san diego alignment shops?

[Tempo]

Does anyone know where I can go for an alignment in SD I went to 4 tire shops and they said my car was too low to even get on the rack , one shop mentioned pann auto but they're asking 120 I can get one from there but I just want to know if there is another place I can go to that will do the same for a lower price before I spend money I could have saved .

I don't know of one off hand but their should be alot of choices. Usually East/North County shops are cheaper. When I lived in SD I always drove to OC/LA for work if needed.

Clarence Brown. $120 is already a good price though.

Powered by Max does alignments. I dunno how much they charge tho.

Don't give Pann Auto your address. I heard of a lot of shady shit they have done to customers.

I've gone to Clarence Brown and it's not bad. Since you'll be waiting for the alignment, take a walk to Mitsuwa and eat ramen and look at the magazines to kill time.

if you are just looking for a regular spec alignment, tru line on bradley in el cajon has a pit instead of a rack. you don`t have to worry about your bumper getting messed up. i don`t know how much though.

I've brought my street car and track car to Trueline in Chula Vista and I haven't had issues with being too low since they work in a pit instead of rolling the car on a rack. They can work with aftermarket arms as well. You can even request custom alignments if you wish.

I wish I could commute regularly to LA , that'd be a treat .

Yeah they said 120 included with camber adjustment , jusst was unsure about other shop prices + I've heard bad things about pann auto so I was iffy.

lol I've picked up my coils / shift knob / ruca / toe links from there and I have not once asked them about alignment :picardfp:

Ill check them out if I don't go to PBM but If anything ill make pann auto my last resort lol.

Probably end up going there for regular alignments after I get my camber fixed since they're closer to me.

I'd give partshopmax a try. I'm Probably gonna have them do my alignment as well. I've been to trueline chula vista, el cajon and Kearny Mesa as well as the new and old Clarence brown. I was never 100% satisfied with any of them, maybe I'm just picky.

Clarence Brown Alignment Service - Kearny Mesa - San Diego, CA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/clarence-brown-alignment-service-san-diego)

$75 an hour to do the best alignment possible. If it takes more than 2 hours it is capped at $150 (mine took 4 hours to do and they only charged me $150). They will align it to YOUR specification if you know what you want. Unlike other places they do not charge more for aftermarket links, because it helps them do their job right. Seriously I had my old s14 aligned there, my toe was WAY fucked up in the rear. They fixed that shit, and cambered my wheels to the maximum possible and that shit was tsudaichi fitment! Seriously hands down the best place to go to. I recommend them above PSM because PSM isn't about alignments, yeah they can do it but alignments is ALL Clarance Brown does. Its olde school style too without lazers and on the ground.

Everyone I have recommended to that shop payed the same or less, and came back nothing but good things to say. I honestly believe it is stupid to take your car else where unless it is absolutely free. Especially if you have all aftermarket links like I did.
