However interestingly enough I've read that he is 'old school'? No high tech equipment. Not sure if that is dated information or not?

don't let that concern you...the best track alignments I have had were done with strings...you can't get any more "old school" than that..

Darrin at West End Alignment (Torrance). Very fair pricing for a full corner balance. I too could not believe I was in the same car after having it done. He made my RWD conversion "work" much better with the corner balancing. It took over 3 hours with me in the car but it was well worth the time and money invested. I think he should charge more (shhhh, don't tell him). He's definitely somewhat old school in his business model/approach. No BS, no hard sell, just keep it simple and do it right.
