Wheel Alignment in Long Beach, CA
Alignment is the job this shop is named for. We put your car, truck or van on the rack, read every angle, and set camber, caster and toe back to spec so it drives straight and your tires last.
When to bring it in
- The car drifts or pulls to one side on a flat road
- The steering wheel sits off-center when you drive straight
- Tires wear on the inside or outside edge
- You just bought tires, hit a pothole or tapped a curb
- You installed a lift or leveling kit
- Steering feels loose or wanders on the freeway
Our wheel alignment process
Test drive and inspect
We drive it first, then check tie rods, ball joints and bushings. Worn parts will not hold an alignment, so we tell you before we adjust anything.
Measure every angle
The rack reads camber, caster and toe on each wheel against your vehicle's factory numbers.
Adjust and re-check
We set the angles, center the steering wheel and road-test it again so you drive away straight.

Wheel Alignment questions
How much does a wheel alignment cost in Long Beach?
It depends on the vehicle and whether anything is worn, so we quote it before we start. Call (562) 436-2612 with your year, make and model and we will give you a price on the phone.
How long does an alignment take?
Most alignments are done in about an hour when parts are in good shape. If we find a worn part, we stop, show you, and let you decide before doing anything else.
Do you align lifted trucks and Sprinter vans?
Yes. We regularly align lifted and leveled trucks, SUVs and Sprinter-style vans, and we set them up for the tires and load you actually run.
Should I get an alignment with new tires?
Yes, it is the ideal time. A bad alignment can chew through a new set of tires in a few thousand miles, and the check is quick.
Why does my steering wheel sit crooked after an alignment elsewhere?
Usually the toe was set without centering the wheel, or a worn part let it move. Bring it in and we will measure it and tell you which it is.
Do you offer front-end or four-wheel alignments?
We do both. Most modern cars need a four-wheel alignment, and we will tell you which one your vehicle needs before we start.
