In a 69 Vette you need shims for the rear toe adjustment. So bought a shim set and had it ready for them. This time at Wheelworks, this guy still wouldn't touch it. It's worth the extra money to have it done by someone who isn't an idiot. I haven't let anyone touch the alignment on the Z yet. Tires wear perfect so I'm not going to let them screw it up.
Good call, don't touch the alignment until you have a reason to ; i.e. uneven tire wear or handling issue.
The majority of shops will screw it up even more.
