Default West End Alignment: Best Alignment work, EVER!

Just wanted let everyone know that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop to anyone how needs an alignment. From casual, daily driver use to full time attack suspension & alignment setup.

Darin, who owns and runs to shop, is one of the few that does this BY HAND and is super damn accurate! I just got my alignment done and it is the best job I have ever had! This guy really knows what he's doing. Very straight up guy, and really dope to talk to. It was a great experience. If you check other car enthusist websites, you'll hear them ranting and raving about West End.

If you are in SoCal and need an alignment for your baby, GO TO THIS SHOP! But I should warn you, you have to make an appointment, usually 1-2 weeks in advance. He's only open M-F also, so plan ahead.

Take the time to drive to this place, it will be well worth your time!

I'm sure it depends on what you want adjusted and how easy your suspension is to adjust.

Darrin charged me $90 since I had adjustible camber and toe arms. Again, a little pricier than other places, but believe me, VERY WELL WORTH IT! He even gave me the option to set in the car as he did an alignment to better tune "stuff" (insert alignment term for "stuff"). He went into a whole explaination about it. He also does corner weighting, but I'm not sure how much that is.

He does a lot of race cars, as he claims, but I didnt get a chance to ask for specifics. But I look at it this way: The guy only opens up appointments one week at a time, two weeks out, and HE ALWAYS GETS BOOKED UP! On top of that, he does not advertise AT ALL! All his clients come in by referrals and word of mouth. He's doing something right to survive this long!

i got mine done 3 months ago and love it. Car felt more precise and more responsive, my front had some crazy *** toe outs that needed to be resolved fast. Not to mention the great service, he even gave me a donut. How's his EF hatch going? is it done yet?

he usually is booked up for about a month. He did my s2000 and now does cars for my friend who is a dealer. The guy is top notch! When I was there he was doing an alignment on an 8 sec camaro.
