Question Time for 4-wheel alignment and transmission service

Anyone has a recommenation for a reputable serive other than dealler in Los Angeles area near Brea or Rowlandheight ?
(It is part of the 15K service schedule)

I am thinking of tightening up the steering wheel feel to give it as firm as possible if I go to dealer for the serive above.

How much do you think these serivce will cost me
in dealer place and the Lexus cerified garage ?

Here's the spec for the alignment

GS4 OEM

Camber
LF -0.3
RF -0.3
LR -0.8
RR -0.8

Caster
LF 7.6d
RF 7.6d

Toe
LF 0.10d
RF 0.10d
LR 0.05d
RR 0.05d

Frt Total Toe 0.15d
Rr Total Toe 0.15d

I purposely adjusted the front toe to 0.00 (still within the spec). The car seems to be travelling more stable at high speed.

The only way to get a firm steering feel is to get a L-tuned Steering ECU.

I'm not living at LA so I can't help you much about finding a reputable shop. Here in vancouver, an reputable alignment shop cost about $40 CAD do to an alignment job.
