hiro's in costa mesa,
my old car was slammed, and they handle slammed cars all the time
they also do alignment to your specs, not factory if you don't want it to...

i've been to both, they're both awesome, darin is the man at west end, he's a wee bit far for me cuz i'm lazy, hiro is cool too, he weekend races at wsir occasionally, and his shop as walking distance to mitsuwa, that way you can shop/grub/read jdm mags while car is being done...

+1 for Hiro's, Koji and the crew there are great, and do the alignment by hand.

Hiro's is good, but it's $120. Really steep.

they dont use a machine so it takes longer, price they charge per hour of labor is fair, plus they are damn good at what they do and take great care of the car. Worth it for me

yeah, they're not cheap (both west end and hiro's) but you get to specify the settings YOU want, and they can work on slammed cars,

if you want generic factory settings, it is cheaper to go just about anywhere else...

+1 for Darin @ West End - he did my last alignment, very meticulous which is good!... however I might try Hiro’s when I get my wheels - I've heard good things about them for a long time too...
