The last time my S2K was there was 11/04. I told Darin and Chris that they were almost like celebrities when alignment in Socal was brought up on most auto websites. They both seemed very pleased and suprised at the same time. They really do awesome work!


Thank God for West End Alignment.

Thanks to Darrin. I was one of the S2000s he worked on today also.

He not only is the best, he's a good guy too.

He takes roughly an hour and a half, give or take. He doesn't use the hunter laser machines so he has bars and whatnot? for measurement. Fun guy to talk to while you're sitting in the car waiting for him to finish too. $90 for a 4 wheel alignment. Cash or check only.

No laser?
$90 seems cheap.

Darin's a good guy, and does a great job!

Speaking from experience - do not go there on a hot day! I was sitting in the car on a hot summer day during the alignment, and passed out due to the combo of being tired/heat - woke up with a sore/sweaty neck . . . but well worth it!

We were talking about his huge gambling loss in Vegas this past New Years
