Definitely agree. Took the S13 and S14 to Fontana Nissan for alignments. Chris Heimburg (tech at Nissan Raceshop) is the only guy who touches our cars, and for good reason. He's the only tech qualified to work on GTR suspensions, so his work is stellar and he's also a very cool guy; very knowledgeable with all Nissans and highly recommended.

It's a plus that they're also the only Nissan Dealership in SoCal with an in-ground rack.

I've heard that they do a grate job there but haven't had the chance to check them out. Did you personally get your alignment there?

Cool, thanks for the review, and for who posted it originally.If Evasive doesn't work for me, I will get my s13 aligned there.

Also, I've been to:

Montebello Tire Pros
830 West Whittier Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640

When I called the guy who answered was friendly and when I actually showed up the manager, was a cool guy who explained everything. I didn't get my alignment that day because it was late, and now I have to wait till I can fix my engine.

Stop brake shop is probably the best, Alignment gets done to your liking! there is no poilicy they follow or any crap like that. you want factory done! you want your own specs done! you want what they think is good done!

I tried to get lifetime alignment at my local firestone. They said the would charge me $195 and it was going to take 2 hours and it wasn't going to be lifetime. There excuse was that I was too low.

Took the '97 240 and '05 Titan to Precision Alignment and Brake. $90 for a 4 wheel on the car and $70 for the truck. My wife is taking the '93 vert today and the quote was $50.

Car feels good. They didn't ask me if I wanted anything special, just took the car and did it. Cusco parts / Jic Coils. I'm low but with the stock bumper at the moment and no prob getting on the rack. (he said a body kit might not make it) ...I just wanted the tires to last so I didn't mind not chatting about some special setting for the alignment.

The truck... I'm not so sure about. Tracks straight enough. Have about 8" of lift and my LCA bushings may be going so I wont hold anything against them yet.

These guys are on 27860 Del Rio Rd (off of Jefferson ) in Temecula.

Great customer service! Knowledgeable, Perfectionist, and all around great experience.

My car had come in with a really bad alignment problem that I had tried fixing at my usual spot by just doing the front alignment. Long story but I left unhappy from the alignment shop.

I then went to Dan's shop and Chris explained I need to a full alignment. I let them do thier thing and the car feels great! I enjoy driving my car again.

Rodriguez Auto Repair
1950 4 Wheel Ct, Norco, CA
(951) 736-6810

I take my car here for alignment (and some minor repairs if I don't have the time/tools) they're lowered car friendly and have reasonable prices. Took it in for a wheel bearing and alignment, and a tie rod end. $300 (5 lug hub assembly, tie rod end + alignment + labor) Not bad if you ask me considering the price of a 5 lug hub assembly by itself. With the work and alignment the car handles solid and sits great. Also informed me of wear in my rear bushings that needs to be addressed in the next few months. Now that I no longer work nights I'll be doing most of my own work, but if I don't have the time/tools, I'll take it here. It's quality service that I would recommend.

Also, Norco Motorsports/Norco Automotive right around the corner (same building) is custom car friendly (kinda slammed friendly, call ahead they only have 1 lift that does my car, they don't do alignment), and have good prices. Darryl is a super cool dude and has done some very solid work for my SR. They know what they're doing. Its off the 15 freeway and 2nd street exit, Norco. Its great because not many places in my part of the IE that does solid work on a fair price. I've seen some nice ass cars in both shops on my visits there.

There's also a gun store, and a bar in the same complex.
