Framebuilder recommendation for alignment check in LA area

[Gsinill]

I recently sold a vintage lugged steel frame and the buyer thinks it might be drastically out of alignment.
Any recommendation for a builder in the LA/Santa Monica area that could check and confirm?
I need somebody reputable and trusted since I was not aware of any issues prior to selling it and I want to avoid unnecessary back and forth in handling this.

Thanks

Bill's Bike Shop in Camarillo(kinda a drive) used to be a pro shop..owned by Bill McGann, owner of Torelli...I'd give the shop a call.

(805) 484-1203

Also Helen's in Santa Monica..might try..this from when I lived in Camarillo..which was a few years ago.

I have no experience with their frame aligning skills, but I can second the recommendation of Helen's as an all-around excellent shop. We rented a couple bikes from them two years ago and their customer service was not just top-notch, it was astonishingly over-the-top. Really good people who know what Do The Right Thing means.

As far as shops go, Helen's is always great, and Bike Effect (right down the street from Helen's) sells/services pretty much only high-end road bikes - their staff, from sales to mechanics, are top-notch.

Thank you all.

The buyer already took the frame to his LBS.
Not sure who that is and how qualified they are.
In case they also think there is something wrong with it, I will have one of the shops you recommended take a look for a 2nd opinion.

Try Bill Ron's in Redondo Beach. Not a builder but he has skills, knowledge, tools, experience..
Saturday is a good day to reach him.
