Temple City Auto Repair: Alignment

So after installing my camber kit I went to firestone tires to get my car aligned cause I had bought the lifetime alignment. Well firestone tires wasn't able to get my camber even close to stock specs in the rear. Why?? I have no idea, which is total bs. So after seeing another memers post about Temple city auto repair I decided to give em a call and set up an appointment, which they only take u in by appoinment. This guy (Henry) is awesome, they have CPU alignment but he does all necessary adjustments by hand. He let's u sit inside the shop and watch everything he does. He puts the car on a lift and gets under the car while he's looking at his alignment screen to make sure the adjustments he's making are right on spec. I got about 4-5 alignments done from firestone tires and I never seen em do that. My driver side rear was at -2.4 while my passenger rear was at -1.9 but now after the alignment both sides are at -0.09. Fronts didnt need much alignment. So cal peeps definitely check this place out if u need an alignment, u won't be disappointed.

Yeah,
Did Henry also mention you can bring your own oil and filter of choice, he would change it for a small fee??

They normally charge $80-$100 bucks man which is way worth it to me. They charged me $80 though. It was the very first time I've been there and I am definitely going back.
