Hiro does a great job, but the price is a tad bit high...

It's worth it IMO.

They do carry some higher end wheels which are definitely pricey but their 4-wheel alignment is less than $79 or $89. I've heard good things about Hiro's but $120 is too much especially considering front camber is non-adjustable with OEM suspension components.

Temple City Auto gives Driver member smokin' deals!!! Its not in OC, but the time and attention + price makes it worth-while (to me)... they just installed my D-specs, A-arms and didn’t alignment for incredible good price!

Henry is very understanding of finicky customers wants/needs... he spent the time to dial in to specs I requested even though it took little longer than what someone else may have wanted - the amazing part is he didn’t charge for the additional time he took... I am going back to get the caster dialed in a bit.

If you don’t mind driving a bit outside OC, I'd give these guys a shot.

Having that been said, Darrin at West End is very good (but again, that outside of OC in Gardena)... and I've heard real good things about Hiros - those two places are pricey - but most people think they are about the best.

what do you mean camber included?

the alignment is adjusting camber and toe to OEM spec or close to it
do you have front and back camber kits installed on your car already?

you might wanna get some rear camber kit before alignment so you dont have to go back to get it aligned again.

SPC is a good kit. affordable and does the job! im using it for my rear and my front im using spl's

If you wanna buy a set try calling these guys

Hey bro, can I ask what was the break-down cost of the labor costs at Temple City Auto?

I'm not sure... I can tell you the price per hour for my last install would equate to $21 per hr but they worked a really good deal for me and I've used them before... plus I bought my Volks form them (great deal there too btw)... They are very customer service oriented!

I don't want to quote prices for them - but I can tell you if you tell them you are a forum member they will work a killer deal for you. They do much more than just alignments too.
