Default Allignment

So I'm getting my "hypothetical" car back from Rick sometime on sunday and it will need an allignment.

Any thoughts on where I should take it?

Thanks!

They are the best, but you better have a sense of humor when you go there right Frank.

Watch out for your wheels. The alignment is great but the equipment may scratch your wheels. Make sure you mention it when talking to him. Great guy and reasonable price.

I also will be needing an alignment. This piece scares me though. I just got new wheels for my car.

Watch out for your wheels. The alignment is great but the equipment may scratch your wheels.
I am looking for a place that will adjust the bolts and lower my Z06 then align it. I do not feel like trying to do the lower without a lift. And I want to align it right afterwards.

The equipment they use mounts on the bead of your rims. Thery are very careful and I would not worry.
If it were to scratch your wheels it would be an absolutely miniscule mark that only the most **** of **** vette guys would lose sleep over.
