Hey guys. i really need to get an allignment here in the next few days like really really bad. i just got new tires and dropped myself fully on my coils and i dont want my tires to get jacked. are there any good shops in the 909. corona, anaheim, etc area where i can get an alignment ( i have camber arms so id like the guys to know how to toggle with those) for a good price and a good job. thanx

if you don't mind driving a lil.. i would recommend you to go see WestEnd in Gardena. thats where i got mine done and he's really good. i forgot his name tho. sorry

 

Sorry...but another one that is a bit out in costa mesa. i forgot the name, but it's off bristol by the japanese supermarket (marukai). a lot of high profile imports get an alignment there.

 

Wherever you go, make sure your rims don't get scratched. I learned my lesson the hard way

 

well then you need to go Westend.. no alightment tools goes on your wheel.. he does alignment the old school way.. thats wat you call skills~!

 

IPG35- is it possible that you could find the info on the shop out for me and that guys name. how much will it cost. i like the idea of someone who knows what theyre doin and not using tools that could possibly scratch something is a total plus. Gardena is not THAT farr and since im planning to go to perf nissan for a service soon which i think is fairly close maybe ill do it all in 1 day..

thanx

I think the guy's name at WestEnd is Darin/Darren Nishimura. I haven't been there myself, but pretty much all of my friend's who are into cars get their stuff done from him.

 

Oh, here's an article too: http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=1124

 

sweet! thanx amit. ima hit that place up for sure. hopefully Darrin is easy on the wallet

ouch. i just called and talked with Darin and he cant get it done until the week after the 4th of july! thats a long time.. i need one before that for sure i think..

if you don't mind me asking...what price were you quoted?

 

didnt even get that far. gonna have to go somewhere else so didnt even bother.

 

price depends on what you're trying to accomplish.. but just basic alig. with suspension setting will run you about 90-100... you need to make an appt. and will not be anytime soon but i promise you you'll be VERY happy with the result..

 

im also looking to get an alignment, but since i got the aerosync bumper, i was told by a few shops that my car cant even get up onto the rack cuz it is too low. Do any of you know how I can get around this? I really like the height right now and don't want to adjust the coilovers.

 

take the bumper off at the shop.

In Costa Mesa is Hiro's Auto Repair on Paularino between the 55FWY and Bristol (right by the Mitsuwa shopping center)

In HB there's Dales Frame and Alignment on corner of Gothard and Edinger, they do a lot of high end race/exotics and are very reasonable.

In City of Industry, you can see if Alex isn't too busy, he works out of G-Dimensions and does it old school race car style same as above two places but better

 

sweet thanx jeff. do you knoow how much alex @ G dimensions charges?

-B-

 

it vary's... probably around $100 for a "normal" setup without corner balance.

 

Jeff do you know of a good place to get tires mounted locally where they wont **** up your wheels?

 

Status and F1 in LA area

TWS (the wheel supply) in Walnut (57/60fwy's)

Tire's Warehouse in Anaheim (Kraemer & Mira Loma off the 91/57 fwy's)

Used Tire King in Ontario (Miliken and 60fwy)

The place off 5 fwy and Lake Forrest with all the bling wheels (on corner across from Subaru) also Discount tire in Lake Forrest are OK.

Costco in Tustin (El Camino Real) are OK too for 18" and smaller, not sure about 19's...

I've been to all of the above multiple times and never had any problems, and before anyone asks, if you need wheels repaired go to:

SKH Wheel repair on Coronado & Kraemer in Anaheim

and if you needs wheels polished go to:

Al Reed Polishing on Coronado & Kraemer in Anaheim (same complex as SKH)

if you need wheels powdercoated go to:

Ikon Powdercoating in Anaheim (Miller & Mira Loma)
