Default Official SD alignment shops.

who out there got a list or knows what shops wont reject us "too low" guys?

also who is willing to do w/e alignment you wish? im not looking for spec alignment.

i wish 0 toe all around and camber match from side to side.

also, i dont mind taking out my front bumper and side skirts on the spot to get on the ramp cause thats cake.

I've heard good things about H & A in Miramar, and suspension plus (location in SD?). Clarence Brown will try and do what you want. Since toe and camber adjustments affect each other, you may not be able to get exactly what you want.

If you go to a place with ramps, bring some 2x4's. I keep a pair in my trunk.

Personally, I bring my SC to Express Tire in PQ. I have the Lifetime alignment package.


Express Tire/Goodyear
13181 Black Mountain Rd
San Diego, CA 92129
(858) 538-2333

They've been able to get my car on the rack. So I'm assuming they have wood ramps for lowered cars

Is the True Line in El Cajon better than the shop around LKM? I got noticeable inner tire wear after going to the shop by LKM, and my car wasn't even very low.

I took the pics above after getting my alignment done at the True Line on 5680 Kearny Villa Road. After I replaced my tires, I started going to Clarence Brown. I get some minor inner wear, but nothing horrible.
