Like the title says, I'm looking for a good, reputable shop to do an alignment on my '04 CE, I had it done at a local shop a while back, and I don't think they did a very good job, the car wears the insides of the fronts at an alarming rate. I appreciate any help with this.

Megan or Karem will take great care of you.

I'm sure somebody else will confirm, but I believe the front insides will wear with the factory alignment specs.....

As an aside - I'd be interested in NC recommendations...

been years since I used them but they are great to deal with.

Where are you located?

Thanks for the tip LEAVINU I am in Charleston SC. Does anyone have any input on what oh1vette posted? I used to have a 99 that I put about 165,000 miles on and it wasn't this hard on the tires. But it wasn't a Z either...

North Atlanta near the Mall of GA.

Not too easy to get around it with the massive tires the Z comes equipped with however; it is very possible to drastically reduce unecessary wear with a quality alignment. My girlfriend has a GS and wore her fronts out in 8k miles. Took her car to GTE and all 4-wheels were all over the place. Heavy toe OUT, poor camber on some wheels good camber on other wheels, etc. I'll never assume a "new" car has a perfect alignment again thats for sure.

I need to get this done then huh? Chamblee...man that's a LONG way from Marietta.

It's worth the drive... best alignment shop around.

I have used them before too. Good experience. Even took some off the price when we had a misunderstanding.

I have also used Butler Tire on roswell road. Weren't as friendly as Gran Turismo East, but they did a good job.

LEAVINU

Well worth it in my opinion no doubt. I take all four of our vehicles there without question. I drive from the MOG area so its pretty close to the same frmo Marietta, just coming from the east instead.

Not everything worth driving too is around the "big chicken" ya know.

ChevyCobb

I have heard that Butler Tire near Powers Ferry and Roswell road does a good job. Only heard though....and that's near the big chicken

Would you guys recommend these shops to do a corvette alignment after a coilover install?

93Polo

Butler is usually good as are some other shops around for a normal allignment.

For a corner weight and allignment on a coil over system Gran Tourismo is the only shop I would use.

dtm151

Sounds good!, Thanks for the recommendation. I called and will roll on over on my way to RA

Had mine aligned today at Perfect Performance, Inc. in Roswell, GA. OUTSTANDING Alignment rack/machine (the drive on type) and the tech had aligned 100's of Corvettes, Ferrari's & Porsche's so I was comfortable with him doing it.

Just throwing my hat in the ring. I do corner balancing (Longacre scales) and alignments quite often for forum members. I can also install coilovers, poly bushings, locking camber blocks, brake upgrades etc. Pretty much whatever you need. I specialize in suspension setups for C5's.

Let me know if I can help.

dtm151

I forgot to give the report on Gran Turismo, the guys were EXCELLENT and extremely helpful in getting my coils aligned.

Performance Chassis in Cary does a great job for street or track alignments.

Any guesstimate how much does it cost?

Do you do just front or front and back?

I am also worried with my GS misaligned.

Do you have to tell the folks at Gran Turismo the correct specs for the alignment?

Thx,
