The car had driven many many miles. It was tired and wobbly - a quick trip to these guys solved the problem and my car is running smooth as silk now! Really- it is a great place, reasonable prices, super nice , honest and helpful folks. It feels a lot like the car places of my youth. Its the kind of place your dad always knew about and you dont appreciate how helpful it is to know about these types of places until you are out of the house and on your own thousands of miles away! I will return to Mr. Johnson's car establishment and feel confident that both me and my car will be happy. read more

Took my Lexus to get the alignment done when my mechanic showed me my steel belts showing on the inside of my front tires. This place was recommended to me by my mechanic as the "best alignment shop in the area." Its tucked away neatly in a mini auto service strip mall right on the SE corner of 190th and Hawthorne. I had a little difficulty finding the shop but a quick call got me there in a matter of minutes!! It took just about 2 hours to get both the front and rear tires aligned, which i thought was a little lengthy but what do I know! My car is noticeably smoother riding now and I'll update in a few months on the ride. read more

they know what they r doing. they recommended me to a suspension place that fixed the ride height of my vehicle

I have been coming into Johnson's for over 30 years. First with my dad, to get work on his cars, now with my own cars. Never have I had more trust with mechanics then the Alarcon family and the guys at this establishment. I never feel like anything they are suggesting is just to pad a price. They will take the time answering questions and make sure to explain things so you understand. Pricing is always reasonable for what they do. Today was 1/2 of Many, Moe and Jerk. I have referred several friends here all with the same comments about how great the experience was. Next time you need an alignment, give them a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have a 1973 Triumph TR6 that I need a front and rear wheel alignment. Most places don't have any knowledge about this automobile but they say they do. Johnson Alignment knew about my car in detail. They went over and above to get my car right. I am so satisfied with the results and learned a lot through the process. My car had frame damage that they had to compensate for. It drives better now than ever.No other alignment shop has ever put weight inside the car to simulate passenger and driver weight before they alignment my car. I highly recommend them for all car. Even race cars. read more

Johnson's alignment isn't a reputable business. I took my car here to get the brakes and rotors done and there was squeaking at first, though I was assured it would go away after about a week. I must emphasize the squeaking was terrible. You could hear it from half a mile away. About a month went by and I took it back here to get it looked at, as the squeaking didn't get any better. I told Steve about the issue and he immediately rolled his eyes and called for John to come over. John was quick to defend himself and his business, saying there was no possible way it was their fault. He blamed it on the brakes, even though they were name brand performance brakes. I asked if they could at least take a look to check if they did something wrong and I was met with an immediate 'NOPE.' I had another mechanic look at them and found out they were installed wrong. The brakes were already pretty messed up by that point. I don't know if they treat all customers this way, though my experience with them was nothing short of horrendous. To me, this is a textbook ripoff repair shop. read more

Had a rattle under the truck. Took it to Johnson's and they quickly found the problem. Fixed it on the spot and didn't charge me. We have been taking our cars there for over 35 years. Won't go anywhere else. read more

I had well over an inch of steering play on my '84 Mercedes 300D Turbo that I had to have someone else take a look at it but I didn't want to go to any old shop. If I wanted someone to work on it they would have to do it proper. So the Internet brought me to Johnson's Alignment and I was not disappointed. Their customer service alone is something to compliment but the actual work on the car made it all the more worth it. No BS. Straight business. Inspection, quote, work, repair finished. All in less than two hours. That said, the man pulled some rejuvenation juju on the steering. Besides the slowness, now it tracks straight on-center with less than an 1/8 of play, if any. Afterward the man gives me a run down of the work done it, plus a little adjustment to the transmission he felt was needed due to the car's age. I agreed, seeing that it's good to have another set of eyes under my car. The work was fairly priced and overall, they treated this first-timer well and I have no hesitation to come back here for future work. read more

