I have been going to Dan and "E" for over two years now and have always been impressed by their service and dedication to solving the problem. Their labor cost is fair, maybe a little high, but well worth it knowing that they work on one car at a time, and guarantee satisfaction. I have used them for welding, tire and wheel balance, alignment, steering and suspension, and general repairs.

I read the negative review of Dan posted by smgroup5 and thought he must be talking about someone else.
I had seen Dan's a few years back and was impressed by the quality of his work and how he worked with me. He was actually very helpful with advice on how to save money.
I recently bought a 1988 Toyota Camry with various front suspension issues and immediately thought of Dan. Today he inspected the car for a very reasonable price and made numerous well-explained recommendations on the best way to proceed.
He took the time to explain in clear detail what I needed, where I could save money and quoted a reasonable price for the work.
If you need someone who is honest, helpful and does quality work backed by years of experience, Dan gets the nod from me. Being a former mechanic, I know you can't replace 30+ years of experience.
FYI - I asked Dan about smgroup5's post and he has an interesting story about charactor and the poster's lack of it. There are always 2 sides to a story.

I had several good experiences at Dan's alignment center.
If you are looking for an honest, and reliable mechanic, Dan is your man. He is professional in his appearance and demeanor. This guy has integrity.

I have had a bad experience with this guy - he has a violent temper and I would advice others to stay away from him & his shop. He overcharges 3-4 times over the amount of time the work actually takes. He also avoids having to provide receipts so that the income is not on record. For the past several months, I have been a regular customer and he did decent work on my car. The last job that he did on my car - replacing the rear coil springs, he initially told me it would take 5-10 minutes to replace each coil spring but charged me for 1.5 hours for what took him less than 30 minutes to do (with me actually giving him a hand and getting cut in my arm in the process). I asked him why he was charging me that much and that I didn't think that was a fair price to charge and he just lost it - yelling at me, threatening to keep my car if I didn't agree to that amount, and throwing things around the shop. I paid him and asked for a receipt but he refused. I kept calm the whole time but it was a threatening experience I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm not sure if this is his normal personality or maybe it's the stress he's facing since he's going thru bankruptcy and the prospect of losing the shop since business has been very slow (I wonder why). And maybe the reason he overcharges is to try to make up the difference between the business he's lost and his last lingering customers. I have filed a complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair for him not providing me with receipts of his work and he is currently under investigation. Whatever the case is, his situation does not make for a good environment to do business - find another mechanic/shop that has good customer service and is financially (and mentally) stable.
