Just wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere other than West End Alignment. I was planning on using them, but their schedule has got to be the worst ever. How can you not be open on the weekend? I don't want to take off work just to have an alignment done.

 

sears?

 

You must be joking.

 

I've used Wheel warehouse in Anaheim and Shoreline motoring in Huntington Beach. Shoreline has a better customer service.

 

Yeah Wheel Warehouse does not do specialty alignment by any means.

 

Accurate Alignment in Orange did mine and I was happy with my results; would recommend.

 

Did you get anything special done or a basic 4 wheel? What did they charge you??

 

Basic corner alignments (camber, toe, caster, etc.). I was referred from another forum member here since this place is careful if you have a lowered car and they tape up the brackets on the equipment whereas not to scratch up the rims. I believe cost was around $90.

In terms of special, I had them set the camber to run more aggressive.

 

i have lifetime alignment at the firestone on diamond bar blvd and grand. they do a nice job (usually can put my car on the alignment rack anytime i bring it in otherwise u can call and make an appointment).

 

If you can't make it to West End, a lot of our regional autocrossers also go to:

Hiro's Auto
714-545-5090.
3042 ENTERPRISE ST # D
COSTA MESA, CA 92626

 

The only problem with Hiro's is that they are not particularly careful with your car when they are working on it.

 

I was very happy with Burbank Alignment in North Hollywood.

 

West end is closed until the middle of august which is basically now so no big. I went to Dave's frame and allignment off edinger & Gothard in HB and he did a good job. go early tho or else u wont get in and they dont take appmts.

Bee-Line in Fullerton down the street fron the DMV on Valencia.

 

I used to take my car to Johnson's Alignment in Torrance a lot. Their main clientele are Porsche owners

 

Darin at West End used to work there before he went out on his own. I remember he came to the shop to let us know about his new alignment business and that was one of his selling points. Before West End, I also took my car to Johnson's.

 

arent all alignments done the same everywhere? they use that mashine to lift your car and put some thing on your tire and another big machine has lights blinking as it alings? haha funny way to explain it

 

Nope there is more accurate ways to do an alignment.

 

I know westend uses the old school equipment, but what would be the advantage over say a hunter alignment machine.

 

I remember asking darrin over the phone and I think he got a little annoyed over the question. To my recollection, he said that there wasn't an advantage to either one, just personal preference. He made some type of analogy with doctor's tools and something else, but I forget the exact details.
