Jue Motors in Covina. Jimmy never closes and has a beautiful alignment rack. Actually, he does close but is usually open on Saturday, sometimes Sunday.

jimmy does own the coolest alignment rack i've ever seen.

Thanks, Ill give Jimmy a call.

Bud's Tire Pros in Moreno Valley is pretty good. I think they are in Riverside too.

Best of luck,

Bear and frame in Covina. They are on the corner of arrow hwy and Glendora ave. They set the car up the way you want it.

Tucker tire in Covina. However some people don't like their old school alignment style. I love it and the guys do what I want.

I've graduated to doing my own alignment.

Pacific Tire Motorsports in Redondo Beach always set it up how I want it. They are open till 7PM on Sat.
Just because they set it up they way I want it, doesnt mean I know what I'm doing either. But they do it anyways. ;)

Hmmm... before taking my car to Mako, I went there. They wouldn't touch the Miata, at least regarding changing camber, or caster. Would only adjust toe. But would do that to my specs.

Jeez George, I wish you'd piped up several months ago when I asked about alignment shops near Azusa!

I took a car to Tucker to get an alignment because it had a mild pull, and I knew I didn't have the equipment to measure thrust angle and I knew that was probably the problem. Tucker can't measure thrust angle either, because they use essentially the same methods I was using. I drove the car home with a much worse pull than before their adjustment. After some ideas suggested by Mako, I was able to do a rough steel-age measurement of the thrust angle and the pull nearly went away. The residual pull went away when I put on new tires.

I called 12 Big O 's and they all say they can only do factory specs.

Max gets exactly what he wants, ie. Factory knows best

Quick follow up. Got the car back together around noon Saturday. Referred to Discount tires in corona on w 6th st by some one I know. A young kid about 20 years old named Justin did my alignment. Let me sit in the car and did a great job. I highly recommend if you live near there.

How much was it?
