Any alignment shop worth going to in SoCal?

I havent had any luck finding a shop. Any recommendations for the LA/San Fernando Valley area? Any thoughts on TRE Motorsports? Thanks!

yup, i guess you have to pay to play They quoted me no more than $160 which to me sounds more realistic.
GMG sounds like a *****en place for someone who tracks his/her car. My car will only see the parking lot of a track

Darren at Westend Alignment in Gardena off of Vermont Ave is one of the most reputable guys around. He pretty much only does corner balancing and alignment.

Paying significantly more than $350 for corner balance and alignment is just a ripoff.

Yup, i took my 993 to Darren and was very happy with the result. Did he move from torrance? I thought he was in Torrance.

+1 for Steve Alcron at Johnson's. A bit old school, but they nail it.
