Im taking my truck to RPM Garage in Monrovia friday morning. check out @ sponsored by wifey on instagram i think hes the alignment tech there. Nothing but lifted and offroad trucks they work on and they seem to be very precise.

 

I take mine to RPM as they know how to get alignment specs the way you want. If OP doesnt mind driving to Monrovia, then I would recommend RPM as my choice for alignment shop.

 

I don't mind driving up there, I'll reach out to them thanks guys.

 

Unsure if you are still looking for an alignment shop, however, one of the most renown shops (and I am not throwing those words around loosely for they are known in almost every circle of the performance automotive industry) for alignments in SoCal (Gardena) is West End Alignment (owned and run by father & son, Darren & Chris Nishimura).

Their specialties are alignments for sports and race cars, as well as professional installation & service for suspension and brake components. Aside from their technical expertise and knowledge, they are willing to discuss, in depth, anything related to the job which is always a major plus, and usually ask questions that allow them to understand exactly what it is you want so as to specifically tailor the work to your needs. Also, they tend to work on one car at a time and will block out a time frame so as to have complete focus on you and your machine which is crucial.

I have never taken an off-road vehicle there (only sports cars), and am unsure if they would work on one, however, it is absolutely worth a shot if they do.

A heads up though, Darren (who opened the shop in the year 2000, yet has been working professionally with alignments since the early '90's) can be quite direct, serious and at times somewhat curt over the phone, especially if he does not know you... DO NOT LET THIS DISSUADE YOU, for when you actually come in for your appointment, he will be quite chill and involved.

Everyone I know (me included) who has taken their vehicles to West End have had nothing but impeccable experiences when it comes to the work completed.

Note: They do not install tires and so one would have to get that taken care of prior to going in for a job (preferably somewhere close by to them), if that is part of the work to be done.

Either way, best of luck with the truck.

I only go to Bear Alignment in Corona. They are old school and do everything with gauges and measurements. Been going there for 6 years. Best part is the alignments are only $50.00 and come with a 6 month warranty.

I recommend making an appointment.

I've been going here for years. Lifts, wheel spacers, any suspension mods really, don't phase these guys. They know their shit. This ain't firestone/goodyear.

 

thanks guys

 

I went there a few months ago and I have to say I wasn't impressed...well I was initially with their old school know-how and technique, and they were real nice guys but my truck still pulled something awful on the freeway and the wheel was crooked afterward. I ended up taking it to a Firestone in the San Fernando Valley that was recommended on here as being good with lifted trucks, and they did a good job with it.

I'd be up for giving Bear another try as I do hear nothing but great things from others that go there. They made it better on the street but on the freeway the same issues were still there, somehow Firestone was able to do a better job which really surprised me since I usually get shit alignments from the Firestone local to me.

 

Also I got a good alignment done by RPM Garage in Monrovia (next to Arcadia). Small offroad shop run by a few Toyota enthusiasts

 

That sucks to hear of your bad experience. Which one did you go to? I've only been to the one on Amar in la puente.

 

RPM Garage in Monrovia...worth the drive for sure. Al is literally OCD with his alignments...I watch him in person lol. They also did my Icon Stage 3 and I'm super happy with the work...great shop.

 

I've heard nothing but good things from RPM Garage I'll definitely give them a call once I'm back from my trip thanks guys

 

RPM garage was the best. Got my alignment done there, as well as, had them adjust preload on my Kings before hand. Definitely going back if I ever need any work done.

 

I am in Orange County and went to RPM garage based on the recommendations from here. Al was awesome and did a great job. I've had alignments done at other shops but never this thorough. He set everything to the exact specs I wanted and double checked the measurements before he finished.

 

I live just up the street from them, had an alignment done there last year and they did a great job. They're big time Toyota 4x4 enthusiasts, I like being close by in case I need them lol
