Rodger Crowse Racing I think. (I probably butchered the spelling of his last name.)
I used Custom Alignment in Mountain View for my SN-95 when I had it. They were the only shop I went to that could get that car to drive straight.

I used these guys. I was a little disappointed, my car still pulls to one side, and they charged me for stuff that I had asked them not to do. Other than that, I have decently even tire wear.

how about taking it back and getting them to fix it. Their work ethic is impeccable, in my experience at least.. This was back in the day, when i had the 03 and they were installing rear bushings on my car... well.. some guy with a major attitude walked in from the street and said he had just purchased a car that had had some work done there a while back with the previous owner and the car was not driving well.
This guy was being a Jerk... I loved how Joe(owner) told him to relax or take his attitude elsewhere and then eventually after having the a-hole apologize profusely, opted to take care of him...
Now, that is customer service ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Really? They had told me that it was going to be a little off.. I was in a hurry that day so I didn't really even stay and try to talk. My other problem that kind of bothered me was I had 3 broken wheel studs, 2 on the driver's (just broke the morning I was on my way there), 1 on the passenger. I told them I was really short on funds, so I asked them to replace 2 on the driver's side with some Morosos.. well, they ended up doing all 3 and charging me for them. It wasn't that they were rude or anything, I just wished they would have okayed it with me before doing the rest of the work.
All that aside, I went there because a bunch of my friends recommended it.

i would call them, be polite and see if they can help you out. I can totally understand why you'd be upset about the wheel studS? did you complain? i dont' think it's fair that you paid for 3 if you asked for too. i'm surprise the shop didn't compromise a bit.
Anyhow.. try giving them a call, if they'll fix it under warranty then take it back. otherwise take it to one of the hundreds of shops that offer a year-2 year warranty and get it done there. the prices are all comparable.
Good luck.

Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley is what you're referring to. They deal alot with corvettes and road racing/auto-crossing suspension setup. My brother just got his C6 aligned there a couple of months ago, excellent service.
Custom Alignment also does custom alignment jobs and they are reputable as well.
Both places are pricey and offer awesome customer service from my experience. Expect to pay about $120-160 for either place.

Tires can make your car pull too. Swap your tires from side to side and see if the pull changes or goes away. I had a rear tire cause a pull once too but thats really rare.

They recommended brand new tires before alignment, so I bought my tires and the next day went and got it done. It pulled right after it was done.. I actually haven't noticed if it still does since I got used to it. Hmm, thinkin back, maybe that's why my studs snapped, those fools at the tire shop probably didn't use a torque wrench. Anyhow, since everybody else seems to have good things to say about them, I guess I'll give them another chance the next time I need an alignment done.
Btw, the price was about $150 for an alignment in case the poster was wondering.
