Tires Plus cant do alignment!!!!!!!!

I brought the truck to Tires Plus, a local tire shop, for an alignment and 3 hours later they tell me they cant align it!!!!! They say the truck is too long and said I owe them for rotation and balance...YEAH RIGHT! I asked why they didnt tell me that when I brought it in? Long story short, I walked out without paying anything.

I need to know where to bring it for an alignment??? Does anybody have a shop in South FL that knows what theyre doing?

Glad you did not let them rip you off! That is bogus. I knew there was a reason I never go there anymore.

look for a BIG SEMI truck alignment shop/place that aligns RV's.
\Maybe call an RV store and ask them where they have their vehicles serviced.
I used to take my truck to a local guy that handled RV's and commercial duallys

good luck!

Do you think someone like Camping World would do that?

Find a tire store that does roadside assistance for big rigs...that usually means they have a bay at the shop, and a mechanic for that matter, that can handle a truck.

You can try the stealer if you dare. The one I went to had the best price and let me watch as the guy did it. He also gave me the print out from the machine.
