Question *GOOD* Alignment shop near Pendleton

So here's the deal...
just had my new bumper installed, and took a look at my front tires...
Either they drifted my car while it was in the shop, or I have serious camber/toe problems. My tires are down to the steel on inside and they don't even have 20,000 miles on them

Anyway, I need a good alignment shop between LA and San Diego.
I'm using stock rims and Dunlop 8090's.
Yes, I know they're discontinued and probably for good reason.

And P.s., is there any need for a camber kit/control arm brushings/ect ect to get a better alignment?

Thanks guys/girls,
-Kris

Hey Marine,

I felt my Dunlop 8090's were quite good for OEM, but they were pretty much ready for change at 20k miles as well (went with Toyo T1R's btw and very pleased).

Uneven wear such as you describe certainly demands a thorough alignment. As far as where to have it done, I'll leave that to the SoCal folks. As you'll be needing new sneakers, a good tire shop can also do the alignment. Of course make sure they spin-balance the new tires as well.

No, you don't need any aftermarket parts for an alignment. As long as your stock running gear is serviceable you'll be all set.

Appreciate the help
I'm stock, minus my tokico d-spec's and mazdaspeed springs.
Doubt it will affect it that much.

Hey chris theres a awesome shop in Chula Vista that does awesome alignments for lower cars and professional / competition drift cars. Truline @ chula vista, talk to chris @ 619-426-2888. Theres other Trulines in socal, but they are all individual owned and operated, go to the chula vista one they are legit. Also if you need new tires i know someone who can get them for really cheap, you have my number or you can PM me, I can definitely get you hooked up.

I went to Truline in El Cajon and they definitely hooked it up. $39 for just the front alignment when they determined my rears were good. Truline FTW!
