Just got a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires.....NON-Run Flats for my 2006 base model. Problem I am having is finding anyone who can do a wheel alignment in my area. The shop that put the tires can't do it cause the car is too low to go on their alignment rack......and I just stopped at the place that did my 77 Corvette alignment a few years ago....and they can't do it either....for the same reason. The car is NOT lowered, just stock height. Anyone know anyone in the Pittsburgh area than has the right alignment rack to do this car? I am very hesitant to try ANY of the local Chevy dealers because most of them have nothing but dipshits working there cause they are so understaffed and nobody wants to work. Grabiak in New Alexandria used to be the Corvette go-to place in the area for Corvettes....but they were bought out by one of the big local car dealership chains.....and they have a total of TWO mechanics working there...TWO.....and things like Corvettes just keep them from working on the everyday vanilla cars that are sold today.

I hate to think I have to do alignments myself, but maybe that is the only choice I have.

Its getting ridiculous. I had to take the car to Rick at RKT Performance in Frederick Maryland to get my harmonic balancer done, as well as the differential and torque tube work I had to have done awhile ago.

 

Not sure how far you are from Whitmoyer Chevy (Mount Joy PA). I know you said no dealers, but I would for sure trust them, they're a Vette-Centric dealer with a great staff.

 

Phoenix Performance in Phoenixville PA has done the alignment on my C6 & it was well worth the drive from NJ.

A base c6 should go on any rack, sounds like those shoes don’t want your business. Are you installing camber plates or something time consuming? An alignment can be anything from a 10 minute Toe adjustment to a 6hr major ordeal

 

I scrape the front air dam even on the smallest dip in the road, so I can see why it won't fit up on the inclined ramp........I guess I could take the air dam off, but its also a problem with the nose over at the top of the ramp, possible hitting the rocker area under the doors.

 

If they can't figure out how to lay down some planks or boards to get it up on the rack, I don't they have the wherewithal to do anything on your car

 

Or maybe it's just an excuse, but the bottom line remains: They've made it clear that they're not interested.
You don't want them touching it.

 

You guys might be right that TWO places I talked to said it won't work......and maybe they don't want the hassle. Could be true. But, I sure did not get that feeling talking to them. My money is as green as the next guys, and one of them did the alignment on my 77 Corvette...which is MUCH more difficult to accomplish.....and they took my money then.
