Well, I would normally say Gardena Brake-Alignment, but some wise-guy will probably rip it to shreds without making an alternative suggestion. Then the original poster who forgot how large California is will probably reveal his location and complain that it's too long of a drive...

I also took it to Gardena Alignment after i got my springs installed and I had to take the car back there 4 times to get the steering straight. And when I recently got a new alignment, the guy said who ever did it last time did a really bad job. It has only been 4 months since I took it to Gardena Alignment and my front tires are bald because of the bad alignment there and I know that this car is known for inside tire wear, but not this bad. The new place i took to was computer alignment and the car is back to stock specs. I even got a printout. At Gardena Alignment, that guy was still just eyeballing it. Will never go there again. Thats just my experience with Gardena Alignment.

Any recco's out in Orange County?
I was at a local Discount Tires and watched one of the techs do an alignment on an Accord. I knew it was going to be bad when he walked up and down each bay looking for a wrench. When he finally found one, I watched as he proceeded...gawd, he'd adjust it, to green, then the moment it was tightened, it went back into the red. And he left it there!!!! Granted it may not be much, but if you have a sensitive car ferget it.
