any local alightment shops highly recommended?

i think i need an alignment.. my car when driving often times it tends to steer or swerve off line.. by itself. not sure if the toe angles are off or something. anyone know what the factory specs should be.. i got it done lately, but i remember my rear and front toes are 0.11-0.16 for front and rear. anyone know any good local shops in so cal. i heard of westend in glendale, but it's a bit far.. i was wondering if anyone knows any place closer?

thanks.

-Alex

anyone knows what causes cars to drift to the left or the right? feels like the car has no control whatsoever.. i've gotten the alignment done with superautobacs recently, but the car seems to move around when driving in the straight line over bumps or even smooth roads

i recommend based on where you live

Darren @ westend alignment (make an appointment its between 100-150$ depending on just alignment or corner balance as well)

Marco @ song's alignment in hawthorne - 60$ he will do custom settings and check your car for free.

Alex Pfeffer @ G-dimension.com in Hacienda heights - 150-200$ for full alignment and corner balancing

I do $50 alignments for g35driver members. Full alignment, front and rear toe, plus rear camber. I use a top of the line Hunter alignment rack. I will even give you a before and after printout so you know how your car is after I am done. If you guys want it done right by someone who knows what they are doing, call me and schedule an appointment.
