Default SoCal: west end alignment?

What`s the story with these guys? I think Yosh and Fais use their services. I heard they kick booty, but would like to know how much they charge, services they offer, etc.

TIA,
Ryan

Just made an appointment (5/18) for complete alignment and corner balance. He seemed to be a very nice guy. Can't wait to get my car dialed in.

Default Pricing...

For just a front end alignment it's $35. From I can remember it's $120 or so for corner weighing.

The man is very good. He corner balances for many racers. I have seen exotic and rare cars at his shop. He's cool. Hell, he corner balanced my car and we had dinner afterwards.

Cliff's Notes: Excellent technician, and a great guy.

I don't think I'll be good enough to feel the difference. I guess I just have money burning in my pockets.

Hope to see you at the next practice. I'll even let you try my car.

The real reason for alignment:
I gots to keep infront of my co-worker. He has a fixed up 99 GT and he finally got rid of his crappy old original tires (Gatorbacks) for some Azenis. Definitely he'll be faster now.

Darrin is the man! He did the alignment and corner balancing on my ITR when he worked at Johnson's Alignment. Very cool guy and he will hook j00 up!
