You might try Weber Wheel Alignment in WPB. Old school type of place, but I have not used them in many years as my daily driver (06 Impala) holds a great factory alignment forever, giving me 100k miles on my last set of Michelins.
Also, maybe call Jeremy from Horsepower Sales and see who they recommend.

If my tire wear is good and even and the handling seems correct, I don't let anyone mess with my alignment.

Don't know about PB county, but if you want to take a drive to Miami, check out the alignment factory, he is awesome.

Just had mine aligned by Eismann's Corvette Center after having tires installed. Rides smooth and tracks true so I'm pleased. I didn't ask how bad it was out, probably should have. In any event I wanted alignment checked because of the new tires and had bought the car used. $200

I like Firestone. Why, You can get a Lifetime alignment. As long as you own your car you can take it to any Firestone dealer any time and get a 4 wheel laser alignment done, you get a print out of the as found alignment specs and as left specs. I purchased mine in 08. I get the alignment checked twice a year and when I get new tires put on. I paid around $120.00 for the life time alignment in Huntington Beach Ca, I now live in Juno Beach Fl. So far, with over 125,000 miles on my Vette I have had 14 alignments performed, the average price is now less than $9.00 and dropping. Are they good, I use Firestone wide oval RFs and average about 35,000 miles a set, So Yes they are good and the tires always wear evenly, though for some strange unknown reason, the back ones tend to wear out faster than the fronts.......

I generally have the tires installed and the alignment done at my local Chevy dealer in Greenacres. I have the itre dropped shipped by Tire Rack then they do the rest. Found them to be the best price for the work.

Thanks, good to know.

I bought my 'vette from Maroone, (now Autonation Chevy in Greenacres), and was wondering if they'd install tires that I had delivered to them.

You just answered my question...thanks again.

Tire Kingdom, also in Juno Beach and many locations offers similar alignment deals and great tire pricing.

I would also recommend Webber Wheel Alignment. I used to bring my pickup trucks there. They were the only ones who could effectively align a Ford twin I beam.

Many years ago I tore down the old house in the back that was their office. I'm glad you made me think about this.





That's me on the machine back in the day. Webbers canopy is just to the right barely visible.
