Looking for a shop that can perform a 4-wheel alignment and familiar with Fiero's. Mine is an '88 GT.
Thanks

Bob (A_Pegasi) or Rob (QwikGTA) from Va Fieros both live in Va beach and should be able to steer you to a reputable shop

I've gotten alignments at Tread Quarters on my 86. Pep Boys will do one on the 88's and 87's only. They have specs listed in their machine for 87 and 88. I could not convince them it was because the suspension was the same on 84-87 and that only 88's were different. I was told about a local shop named Bob's, I believe. Not sure where it's located though, and not real positive on the name.

I use a very good dedicated alignment shop over here on the Eastern Shore.

About 30 miles and a $17 bridge toll away.

IIRC, the alignment specs are different on 84-85, 86, 87, and then 88. They may only have valid specs for 87 and 88 in their system.

I recall Bob and Rob mention a shop in VA Beach, I think near Precision Powdercoating, where they had alignments done. Might have been Ultimate on London Bridge Rd?

I have an 88 also and Firestone will do it. They have 88 specs and you can get a lifetime guarantee.
My local one here in Yorktown, Va. is really good

I wish I had known Firestone did lifetime warranties. I was looking for that for my sons Fiero. TQ only did the 4 wheel with 90 days. The Fieros seem to get out of alignment easy, and we are always updating stuff, so i think the lifetime is worth the extra cash for the Fiero.
