Ron that Firestone couldn't get the alignment right on the '93 after three times, I ended up going back to BH in Sanford. Doesn't the H's crew work with Holler Chevy? I think I might prefer to go to them.

I did end up taking it to Holler. They have a great alignment tech (Ryan), he spent a lot of time with the car, ended up putting rear tie rod ends on as well to get it right. He test drove he car and put it back on the rack and tweeked it a couple times. Car drives better than it ever has.

While in Plant City be sure to visit Parkesdale Farm Market for some strawberry shortcake or Fred's Market for some great food.

But to answer your question, I went to
Nix & Black
421 N Orange Blossom Trl
Orlando, FL 32805
(407) 841-4681

in October. They did an excellent job.

Nix and Black are/were great. They were the only place I would take my cars for alignament when Buddy and Cliff ran the place. I called them first and inquired and was quoted $170 for a simple alignment. Holler was $79.99 and I had a $10 off coupon. I don't figure they are twice as good as the dealer, that is why I inquired for alternative shops.

Nix & Black is the only place for alignment on a 'Vette.

While I will agree that Nix and Black are excellent, Holler did equally good job at half the cost.
