Sam's wheel alignment. He was recommended by a Vette auto xer & chevy svc manager. His lift is recessed into the concrete to allow lowered cars on it easier. Not the best part of town, but he knows his stuff. Who is that in Owasso Johnny?

I like the Sam idea with the PIT!! Ronnie is an old school guy who has put several of my racecars (c-2 & c-3) right on the specs I wanted.
Let us know how Sam works out I have a C6 that could use some work!

Ok. I've known Ron for years! Definitely an old school rodder. Didn't know he was still doing it.

I's not actually a pit, just sunk the lift into the floor a couple inches so it's easier to drive onto. Then raises up.

Also had mine done @ Mikes Discount in Broken Arrow. He has the recessed lifts & new machines. New tires & alignment, man did it make a difference.

Looking for an alignment shop for my C6.

Are there any new shops to recommend since the thread is a couple years old.


Does anyone know if the Owasso guy is still aligning and if the number is good?


Thanks

Adam

Acme Wheel Alignment...918-587-1014, ask for Greg. It's about 4100 S. Jackson. They have pits and there is no problem getting a lowered car in there, very flat. He has aligned all of my Corvettes and several other cars I have owned.

They are old school, don't use computers. Greg and his son race modified cars, so they understand what they are doing. I would not take my car anyplace else.

Awesome, thanks for the referral! I rode by Sams today to make sure I knew where he was since I was in the area.

Sounds like it will be Sams or Acme at this point. My car is not lowered so short of having to cross a creek to get to the shop I should be fine. Hah.

Thanks
Adam
