Please recommend an alignment check shop in socal LA (free would be nice)

nukezero · 12-18-2009, 03:30 PM

I like to know if anyone can recommend a place in socal, the valley, for an alignment check.

A shop that knows and works on Bimmers would be nice.

Thanks.

West end Alignment in Gardena.

okay i did some searching and came up west end alignment in gardena and or King's tire in el monte.

the problem is west end seems to be busy, so i won't go theer. i'm impatient.

any other top notch rec's beside king's? They want $89 bux.
anywhere around 626 valley, 562, is also fine

how about somebody or some shop that does "FREE" checks. i want to check first, and see which is screwed up before i fix it. and then maybe take it to a second shop to compare the values. that way i know if i'm being BS'd or not.

big o tires says they do free checks..but..u know..thats big o tires.

you want someone to check your alignment for free, so that you can go out and shop around for the best price afterward? probably not going to happen man.

Yup. Daren knows his stuff. There's a reason why you need to make an appointment weeks in advance...quality work.

Your best bet would be the dealership explain to them you think your alignment is out of spec etc.. and see if they check it out for you

You should be able to feel when you are driving if your alignment is bad...

u drive a bmw, not a scion tc. gotta realize u're driving an upper echelon vehicle, not a beater. so refrain from askin for something free that will rarely ever be free

Would West End remove the pins restricting camber adjustment of the front suspension?
