Default Alignment recommendations in SD

Moved to SD from Washington state and had to raise my car up about an inch due to all the steep roads and driveways in SD, now I need an alignment. Can anyone recommended a good shop that is familiar with Corvettes? Preferably in southern SD.

When you say SD do you mean San Diego? If so, I use Align Tech in Escondido. They have lots of experience with Corvettes.

Yes, San Diego. Thanks for the tip! Hoping to find something more local but I'll drive out there if I have to. When I got it aligned before in Washington I just went to a local shop and wasn't happy with the results. They also said they had difficulty because of the wide tires, not sure why though.

About Service in Escondido does mine. They build race cars and compete in the Optima Ultimate Street Car series. I bring them the specs I want and they get it done right.

I use Big O in La Mesa for my Vette. I have them use the Pfadt alignment specs.

I too use the Pfadt specs and take my car to Marco at Firestone Tire in Rancho Bernardo. My Firestone runflats have over 25,000 miles on them and look excellent. I get them checked every 5,000 miles.
