Default Front end alignment

Any body have any recommendations on where to get a front end alignment on my Camaro? I'm in the University Village area of Seattle. I just got the new suspension on.

I would never go to less slob. I have never had a good experience with them. quality and prices suck. I go to clarks in kirkland. they are good and meticulous. also they will customise your alignment. IE: adjust your alignment for hard cornering etc. ~Guy

Yeah, I've had mixed experiences at different locations...

At this point I've got an account at the South Auburn location and they have always done a great job...Only issue I've ever had there is when a battery I ordered didn't arrive on time...

North Auburn and Tacoma have fucked up things a few times...Luckily they were minor things and I never had them do work for me again.

I take mine to Omni Brake in Kirkland next door to NW Differentials. They can give you any alignment you want. I got an ORR type alignment that works great. Tell them you want one like they did on the red TA that Ellis' friend brought in.....I have a tube k-member BTW.

ya I've only heard of problems with les scwhab. I had a new set of front tires put on my last car then had them re align it and the tires were toast within like three or four months. I thought it was retarted my fronts wore before the rears. My dad has a 75 vette and he has had to go back 3 or 4 times for them to redo the alignments, they only warranty for 3 months so you have to go back every two months and have them check it or something.

I gotten several alignments on different vehicles at Les Schwab. I had to take it back to them to try again on multiple ocassions. They did do ok on my Jeep, but that was a solid front axle, so not a whole lot to mess up.

Don't have a recommendation for that side of the water though.
