I owe a big thank you to Bob's Wheel Alignment. Richie and the team were very responsive when I arrived with a noisey upper balljoint & damaged sway bar bushing. They moved cars around & got under the rig and diagnosed a loose ball joint in the control arm which they tightened and we made plans to come back for the replacement sway bar bushing. I feel like I found a new mechanic shop which is like finding a great doctor. Thanks again Bob's, see you for the other work we talked about. read more

It was time to get an alignment for one of the cars. I remembered that I had got one last year, even for which car and how I was very satisfied, but could not remember the name of the place. So I went through the car file in my office and found it. After making the appointment a few days before, I arrived to be greeted by Richie, the owner of the place. Being there is such a pleasure. Here is someone who will work on your car in an honest and professional way. No hidden charges, no bait and switch, just down right good old fashioned service. As before, after quickly attending to the car, he took it for a test drive. Then made a few minor adjustments and took it for another test drive and said it was now perfect. Personally, I have never encountered such superior, caring and friendly service. In fact, I have another car that is due for an alignment and this is where I will return, to Bob's Wheel Alignment. Excellent experience. read more

See all

I brought my lowered '89 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 to Bob's Wheel Alignment in Chatsworth. The owner, Ritchie, is busier than a one arm paper hanger, but he got to my car in a short while and performed the alignment it needed. He also test drives the car before and after the work is done to make sure it is right. The car drives perfectly straight now and takes corners perfect as well. Ritchie is a good guy, and knows his craft well. He is also a bit of a character, and fun to talk too. If you have a high performance muscle car, I can highly recommend this shop for your wheel alignment needs. read more

Bob's Wheel & Alignment - Tires Near Me - Chatsworth, California

This shop charged me over $6,000 and did not do good work- The brakes were on wrong for one thing as reported to me by Firestone and American Tire Depo, and cost me more money and damage was caused and I had to call in the Bureau of Automotive Repairs and they had him agree to pay back some of my money and he has not paid a dime! Also they found out that he is Unlicensed!! Stay away! read more

Richie is great!!! This was my second time taking one of my vehicles to him for service and as always he did a great job with the repairs and he worked with me on cost. I have an older vehicle that needed suspension work but I didn't want to sink a bunch of money into in hopes to be in something newer in a year and Richie saved me $400 by sourcing out more affordable parts w/o compromising any integrity. I've been driving the vehicle he work on for about 24 hrs now and it has been a night and day difference and it handles 100% better!! Thank you so much Richie and I will definitely be returning to you for any and all future vehicle repairs!! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this shop. I went in thinking I needed major repairs and upgrades to my custom van. Richie, the lead mechanic, was able to immediately identify the van's issues. While at the same time emphasizing his belief in efficient. quality work. He then told me he could fix the issue for much less $, and make all the repairs. Top marks for Bob's. I'll be back read more

I've been bringing my cars to Rich for years now, this guy is the real deal. Rich takes the time to explain what needs to be done and then he fixes it right for a fair price. The shop is always busy, and so many ridiculously cool cars come here, you never know what you will see. Car buffs know a diamond when we find one and we come back again and again. If you've been to another shop and still have a clunk, shimmy or pull come here and they will fix it. Decades of experience and training come through every time. The rare honest and skilled mechanic. Stop by, show him what you need done and he will schedule you in and take care of you. read more

The best service, quick, reasonable and went the extra mile to make sure my car was safe and back on the road asap. I lost a bearing in my front end, Richie ordered new bearings, we discussed doing both rights and left, which made financial sense and it was done! So pleased - 1st place I went, was the same price, one vs two at Bobs! read more

This place is under new management and the owner (Richie) is very friendly and knowledgeable. I got my alignent here and it was done quickly and at a very reasonable price. Will recommend others to come here. read more

