Their is a shop on PCH in cornoa del mar called tire masters. They lift the car on a machine and use these reflector dishs that attach to the rims to calibrate the wheels. I'd went there and they did a good job for me.

If you're willing to lift up your car and double check they tightened everything, then they do a decent job for the price. They forgot to tighten the tie rod ends on a few of my friends cars in the past. One extreme case they cross threaded and stripped my friends camber kit.
Don't ask them to do custom specs though or show up for an alignment on r-comps because they'll start complaining. They have a laser alignment machine, so they'll just start moving things until the light is green. The guy I was dealing with last time had no idea what any of the readings meant, so it was a total headache that took 6 hours from start to finish. Good thing I live down the street.

Say no to autobacs. I was one of the unfortunate friend of Blkexcoupe who had his car done at autobacs. They didn't tighten my tie rod nut and within 6 months, my tires were worn down so much. Sucks because it was my good tires too. After they were done on the rack, the loser worker there decided to take my car on a joy ride through the back. The dude didn't think I owned the car or something so he thought he was in the clear. I hate autobacs. they are never good for anything except.... actually i can't think of anything right now. haha
