I just had my alignment done at my Saab dealership for the second time, and again, they did a shitty job. I'm going to go back and tell them to fix it, but after that, I don't want to go back to that dealership ever again.

So does anyone have recommendation for places to get their alignment done in the So Cal area? thanks.

I got this reference from what The Reverend once posted. Good place to go. I will get the S2K corner weighted there this week.

Hey integrate,

Prolene and I were just down at his shop. We told him that you would be calling. We didn't know you're real name, but I told him some guy with a Saab from Riverside would be calling.

Oh, thanks a lot Mark and Prolene. But I probably won't be calling them for a while since I'm going to have my Saab dealership redo the alignment, but if they screw up again, then off to West End Alignment.

I'm definitely going to West End Alignment next time.

cheers.

btw, what's the pricing?

PM Prolene for the pricing. He got a lot of work done there, and Darin is a real professional.

Hmmm,

Sounds like a good place to get an alignment done. Im planning on lowering my car within the next two months and am looking around for a good alignment place. Can this place service lowered cars? I know some alignment shops wont service lowered cars because they wont be able to go up on the racks. Well anywho, anyone that can answer this question please do. Also what specs will they align to? To stock specs or specs that make tire life last longer?

And hey mark, when did you become a moderator?

Chris,

I'm pretty sure they can service lowered cars. Darin actually will adjust the alignment to how you want to drive the car. If you do a lot of track time, he'll align it differently than if you were just going to drive it on the street. I think Prolene had it aligned both as a street and a track car. He prefers the track alignment though.

I became a moderator a few days ago. Shelly asked and I didn't mind contributing.
