Default C5 alignment on the Eastside

Recommendations? Had this done by Corvettes of Auburn last time; I *think* they have a local alignment place they work with . Did it right, but trying to avoid the drive

Had gone with more aggressive auto-x settings, but it's significantly reducing tire wear and I'm not getting to the autocrosses anyway, so...

Thanks!

I always go to Cantrell Motorsports in Bellevue (used to be in Kirkland). They even find out how much you weigh and put that weight in the driver's seat for doing the alignment.

TruLine of Bellevue. They have experience with Corvettes and are very good about being accurate.

If you want to go a bit further north I've had good experiences with Omni in Kirkland with mine. No sitting in the seat for adjustment though, that's an interesting one.

I have used Omni around 8 times since 2000 and had great success at a reasonable cost. When we got the new C7 Z06/Z07 in 2015 Omni hadn’t had time to upgrade/ purchase the instruments to do the alignment so I used Cantrell.

They also gave me a great alignment which held up for 4 years with no issues. I asked for a conservative track/ street setting and at 16k miles, the inside of the front tires had started to wear, where as a stock Z06 setting would have left the front inside tired chorded.

Omni did my 2013 ZR1 in ‘13. I asked for a street alignment and the fronts are still good with 24K on the original tires (6 years) ! The rears were gone by then however, not do to alignment

You can’t lose with either.

I just had mine done last week at Chase Race in Duvall. Two thumbs up.

They had a shorter lead time than Tru-Line or Cantrell, too.

I have used Tru-line in the past for my c6z before lowering but after lowering they were not able to get it on the rack so took it to Cantrell. Both did good work.
