Clarence Brown Alignment Service

Took my 4Runner in for an alignment after installing coilovers. Service was great, very friendly and knowledgable staff. Price was also very reasonable compared to a 1 week lead time and double the price at another off road shop. Sean took the time to explain to me what he did and show me his readings, and I appreciate that type of transparency for a shop. I will definitely be going here in the future for alignments and any other specialty work. Thanks guys, the rig is driving great now!

I have been going to Clarence Brown for about as long as they have been in business. They are always honest, practical, fairly priced, and extremely competent at their business.
On several occasions I have gone in thinking something was wrong, and they checked it out and said don’t worry. Everything is OK; no charge.
We have taken in Japanese (240z), American (Chevy Truck; Ford Explorer); and Subaru.
Cannot recommend them highly enough.

My first time there. Found them through Unilocal with good reviews. Brought in my 2013 sti for alignment. Good service explained everything in detail. They’re Awesome. Plans to come back again.

These guys are pros. All of the guys there have been there for years. They do it the old school way, and it works. Nice job taking care of me John and Sean!

First time customer, I brought my Honda S2000 here and I requested custom alignment specifications for an upcoming track day. The technician Daryl, did what was capable as well as explained why one more total toe in the rear was necessary on cars like mine as well as setups to aid «mechanical» grip. All in all these gentlemen have been doing these alignments for a couple days, and are well educated on suspension setups for any of your day to day or track needs. Will definitely come back again.

These guys are old school at its best. Brought my Bimmer in for alignment after letting some recently installed coilovers settle for a week. Took nearly 3 hours, but they got my alignment within specs and the car now drives like a dream. They took good care of me and my lowered vehicle. I was nervous when the guy took it out for a test drive as I didn’t want him to scrape my front end, but he took good care not to. Highly recommend these guys for all your wheel alignment needs. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future.
Plus you can grab a bite right next door at Sushi Deli 3.

Jim just did the most impressive possible thing: he convinced me not to get an alignment. He told me how my car pulling to the right might be the result of a recent tire rotation and not a sign of misalignment. This guy is a hero, and the next time I need an alignment you can bet your sweet bippy I’ll come here.

These guys are angels. Came in for an alignment, only to be told my Explorer has extensive problems and the alignment was fine already (no surprise there). They truly showed concern and kept it real that investing in repair would truly not be worth it and to find a replacement to keep my family safe. I didn’t have to spend a dime for this information. Their genuine care was so refreshing and greatly appreciated.

READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU GO!!!
I have read many positive reviews on here and wonder how many people actually got screwed by this place without even knowing it. READ ON FOR YOUR BENEFIT BEFORE GOING HERE.
I took car here to get an alignment after getting new tires the day before. I called and made an appointment, all very cordial an nice. Dropped off my car in the morning and 50 mins later I get a call saying that I needed some work to be done and that it would be around $ 450. The employee read off a few items to me over the phone and I had a suspicious feeling about this, because I just spent $ 3000 getting my car fixed the month prior. The list of items he was telling me sounded familiar, but Im no car expert. So I said I would pick it up. Upon picking up the car, to my surprise they wanted to charge me a $ 29.95 inspection fee. I never asked for this, just needed an alignment. Then I took my car to the mechanic and asked him to look the car over, based on the items they told me I needed fixed. Here is the part you all need to pay attention too. I had just replaced all these parts the month before. They are all brand new parts. I then needed to make sure this was correct and took it to another mechanic and they told me the same thing. THIS IS THE KIND OF BUSINESS YOU WILL BE DEALING WITH AND GETTING SCREWED IN THE PROCESS IF YOU DONT DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE. I AM SADDENED BY THE FACT THAT YOU CANT TRUST ANYONE WHO WORKS ON YOUR CAR, AND THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO THINK THEY CAN RIP OFF CUSTOMERS WHO PUT THERE TRUST IN THEM.

Amazing service and mechanics. I took my lowered GS350 in for an alignment after the drop. Sean explained everything that was going on to me, took his time with my car, had ME do a test drive to make sure everything felt right after the alignment, and made everything perfect.
The guy even offered to take a look at the wear pattern on my tires after 5k miles to make sure I was all good. That’s legit.
I would recommend this place for any alignment and brake work, and this is the only place I’m going to from now on.
Thanks Sean and Johnny.

