Default Recommend me: Alignment shop

I live in Temecula. Willing to drive a fair distance, so SD or IE shops.

Was curious if anyone had any recommendations at all. When I lowered my last car, I took it to Big O' Tires here in Temecula, but wasn't sure if I should be more picky with the Z.

Drop is going to be Tanabe GF210's, and I'm installing them on Thursday @ 4myride in Ontario along with my Volks.

Thanks,

Ty

West LA is a bit to far.

As for the local dealer, are they the best bet?

No problem. I came from a Mitsu, so my dealer couldn't even do my alignment (I think). Makes things easier just going to the dealer.

Mossy Nissan in El Cajon. Talk to Jesse the service manager and have Mark one of the techs there do the alignment for you.

install spc rear camber kit before you get it aligned.. (got the kit for $183 shipped from NOPI)
I have the same setup.. GF210's with 19" volks.. the rear camber is probably at -2.5 ish settled
take this advice if you plan on fixing your camber

I was planning on the camber kit, just not right now.

Maybe I should alter the question. I'm worrying about the mechanics messing up my Volks, so I was wanting shops that people trust with their $$$ wheels.
