West End Alignment

Had the best experience today at West End Alignment, Gardena, CA.

Thanks for the suggestion Milt.

Man, is it important to have a knowledgeable person do this. Darin knows what he's doing, great guy and very reasonable. Alignment & corner balance, $325, worked on the car about 3 hours and shared alot of knowledge with me.
My last alignment was done by a recommended shop. I tore through new tires, Darin pointed out my car was aligned totally for track specs. I don't have any track time yet, just street, watch out. The last shop didn't even ask about my driving.

If you're in SoCal, Darin's your man.

I totally agree with you. Darin does awesome work. I will revisit him toward the end of year for an updated alignment and c/b.

Ditto on the Darin experience.

He sat down w/ me for an hour and we talked about my 930, my driving, what I wanted out of the setup and BOOM it was perfect (and in time for my track day).

One thing I screwed up on though, I waited too long to get the specs on the set up that he did on my car. If you want that info, get it from him when he is done. That way, you can have a history on what was done and how it felt on the track (or street) for your own log or notebook on your car.

You know what? My dyslexia kicked in, it was $235.00.

Thumbs up

Darin is great. He talks with you and finds out what kind of driving you mostly do. Had the SC aligned and corner balanced a couple of years ago by him.
