Accurate Alignment, in Orange CA.
Not so close maybe, but very good reputation.

Try Mark Harper at Famous Motorsports on Deering in Canoga Park. Mark did a lot of alignment work on my C6 Z06 and he's been working on my Viper for the last year. Mark is a really smart and sharp guy. Another choice is always Donny Yorke at Rydell.

Thank you all for the help, I guess I'm going to Rydell Chevy, & to my surprise they are the cheapest among all the shops I called.

Mark Harper was the lead tech at Valley Pacific until he left a couple of years ago to join Famous Motorsports. Recently VP sold and there is a whole new crew there, untested and unknown. So go with either Mark at Famous or Donny at Rydell. Both good guys.

Don't think Donny York does alignments. Someone else was trained. Donny works on mechanical problems, etc. Call Rydell and check out if Donny does alignments. He didn't a few months ago

I took my '13 GS vert in to David Joslyn at Rydell and asked to have Donny do an alignment. David told me that Donny does not do them but that I would be happy with Julio's work. Discount Tire had left me with an off-center steering wheel, yet Julio was able to align to Pfadt street specs and align the wheel. All good. As usual, I left Rydell a happy customer.

Got the alignment done last week at Rydell, the car tracks straight, and drives much better than before. Best part is it was cheaper than all the independent alignment shops around the SFV, and the customer service is top notch.

Has anyone had a track alignment done @ Rydell which included setting the rear castor?

Rydell quoted me either $80 or $90. Very inexpensive.

I am just not sure they do track alignments there.
