Discount Tire is great for tires, but they don't do alignments. I use Performance Tire on Miramar for alignments.

Discount is pretty good on tire prices, My buddy's shop (Hawthorne Tire & Wheel) up in Escondido gets some pretty good deals to.

As far as alignments go...I use Firestone Complete Auto Care in Santee off Mission Gorge Rd, its like $180 for lifetime alignments as long as you own your car. You don't have to go to that one store for alignments but that's the one I use.

+1 I use Performance Tire for my allignments. Regarding tires you can also try SD Tire and Wheel off Convoy street. Just make sure the don't over torque your lugs(they seem to be good at that)

Anyone know how much the dealer charges? I am thinking of going there for piece of mind

That is probably true, but they have a lot more experience working on BMWs compared to a generic alignment shop

One thing I have found in SD the more you go to the same places the better your discount gets....

I had my guy in SD but he stopped doing random repairs and services (hopefully just for now).

I went to another shop with great reviews etc but I just felt like it was quite expensive $350 for coolant temp change and $150 ignition coil change.

Anybody has a shop worth going to? I would hate to drive up to OC everytime but if I have to I would for the price/quality.

Call me cheap but I want to keep my car for as long as humanly possible...because I love my car.

I could probably swap your plugs for you or whatever else you need done..

[new2the3]

Damn Jeef I could of used your services for a plug swap... I got the labor done at the dealer and they rapped me. I was already there for a HPFP replacement and figured I would just get it done out of convenience...

Anyone ever heard of used this place for alignment? http://www.yelp.com/biz/chassis-masters-san-diego

Also, where is a trustworthy shop to get some minor wheel curb repaired?

All of the body and tire shops in San Diego county use American Factory Wheels for wheel repair. I've used them myself for 6 wheels. They're great. Tell 'em Rob Walker sent you.

Next time you need anything like that let me know I will see if I can help out.

I actually need a Hpfp replacement and I'm still under 82k. Thinking about doing it myself instead of going through the hassle of the dealer.

No alignment while you were at the dealer? Haha

[new2the3]

Yeah the hpfp is 10 years / 120k. I don't have my new tires on yet, going to put them on sometime next month. Ordered the Hancook evo2 (k120)

Oh what it's 120k? Thought it was 82k warranty

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and just picked up a 2008 e92 m3. Im looking for someone local and reputable that could code my LCI tail lights, activate the OEM alarm, and disable my edc. I was recommended Jackson coding but he hasn't answered/returned any of my calls. He replied to ONE text but that's all I've heard from him. Im now hesitant he won't be able to answer me if I run into any problems with his work so I'm looking elsewhere. Let me know, thanks.
