Called in at 130 on a Friday after doing a leveling kit on my truck. Ray told if I could get there by 3 they could perform an alignment. Went in he took down my information and got me right on to a rack. The tech let me know of some issues I didn't know about they gave me serval options on repairs and alignments. By 3 I was back on the road. read more

Went here for an alignment. They explained that I would have to pay $100+ more because they have to disconnect the steering column and it's hard to access. I later realized I really just paid $100+ more for them to unscrew one easily accessible bolt since my car is missing AC and power steering making the bolt very easy to reach. Regardless, they still charged me. I would think an honest mechanic would let me know that the job wasn't as hard as they expected and refund some of my money back. read more

The guys here know their stuff. Visiting the muffler shop (Lyons) next door I have often seen everything from trucks, to RV's and racecars here getting their suspension straightened out...Literally! George is super knowledgeable and had my car squared away (ok, shameless car humor) in no time. Even noting a few adjustments that I had not thought of. These guys do good work, and are worth bringing your car in to. read more

Ray and his guys are top shelf. They installed a suspension lift on my truck, along with some SPC (light racing) adjustable UCAs. Not many people know how to install these types of UCAs, let alone align the wheels after installing them. Yet Ray and his guys did both perfectly, giving me ideal camber/caster/toe numbers. read more

Horrible experience with Ray brought my truck for alignment and brakes and he wants to sell me a whole rear suspension when I'm not interested in it. Told him not to start brake inspection and he still did don't go to this place very abusive and a rip off. The guys who work there are amazing just a shitty boss. read more

My 1974 C10 pickup needed help. I rebuilt the entire front suspension and steering in the truck, and lowered it with dropped spindles. I took it to another shop to have it aligned, and could tell after driving it away that the alignment was wrong. A friend recommended Alignment Plus and I am grateful he did. I called them and explained that I had done the work myself, but they agreed to look at the vehicle and set the alignment anyway. The first shop was way off, so Alignment Plus set everything correctly. I was also informed of a common problem with Chevy trucks this vintage. The rivets that secure the front crossmember to the frame begin to wear, allowing the steering crossmember to move when the front wheels are turned. They fixed the situation in my truck, and now she tracks straight and rides smoother than ever. No more shimmy going down the road! I have owned the truck for 26 years, and thought the shimmy was just a part of the type of truck! I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Alignment Plus to anybody who values attention to detail. They should be called Alignment Plus-Plus-Plus! read more

Did a great job checking out and aligning my Jeep after some suspension work. Have touched nearly every car we own.

Brought in my wife's 2015 Honda CRV expecting to have a massive alignment project ahead of me. Ray and his team were extremely honest in letting me know that I just had one bad tire that needed to be replaced immediately. They rotated my tires so I could drive safely to the tire shop and gave me a fine-tuning on my alignment. Price was more than fair. I just have to reiterate Ray's honesty is what earned this review. read more

Very good value on an alignment for an Audi. Dropped it off before work and picked it up at lunch. Had to make an appointment a week ahead of time. Off the beaten path unless you live deep into Vista, but worth the drive. Very nice employees. Seems family owned. Would recommend this place to anybody. read more

I had recently went from 18" to 20" wheels on my Cadillac and needed to have the vehicle's suspension re-aligned due to the change. Ray and crew took the vehicle and in less than one and a half hours had it properly aligned. Ray told me what parts of the vehicle suspension needed to be adjusted and gave me a paper with the before and after specs of the front and back wheel camber, caster, and toe-in. My vehicle now is more stable on the highway and at speed. Thanks. read more

