Wheel alignments 2 or 4 wheel are not that expensive to begin with.

You're right..pricing isn't much of an issue..it's just hard to find a place that does 2 wheel alignment, a good one at that. But in this economy, I wouldn't mind saving

Default Reputable alignment centers...

Anyone know of a good place to get a proper alignment for the 07 IS250? I'm here in southern California or in the Inland Empire. Some places I've been to don't even know how to start my car, lol. I don't want that kind of service where the techs are not knowledgable. I'm getting a lot of abnormal wear on the front tires--more on the sides.

If you're on stock suspension, your local Lexus dealer can help. If your mileage is under 20k miles, with stock suspension, you can have your alignment checked by your service dept under warranty.

Default Can you recommend a tire-alignment center in OC (714)?

Hello - this will be my first time going to tire alignment place (is it wheel or tire?). I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good place around Garden Grove area that I can stop by. My car is sort of pulling to the left, and to keep it straight, I usually have to keep the steering wheel pulled to the right. Should I ask them for 2 wheel or 4 wheel alignment? I had some oil change the other day, and the mechanic said I have some uneven tire wear (he pointed to the right tire, more wear on the inner side), but didn't mention the other tires and I didn't ask. The car is 2001 ES300.

Thanks,
- Eli

Dynamic Auto. They are on Bolsa Ave between Beach and Magnolia i believe. He is highly recommended amongst the Lexus Community and does stand up work. Give him a call though as it can get busy sometimes.

I would recommend West End. It's only 20 miles away, but its well worth the trip.

Even after an alignment, you may still get some pulling due to the way the tires are wearing out. If an alignment doesnt fix the pulling issue, then dont be surprised

West End Alignment is a little bit unnecessary for a stock 2001 es300 don't you think? Well not unnecessary, but maybe not needed.
