Default Socal Shop

i took my car to nissan recently for an allignment and they couldnt get it straight and basically wasted my money. i paid 100 bux for alligenment and the manager is real **** making shitty excuses how my car is low and i need a camber kit (which was on car). i was wondering does anyone know any good allignment shops so i can go somewhere reputable, i checked out thread for "socal shops" but its more parts and install

thanks

Never been to it, but alot of people seem to recommend "West End Alignment" in Gardena.

Nissan dealers aren't going to align your car right even if you do have a camber kit. I went to WC Nissan and they said the same ****.

I go to West Covina Discount Tire by the West Covina Mall... not all Discount Tires are good.. in fact.. most are shitty.. but that one is good. the manager knows his stuff and give u a spec sheet afterward explaining all the things he did. I watch the workers do everything next to them..

Sorry to hijack. But m0nkie, I was wandering how the Wesco Discount Tire is with mounting tires? I got some Toyo T1Rs that have negative camber wear that I need to be flipped. Thanks.

Depending on where you are located...West End has a great reputation with the Subaru Crowd. If you don't mind a little drive...I would go see Robi at Robispec in Hesperia. Sometimes he comes down to HB speed in Fountain Valley for suspension days. Robispec specializes in suspension setups for those "track minded" folks!

For alignment go to ED @ Precision Z.

For wheel/tire mounting go to STATUS in Torrance. There guy there G has been mounting aftermarket wheels on a daily basis for 10+ years. He knows what he is doing.
