Rush motorsports in Santee has 4 wheel alignment. They deal with nice rides all the time so they should be good on not messing your body or rims up. Tell Luis the owner you want to make sure of it and they will take care of you. Make sure you tell him though because i know the mechanics use impact guns on rims if they arent told.

Seems like you've been a patron of many alignment shops in the last few years. I'm giving Clarence Brown a try.

since that post in 2009, I've had my car aligned at a couple of other shops. I would go to Vista Brake and Alignment. By far, the best alignment I've had and only $ 65

^^ ask for John, their tech. He asked what I was aiming for and what I liked and disliked about my current settings. Took his time and the car felt great afterwards. I've refereed others there and they have been happy. John is an ex scca guy.

No prob. Another place to consider is Lutz Tire on Market. They charge about 100 and it was second best to Vista Brake. The guy there does alot of scca cars as well.

I've heard nothing but good things about Clarence Brown, but they are a little pricey... I went to Vista Brake, and it was about $65, if I recall... They are very professional and they were very careful with my car!

Most of these guys are closed on the weekend. I just need a front toe adjustment so it shouldn't be too bad.

Hopefully, they're open this monday.

Default Hey, that's my Yelp review.

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

That is my Yelp review.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/vista-brake-...pply-inc-vista

The alignment fellow is very professional and thorough.

He will ask you for what specific type of alignment, ie: roadracing, autocross, or daily driver.

The brake side of the business deals with all different types of vehicles.

I had my spouse's Subaru Outback seen there.

She had SS brakelines, rotors spun and new pads placed.

They are faster and cheaper than the dealership.

While you wait, go to Sarika Thai Kitchen, http://www.yelp.com/biz/sarika-thai-kitchen-vista.

I hope this helps,
Lboy06.
