i have always used island brake and alignment never had any problems, fair pricing, and they cater to lowered vehicles

Depends on your budget...and where you live...

Pacific Automotive is the place I like for spot on alignments...they take their time and dial in what you ask them to...~$125 or so

Other places like Lex Brody, Lindsey's Automotive charged me about ~$80...they basically just put your car in spec for RECON.

My car has been aligned many times due to different Spring/Coilover experimenting when I first bought my car...I didn't spend the $$$ to go to Pacific until my latest and hopefully last change about a year ago...

The three shops above are located near Vakamon...in that area...

+1...Pacific did a good job and they're close to a couple food places so you can get your grub on while you wait

Ken at Pacific Automotive Alignment is the only person that has ever touched my car (alignment) . He's scary big, totally professional and very courteous. I wouldn't even consider anyone else on Oahu. Period. If that wasn't clear, let me spell it out. Ken at Pacific Automotive Alignment is in my opinion the best on Oahu. I gave him my expected specifications and he met or exceeded them every time. Ken is truly a professional that I trust. Those of you that know me realize I don't trust average people. Just my opinion, but if Ken moved stateside, I'd travel to have him align my car. I can provide alignment specs to interested parties.
