Best alignment shop

Carlrx7 · 11-30-2010, 08:17 PM

about to put on ALOT of suspension parts on the race car(LOL), and would like to know where the best place to get it an alignment done at.

they need to have a low profile car lift, my car couldn't get on tire racks last year so i gave up.

Tupperway on Ladson Road does great work. My car was pretty damn low and they got it knocked out without an issue.

i wouldnt go there, the last time we used them they broke a door panel on a customers SSR and we called about it and they said they checked with the tech and he didnt do it when he/they are the only ones that could have done it. we have used Tread Quarters down on trolley rd and had good results. there rack i believe has long ramps to work with low cars. Good luck

Take It to hendrick Chevy and ask for Martin to do it. He knows those cars very well

The "great" Marin is the one who messed up more stuff on my Z06 than he fixed. I'll just list the stuff he broke on my car:

cross threaded 2 lug nuts
2 gauge clusters
cut door pillar
center vent on dash
radio bezel
gas door button in consol

Everytime he worked on the car I had to take it back because he broke something else on the car and they had to replace that. Not to mention all the times he left stuff unplugged, cig lighter, HUD controls, tractor control button. Those are just a few off the top of my head that were all from Martin. This was on a 20,000 mile Z06.

you was towing tractors with this Z06? SWEET

That sucks Lorenz. I have had him do gears, alignments, brakes, electrical work and regular service on my silverado, yukon and cobalt with no issues. He's also done a lot of work for Drew and his father. He has been good to us. I can see why you don't refer him! ha.

Carl, if that discourages you, ask for Kelly. He also has a vette and has been around those cars almost as much as Martin. I know for a fact they can get lowered vettes on their rack at hendrick.

The tire place across from the old Michael Chevrolet on Main St. in Summerville has a lift that is flush with the floor for alignments. Got my old C10 in there and it was 2 1/2" from lower control arm to ground.......

Carlrx7 · 12-01-2010, 05:46 PM

Thanks everyone so far, I have friday off and might do some drive around and see if i can find an employee that ownes and drives a c5/c6. I got plenty of gas. so far got four shops to stop by.

thanks again, and keep them coming!

Joes Alignment in West Ashley. Lined up the race car and the ride around car. They use the old fashion alignment machine. That new computer alignment stuff didnt work too well for me.

Tupperway

I know at Corey at autometrics in west askley is part owner and does all the
alignments on the cup cars, and their alignment machine is set up for really
low cars. We have a good alignment machine here at NISSAN, and a a few good alignment guys but nobody would wanna f with that car. Go see Corey, hes really good.

LXtasy · 12-03-2010, 01:03 PM

i had to take my ole bagged truck to hay tire in west ashley near the harbor.

1998ta__1991rs · 12-03-2010, 07:52 PM

autometrics would probably be the best place other than a dealer for the vette
