Default Alignment in orange county

Any recommendations for alignment in Orange County. Somehow the steering wheel is off center. Also, what do they charge?

Thanks in advance.

While I haven't dealt with them myself, I've heard the place next door to Orange County Corvettes is good. I can't remember the name of the place, but like I said, it's right next to OCC on Autocenter Drive off of Bake Pkwy.

i went to Will's Brake & Alignment in Santa Ana for my 01Z the day before i took it to Buttonwillow Raceway Park. he charged me $120 and that included lowering the car a bit via the ride height adjustments, both front & rear. the car handled great and tracked straight on the track.

i looked around before taking the car to Will's and OC is not an easy place to find good work for a reasonable price. other shops' prices were similar, if not more. Will said he had a good "old Bear machine" that he uses for alignments, and provided a printout of the alignment calibration.

i will take it there again, unless i can find a different shop to do the work competently and for less dough.

cheers,
dan
