Any Denver area C owners? Alignments???

I'm having a devil of a time finding a shop that'll do an alignment on our 31FK! Right now, the only shop who's said 'Yes' is Transwest up in Frederick. It's a two week wait and then a $600 bill.

Ooooooooof!

Any Denver area folks that have had their Class C aligned? If so, can you share where?

thank you!
  • Call Allstars RV if they don't they may know who does. I have had work done there before very good shop they also do El monte rentals.
  • You don't say what chassis you have, but we used to take our 2010 36FK Seneca to John Elway Chevy (old Burt) on South Broadway. I believe they can do the chassis work. We had the C5500 Chassis.

  • Thanks - its the E450 Super Duty. But the 31FK is a biggun... 18' between the wheels and 32' bumper to bumper.

    I called A&E Tire in Commerce City and they said the probably can. I make try them first!

    I assume you are aware of the caster issues (ie > 5 degrees) associated with the Ford E350/E450 series alignments.
  • I live in far east Denver. I had my 31 ft Class C aligned at Rush (Medium Duty) Ford Truck Center. I asked in advance if I could bring my own Ingalls adjustable bushings along for installation so I could be assured of 5 degrees positive caster. They said that would be fine...... they installed them, and I got my 5 degrees (it helped.) The alignment guy came up to the counter when I picked it up so I could talk to him about how it all went!

    Not inexpensive; as I recall about $239 a few years ago ..... more now, no doubt. You'll need an appt.

    I always take my toad and leave the coach. They like that, cuz ya never know how long it will take ..... or what they might run into. I have never had to leave it overnight yet.

    So far I have used them for any chassis work that is beyond my capability. I recently installed new front brakes with my grandson's help and just didn't like the way they "felt". They took it for a l-o-n-g test drive after looking at my install and said the brakes were great.....not to worry. $80

    Not cheap (who is, really?) but they are about the only game in town for most things for an RV with an E450 chassis. I am happy with them overall.

    Good luck, and safe travels.
  • Thanks!!

    A&E did a standard alignment. I'm aware of the caster issues but I needed something down quickly as I was wearing out tires.

    I'll call Rush when the season winds down!

    Thank you!