I just got new tires it one of these guys to do an alignment I use them before 20 years ago and they were great. I wasn't having any issues I just wanted to have it perfectly aligned. It never pulled to the right left never Shake OR anything. I'm an avid mechanic for over 30 years but didn't let them know... I leave alignment up to the people that have the super expensive equipment obviously. I was told that I needed five different suspension components. He went ahead and did some work that I did not authorize. It stated clearly in their estimate vat they will speak with you before they do any work that is additional to be paid for. They came out with a bill equaling over$500. But I was finally talked to about the situation of necessary components needed I'll let them know that I wouldn't be doing that right now. I knew they were full of it as I had rebuilt the entire front suspension myself and just wanted it aligned. So I came home and put it up on my rack checked everything and guess what it didn't need one of the items day said were in question. Imagine that! I then proceeded to take apart the two items that they supposedly fixed, removed the pieces that they installed and reinstalled without those pieces. Then I checked those two components and guess what again?... It was absolutely 100% fine. Believe me, I will see retrieving my money from them. It's just not worth getting into a dispute with somebody right then & there when they are so obviously wrong things would never go right. So, just take care of it later because losers will always be losers. I'm sorry to say that I would never go here for anyting again. In my modest opinion, Alignment Plus is a negative. read more

Just installed new Ball joints, track bar, all new steering in my Ram 2500 needed to have a good alignment done. These guys were able to get me an appointment within a few days. Truck drives better than new, very knowledgeable employees, and got it done without waiting around for hours. read more

This place scares me. After lengthy conversations I decided to go with East County Alignment. They were great. Next time I may even consider Pete's tire in Escondido. My friends give it good reviews and it's a lot closer for me read more

Great experience! I made an appointment for my husbands Nissan Cube. When I arrived, the car was checked out right away - no long waits. Ray explained all the issues with my husband's car and the best way to correct them. He provided everything I needed to make an informed decision. The car runs great without all the scary noises it had before I went to Alignment Plus! I highly recommend! read more

Very good shop. I had them work on motorhome pickup and classic car. Always had a good turnout. If some thing was wrong they would fix it. read more

Brought in my classic car for an alignment. Ray said before he does anything, he checks out the straightness of the chassis and will proceed after his findings. Luckily the car was straight and no other issues were found. Ray proceeded with his work and by COB, my car was done. I would recommend anyone with a classic car or daily driver to come here. read more

Had a horrible experience with some old dud named Roy.(I think that was his name, but hes not too important to remember) Dude was really short with me and got irritated at the questions I had regarding my alignment. He walked away from me at one point while I was talking to get another tech over to talk to me. Which he still interrupted when he tried to give his answers to me. While I was asking some other questions Roy also rolled his eyes at me and didn't give me an answer. It took another guy at the desk to actually explain to me what I wanted to know. After that I called out Roy for rolling his eyes because it was really rude. Roy just became defensive and it became some childish argument where Roy kept on interrupting me and saying "Im talking" or putting up some "timeout" hands. They definitely lost business. Roy needs to grow up before handling costumers. read more

I took my 71 Chevy truck to Ray and Steve for a complete brake job. They added a power booster and I can not be happier. I would recommend Alignment Plus for all older vehicles. Their service and integrity is hard to find these days. read more

I've been going to Allignment plus for 30 years when David worked the counter I always had the best customer service today I went in and Ray had such a bad attitude I had to leave I'll never go back again read more

I had a great experience with these guys. Ray has obviously been doing this a while and gave me a good price and they got it done in less than 24 hours. The guys that worked on my car came to me as I was getting into it and gave me little tips and advise. As a whole the whole shop really seems to care about what they're doing and that's really what small business is all about. I would definitely recommend them read more

I did my research and I asked a lot of my car buddies for recommendations for an alignment shop. I got a good amount of recommendations, but for once I took a risk and tried Alignment Plus. I'm glad I did. I talked on the phone to Linda, prior to bringing my car in and she was very helpful and friendly. I took that phone call into consideration, so good thing Linda was helpful or I would've tried a different shop ;) I brought my car in during the weekday and there was no wait. I met Linda at the front desk and later on I met Steve. I believe Steve is the owner and the man! I don't know too much about alignment, but Steve was very helpful and informative. Steve and Linda know how to take care of their customers and if you read my past reviews, I'm all about customer service. My car is riding like new, the service was quick and I can always bring it back to check the thread of my tires to see if it's still riding evenly. The location is nice because it's close enough to walk to The Grand Plaza or better yet, Rip Current Brewery is a closer walk and it's been hot so that is a good place to kill some time, just don't go on a Tuesday...they are closed that day. I highly recommend this shop. Steve and Linda have treated me well and I appreciate their quality of work and customer service. read more

Ask for Ray. He's extremely knowledgeable and honest. They were super busy but still fit my car in to get the alignment done and told me why my car was making a strange noise read more

Alignment Plus - Auto Repair Near Me - San Marcos, California

Great Service. Nice Guy. Answered all my questions.

