Recommended Tire Balancing and Alignment shops??

E90330iS · 05-15-2007, 04:12 AM

Hello guys, I am about to mount my Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s on my 162s and I was wondering if you guys know any great tire shops that install/balance/align tires for a great price also! Either a tire store chain or a local tire shop in socal is fine! Please help, thanks!

Discount Tire has always been my choice... However, you won't be able to find any place to do the car's alignment other than a the dealership and a few independent BMW mechanics. Apparently, there is an extra variable in aligning our cars that cannot be done by the average mechanic shop. I went through this last year when I hit a road hazard in my car and had to get it realigned.

We are actually called America's Tire Company in L.A. and O.C. My store is only 5 minutes from West End Alignment. I also recommend Darin at West End. He's the best in So Cal.

West End Alignment in Gardena. My buddy just had his KWV2s installed yesterday afternoon, with alignment. My E46 was done there too.

I went to West End and recommend them. However I will list some alternatives for reference.

Shoreline Motoring in HB. They deal with lowered cars and a lot of German cars (BMW incl).. They have a expensive German Alignment machine. It'll be around $100. Both Shoreline and EF1 specialize in high-end/European cars.
