Alignment shop recommendation?

Hey all,

Live in the OC/LA area..gonna switch to a square set up 235 all around on oem suspension. Any recommendations on shops? I know there is West end who is great but pricy..i only did them before since they installed my suspension and I went full coils and rear control arms along with new wheels.

New to BMW, didn't know if normal shops hassle you on certain things with BMW.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

You already mentioned West End, but I also go to Evasive Motorsports for alignment/corner balance.

evasive just does it all with their electronic machine right? laser?

i kind of like that west end does it all by hand without that big hunter laser machine.

No other shops like that closer? if not ill probably just set up with west end.

Yes, they do the alignment with a machine. They also allow you to sit in the car while they align it so driver weight is taken into account.

Machine or by hand makes no difference. It's all up to the person doing the alignment. Evasive has a lot of experience setting up their time attack shop cars as well as other race cars. Many with track records. Been going to them for almost a decade starting with my s2000.

It's been awhile since I've taken my car to do them just for an alignment. I remember it being very competitive though. $120???
