Track alignment shops in OC?

ashutoshkotha · 02-06-2023, 11:24 AM

Only shop I know is 714 tires. Any other shops?

Always go to Chewerks -- Rob is the man and takes serious pride in his work. No one else will do an alignment on my car.

Second vote for Chewerks, Rob knows how to set up car. He also has his own E92 M3 that he tracks on occasion. His attention to detail is on point too and I like that he has you sit in the car while he does the alignment too so its aligned with your weight in the drivers seat. He's in La Habra, shares a building with Studio RSR.

Thank you peeps! Chewerks it is!

JBird.. · 02-07-2023, 10:56 PM

Let us know how it goes!

Also chiming in to say Rob at Chewerks is the only acceptable answer. Considering he used to a track on this platform, he knows it very well!

Ahhh. Got it! That's great! That is exactly what I need. Some guidance. I'm really looking forward to it. Headed there tomorrow.

Only? Lmao. Plenty of places with likely better equipment and far more experience. If you want an alignment from a world-class winning racing team, then go to GMG Racing in Santa. Ana. If you know the exact alignment spec you want and don't need guidance, there are other really good shops with equally good Hunter alignment machines like EMD Auto in Anaheim. And there are many other places in between that are very good.

I recommend Chewerks too!

Tommysalami · 02-10-2023, 12:46 PM

714 has always given me the exact specs I wanted and for a good price.

People also go to west end alignment. I believe SSR also has an alignment rack now. If you're in Orange they're probably the closest

West End is where I always used to go...Darin is a great guy.

ashutoshkotha · 02-10-2023, 01:39 PM

Thanks a ton for all the suggestions! I needed guidance and was not 100% sure on the specs I needed. Rob at Chewerkes was able to get me in at 7:30 AM today. It was very good experience and have a strong baseline to work from.

kevin @ eas · 02-10-2023, 01:43 PM

Rob is who we recommend. He really knows his stuff and super easy to work with.

How much is an alignment at Chewerks?

West end is around $150 last time I went.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
