Default Alignment shop in WA state?

Hello,


This is more tech related but thought it would reach a wider audience on the general side of the forum. I'm having no luck finding a dealer or shop who has the rear caster gauge to do an alignment before I install
a DSC controller. Anyone know of a good shop in Washington state, preferably Eastern Washington?


Thank you, Rick

You might have better luck posting in the PNW section.

None that I know of, but several (western WA) who are willing to use the GM tool loan service program to borrow the tool. Just call the service mgr at closest dealer in your area and ask them to borrow it thru GM loan program.

Dan's Corvettes in Auburn, WA don't have their own but they send it to a guy in town who did very well with mine after a Goodyear Factory store couldn't get it right in FOUR tries......

Thank you, Rick
If you have a reason to drive to Bellevue, Cantrell Motorsports does an excellent job with the recommended DSC alignment, including rear caster. They bought my rear caster gauge from me so they can do more Corvettes - their alignment guy really likes doing C7 alignments and they do a great job, including putting your body weight equivalent in the driver's seat.

Matter of fact, if you set up an alignment for Friday, June 9th, I'm going to have a Corvette gathering/BBQ at my house in Kent (just south of the Bellevue area) on Saturday, June 10th. stay the night and come meet some other 'Vette owners from the west side of the state.

PM me if you have any questions.

Aaron

Kimballs in Tacoma aligned my vette after lowering.

They were also the only shop I could find in the area that would install adjustable ball joints on my previous car.

Have not been to them in a few years, but they seem willing to try just about anything.

Default Trueline

I also have the DCS controller Installed and had the Trueline Bellevue shop do the alignment. I had to buy the special tool too... Had the Seattle shop do work on my cars, they are first rate also.

Rick,

Look up Advanced Auto Fabrication in Spokane Valley. Hank is a great guy and he specializes in alignments and suspension. Tell him Tom from Tuner Goods sent you.
