Corner Balance and Alignment HELP

Does anyone know of a good corner balance and alignment shop in the Los Angeles ( the valley ) area? I am close to WERKS II in Burbank and TRE in North Hollywood. Unfortunately Dave does not do this work and Galen (WERKS II) may not have the time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Steve Alarcon is one of the absolute best. (Johnsons Alignment, Torrance).
Steve is famous for his suspension/alignment work.

Not sure where he is in relation to you, but it would probably be worth it no matter what.

Yeah, Steve did my originall coner balance and alignment, but just did not want to have to drive to Torrance. about 30 minute drive. Not that far but far enough to make me not want to go there. But you are right he is one of the best if not the best.

Any other Ideas?

I agree with Vintage: Torrance is a bear to get to from anywhere north of LAX. It'd be great if someone knew of a person in the San Fernando Valley or Hollywood.

What did you guys pay for a full corner balance and 4 wheel alignment? I am here in Detroit and want a ball park figure to go from.
I have a 79 911SC that has been lowered previously and am in the process of adding Sway away adjustable spring plates to make the rear adjustment alot easier and faster. Should reduce the manual hours quite a bit for this job.

Thumbs up Go with Alercon

Vintage, You want to do this right and do it right the first time....go with the best and you'll be -real- glad you did....no matter what inconvienence you incur getting to Steve. I was torn b'tween Steve Alercon / Johnson alignment and Jae Lee / Mirage Int'l.

I just went thru all this and it was a toss up for me as far as who to go to, I decided to go all the way to San Diego (I live in Hunt. Bch.) to have Mirage Int'l do the corner balence & alignment. I liked the fact that Jae goes to alot of the AX and Track events I do and he watches me drive.

Just my .02

cheers!!

Alex Wong! Alex Wong!

I believe that Pelican 'recommends' Alex Wong. He's awesome.



Wayne,

If this is not correct, based on my recollection, my apologies and you may delete my post.
