Default Alignment & Corner Balancing

Anybody recommend a quality alignment shop that also does corner balancing in NW WA, preferably north of Tacoma?

Thanks!

A couple of years ago I worked there for a couple of weeks, otherwise no. Why do you ask?

Sounds nice! How much of the summer do you spend on Stuart?

I recommend Cantrell Motorsports in Bellevue - I've used them for almost a decade now for alignments and they do a professional & thorough job, including putting weights equal to your body weight in the driver's seat for setting the alignment.

TruLine of Bellevue and Seattle is considered to be the go-to by most track enthusiasts for corner balancing and alignment. I've been there several time and they clearly have a lot of experience with Vettes.

Dundon Motorsports in Gig Harbor might be a good option for you. These are guys that use to be at and were partners with Cantrell. I would bet you could get a discount if you tell them you attend track days at the Ridge. I have spoken to the owner at the Ridge a few times had he has offered me a discount to do the setup my Vette. I have also heard very good things about them.
