Helpful guidelines before your vehicle arrives
Alignment pricing depends on the vehicle’s size, configuration, ride height, and the amount of setup required. This guide explains our general pricing categories and the basic measurements we may use when determining whether a vehicle can be safely accommodated.
Alignment pricing
These categories provide a reasonable estimate before the vehicle arrives. When more than one category applies, the highest applicable category is used.
Standard alignment
Most cars, SUVs, vans, and standard single-rear-wheel pickups.
- Standard ride height and ordinary setup
- Front outside tire width up to 84 inches
- Wheelbase up to 180 inches
Dually, wide-track, or lowered
Vehicles requiring additional space, care, or setup time.
- Factory-style dually pickups
- Front outside tire width over 84 inches and no more than 92 inches
- Lowered vehicles with at least 3 inches of clearance
Commercial or specialty
Large, extended, heavy, or specially configured vehicles.
- Service bodies, flatbeds, box bodies, and cab-and-chassis trucks
- Campers, motorhomes, and slide-in campers
- Wheelbase over 180 inches
Vehicle measurements
Measurements should be taken on level ground with the vehicle at its normal driving height. These measurements are screening guidelines, not a guarantee that the vehicle can be serviced.
Measure the open space between the inside sidewalls of the two front tires.
Measure from the outermost sidewall of one front tire to the outermost sidewall of the other.
Include splitters, exhaust components, suspension parts, underbody panels, and any other fixed low point.
Measure from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel on the same side of the vehicle.
Include roof-mounted air conditioners, vents, racks, antennas, exhaust components, and any other equipment above the roofline.
This includes service bodies, flatbeds, box bodies, cab-and-chassis trucks, campers, motorhomes, slide-in campers, and similar specialty vehicles.
Helpful information to have before you call
Vehicle details
Year, make, model, and whether it has single or dual rear wheels.
Body style
Factory pickup bed, service body, flatbed, box, camper, or another specialty body.
Modifications
Lowering, body kits, air suspension, wheel spacers, wide wheels, or oversized tires.
Photos or VIN
For unusual or borderline vehicles, we may ask for clear photos, measurements, or the VIN.
Important notes
What if a measurement is very close to one of the limits?
Measurements falling only slightly inside or outside a listed specification may be individually assessed. Borderline measurements do not automatically guarantee acceptance or rejection.
Why can the final price differ from the first quote?
Some vehicles arrive with modifications, clearance issues, or setup complications that are not obvious until the vehicle is inspected in person. Additional loading time, limited adjustment access, or fitment issues may affect the final price.
Does meeting every listed measurement guarantee service?
No. These measurements are screening guidelines. The final decision is always based on actual equipment fit and safe operation inside the shop.
