So Cal Owners - Need recommendation

Who do you guys recommend for a front end alignment other than the dealer, or go ahead and use dealer?



Thanks!

I go so far as to get my tires over at Caliber/Anaheim Hills. He will meet the price for me from Just Tires and he throws in the alignment for like $ 50.00

Just dont feel safe letting some kid at the Big O fool with my SL.

Hopefully you don't have Distronics. Mine does and my dealer service advisor says alignment tied to Distronic system. Quoted about $600+ for alignment...

Looks like the dealer is my best option and I don't have distronic, so will be cheaper than $600!

Another reason I am happy I dont have all the bells and whistles.
$ 600.00 alignments. WTF
I hardly ever use my Cruise better yet needing Distronic.