I went in for a standard alignment job and got the dreaded phone call that the job would be much more substantial. Therefore, I really appreciated that when I arrived to pay, they walked me through every step of the job and show me the broken parts to reassure me I wasn't be fleeced. I only knocked a star off because on my drive home it was clear something was very wrong with my car. But I drove back and they took car of it right away. Nobody's perfect but I felt like it should have been test driven to avoid that situation. I'll do business there again. read more

I drive a Gen 5 Camaro SS, very high performance and any work on the vehicle should be up to those standards. I take it exclusively to Alignment Plus for suspension work including any special projects. The workmanship is always superior and the costs are affordable. They never balk at any of my requests. Steve and Ray go out of their way to get the car in and done in a timely manner. I won't consider taking my car anywhere else. read more

I went here for an alignment. I paid $45 for them to tell me the couldn't align my car as I needed 4 new parts and labor alone was over $300. I was told they would call me with a quote on the price for used parts on the next business day. I was called 2 days later and told they couldn't locate any used parts so I asked for a quote for new parts he said "sure I will call you with that tomorrow" it has been over a week and haven't heard anything back. I checked around at a few different places and asked some family members as we all came to the conclusion that alignment plus was jerking me around and not exactly being all that honest with me. If you have been in this business as long as you have it shouldn't take longer than a day to give an estimate. I ended up taking my car somewhere else for alignment. So I lost my $45 but I am ok with that. I found out that my car only needed 1 of the 4 parts Alignment Plus said that I needed and was given an estimate for the part and labor that same day. The cost of the part, labor and re alignment $170!!!! Plus the place I went to aligned my car as best as they could to hold me over until I am able to get in and get the part replaced. Buyer be ware! I was surprised when I came on Yelp at how many good reviews this place has as I did not have the same experience. They were dishonest and tried to get one over one me and made me pay $45 for nothing ... not even for them to align the car as best as they could and put it towards the cost of alignment smh very sad to have been deceived this way. read more

preface: little brother took my car out (when he obviously should not have) while i was out of town. got my car back only to find out 1) the gas light was on and 2) the alignment was off. thankfully i found Alignment Plus was less than 5mins away from my place, had great reviews, and upon calling to set an appointment, i spoke with Ray who was very helpful in addressing my concerns when it came time to "find the smoking gun" - we tried piece together what lil bro may have hit and/or how it happened... great, fast, and knowledgeable service, definitely would recommend Ray and his crew. -civilities. read more

In a world of shady businesses, Alignments Plus is a beacon of integrity! This establishment's top priority is for their customers' safety, and not too many businesses these days have awareness of a small detail that is of such importance. Alignments Plus won't promise to be the cheapest, but in the long run, they are the most cost effective. They use the best quality products that last the longest, and they back up their work. I've been a customer for almost twenty years, and I wouldn't ever consider having my alignment and brake work done any place else. read more

Always A+ service. Ray and his team are always on top of it when it comes to doing anything with suspension and alignment. Thanks for your help. read more

I have a 675,000 miles 30year old Mercedes that needed alignment after i installed new tie rods and center drag link. I was worried that i might have not done it correctly after i "eyeballed" the toe setting. The tires screached when i was done. Towed it to them and they aligned it perfectly and centered the wheel correctly. My hat is off to David and Lee, two outstanding and honest individuals. Thanks again . read more

