Default Alignment Shop in So Cal / 310 / 562

I'm looking for a reputable alignment shop in the 310 / 562 areas of So Cal. I searched in the archives, but I couldn't find anything pertaining to alignment shops in my area. I'm sure any shop that does alignments can do it, but I'd like to take my car to a shop that has experience with camber kits....a shop that has a vast knowledge of lowered cars.

Please recommend. Thanks.

west end is more geared towards track cars in terms of pricing IMO - while they are the best bear allignment also does a great job for alot less

how much does bear charge?
A 4 wheel alignment including front camber adjustment was $85 at West End.

Reasons why I liked my experience at west end:

1) I got to choose my own alignment settings, and he helped me choose what was best for my situation.

2) His attention to detail was amazing, he wanted ME to be happy with everything

3) He spent easily 1/2 an hour simply adjusting my tie rods so that my steering wheel was straight and the way I wanted it. He would adjust it, bring the car down off the lift then let me drive it and then make adjustments again. We had to do that at least 3 times till I was happy, and this wasn't a problem for him.

4) He aligns the car with you actually sitting IN the car.

Hit up RPD Automotive in Huntington Beach. They charge 65-90 with six month warranty. Ask for Rick (714) 903-8993

I'm due for an alignment on my car. Track specs needed.

westend alignment
18008 s vermont ave
gardena, ca
310/808-9233
ask for darin (by appt only)

Bear Alignment on Garvey & New Ave in San Gabriel.

70-100 bucks for all 4 wheels sounds about right. Do they do corner balancing too?

haha the aligning with you sitting in the car blew my mind. on my buddies car(also aligned there) it was tuned into him driving. it drove like a dream when he was in it alone, or his skinny GF but when i got in the car it would rub(220lbs). mainly cause he told darren that he usally 90 percent of the time drives alone.
