Alignment Shop Recommendation

votrix · 5 January 2005

Well, I finally went with the TEIN RA upgrade. . .and all I have to say is WOW! The NSX handles great coming out the box, but the TEINs make the car even better. Only downside is the ride comfort. . .obviously.

Anyhow, I now need to get my car aligned. . . . so any recommendations for alignment shops near the Thousand Oaks/Westlake area???

Thanks in advance.

If you are into a little drive, go see Darren at West End Alignment Gardena/Torrance. He's excellent and aligns old school, no computers. Schedule an appointment and plan on staying for a least an hour and sitting in the car while he performs the alignment.
Good Luck!

I too recommend Darin over at West End Alignment. Just paid him a visit last week. It was well worth the drive, and the money. You will need to call ahead as he is by appointment only.

how much does he charge?

schuey1010 · 5 January 2005

$110 for a four wheel alignment. (On an NSX, others had said they have paid less for their "lesser" cars)

It sounds like Darren is the person who should do alignment. Does anyone have his contact info?

Yeah, Darren's your man. He aligned my S2k after I lowered it. I've never had any alignment issues since.

I just bought my NSX and plan on doing some suspension work on it. Thereafter, you can count on my paying a visit to West End.

I will only go to him.

I just got my alignment done at West End today. Overall, I have to agree with everyone else; Darin is the person to see regarding any alignment issues. Customer service was A+++.

Thanks PRIME!!!!

So how does he align without computer? does he do it like the race car by measuring lines around the car?

OH! I'd sure like to attend...

BTW Darin and Chris over at West End did an awesome job, were very friendly, and were completely thorough. I too agree with everyone else on the forum and recommend their work.

Mayby a Hooter's run from OC to W. Covina to Ontario, that should be interesting, not much fun on driving, but Hooter's should make up some points.