Great Service! Great Experience! Amazing Knowledge! Johnson Alignment was recommended to me by my Porsche mechanic, so I took my 993 C4S to get alignment checked and four corner balanced. (the car has fully adjustable suspension and had three other professional alignment shops claim they had fixed and addressed all issues in the past nine months I have spent nearly $1500 combined on the alignment issues and still no luck... the car was very unbalanced and at high speeds the car felt very wobbly...) Steve at Johnson Alignment addressed all the issues, corrected the tow on the rear wheels, accurately balanced all four corners on the car and since then car has been amazing! Very very happy with the service! Worth every penny and going back out to get my Elephant Racing parts installed! Thank you!! read more

My family has been dealing with Johnson's forever and I took my car there for an alignment. I had gone to do a pre-purchase inspection with another mechanic and the car needed a teeny bit of work. At the other mechanics location I was quoted $3k for one side of the car to replace the control arms. Of course that hurt my heart but I don't give up on my cars. I went over to Johnson's and they told me what I already knew. Thing is, they did the alignment and purchased Lexus parts (both sides) for under $1k and didn't take all day. I picked the car up and on my way home, I noticed it was pulling to the right and I drove it back. Unfortunately it was one minute before they closed. They took the car, rotated the tires, explained the placement of the tires because of the different tread depths and after that fix the car was as good as gold (to me). John helped me out and took time to answer my questions even though I'm sure he wanted to go home. The owner is very precautious because of the COVID, and rightfully so. He did come off a little mean because of his tone, but we're all kind of scared. It's not hard to be honest, reasonable, and do your job well. They did all of that. read more

Ok I lower my wife car and for some reason no could do a proper alignment. They keep telling me she needs a alignment kit in the front and rear to get the proper alignment correct. This is a simple drop no hellaflush look so it was making me upset and costly. Pierce motorsport recommended this place so I made an appointment and they got the job done the first time. Definitely coming back to do my car when its lower. read more

Had to get my 98 Honda Civic aligned after I put new struts on it. Johnson's alignment was so professional and honest with what I needed. Great customer service!! Definitely recommend!! read more

Johnson's Alignment Service - Great job! - Tires Near Me - Torrance, California

See all

Just had my 2004 Porsche in to have the ride height raised, corner balanced and aligned. Work started on the time and was completed as promised. The steering wheel was centered perfectly, love that. The had ballast for my weight, so all I need to do was go to Starbucks for a while. Prior to the work, I went over what i wanted done in detail with Steve, the owner. He had a few additional suggestions that were implemented. Next, a 200 mile drive home. The handling of the car was noticeably improved. If you need it done right the first time, to your specs, or their recommended specs, visit Johnson's Alignment in Torrance. Note, I had local options but choose to drive a 400 mile round trip to ensure it was done right. read more

Ripoff place the lady who picks up the phone is a darn liar they ripped me off big time I hate when people lie and try to charge you more they just play games with you trust me these guys are liars was quoted worst-case scenario $132 bill came out to be $295 and was told come tomorrow for the rest of the job done and go buy 4 tires by our connections at American tires for full price because your tires are stupid. They should be punished by the consumer department. read more

Brought my 66 mustang in for a alignment after installing a mustang II front end . Did a performance tune and now the car drives as it should ! read more

Let's start by saying without John and Steve, I would never lower my car or truck! These 2 are the best around. I will not ever go to another spot. They took in my truck and did there magic in one day and now my truck can drive on the street without it feeling like my front tries were going to fall off. I had HUGE wheel skip and now it is an awesome feel. Thank you again so much! read more

For Porsche alignment and suspension Steve is your guy. Immense knowledge, expertise and high level of service. Steve set up my 2006 Cayman S to perfection, listened to what my intended uses were for the car. He made recommendations for upgrades as my skills progress, I will always use Johnson's in the future. read more

I've had a handful of people recommend this place to me over the last few years and finally have had a vehicle I needed aligned. They definitely up to their reputation, excellent service from returning my initial phone calls until the job was done. They did the alignment on my gmc pickup with the quadrasteering (the rear wheels turned). Super nice guys and gals, and Superior Quality. 10/10 will recommend friends and family. read more

Great people. I had an appointment and they took me in on time. The steering wheel was off (I'm super picky) but I went back and they adjusted it for me. Thanks! read more

Their service was fast and my car drove so much better afterwards . I will be a regular customer here most definitely.