This is the ONLY shop I will EVER take my cars to. Daryl has helped me with all my road cars and a track car. He knows vehicle dynamics better than most people ive ever met.
If you have a car with specific handling desired please please do yourself a favour and take it here.

Went there today and got an alignment on my BMW 528i E39. The place is not much to look at but their service is great, along with a great price! You soon realize you’re paying for a good alignment and not all the ritz and glamour for a company location that other companies charge. Definitely worth checking out! Gave me a 6 month warranty. Drive Safe!

I have a BMW 330i 2006 that needed a 4 wheel alignment. I had replaced my front tires and the steering wheel was slightly misaligned thereafter. CBA was recommended by my regular service center. I was very pleased with the quality of service and price. The wheel is perfectly aligned again and the handling is great. Highly recommended.

CBA got me and out quick after aligning my Sequoia after I started getting feathered edges on my tires– They advised my rotors were warped up front as well but said they didn’t need replacing unless it was bothersome (I will do them myself when the funds allow)
I remember going to this shop as a kid with my father when they were off Convoy St. in the 70’s (yes theyve been around that long) one of the last few real remaining shops who can do it by eye and not have to use a computer which isnt always right– thanks again, will be back someday

These guys are too on point! If your cars mods can accommodate your allignment request, they can make it happen! There also very reasonable and helpful! Some parts needed replacement before my car could be properly aligned, they let me know and let me decide weather to just get it done improperly and take my cash or fix it and come back free of charge from what they had already done. I left and there was no hard feelings but thanks to them for being such great guys and not money hungry back stabbers! These guys are something else! I’ll never go anywhere else!

Never could anyone be more unhappy or unsafe my car was taken in here for alignment after body work and new wheels. Instead of my wheels and tires being staggered as they are ment to the had my rear tires on from right and rear of car and both fronts on left side of car they can’t do there job leave it to me a girl to figure it out so we took it back in this morning for re alignment and what happens well the tech not once but twice scrapped my brand new front bumper-​TWICE! Seriously do yourself a favor and never do Business here!!! No apology no nothing just blatant disregard for somebody’s car

First and foremost Thank you very much!
I drive a lowered (cambered) 240sx and got my alignment here. Other shops werent able to do an aligntment because my car was to low, but clarence brown did it. In addition, they found that my left inner tie rod was broken and it was difficult to align, but they offered me to either to just get it aligned the best they can, or they can order a new tie rod and install it. So, I went with the new tie rod, they installed it and finished the alignment. All installed the same Day, was waiting for an hour and half for everything to be done. That’s fast service! Honest people, Honest and cool Mechanics.
Car feels so much better.
Also, Armando (Mechanic) is a cool person to talk to and did a great job on my vehicle. This shop is recommended for anyone getting a alignment.
Oh and they Give MILITARY DISCOUNT!

Excellent work on my old 1965 Mustang! Came back for adjustment and no charge! Even after a hour of work. Very knowledgeable especially with older classic cars.
Honest and fast…

Unfortunately, I went for a wheel alignment at this place before reading the negative reviews. While sitting and waiting, I managed to read some of those and just as described in the reviews, I was approached by the staff stating that «due to worn parts, alignment cannot be performed» and was presented with an estimate of work to be done in a sum close to $ 550. I declined the suggested repairs and was charged $ 29.95 for the checkup.
From there I drove directly to my trusty mechanic, who confirmed my suspicion, there was nothing wrong with the parts that Clarence Brown Alignment Service wanted to replace.
All I have to say is: Buyer beware!

This is a very good shop: not glitzy, but they do competent, honest, quality work.
My wife’s 2008 MB sedan had worn a set of front tires out on the inner edges, and pulled a little to one side, so after buying new tires, I knew I needed an alignment. The Shelby Club guys recommended Clarence Brown: a good call!
In less than an hour they had checked and adjusted the alignment, tire pressures, tried moving tires around, and test driven it twice. The wheel lugs were re-​torqued with a torque wrench. Jim, who actually did the work, explained to me what he had done, and why, and made some recommendations for tire pressures and monitoring tire wear.
All this for what I thought was a reasonable price. I will definitely be coming here again, next time I need an alignment.
Thanks, guys!
