Tires and Wheel Alignment in Chattanooga

About nineteen out of twenty people who call us about an alignment have a different problem. A pull can come from tire pressure, a worn suspension part, or a dragging brake, and aligning the car does nothing for any of those. So we inspect first, free, and only sell the alignment when it is the answer.

Sounds familiar?

  • The car drifts toward one side when you let off the wheel
  • The steering wheel is off center when you are driving straight
  • Tires wearing on the inside or outside edge
  • A shimmy in the steering wheel at highway speed
  • You just hit a serious pothole and something feels different
  • New tires that wore out faster than they should have

There is no alignment coupon here, because a discount on the wrong repair is not a deal. The inspection is free and it tells you whether you need an alignment, a tire, or a suspension part.

A shimmy at highway speed is usually balance or a bent wheel, not alignment. A steady pull with even tire wear is usually alignment. A pull that comes and goes with braking is usually a brake caliper. The symptoms sort themselves out once someone actually drives the car.

Buy three tires of the same size and the fourth is free on OEM fitments, and every oil change here includes a free rotation.

Tires and Wheel Alignment questions we get a lot

How do I know if I need an alignment?

A steady pull on a flat road, an off-center steering wheel, or tires wearing on one edge are the honest signs. A shake at speed usually means balance instead. The free inspection sorts out which one you have.

How often should tires be rotated?

Every oil change is a good rhythm, which for most people lands between 5,000 and 7,500 miles. Rotation is free with any oil change here.

Why did my new tires wear out so fast?

Usually alignment or a worn suspension component that was never addressed when the tires were installed. Underinflation does it too. The wear pattern tells the story, and we will read it with you.

Do you offer a deal on tires?

Buy three tires of the same size and get the fourth free on OEM fitments. Ask us for the specific price on your vehicle when you call.
