Just got new tires on my AP2 installed like 2-3k miles ago, All 4 tires are wearing out on the inside more just like the stock tires were. I should have gotten an alignment right after but didnt know where to go. Anyone in the Bay Area, CA know of a good place to take it? I'm in the Pinole area, and would like something pretty close. People have recommended to take it to Milpitas but thats pretty far.
I took it to one place and they dont have an actual machine for alignments but he checked the toe, and its toeing out, he also checked the cambers and it was very slightly off but no biggie I guess.
He wanted to charge me $60 to fix the front and im assuming $60 for the back, but am not sure if that will fix my problem of wearing out on the inside more, since he doesnt have a machine and if I should take it to a person that will actually test everything involved in it.
The car is stock and it has the stock settings still but am not sure if I should request different settings for my alignment as I am not very knowledgeable in regards to this, I just know I have a problem and dont want to replace my tires again as I just did all 4.

is there a firestone in pinole? i take mine there and paid for the "lifetime alignment" for 139 i had a coupon. i've taken my car for alignment maybe 10 times at least in the past 6 years and i only paid 139 once. try the UK alignment spec but regular US specs are fine.

Ya I have a firestone here in Richmond, but dont trust them. I took my previous car there but it didnt seem like they actually did an alignment and actually wanted to do more work everytime.
