In OC there are a couple place I like.

Clarks in Lake Forest:

Best Value Tire in HB

Outside of OC there's always West End Alignment

18008 S Vermont Ave, Gardena, CA
(310) 808-9233

Darin at West End is known to be one of the best in Honda performance alignments

nonsense, does West End do Audi? More specifically, can they adjust the bump steer/dynamic toe? Car has stock springs and Bilstein HD shocks, but camber is still out of spec, and I think toe was set incorrectly by previous alignment shop; I'd like it closer to 0. Extreme inner edge is getting worn rather fast, not because of camber.

I up here in Central Cali, the nearest 'good' alignment shop I know of is Custom Alignment in Mountain View.
