Searching thread titles for "alignment shops" brings up LOTS of threads specifically regarding Southern California. Have you tried that?

Mine won't align the car outside of factory specifications.

This means that they will not align a lowered car without selling you (and charging to install) front and rear camber kits. They then charge more for the alignment itself because there are more things to adjust.

I just wanted my toe corrected, but the shop manager was too busy freaking out over my "massive camber". Back to my mom and pop shop that doesn't care what alignment settings I want, just that the machine says I'm getting what I'm paying for.

That makes sense. I hate that about dealerships.

two of my friends have the lifetime alignment from firestone and they said that firestone always gives them crap for having a lowered car and taking "advantage" of the lifetime alignment program. He goes there about once a month to get his done.
