West Los Angeles installs/tunes/track alignments/etc

The goal of this thread is to provide a library for us enthusiasts who can’t always travel the 40+ mins outside of WLA every time something goes wrong (outside of service centers), installs, track alignments, etc. I’ve noticed most shops are north or south to WLA by about 40 mins or more, hopefully something comes out of this.

You know what they say, drive an hr in LA and you'll arrive in LA.

That aside, Minicorsa in NOHO is about 22min with today's traffic.
Assuming you're not looking at something even closer.

I see this thread as going nowhere, just like driving in LA.

For alignments and tire issues, Liberty Tire in Culver City has been great to me. Swapped out my tpms recently for $48.

I used https://www.tirecentral.net/ in San Gabriel to mount tires on my Volks. They do a lot of high end wheels and also do custom alignments

+1 for West End. Those guys are magicians when it comes to alignment/corner balancing.

Hey for the guys recommending West End. Anyone have a website or contact info?

Also, if anyone needs PDR, Dent Maven 310.728.0840. Chris is the man, he's mobile and serves a really wide area in and around Los Angeles. He's fixed stuff for me that I though would have been impossible and he's just a really nice and always professional.

If anyone is looking for a body shop near Pasadena/Arcadia I had Ferrari brother do some work for me and they did an amazing job of matching the LBB paint. They use the same paint manufacturer as BMW and they have great communication and customer service. I would definitely go back.
