Henry,

Did you check the one on Westminster and Brookhurst? Ask for Trung or Tony. They are vietnamese and they are kool too. Maybe they can help you out.

I too got the Lifetime Alignment for $145. I jumped on it every since the first time I bought the car lol.

That's actually where I bought my lifetime alignment. The clerk was a nice dude and even mentioned something about his friend having a 2GS on air also.

The tech who did my car on the other hand.......
