Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good alignment shop in San Diego for my 98' Porsche Boxster? The front drivers side tire is wearing unevenly, the outside of it faster than the inside.

The local Porsche dealer at Pioneer Centres quoted me $189.00 for an alignment. I think that is a lot considering most independent shops will do an alignment for $50-60. My car is out of warranty, so I don't mind taking it elsewhere, but I don't want to take it to a place that hasn't done Boxsters before. I know very little about how to actually do an alignment; I'm not sure how simple it is, and if I could trust some ASE certified dude at Sears or PepBoys. If you have a recommendation or an opinion, I am all ears. Thanks,

Lawrence