Called and went on a Saturday just to find out that they are closed on the weekend. The sign on the door has the correct hours but not on Yelp. read more

Hit a curb pretty hard. Took it to a repair shop after the car was driving terrible and pulling to the right. Had the car on a lift at the shop and they couldn't see any damage. Someone recommended Johnsons alignment. Took the car in, Steve found the problem right away and told me what needed to be fixed. Turns out I broke suspension parts as I hit the curb. I brought the car in on a Wednesday. Had It Fixed by Monday. It was a little pricey, but the car runs great and feels straight as an arrow, so totally worth it. I'm sure I would have paid a lot more at the dealer. Johnsons alignment is awesome. read more

Openness in discussing potential problems. No effort to upsell services. Had a slightly bent front suspension and this was initially indicated by steering wheel slightly off center. Was told that car was safe to drive and a regular alignment was required at a minimum so I just got a regular alignment and will try it out for a few months. Fair pricing, quick service, transparent communication left impression in my mind that they were trustworthy. As background info, I bought the car, (2014 Lexus ES 350 from South Bay Lexus in May 31, 2017 as a Certified pre owned with 36,165 miles for $ 27,872 before tax and fee and had 48,774 miles at time of service at Johnson Alignment. At time of purchase from Lexus, I noted that steering wheel was slightly off center but did not think much of it.) Right now, my level of trust high in Johnsons Alignment. The Service tech that did the inspection and alignment was Danny Dumas. read more

During the first rain of the season, I made a simple left hand turn onto an onramp. My 1991 Acura Integra kept traveling right on the uber-slick road, when I turned it left. The poor thing slid right into a curb. It was pulling so hard to the right, I was hoping it was just an alignment issue. I took my car to a Firestone dealer. They ran a 4 wheel alignment at my request, but were unable to tell me what my problem was, and said they "did their best". I went back to my house, and discovered they aligned my wheel with a bent rim. This resulted in a hideous pull to the right. I changed a good wheel with the one that was bent, and asked for a 2 wheel alignment for free. They took 2 hours, and did nothing but hand me my papers back. My business was going elsewhere. I had only heard of Johnson Alignment by word-of-mouth. What I did hear was good. Due to my terrible work schedule, (12 hour days for a month) I was unable to drop the car off myself. I got my car delivered to them, and awaited a phone call. After they started working on my car, I got the call. They gave me a rundown of the damage done, and gave me a list of possible solutions. I told them the repairs, I'd like attempted, and they started right away. Within hours I got the call that they finished, what the results of their repairs were, and that I could pick it up. I picked up my car, followed their directions to get a couple tires replaced and balanced, and now my car flies straight as an arrow. There's still damage, but until I can deal with it, it drives very well. The differences are marked: Firestone: Did a shoddy job, and didn't care about a potential repeat customer. Jonson Alignment: Did a through examination, reported their results to me so I could make an informed decision, and TRULY "did their best". With superior results. It's not usually often you get an alignment, but when you do, get it done by someone that cares about their work. It'll save you alotta headache. I've got 4 immediate family members that heard this story. J.A. just earned themselves a new family of customers. That's how you do business right! read more

Customer service could be better. I did an alignment on my 2015 Chevy Colorado, they charged me almost half of what the other shops I called quoted me. John helped me and was awesome. He explained the process and explained what it is they did. Showed me the measurements and everything. Definitely recommend this shop. The other manager was kinda rude like if he was doing me a favor or something. Ask for John. He was great read more

Dodgy geezers- won't be back. Receptionist allowed personal problems to impact service. The Owner is transparent in his attempts to get you to roll-over on unnecessary work. I ended up taking my car to another shop for the recommended car service, which was a loss 300.00+ for this shop. I will not support this business any longer. read more

Best alignment shop in the biz and the ONLY place I'd ever think of taking my classic Comet wagon and my wife's new minivan.

