Default San Antonio Alignment

About to finish the rear suspension upgrade. Anyone know of a good shop in or near San Antonio for 4 wheel C3 alignment?

Check with the guy who owns Corvette Service. As I recall, he'd trained the alignment person at a nearby NTB or Brake Check (can't remember which) to do C3 alignments...

I've actually had pretty good luck with the (believe it or not) Pep Boys at 410 and Marbach. I gave them non standard settings I wanted, and they did a very good job of getting them there.

I've used them twice. They were good about letting me in and observing. They kept me informed when they were unable to achieve a caster setting I wanted, but worked extra at it to get it as close as possible.

Fronts are pretty standard, but how did they do on the rear? I suppose you supplied the shims.

No problems with the rear, except they were going to forgot to put the cotter pins back in. Since I was hovering around most of the time, I caught it before they took it off the rack.

Wish I'd remember the name of the guy who actually did it. He seemed to be pretty concientous, and really liked the corvette.

I did supply the shims, btw.

The car tracks great, especially with the additional caster.
