Best Alignment shop in SoCal????
I just got a new set of front tires from Nissan and an alignment job. However, given that this my 2nd set of replacement tires in 23K miles, I have little confidence in their ability to align the car properly (work was done by Sears; they scratched my rims, too!). Who should I take my car to get the very best alignment and advice? I'm in Long Beach, but will travel anywhere in LA/OC to get the best service.
Thanks!
Mika

Thanks for the recommendations.
Clarke's is close to work for me, so I just stopped by. I have an appointment on Monday for him to look at my car and offer me an opinion.

I had good luck years ago with Johnson's Alignment in Torrance (at the corner of Del Amo and ???). They do a lot of track cars and hi-performance street cars, and did alignments on my road racing Supra.
Stokes Tire Pros in Santa Monica is another good place for alignments.

I had my car done at west end alignment from darin.
If you only have stock spring alignment will be easy for him.
I have eibach pro kits and he was able to bring the rears within spec for both camber and toe. With the fronts, since camber is not adjustable he was only able to corect the toe. I have a -1.4 camber in the front... helps eliminate some of the understeer. But that's my preference...
He was able to get the car done in about 1.5 hrs... but I was the first guy there in the morning...
I definitely recommend him...
