I wasn't going to respond to this thread, but thought I should share my experience with everyone who reads this thread.
Back in May of 2006, I took my NSX to AutoWave in Huntington Beach (on recommendation) to resolve a number of issues I had with the car.
One issue concerned the alignment of the car. A friend, also an NSX and other exotic car owner, road tested my car and felt that it pitched somewhat when going over dips in the road at freeway speeds. I was in the car but did not detect this abnormality. Ironically, I had just had the car aligned by Darin at West End.
AutoWave advised I have it sent to EMI Racing, also in Huntington Beach, to check it out. According to EMI Racing, the front end was a quarter inch off center; that they would have to correct that before doing the alignment. When I picked up the car from AutoWave in July of 2006, I saw that EMI had charged me $1,000.00... that's right... $1,000.00.
Like a fool, I paid my bill and went my merry way.
The car never seemed to handle nearly as well as it did before EMI got their hands on it. In fact, my NSX handled like sh.. It was no longer fun driving it. Finally, I took the car back to Darin last October. Darin restrained himself when he saw what EMI had done. Darin worked on it for over three hours and corrected the problem, and he only charged me $250.00... that included the alignment and four-corner balancing.
Moral of this story. When you find someone like Darin, don't take it to anybody else. This was a costly lesson. Again, horay for DARIN OF WEST END ALIGNMENT.:smile:
