Alignment shops good with C3 Corvettes in Portland, OR area?
 
Anybody have a lead on a go-to guy here? I was sent to someone (reccomended) who really rubbed me the wrong way when I started asking questions about different setups. I'm sure someone knows a good shop in the Portland/Vancouver area.

Go to VB&P website. Download the alignment specs. Take them with you to a shop, tell them to set it up IAW the specs.

Any shop that is familiar with older cars should be able to accommodate your C3. Drive by and see what's in the lot.

Otherwise, go to the Corvette Forum, join and ask there. Might hit the regional section and ask there as well.

I've been going to Carl's Alignment & Brakes for about 15 years with both race & street cars. They know suspensions and have a modern alignmemt machine to go along with old time hammers

Don't expect a hIgh zoot waiting area. It is shop with grease on the floor.....but mostly covered up with early iron. There is a mechanic's shop & a muffler shop in the same building.....a friendly, old timey type joint.

The shop is in Vancouver, WA. but easy to find/get to (360-694-6025).

I was up at Carl's shop..early afternoon yesterday.....and someone called for a quote for work on a 70s Vette.....I wasn't listening much....I've got problems of my own.
The young fella answering the phone came over to Carl after he hung up and asked if there were any stumbling blocks on aligning a Vete. Carl said (paraphrased).....There is no large problems, a bit different, but just another alignmen, normal pricet....So he's familar with em'.
