i can speak from first-hand experience that i have no doubt hugo takes care of his customers. he's very courteous and professional and will try to address his customers' needs. however, taking a vehicle w/ modified suspension to firestone, you can't expect that they would be able to do much aside from trying to get said alignment as close to factory specs as possible.
at least w/ cyrus (and many other custom alignment shops), i can give him input on my desired settings, and he'll get it as close as i wanted given what he's working with.
short version is, if any CL member just needs a lifetime alignment, by all means go to hugo @ firestone in walnut. however, for more specific needs (short of the "darin @ west end alignment" preferred treatment), cyrus @ jc auto house is the place to go.
now, as far as my parents' X5, i plan to take it back there to correct the mysterious pulling to the right. i paid for it, after all...

I can vouch for JC Autohaus as well. If you care about your Lexus...Cyrus is the person to go to. He does have a Hunter alignment machine and will be a lot more thorough with dialing in the right settings for your car. If you just want an average alignment where the alignment tech just puts it in the "green" take it to Firestone.
Some techs are okay with it and some aren't. I've been to Firestones where the techs do not want to do anything other than what the computer says. On the other hand, I've met some that are very flexible and will align my car to my spec. And by spec, I mean numbers that I've chosen and they better appear on my sheet by the time they're done.
I had to go to 5-6 different Firestones just to find one good one. Lifetime warranty is great!

It's usually the people that are running wider wheels and that are slammed that want custom specs.

Alignment shop in Corona, Rancho, Chino, Pomona area
Like title states. I'm looking for an alignment shop that caters to lowered cars with aftermarket camber kit adjustments.
Thanks

Anybody else, preferably I would like something more local, but if it's worth taking a little drive, to ensure alignment gets done properly, then I will
