Try Johnson's Alignment in Torrance. Steve (owner) is a POC member/racer. They've aligned my cars since 2000.

West End Alignment is also a shop that seems to have a good rep, so it's up to you

Great idea to join PCA. In fact, there is a breakfst meeting tomorrow at Original Mike,s in Santa Ana for the Orange Coast Region of Porsche Club of America. People start to gather at about 8:00, breakfast is around 9 am. There is usually around 70-80 cars, all vintages. Lots of people to talk with that can suggest shops in your area.
Original Mike's
100 S. Main St. (corner of Main St. and 1st)
Santa Ana, CA 92701
I will be there tomorrow morning and would be happy to introduce you around. Ask for Laura Hergesheimer.

Kristy,
Welcome to Rennlist and Congrats on getting the 996!
Now lets get down to business! As a few others have already mentioned, it is customary for Newbies to tell us a little about their car and to post pics. So consider this next sentence your "Newbie Initiation."
Come on, Newbie, post the !@#$%^&* pics!

I will take pics tomorrow and will try to re-introduce myself properly, lol. I would tell more about my car, but I'm still figuring out about it myself!

Oh yes, I know Marie. She is an enthusiast. She actually participates in autocross with the PCA in San Diego and Orange County. If she could be on a course every weekend she would!

I used Grand Prix Performance on Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa (Newport Beach) but that was over 5 years ago. They did a good four wheel alignment after I had two rear tires put on my '99 C2 Cab.
My dealer/warranty company just sent my 2002 C2 Cab out for four wheel alignment and corner balance and they (exclusively) use Dave's Frame and Alignment in Huntington Beach. I've heard many others use them as well. My car came back from them riding like it was on rails. No knowledge of the cost.
