Have you tried the dealer? That's who I've taken mine (not a C5) in for a 4 wheel alignment and it was cheaper than shops around town. Alot of shops wont touch corvettes because they are "too low".

The last place i went was the dealer. It was a nightmare. I had to bring it back afterwards because the car wouldn't stay straight, and the second time, it took them hours to complete the job because they were struggling to figure out how to do it. Im still not convinced that my car is properly aligned. Ive actually had a few chevy dealers around here tell me my c5 was too low! Its on stock suspension!

Fair enough. I dont know anyone up that way, but figured Id toss out a possible solution. Best of luck on your search.

I'm not familiar with shops in your area, but in past years I've been at events run by the Adirondack Corvette Club (https://adirondackcorvettes.com/index.html) & I suspect if you contact them, they can make a good recommendation.
