Default Alignment again
I had alignment corrected at 1200 miles at Bill Heard. Had to steer slightly to left to go straight. At 7300 miles symptoms are slowly coming back. Is it still under warranty a second time. Should I bring my C6 to a different shop. If so what shop near Las Vegas. Car has not hit any hard bumps so I don't know why it is going out of alignment again.
TIA

Warranty states coverage up to 7500 miles, so should be covered, but I would ask before committing.

Called service adviser at dealership today. He said warranty only covered alignment to 7000 miles. Need to fix ashtray anyway. So 10-2 is first available date for appointment.

Chevy tech told me it is typical for these Corvettes to come from factory out of alignment and it needs alignments at least once a year.

I'd also check to see if you have a slow leak in a tire.

I didn't even know that I could get it aligned under warranty. 3,000 miles, so far. Any good places in Central FL?

Had mine aligned at 900 miles. Tech said that the alignment was pretty good for factory but the left rear toe was way out.
