Recommendations for alignment in Socal

Can anyone recommend a good alignment shop in Socal who can do camber adjustments on aftermarket rear LCA's? My go to shop might not be able to accomodate me on the day that I'm available, so I'd like to see what are my other options. I would prefer it to be somewhat local. I'm in Chino Hills 91709. Thanks

Thanks! Yes, I've heard nothing but good things about Evasive. I also hear they are really busy and hard to get a last minute appt. I'll give them a call. Looking to get it done on Wednesday the 8th. Any other recommendations from anyone in case I can't get an appt with Evasive?

West End Alignment in Gardena is, hands down, the best alignment shop in SoCal. That's ALL they do.

I second West End Alignment. Not saying that Evasive isn't good. Darren and Chris at West End are however the best at what they do.

Give us a call : ) 626-336-3400 We are a lot closer then West End. I commute from Chino Hills every day to work. We have the fastest FR-S and BRZ to date running at Button Willow and Pikes Peak all of them running Alignments done by us.

Gave you guys a call this morning, but as expected, you guys are completely booked for that day . Only reason i'm in such a rush is because i'm getting rear LCA's installed Wednesday morning, and my schedule will be packed for the next 3 weeks or so. Not sure how I feel about running unaligned for that long on newly installed aftermarket LCA's = /.

West End is the best... if you plan your appointment out a month in advance.
That's the only drawback.

Honestly? Use tape measure, get it as close to stock length as possible, leave it. 3 weeks isn't going to do anything for you unless you are doing 5000 miles in those 3 weeks.

I know. I have been going to them for many years. Darrin used to work on my cars when he was working for another place before he started his own shop. Chris and Darrin are very genuine and extremely good at what they do. I will be sure to say hello for you Mike. I actually live less than a mile from their shop.