Okay...I'm finally updating my review. I took my car in to have another independent try to determine why my smooth ride turned so bumpy and they found that the struts were not put back together properly. They said the top of the strut is suppose to fit into a slot which will lock it in. The mechanic at Johnson's alignment did not rotate the strut until it locked into place. They ruined the threads by tightening it down so hard when it wasn't seated properly. It appears that they while my car was with them they've also caused more problems which I'm still trying to figure out what else they butchered. The car rides a lot better but I can still feel the road. read more

been a customer for a long long time, went to at least 1-2 times a year to align my cars. One day, there was something wrong with my steering racknpinion. The guy spotted it in the beginning and told me that i may need to be replaced sometime since it was showing some wear. I was specifically told that it would not effect the alignment then since it wasn't too bad. Had the car aligned, then one of the boss (forgot his name) came up to me and told me the problem was that the racknpinion would need replacement and if i dont, the alignment would go bad within a week. i told him that his worker told me that it was not a problem, but now he is telling me that it is. So, i was going to take it to a buddies shop to get it replaced, but before i left, he told me to pay in full even after i agreed to bring it back to re-align since you have to after that rack replacement. He told me no discount would be given and that i would have to again, pay full price for the work. This upset me, since a 2 time charge could have been avoided if i was told to replace first than bring it back to get it re-aligned. Never went back ever since the argument and realized how their customer service is also no good. Work was decent, but business ethics sucked! 1 star from me. read more

If customer service is something you DON'T WANT then this place is for you! My family has gone here for many years and I suppose now as I grow older I appreciate respect and patience. Not someone turning their back on me when I'm speaking to them. Although the work was completed, the headache I had to deal with getting it done wasn't worth the frustration of feeling unappreciated or that they even needed my business. Needless to say, all the people I have referred to them over the years will now be deferred. read more

Took my car to be repaired after an accident. They did the job for a reasonable price but when I asked about the condition of my car John was totally rude and had an attitude. I left there with a sour taste in my mouth. I think part of having a business is not getting the job done but customer service as well. There are so many places that can do the same job and can treat you like a human. Don't come here. I hope it wasn't because I am a woman. read more

Johnsons is a good place to go get your breaks done and alignment , friendly staff and Steve and john are just very helpful. I will be sure to recommend friends/family here. And I'll sure be back to take my truck for any other repairs! Thanks guys read more

Great experience with the team at Johnson's. Very pleasant and the prices are extremely competitive relative to other "big name" vendors. Waiting room was normal. Fine. Nothing special. The good news form me is they are able to work on my large SUV, not something all / most places can say. Toyota Sequoias apparently have an excessively large wheel base and don't fit on some racks. read more

I was back this time to take my new project. These guys did not dissapoint. They were very helpful and respectful even with my project looking like a total piece of trash. This car had aftermarket control arms and sway just installed and they managed to get the job done....no bsing, complaining or any hard time given. Gives you a clear idea of just how skilled and experienced they are on what they do. Keep in mind they are very knowledgeable at what they do. These guys know exactly what they're in the business for. read more

Thanks John, for the great service!! Had an alignment done on a lifted jeep, done with no issues.

This place is awesome! Old school alignments and friendly and knowledgeable staff! Steve, the techs, and the lady working the front desk are all fantastic to work with. Plus their alignments are spot on. If you have a lifted vehicle this is the place to go! read more

After reading some reviews online I decided to go to these guys to have a rack & pinion installed,did the job and I left then I noticed every time I make a turn something was rubbing took it back and he said I needed rack spacers so that obviously told me they didn't test drive the car after or anything any shop would count the rack spacers front the old rack and made sure it was the same amount on the new one these people didn't give a shit about what they didn't do I went there 3 times and The owner has a real Nasty attitude and refused to correct their mistake,all along my tire was rubbing on the sway bar took it to another shop and the problem was fixed without any issues.I will never return there or recommend anyone to visit them don't be fooled by those reviews these people shouldn't be in business read more
