Irvine/Orange County Alignment

320IN54 · 12-04-2017, 05:52 PM

My 335i is veering off to the right when I let go of the steering wheel so I believe that I need an alignment done. Can anybody recommend me to a place that does alignments as well as wheel balancing preferably in Irvine. I don't mind driving 10-20 minutes but the closer the better. A price for the job done would also be appreciated.

Check for the surrounding dealerships to see if they're running any alignment specials. Every time I've taken it somewhere else I've always had to waste time and return to have them correct the alignment (i.e. steering wheel not dead center).

I would specifically avoid european auto source's (EAS) "old-school" non-laser alignment though, my tires wore out unevenly after that as it was done with string and some sort of protractor. The inside of my two fronts were completely shot (down to wires showing) while the middle/outside was still good (5/32). I also noticed that the bumper tabs where my two kidney grills are located were completely destroyed.. I believe they mount their alignment apparatus on the kidney area so the individual who performed my alignment didn't take any care at all and just ripped out the grills.