100% professional, Ray and his team know everything thing you need to know about alignment and suspension. My 2010 Tacoma has a factory leaf springs recall. When I received my truck back from Toyota of Escondido my truck sounded like a squeak horse carriage. My rear alignment was off, the dealer did not realign my suspension. Ray and his team, shows me the issues when my tuck was up on the rack. An hour and thirty minutes later, all the squeaks were gone and the ride was good as new. Great experience, I will be back with my other car!! read more

I took our 65 Mustang to these guys after putting a new suspension in it. There are actually very few shops around who know how to do an alignment using shims, but these guys came highly recommended by C&G parts. It's more of an art than a science with older cars and they really did an awesome job. When I came back to pick it up, the tech went for a ride with me to make sure I was happy with how it handled. They also gave me some great recommendations for other local shops to do some other work I needed (that they brought to my attention). I couldn't be happier with how the car handles on the road and and will definitely take my cars back to them whenever I need an alignment! read more

Took my 1969 Jaguar E-Type to Alignment Plus on the recommendation of my British car mechanic. I am always concerned bringing that car to anyone new. David (manager) was great. Will (mechanic) was extra careful and did a great job with my car. Every thing was explained and cost was fair. I recommend Alignment Plus for your classic car. Ask for Will. Bob P read more

These guys do a good job. My truck was out of alignment for the longest time. Alignment Plus corrected the issue and my truck has been driving good since. read more

This is my second visit to Alignment Plus, this time for my wife's Prius Plug-In. I suspected that the Prius needed an alignment mainly because of how it handled on the highway. It seemed to be a little "squirly" rather than setting a straight line and although we had 45,000 miles on the recently replaced tires there was slightly uneven wear. I should explain that I know a lot about cars as an engineer that worked on automotive diagnostic systems, so I had chosen Alignment Plus because I was told by a colleague that they were one of the best, most thorough alignment shops in the San Diego area. This visit and my last, with my Mercury Milan Hybrid didn't disappoint. I had a great conversation with Ray about technology in the business after I saw his new alignment machine while the guys checked the Prius. Sure enough they found that the back end was not tracking straight behind the front wheels. Normally to fix this would take the technician a few tries to get it right since this is a more difficult adjustment, but it took only one try with the features of this particular alignment machine. The cost was reasonable, but the best news is that it is like we have a different car. I thought questionable highway handling was a Prius design, but now I know I just needed to take my wife's Prius to Ray at Alignment Plus. I should add that I have been impressed that Alignment Plus works on practically every vehicle made, from cars to full-on busses. They obviously know their business. read more

We've used this business for years for all of our alignment and brake needs. They are very thorough and very professional. You can be sure that if they say your car needs something, it truly needs it. read more

Alignment and sport car suspension specialists! George was very knowledgeable and willing to meet my needs. I got an alignment performed to my specifications with a few tweaks based off of George's recommendations. My car now tracks perfectly straight (it didn't before even when brand new). Watching them do their work, they are clearly a very knowledgeable and transparent shop. Highly recommended. read more

Steve and Ray at Alignment Plus make it easy to give this business 5 stars. As a consumer, it is exceedingly rare to find a business who behaves under traditional customer service principles. I am a repeat customer and can say without hesitation that I will be a lifelong customer after the superior customer service I was given today. Thank you to Ray and Steve (and all those working on the vehicles in the shop) for always taking such great care of me and my vehicle. I will gladly be recommending your business to all friends and clients for future. read more

This is a great shop! Steve helped me out w/ removing and reinstalling bushing and ball joint on the '59 Cadillac I'm restoring. Since all the parts were powder coated, his technician had to make a special jig to assemble everything. He took the time to explain the entire process and that there was likely to be a small amount of scratching where the bushings were pressed in. I don't think anyone could have put these parts together without some scratching and I had to put my reading glasses on to find them. Also, he gave me a price break when I agreed to letting him fit my job when the shop slowed down. This shop and another around the corner was referred by the neighboring shop Lyon's. These businesses work together to make sure the customers is well served! read more

Ray is great guy and very knowledgeable. This shop is the best alignment shop in north county.
