Default Denver Area front end alignment

Anyone in the Denver area able to recommend a shop for alignment of my 2006 Vert. I have just over 20K on the Goodyear Eagle F1's. I have wear on RF inside edge and LF both inside and outside edges of the Front tires. Tire wear is not even. I am looking to have alignment checked then I will go for new tires. Rear tires still look great for 20K with even wear. I will be replacing all with the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval RFT.

Any Alignment Shop recommendations for the Denver, CO Area?

A little out of the way, but check out Purifoy Chevy in For Lupton. They do a lot of work on Corvettes.

When looking to have a flat fixed I received several recommendations for Purifoy Chevrolet. If I can't find anything closer or a shop that comes with a can't miss recommendation, I will probably give Purifoy a call. Thanks for the recomendation.

A great lil shop that I have used many times... The best part is that it is a pit you roll on, not up onto. Does custom alignments and doesn't mind you getting into the pit and helping out.

as long as your car is stock they should be able to help. after 4 hrs of waiting for the tech to "align" my C6Z I had to go out and help him finish it. ( and I installed the camber kit lower plates/bolts prior to the appointment)

Standard shop rate for an alignment $129.xx ( at 1.75 hrs)

They charged me 4 hrs X $95/hr.

I originally wanted both a street and track aligment that I could swap out between track events. but I didn;t want to pay for TWO at $400EACH!!!

I now do my own aligments at home. tire wear has been great both street/track since after 7,500 mles.

good luck in your search....

First I want to thank everyone for their help and input. It appears there are several good shops in the Denver Area. The Tire Source at 2828 30th St in Boulder, Elroy & Sons at Colfax & Chase followed by Purifoy. The Tire Source in Boulder is Tire Rack friendly, mounting new tires, balancing and performing alignments for a reasonable price. My plan is to contact The Tire Source and have them install my new tires and perform the alignment. If I were just needing an alignment I would go with Elroy & Sons. Purifoy, while doing good work is by far the most expensive.
