Tires & Alignment

Wheel Alignment and Tires in Lynchburg, VA

Is your car pulling to one side, the steering wheel sitting off-center, or your tires wearing unevenly on one edge? We check the suspension and steering first, then align to spec so your new tires actually last instead of scrubbing off in a few thousand miles. Serving Lynchburg and Forest drivers.

What to expect

What we check

  • Tread depth measured at all four corners
  • Uneven or feathered tire wear
  • Pulling or drifting on a straight road
  • Steering wheel off-center

Straight answers

How pricing works here

Repair pricing comes after testing, not over the phone. What we can tell you on the phone is what the inspection or evaluation costs, before you book.

  • We test before we price

    We evaluate the vehicle and confirm the cause first. A repair price before testing would be a guess, so we do not give one.

  • A written, line-item estimate

    You get each item on your phone with photos and readings, and you approve or decline them one at a time.

  • Labor from published labor guides

    Labor is priced from industry labor guides, plus the parts your vehicle actually needs. Not a number made up at the counter.

  • No surprises on the bill

    We never go over your approved estimate without calling you first.

  • 36 month / 36,000 mile warranty

    Confirmed repairs are covered, parts and labor.

Answers

Common questions

Why check suspension before an alignment?
An alignment only holds if the parts holding your wheels are tight. A worn control arm or tie rod will pull the alignment right back out, so we inspect first.
Do I need new tires or just an alignment?
We measure tread depth at all four corners and look at how the tires are wearing. Tires worn low across the tread need replacing. Wear on one edge points to alignment or suspension, and fixing that first protects the new tires. You get the measurements and photos on your phone.
Should I get an alignment with new tires?
If the old tires wore unevenly, yes. An alignment is what lets new tires wear evenly instead of repeating the old pattern. We check the suspension and steering first so the alignment holds.
Do you sell tires?
Yes. We can quote more than one option, from a dependable everyday tire up to premium all-weather tires, so you choose what fits how and where you drive.
My car pulls to one side. Is that always alignment?
Not always. A pull can come from alignment, uneven tire pressure, a tire problem, or a brake that is dragging. We check each one so you are not paying for an alignment that does not fix the pull.
What warranty comes with new tires?
New tires carry the tire manufacturer's warranty, which covers defects and, on many tires, a treadwear mileage rating. Like every manufacturer warranty, it does not cover road hazards such as nails, glass, or potholes. Our 36 month / 36,000 mile repair warranty covers repairs, not tires. We go over the manufacturer's warranty for the tire you pick before you buy.
What do tires and an alignment cost?
It depends on your vehicle, the tire size, and which tire you choose. We check the tires and alignment first, then give you a written estimate with options before anything is ordered.
