Alignment shop in LA or Orange County Area?

Just got done upgrading my brakes, springs, and struts. Can someone recommend a reputable alignment shop that does 4 wheel alignment and corner balance in the Los Angeles or Orange County area? Thanks!!!

Regards,

Here are a couple of good ones:
Westend Alignment in Gardena-Darrin; or
Johnson's Alignment in Torrance-Steve Alarcon.
Both knowledgable and respected.

Thanks Max, would it be too much to ask for a address or a number for Johnson's Alignment? I found 2 Johnsons Alignment in Torrance. One of them is JOHNSONS ALIGNMENT SERVICE on VAN NESS AVE and the other is JOHNSON WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE on HAWTHORNE BLVD. I don't know which one you are referring to. Thanks!

Regards,

I have to second Darin at Westend Alignment. Most bang for the buck I've ever spent on my car, and I've spent a lot lately.

Ryan, if you don't mind, what was the cost of the alignment and corner balance at Westend? Thanks!

Regards,

I also had my alignment done at Westend. Darrin knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend Westend.

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier Peter.

I really depends on how much work he needs to do. I bring my car to him as close to set up as I can get in the garage because I have to drive 1.5 hours to get there. So for me, he only had to adjust things to get it where I want it, charges me about $200.

If the suspension hasn't been touched in a real long time, is way out of wack, or you are having him do other thing besides the c/b alignment it, of course, will be a little more not counting parts.

In my opinion, he is the best and one of the cheapest, you will be happy.

Ryan, thank you for the reply. Darrin quoted me $220 for the 4 wheel Alignment & corner balance. The price is the cheapest around and Darrin does seem to know about P-Cars. He told me the entire process will take approx. 3 hours to complete.

Again, thanks for the recommendation.

Regards,
