I had an excellent experience with D&E Alignment. From my very first phone call, Ron was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. The team did a fantastic job aligning my 2006 Toyota Tundra, and the truck drives better than ever. It's hard to find shops that genuinely care about their customers, but D&E Alignment exceeded my expectations from start to finish. I'll definitely be bringing all of my vehicles here for any future alignment needs. read more

These guys are unbelievable nice, honest, and just a pleasure to talk to. My roommate recommended this place to me for my ranger after I did a big suspension overhaul front and back. I unfortunately had a wrong spring installed that was too short, Paul's communication is top tier that explained what's incorrect and why. They even pointed out things I missed when doing the suspension overhaul and again gave an awesome breakdown. I'll definitely be coming back once I get the correct springs in for an alignment and most likely some tires. If you wanna support some genuine people and get phenomenal work, this is the place! read more

Needed an alignment badly for my car since I recently redid my suspension setup. Got in early enough in the morning they got me in quick. In about an hour it was fine and good to go. Great prices and great guys to help out with my alignment spec read more

Got alignment service on a 22 year old car that had never been aligned. Fast, efficient, professional, honest and at a fair price.

It's so rare to find a shop that does a great job for a great price! D&E fixed some suspension issues on my truck that persisted ever since another local shop installed parts poorly. They went above and beyond to fix everything and the truck is performing much betterThanks Paul & Ron! read more

Awesome shop. Personal service. Super helpful team all around. This is the place you want to get your alignment professionally done right the first time. If you live in north county, skip the dealership and come here. read more

Used these guys to install a "Cat Clamp" (a catalytic converter security device with cables and hardware that attempts to delay, if not stop would-be thieves). We've had thefts all over the neighborhood and I have a vulnerable vehicle and found these guys through Yelp willing to install this device. Quote was fair - and they provided detailed, clear pics after. Might not be their primary focus but -excellent- experience and I'll definitely consider them for other work. read more

D & E Alignment - Section of a "Cat Clamp" install - Auto Repair Near Me - Escondido, California

I came back with my Scion nearly five years later for another alignment, this time after I had got done installing a brand-new set of stock suspension parts. They're also able to properly align cars with aftermarket suspension setups, which is something many other shops either won't touch or don't get quite right. These guys really know their stuff. My car now rides just like it did when it was brand new, and I feel confident passing it along to the next owner. Just like my last visit, I was greeted by the same kind gentleman at the front desk who was friendly, humorous, and welcoming. The service was quick, efficient, and the pricing is hard to beat for the quality of work they provide. read more

I took in my F-250 for an alignment, staff was friendly, service was great, and price was great considering how big it was! Would recommend!

I brought my truck in because the ride was very rough and I was experiencing wheel hop around corners. Paul at D&E Alignment went above and beyond--he thoroughly inspected the truck, then even went for a test drive with me. Within minutes he diagnosed the issue as the tires, not the suspension. Instead of trying to sell me unnecessary work, he recommended replacing the tires first. He was absolutely right--after following his recommendation and getting new tires, the truck now drives beautifully. Paul's honesty, expertise, and professionalism really stood out. It's rare to find someone who puts the customer first like that. I highly recommend D&E Alignment to anyone looking for top-notch service and trustworthy advice. read more

D & E Alignment - truck - Auto Repair Near Me - Escondido, California

Our local Toyota dealer did multiple alignments on my '24 Tundra and never got it right. In fact I had to put new tires on at 23K because the edges wore down. I chose D&E for the new tire alignment because they seem knowledgeable. Good sign #1: The technician took 2 test drives with the truck before finishing. #2: The truck now drives nice and straight without wandering. #3: The tires so far aren't scuffing like before. Great to have a trustworthy shop! read more

I was given a quote over the phone once giving them my cars make and model. I come in for my appointment and the price changed! The girl in the office with glasses and an iron madden shirt said that sometimes they do that but she can't honor their quote. Awful service so I went somewhere else. Edited to add: I was not late and literally asked if they would honor their quote and she said no. read more

D and E Alignment did a great job. The service was quick, professional, and straightforward from start to finish. They explained everything clearly and made sure the work was done right. The quality of the work was solid and the pricing felt fair for the service provided. It is nice to find a shop you can trust and feel confident bringing your vehicle back to. I would definitely recommend them. read more

My partner in crime recommended this place after he drove my vehicle and commented it wasn't tracking right. You see, a few weeks prior, I had a wheel alignment and the place told me I needed shocks and struts. I wasn't keen on taking it back to them...I felt something may have been off after driving it for a few days after the wheel alignment, but I convinced myself it was the roads...potholes, etc. Well, I am SO glad I brought my car to D&E. Not only did I need shocks and struts, but there was other work that needed to be done....and the place that did my wheel alignment before should've seen it. D&E prices are comparable to the other place (which I'm not going to mention). The customer service is fantastic. Ron called me every step of the way with clear updates, what needed to be done, timeline, prices, etc. Highly recommend D&E! read more

