Hi, I am looking for a great place to get my 4 series aligned after I install coilovers. I want a shop that is very meticulous and will take care of my car. I am willing to pay more for a top notch shop. Ideal location would be south orange county area.

Thank you.

I live in OC too but I only go to platte form AG or westend for alignments.

I think EAS(Anaheim) do alignments as well.

Thank you. I have heard great things about West End. Bit of a haul though.

I will be at EAS to install my coilovers. Unfortunately they only offer race alignment for $250, not street alignment.

Race alignment meaning as 0 toes? I personally like the way it is. No self adjustment, meaning I am in control .

Actually I have no idea what that means other than it costs $250 which of course I am not paying for an alignment.

Try Accure alignment- +1 (714) 538-1916.

I think they quoted you with corner balancing. That's pretty good pricing if it includes corner balancing and alignment. Most shops charge around $280-350 for that.

Discount tire in Lake Forest is legit. Multiple bimmers. Nothing crazy just a good job and nice pricing.

TC Auto Repair in Temple City
Platinum VIP in irwindale

Thanks guys for the recommendations. All of these are pretty far north except for Discount Tire in Lake Forest which I cannot believe will not F up my car. I've never had good luck with these chain tire stores. They always do something to damage my car. I cant believe there is not top notch alignment shops in south OC.

Did some more research and MRF Engineering and Lang Racing Development both seem to get high marks. Anyone familiar with either of these shops?

I had my bimmertech back up camera installed at MRF. Malek owns the place and was the only person there when I had it installed. He did a good job and haven't had any trouble with the camera yet *knocks on wood* but his price is a bit high.

I had my last alignment done at The Auto Shop in the Los Olivos Shopping Center in Irvine. They did a good job even though they specialize in Japanese cars.

I decided on Lang Racing Development for my alignment. I will let everyone know how it goes.

The best alignment in socal is West End. Chris & Darren are great and very knowledgable.

I second Platte Forme AG. Temple City Auto is fine too.

Thanks guys. I just wish these great alignment shops are closer to me. I just need a standard street alignment. Hopefully Lang Racing will take care of my car.

Just an update after I got my alignment done at Lang Racing Development. Nothing dramatic to report other than they didnt damage my car which is all I wanted. The owner, Andrew is a cool guy. The shop is in what looks like used to be a warehouse space behind some electronics company. Not the cleanest or most organized looking shop but they did the job. I am sure if I needed to do some race inspired repair or setup Andrew and his guys would know what to do. I guess I give this shop an average recommendation. They didnt do anything that blew me away but nor did they do anything that pissed me off either. To be fair, all I did was an alignment.

What are people paying for avg alignment?

[tboooe]

Everywhere I called quoted $125-150. That being said I didnt call places like Discount Tire which I believe is around $70.
