anyone know a good firestone alignment shop around San Antonio ?
How was it crap? Could you expand on that a little?

San Antonio is a pretty big city, if I remember correctly when I visited family a long time ago, so you should have more than one down there. A quick search on Firestone's website shows 21 in SA. Maybe call a few and ask if they are familiar with the Camaro and doing alignments to the customers specs?

Also ask if you can watch while your car is being worked on. If they say no that is usually a red flag. Of course that does not mean you can not watch from the doors like a HAWK. I always stick around and watch and chat up the mechanic whenever someone is working on my car. I usually do all my own work but there are some things I just can not do myself.

You also may try calling a few speed shops in the area and ask where they take their cars for alignments or even ask the Firestones if any of the speed shops bring their cars there.

Finally, are you bringing in the specs you want your car aligned to? Are you also getting the print out of the specs that the car is being aligned to before and after because they should be giving you those. And of course if they are not aligning the car to your satisfaction why are you letting them get away with it?

Just a few thoughts of mine to hopefully help you out. I know of a few shops up here that bring their cars to Firestones for alignments.