Paul and his team at D&E Alignment were prompt, welcoming and brought such a positive vibe. After taking my GX460 to a couple of shops for alignment and still having steering issues, they were able to get my rig steering straight and true again. They completed my alignment in less than an hour and went over all the adjustments with me. I definitely recommend them for your next alignment or suspension needs. read more

I can see why so many people recommend D & E alignment if you're in the San Diego area. Paul is very friendly and super knowledgeable on all things suspension. He gave me a call back to explain some of the questions I had and broke it down effectively. Ron helped with scheduling my appointment, and is a very funny guy who also is knowledgeable in all things suspension. They found the issue with my clunking quickly, and sorted it out at an extremely fair price. I'll definitely be back for some parts installations and a corner balance for the track! read more

I was referred to D&E by a friend a couple of years ago but never ended up going. After my initial experience with Paul I cannot believe I waited so long. Paul installed coilovers on my car that I was very frustrated with what the previous business tried to do for me. My car is exactly how I want it now. Paul worked with me for weeks before I pulled the trigger and I couldn't be happier !!! I will be going back next to get my brakes done. read more

They have a great team over there and are very professional and honest. Even spent extra time speaking with me and improving my automotive knowledge base just a little more. They went above and beyond the call of duty and I'm grateful for extra effort to provide quality service. I would absolutely recommend to anyone and I will always support small family run and operated business who conduct themselves with such a high standard. read more

Ron was great and efficient with the work for the car. Quick to communicate and price seemed fair relative to nearby places

Extremely professional and friendly. I was originally going to get an alignment at another shop but when I was told about D & E, I called, and they were shocked by what I was quoted. D & E saved me MORE than half of what I was going to pay at the other shop. I felt like a valued customer and I didn't feel taken advantage of because of my gender. They spoke shop with me like I was anybody else. Of course I passed along the info to my husband because he's my mechanic. Great location! State of the art shop. It was a great way to start the holiday season! read more

Reliable, fair and knowledgable. Explained the issues and potential cost. Didn't try to upsell. Very friendly service and patient to answer all our questions. read more

Had a great experience overall. The only thing is their waiting room is very spartan but tidy. At least they could have had a Hot Rod magazine or maybe a front-end trade magazine in the waiting room to leaf through. lol. Paul answered my message quickly and gave me a competitive quote. After waiting on other quotes, on Saturday when they are closed I messaged to make an appointment. Much to my surprise they responded and I got an appointment for the following Monday. The shop is clean and organized. Great bunch of guys. I'll be going back. Oh yeah, my Toyota Sienna tracked perfectly after the alignment. read more

I strongly recommend D&E Alignment. Modern automotive alignment machines allow just about any monkey to align a car to spec. However, not many technicians understand the suspension their working on. How will the suspension differ from spec if a bushing is a little worn, or the gas tank is empty? We'll, Paul from D&E Alignment has the experience. He isn't an alignment machine technician, he is a suspension engineer who understands the nuances of modern and classic suspensions. He dialed in my BMWs suspension at a price most places charge; maybe even a little less. Go to D&E Alignment. read more

I'm too lazy to write another one for Paul, because I'm old...and fat. Besides, I think I said it pretty well in my Google review anyway, so here it is- Absolutely amazing!!! I have a 2012 135i with a highly modified suspension. Larger wheels and tires, completely re-fitted with spherical links, sub-frame bushings, Ohlins, Hotchkiss, Eibach, etc. It is about the most race-car street-car you can get. Several months ago, I took it to a supposedly reputable BMW Indie in Esco, who works on and HAS BMW race-cars because they said they knew the alignments on these cars backwards and forwards. Well, the car left with the same issue I brought it in with, and a $500 camber-plate marred to hell with a pry-bar for my trouble, as well as a $250 bill. After blowing away my third set of $1000 tires in less then 12 months, I decided I had to hunt someone down who's actually good at this. As usual, Yelp really seems to help me out of a tough spot. Just happened to find D&E Alignment in Esco as I was close by, visiting clients. Paul finished up with another client and immediately gave me some time for the questions that are inevitable with this kind of set-up. You know, the tap-your-head while you rub-your-belly kind of questions? FINALLY!!! Someone who knows what they are talking about and how to convey those ideas to us dummies!!! Scheduled it last week, for today, and I could NOT BE MORE PLEASED with the results! Paul again took time to understand my use and preferences, wrote down key points, told me what he could and could not accomplish, and we met at a happy compromise where I'd still have my handling but not at the expense of tire life or steering weirdness. Car is back to driving like stock, only with an absolute TON of GRIP!!! Obviously, I need to keep an eye on my tire wear for a bit, but his alignment knocked it out of the park, and he only took a little over two hours to do it!!! Amazing, to still have hard-working people around, with a real sense of pride, because you just don't run into it enough anymore. Can't thank you enough, D&E! Will be back with all my other BMWs as well as spread your good word wherever I can! read more

