Question Good alignment shop in the Bay Area?

Sup guys! I'm getting some wheel vibrations upwards of 60+mph and notice excessive wear on the inside of the front left tire. Someone told me the toe is out. Maybe it's balance? But tire wear is even except for the inside. Just that one tire.

Anyone know of any good places in the Bay Area, CA?

CooL! Thanks guys! Just checked the measurements from my prior alignment and they are all to spec. So not sure if it's alignment or balance or both. I'll find out though.

Update: Went to Motorsports Technique. They charged 70 for the alignment. Everything is in order now. Sold me a set of hubcentric rings as well. Also, quoted me 650 for labor on the clutch. Not bad.

Nice shop.

What suspension do you have? I went to Auto Innovations before for my coilover alignment. Charged $100 flat.

Sounds like a tire outta balance. Get your tires rebalanced and your car aligned. Dont forget to take that front bumper off. Its real hard to get the laser beams to align cause the bumpers huge!

We have a hunter rack up and running now for alignment and we have scales for corner balancing.
Just FYI.
