Performance Alignment Shops in SF ?

Anyone know any good shops for performance alignments near or in San Francisco? I know a few shops in the east bay, but I don't want to drive that far.

Only ones I know of are outside of San Francisco. Castro Valley, Hayward, and down on the peninsula all have really good places to go.

The Shop San Bruno, low profile alignment rack, does alignments on a lot of track cars as well as street cars. Most cars that go there would be car along the lines of NSX, GTR's, and other cool cars.

Save your money. In a few months, you might be able to afford to buy enough gas to drive further than the city limits. Until then, you can't afford a performance alignment. Actually, you should sell your Subaru and buy a Toyota Yaris. Then you might be able to afford to drive it ALL THE WAY to Redwood City.

Custom Alignment in Mountain View. They have dialed all my past cars into spec and really know their stuff.
