Alignment shop in SFV needed

Does anyone have any recommendations for an alignment shop in the SFV, Simi. Thousand Oaks area? My usual alignment guy is in the SouthBay and I don't have the time to get the car over there before the next time I hit the track. I need somewhere that'll do the car to my specs without any issues or
complaints..

Thanks!

Nick,
There's the shop in Chatsworth I told you about. I think it's Ron's Wheel Alignment or something similar. I can dig up my old receipt if need be.

They had no problem setting up my car to my requested specs.

If you could do that it would be great, thanks. I couldn't remember the name off the top of my head (My memory seems to be getting worse as time goes on... heh)

Thanks for the info Brett. I'm hauling the car up to Ron's on Wed morning. They said absolutely no problem doing the alignment to my specs.

Now I just have to do the math to convert toe out in inches to degrees.

Hey Nick,

What are you setting your specs too? Let me know when you figure out the math. I would like to know an easy way to figure it out since math is not my strong point

I'm going with -3 to -3.5 camber, +5 to +6 caster and about 1/16th to 1/8th toe out. I'm going to be taking some tire temps at Buttonwillow on Friday to help me confirm the setup.

Nick,

I have a "home made" toe gauge which works really well. In Kansas, I made a adjustment to straighten the steering wheel and forgot how turns I did. I didn't have my gauge with me and ended up at a shop and they did it in degrees
