Sacramento - Alignment?

Any good places for a Camaro alignment in the Sacramento area?

As you may know, Camaros have single-use bolts for Rear Camber and Toe. Supposed best shop in town, Clark Frame and Alignment, made a huge deal about it, "You would be the first" to ever request this, car has to be dropped off instead of waited on, would have charge me extra even if I supply the bolts. Their appointment slots are only an hour so this would make their waiting room full of upset customers... I tried to explain it's probably not as big of a deal as they're imagining. They seemed upset I even dared ask them to follow GM's requirements, like saying Mercedes also says replace U-bolts but they never do, etc. That attitude honestly freaked me out, like if they're this cavalier and only care about their in/out without even first understanding how easy the procedure is... not a good sign as a customer.

So do you guys a shop/dealer recommendation who will do an alignment with the new bolts?

I took mine to Valley Tire in West Sacramento. It's a truck shop, but they took my car in. I made a deal about not scratching my wheels and no test drive, understanding they wouldn't guarantee anything without one. I accepted the terms and was in-and-out for the most part.

Go to Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista. They have the hardware, know how to use it, and they specialize in Corvettes, Camaros, race cars, and classics.

Thanks for the tips, I think I'll check out Abel Chevy.

Heard about them in the C8 world for accepting Corvette "courtesy deliveries" (order cheap at the largest national Corvette dealer, then deliver locally to Abel Chevy).
