Since you're in the South Bay you should checkout New Wave Sound in Lawndale.

Paul has worked on several of my cars in the past and does a good job.

Not recommended:

Big O Tires on Brea blvd in Brea, it was originally recommended by a friend of mine but the experience is not the best i had.

well i will let the picture do the talking.

it was too late when i noticed it, so avoid this place if possible.

Suggestion for a better tire place will be greatly appreciated.

I normally get my tires from Allen Tire in Torrance:

@Apoc370z

try my friend's shop, its about a block n a half west of Big-O in brea..

Bavarian Exclusive
p. 714-672-0576
181 Viking Ave
Brea, CA 92821

ask for Brad or Lawrence

i get tires installed there, and usually goto Big-O for an alignment because they accommodate for lowered vehicles

I need to get some parts painted. Anyone recommend a good paint shop around Walnut or San Gabriel Valley. Thanks

Any good nissan dealers mod friendly? My 2012 with gen 3 has "service engine soon" light on. Have about 2,500 miles right now. West LA, or sherman oaks area would be nice.

Thanks!

If you don't mind the hour and a half drive, I am sure we can take care of it for you....

Is there a good lowered-friendly alignment shop in OC? Just got swifts and they've settled, I'm getting tired of going everywhere to the left...

Not in the OC but worth the drive:

Cyrus is a great guy. He did the alignment carefully. He made sure my spec came out 100% perfect. Always double checking.

He can adjust your car to what you want. He explains to you everything.

This place is lower car friendly.

Price is reasonable. And no 2 weeks waiting list like west end alignment.

Waiz · 12-29-2011, 11:24 PM

For alignments in the OC, I was told to go to this place:

(714) 842-9200

You might also want to check with Corner 3 Garage, I believe they have a few shops in the South OC that they would refer you to but I forgot who they told me.

Here is C3's number: (949) 380-0801
