Here are 2 from my list:

Stokes Tire & Wheel
1117 Santa Monica Blvd.
Santa Monica, CA 90401
310-393-0767
Ask for Jack

Hotchkis
12035 Burke Street Suite 13
Santa Fe Springs, Ca 90670
(877)-466-7655
Corey for installs

I haven't used Stokes... they were recommended by someone on this forum.

I got an alignment from Hotchkis when they installed my TVS kit. Their waiting room is full of car mags! Great to work with.

I just got my alignment done by Steve at M-Workz in Gardena. I dont know how much he charges just for alignment, but it was $180 for alignment + corner balance.

His number is (310) 713-8386

The addess is 16400 S. Avalon Blvd. Gardena, CA

Sorry, no.

They included the alignment in the price to install springs/sways so I don't know what they charge for the alignment alone.

Call & ask for Corey... he's the guy who does the work.

I guarantee you the best alignment you will ever get will be Westend in Gardena, CA. Darin is the owner and his work is second to none. Google it up.

We can do all of that. We can also install and sell adjustable arms.

What kind of alignment issue did you have that could be solved by buying new tires?

I am going to be putting on new coilovers and wheels and tires soon.

I might have to do the corner balance and alignment thing after that. I was just going to do the alignment but the corner balance sounds good.

+1... Darin did mine... great guy and takes the time to do it right then tweak and dial in even more if needed! I will probably return there when the time comes.

WC Nissan is a good choice too (haven't had an allignment there but the shop is nice and the people are great!).
