Default Any Recommendations for Alignment

Any Shop in the St Pete Beach or Pinellas County for 05 C6 Coupe front end alignment? Steering wheel is a little to the left when going straight but not pulling and no noticeable tire wear. I can take hands off and it tracks straight?

Thanks in advance

Check with GM Junkie .Send him a PM he's a member on this forum.Depending on your type of driving there are different settings.In my case he set me up so I can get 40,000 miles out of a set of tires

Had my lowered 96 done there after I swapped out the rack-n-pinion. They did me right for sure. Only place I'll take my vette for alignments.

Smile Wheels Lined Up

Thanks for the help. Took it in and Wayne set it to factory specs. (Never got a PM reply from GM Junkie). Turns out the owner & I grew up about 15 miles apart. Wayne took aligning the wheels very seriously - he did a great job! Would recommend him but his work is not a 30 minutes $69.95 special - took him at least two hours and he would have taken all of the time necessary to get it right. The boss said he has seen him take more then four hours.

They invited anyone in the area to come in for Corvette work.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Sorry,I thought I replied to your PM,I've been busier than a cat covering crap!!
I set Steve's car up with tried and proven settings of my own that will optimize tire Life,You WILL loose some controllability at HIGH SPEED!!!!(Speeds in Excess 120-140 MPH,If you drive allot at High Speed,These Settings are NOT for you!!) I'll bet Steve's hasn't even seen his age yet, and thats 93!! Also the car will feel somewhat lighter on the road at all speeds!!

Lt Front 0 camber, 7 1/4*+ caster
Rt Front 0 camber, 7 1/2*+ caster
1/32 Toe In

Lt Rear 0 camber
Rt Rear 0 camber
1/64 Toe In


As far as who is good in your area,I haven't a clue!
But it sounds like you found a good one!!
