need an alignment
I have raised and lowered my car so many times, I think its time for an alignment. Tires seem to be wearing a little more on the inside than the outside.
Any places in the Dallas area you would recommend? How much did you pay?

Re: need an alignment (kumar75150)
While not on your side of town, I've had great results and top-notch service from the NTB on I35 in Carrolton and the NTB in Grapevine. I'm sure they have a store on your side of town. They will let you hang out in the service bay and talk to the tech while they are working on your car with their Hunter equipment. Alignment earlier this year was $89, with a one-year warranty.
Good luck!

Re: need an alignment (C5 StockSwap)
Kumar,
I got mine aligned at Firestone for 130$ lifetime but they don't do lifetime anymore.
However, they will do one time for 65$. The store is in Garland and there is a tech pro about C5 alignment. He did mine for over 2 years and my tires are wearing evently. I just got mine aligned again after the engine got pulled.
Here is the address:
3443 W Campbell rd
Garland, TX 75044
Asking for James Morris
:cheers:

I also used the NTB on I-35 just a block north of Beltline in Carrollton. Excellent Service and they let me back in the shop to supervise the work on my car. I had custom alignment spec's. :thumbs:

Re: need an alignment (IM4A2Z)
Your Alignment is only as good as your tech.
A good tech
a: asks how your car drives to you.
b: test drives and verifys your complaint
c: puts it on the rack and verifys it drives like the geometry numbers says it should.
d: looks at tire wear patterns/compares with geometry numbers
e: makes corrected adjustments with all in mind with +.5% L/H pull
f: test drives and verifys
This takes time. Your corvette desirves a quality alignment
trick is.........to find some one that cares...you never know what kinda shop you may find him in......interview around
