Balance/Alignment & Exhaust Shops in SD

CravingBavaria · 10-17-2023, 08:24 PM

So I've had my E92 in San Diego just shy of 4 years and am still out here looking for shop recommendations

. Was hoping to find a good shop to give my car a correct balance/alignment since Discount Tire did a terrible job. Also looking for an exhaust guy that isn't scared to bend the muffler brackets that attach to the hangers so the tips on my brand new axleback aren't crooked...

TIA!

3 years ago MRF Engineering @ Lake Forest was recommended to me for alignment, so I ended up taking it up there. Great work!

Sorry I know it's not San Diego and a bit far but I didn't mind the drive to get it done right, plus I was driving through OC anyway. I had less than satisfactory alignments in San Diego for my M3 so I didn't want to chance it and mess around with it anymore.

I've used Alignment Plus in San Marcos for a few cars over the last several years, always had a good experience.

I’ve used Precision Alignment & Brake in Temecula for a few years now and am happy with the service. E92 M3, Escalade, S2000,

Hi, my M3 is serviced exclusively by SD Garage in Escondido. They have a top notch tire changing, balancing machine and laser alignment.

If you want to go crazy with alignment, I believe they might me the only Indy in SD that has the Manthey Racing alignment system.