Did a great job on my car it is also nice having a shop stick to appointment times. And also nice not having to continually call to see car status. Highly recommend. A++++ read more

D And E Alignment was able to fix the error from the first installer I took it to. The first installer was on the Rough Country authorized install list btw. Found out that all installers are not equal when it comes to quality and service. Get it done the first time and come to D and E Alignment. Highly recommend! read more

Got my alignment done here, and I am pretty impressed. They were quick, knowledgeable, and honest. I hit a pot hole and and it messed up my lane assist so bad that they had to relearn the 0 value for me, and they did it free of charge. I brought my car back for a brake job and they let me know that Amazon had sent me the front pads instead of the rears and they told me my rear brake pads had plenty of life left when the dealer and tire shop I just saw both insisted that I needed to change them our immediately. Amazon is sending me the right set of brakes and once I need the job done, I know where I'm going to get the work done, this place is great. read more

Super nice and quality work. Nothing but kind words and a quality experience to share. If you need alignment work, call D&E.

Great shop, very glad I found them. I brought my raggedy old commuter in for an alignment after I did some steering work myself. Paul delivered the bad news confirming what I suspected to be the case- several control arm bushings were toast, and the alignment wouldn't do much to fix the car's sloppy shuffling down the road. He offered advice on how to do the necessary repairs myself (he could sense my DIY mindset), and after listening to his detailed advice and doing some quick math in my head, I asked for a quote to have it all done. The quote was very agreeable (so much so that I wished in hindsight that I had just brought the car to him first), and he had my tired old car ready for me the next business day, riding like it was new again. With very reasonable pricing, honest, friendly service, and just a few miles from home, I'm sure I'll be keeping Paul and his crew busy again very soon with another one of my old beater wagons. read more

I've been coming to D & E for years and highly recommend them for any car repairs. They're friendly, knowledgeable and really care about providing top notch service for an affordable price. I don't know what I would do without everyone at the shop! Thank you again. read more

I always come here for my vehicle alignment and suspension needs. Last time. I came here was a few months ago for my 2022 Toyota Camry that I needed to get an alignment after getting some tires made an appointment a few days in advance for early morning, came in a few minutes before day of and checked in with Paul. Anne was out the door less than 45 minutes and he said everything looks good pretty straightforward always a great experience here fair prices very transparent if you have any questions on any issues with suspension or alignment related questions and they also do general mechanics as well too if you need to work done under your car as well But they're specialty is alignment and suspension work. Best guys in town always great work and affordable prices and customer service. read more

Everything went well. This is an honest shop with value and quality which provided the service requested. Paul was straightforward and explained what he found and what is needed in the future regarding a rear concentric cam which had been previously damaged. This shop is managed by genuine people...Definitely recommend this shop for your alignment needs..Thank you read more

I had my 01 Landcruiser's alignment done and now it drives like a new truck. Ron and Paul really do a great job at the shop.

My rack and pinion was replaced. For those of you that have been in the same boat, it means you drive down the road with your steering wheel in the 10:00 position instead of the 12:00 position. I saw all the great reviews that D & E had so I asked for a quote thru yelp. Got a quote from the owner, Paul and I made an appointment. Cool thing was that Paul was the guy that actually worked on my car! In the end, my car was fixed perfectly, the people in the office were friendly, and the price was good. I was happy with my experience and will be driving the extra distance to have D & E work on my other cars the next time. D & E is defined an honest business. read more

Very helpful and friendly. Did a front alignment and rear shock/strut replacement. Was very helpful in offering advice for future projects that were sensible but they weren't trying to live their pockets, just helping a neighbor out. My 4Runner drives like butter. read more

An exceptional experience across the board, dialing in an out of whack alignment and replacing some worn out inner tie rods to get my steering back to excellence. From scheduling with Ron to conversing with Paul on a variety of subjects, this team is generous with both their knowledge and skills. I can see why other shops refer alignment customers here. Their work is nothing short of the best outcome possible. Look for the purple flag outside and get your steering in line. read more

I was very pleased with the work done. Quality service for a reasonable price. ( installation of Front end upper, lower control arms, thrust arms, inner and outer tie rods and sway bar end links and alignment. My car drives like new. If you have any suspension needs I recommend D@E. read more

I am very glad that I chose D & E Alignment to check and adjust the alignment on my 2018 Kia. I've had problems with extreme tire wear since buying the car new in 2018. It has only 28,000 miles on it, and had ruined the first set of Michelin tires at just 20,000 miles even though we had told the dealership of suspension noise every time we took it in for service and had it aligned twice. Paul found that one of the rear alignment bolts was loose, and I suspect it was that way from the factory. I greatly appreciate the attention to detail and thorough explanations Paul gave, and feel much safer driving the car now. read more
