Alignment shop in West Covina?

[TAMTANIUM]

I took my car to 2 alignment shops around my area. One of them is the Firestone shop on Glendora and Amar..want to charge me $90 to do the alignment. I only have coilovers and tension rod on the front. So for $90 is that a good deal for a full adjustment setup? or should I just go to another shop?

Thanks

no thats a pretty decent price actually.
for a 'custom' alignment
any good shop (like alex phiefer/west end/hiro's auto) would charge same/more

so go for it
but i wouldnt go to a firestone, they are retards
find a local guy, small business, privately owned.

If you don't mind doing alittle driving to Gardena I would got to WestEnd alignment. Talk to Darin his # is (310) 808-9233 it is $90 for the alignment and think $130 with corner weight balance. Just had my other car done call them before you go he is really busy. Well worth the $90 and takes about 50 min.

Go here:

JC Auto House
9237 Lower Azusa Rd, Unit O
Temple City, CA 91780
626-287-7781

Ask for Cyrus for alignment (tell him referred by A Spec), we have him do all of our stuff, and he can do SLAMMED cars no problem.

Very meticulous, and he does mount & balance. Honest guy, won't do anything unless necessary, and always explains why and what he had to do.

Thanks for all the advice guys. How much am I expecting to pay at JC auto house Logan?

Go to west end alignment. He charged me 100 bucks. He did it to my specs and all. He's a very cool guy and he will not finish working until you're satisified. But if you're just going for OEM spec alignment, go anywhere; it's all buy computers. Darin does it all by hand -skills.

Also, just fyi..... Firestone won't do alignments on lowered suspension. All they do is restore factory settings. At least the Firestones over here are that way. And yeah they suck.

$80 bucks probably

I just like him cause I trust his work, I just leave my car there and come pick it up after work. He stays open late for us etc etc.

Some stuff costs more than other places (like mounting & balancing) but I'd rather be safe than sorry. You might save a couple bucks here and there but might cost you in the end. I have places where I can get $5 M&B but that comes with $5 service, weak.

Darin @ West End is cool, I used to go to him when I lived out in that area, but JC is right by our office.

Bear Frame is actually a really good place. They do a lot of lowered cars since they have alignment pits, sorta like the chain oil change places (Jiffy Lube, etc.) do.
