I'd say it's this one. They are going from Pasadena into the San Fernando Valley:

Nice idea Danooky! That place that JT are at is obviously the wrong one though. I'm sure there are plenty of Apple stores in the LA area.

Only 5 that I can think of off the top of my head (1 in Manhattan Beach, 3 in LA, 1 in Santa Monica), but none of them look anything like that...

I looked at the clip of this again and they are definitely at a tv repair shop, probably not an apple store (I can't imagine them selling refurbished apples here - nothing in the shop front has anything apple and they would probably note something like that.)
around 0:37 in this video (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/video/?pid=m8_nnA_sZTz4nTkg21qvw2qwW2jkMN30&vs=homepage&play=true) , you can get a clearer shot than the screen cap on here when Thomas is bouncing around. It says "mitsubishi authorized __" for sure, you can see the red mitsubishi 3-prong logo on the left hand side underneath the desk. The other side, as another poster pointed out, says 'Zenith'. There is a flat screen on the counter and a regular tube tv on the counter.
Some computer hard drives in the back.
probably not apple. but definitely something with tv repairs/electronic repairs. I checked yelp for some tv repair shops hoping to get photos of insides of some in LA but I couldn't find any.

Based off what Brook and Claire said in the preview in their taxi about they could be in first or last, I am assuming that they do not see N/K or J/T for much of the leg. I bet after the bungee jumping, Brook and Claire don't see the others until the finish. The empty iPad station also supports the fact that Brook and Claire were not at the memory task at the same time as others. In the taxi to the finish line, they have no clue if they are in 1st or 3rd maybe because they haven't seen the others. I would bet that Brook and Claire do not come in 2nd but its hard to say from these previews. The editing can be completely misleading.

Random thought, but what if it's not a TV repair place but a motorcycle repair place? I am pretty sure both Zenith and Mitsubishi do motorcycles...maybe that is why that front office area is so small. All of the certificates on the wall is what made me think this...usually at shops and stuff they have their ASE Certifications etc up. I am sure they are still just stopping there because they are lost but maybe we can find a place that does that sort of thing?
Slowhatch:
I doubt it, there are VCRs and such lining the back wall.

Nice eye (and :welcome2:) That's what I was working from this morning. Unfortunately, the database of service providers at the Mitsubishi site is horrible: bad, out-of-date results. And as Chateau and the others have implied: why bother? The location could be anywhere; they need directions to (somewhere), so they popped into the shop and the seated lady in the background is looking up Google Maps or something.