I am extremely dissatisfied with Bob. Bob used to be my trusted alignment guy. I had been going to him for at least 6 years, I have referred multiple people to his shop, and I really appreciated his work. I appreciated his work because it was always good... well until this last job he did for me. I brought my 2005 Subaru WRX to him after being in a hit and run accident. The car was very hard to steer and it was pulling in different directions when being driven. Bob checked out the car and decided that the rack and pinion needed to be rebuilt because it was leaking fluids. A few days later I got my car back, drove it back home, and realized that it felt WORSE than when I brought it in. I called Bob and asked why the car didn't feel right, but he kept telling me that it was most likely a bad power steering pump. So instead of bringing the car back to him, I brought it to another shop to get a second opinion. The second shop (Valley Pacific), told me that the issue was that the rack and pinion was either poorly rebuilt, or it was not installed correctly. I showed Bob the paper work, so he reluctantly took the car back and spend another few days attempting to fix the issues. I got the car back, it felt better, but it still had some minor pulling and the steering wheel was shaking at high speeds. So I brought the car back to him a 3rd time and he had the person who rebuilt the rack and pinion come look at the car. After they determined that there we no issues, he gave the car back to me and blamed the problem on the power steering pump and a broken engine mount. So I took the car to the Subaru dealership of Sherman Oaks to have them diagnose the issue. The dealership called me a few hours after receiving my car and told me that the rack and pinion had been installed incorrectly by Bob. My insurance company ended up paying the dealership to do the work that Bob had messed up, and after it was all fixed, IT FELT LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR! I later confronted Bob about the rack and pinion, I faxed him proof that the Subaru dealership had to fix his mistakes, and all he could say to me was that he installed everything correctly. He denied that he installed the rack and pinion incorrectly even with two shops saying that he did (one of them being a SUBARU DEALERSHIP). The power steering pump was not the cause of the issue, and all of my motor mounts were perfectly fine. So Bob just was not able to accept the fact that he did not do something correctly, and instead of apologizing or admitting to his mistake, he just denied all accusations. In fact, Bob said "I have replaced more rack and pinions than the Subaru dealership"... a claim that may be true, but he obviously didn't do the work correctly on my car. Bob wrongfully took my insurance money and never completed the job correctly. I asked him how he could let me leave his shop with a car that was driving so poorly, but he had no response. From what I have personally seen, Bob is not trustworthy and he will not own up to his mistakes. I will never go back to Bob because I expect shops to stand behind their work when their clients aren't satisfied with the work. Bob did not care about my satisfaction, it seems like he only cared about my insurance money. Stay away from Bob's shop, go to someone that takes pride in their work. There are better alignment shops in the same area. I personally suggest Valley Pacific. They pay attention to small details, they work on some amazing cars, they do really good work, and they are always reachable if needed. read more

Although busy they are competent and pleasant. Feel like they are honest in all my service over the years. Great.

Went to Richie for my 73 Baja bug and was saddened to hear that itd take a while to fix, he actually got it up and running back and even better than before the next day, great job I would recommend him to anyone with a VW, honest work and great reasonable prices, great guy also will definitely be coming back thanks a ton Ritchie ! read more

Bobs the place to go for alignments! I won't go anywhere else. I have a classic and he did not finish the alignment because my car was so low that the header was dragging but bob was honest and he tried to work with it. I changed the headers and now have manifolds ill define seeing bob read more

I gotta say, I've had the opposite experience with Bob's that TW had. I just had my car's 60,000 mile checkup at the dealership (it's included in my maintenance package), and less than a week later the engine light is on and the car needs oil AND is pulling to the right. Of course I'm upset, but what do you do? The yahoos at the dealership can't even be bothered to top of my oil, and I should go back to them? So I went to my old standby, Bob's, where Bob and Matt fixed me up right as rain and sent me on my way. I don't know if Bob himself has ever dealt with my car...I usually have Matt check it out. He's super SUPER fast and I've never ever had a problem. The speedy, courteous service alone is worth it to me. Top that off with the fact that I can trust these guys, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I've known Matt for 5-6 years (since BEFORE he was working at Bob's), and trust me when I say that he's absolutely the most trustworthy, reliable, going-out-of-his-way, wouldn't lie to save his life kinda guy you'll ever meet. If he can't fix it, he'll let you know. If he can't do it for the price he thought, he'll let you know. If he knows someone who can do it better, faster, cheaper, he'll let you know. His business is fixing cars, not cheating people out of a buck. read more

I have been going here for alignments for all my cars for 20 years. Bob really knows his stuff and has been doing alignments for a long time. He is the only guy I have found who can do a good 4 wheel alignment on my cars. He answers all my questions with great knowledge and patience. I have been to many alignment shops who just want to get you in and take your money fast. I even had a couple that told me you can't align the rear suspension on my Saab Aero. I pointed out the adjusting slots and the guy just shrugged!!! I don't get the negative reviews for Bob's he does great work and I will go nowhere else!!! read more

Oh boy id give em negative stars if i could. where do i start. That's right i don't!!! Already a complete waste of time. Incompetent people! As soon as you ask A legitimate question they become rude, especially Bob. They just need sheep for customers so they can push them around any way they want!!! I grew up in cars, they need a female customer that doesn't understand anything about cars so they can sell them headlight fluid with the tire service. Crooks! read more

Called the store and I was answered in a very rude manner by this guy telling me it's illegal to patch a tire. And that he isn't a tire shop and to go somewhere else. Unless you want to get yelled at by some guy telling you your dumb, I recommend you don't go or even call. read more

About six months ago I called on the phone about what type of car I needed aligned, I was very precise. Bob said he understood it's not a problem so bring it in. Drove all the way there with a totally messed up alignment, squealing tires and all. Bob was rude to me, then said no (even though I told him I'd be willing to pay extra for the extra work) then sent me on my way. I guess he can only align easy cars, with factory setting that are 100 percent stock even though on the phone he said he was capable. Went to Marlo's frame and alignment next store, never looked back. read more

Bob is No longer the Owner, as of June 2019 Richies Custom Haus took over & he's Excellent, he aligned my 2004 CLK 55 and my 2015 E550 & they came out perfect, would recommend to others read more

FOR CLASSIC CAR GUYS AND GALS First off, the Bob in Bob's Wheel Alignment is a true gentleman, super knowledgable mechanic, and honest . I presented him with the worst project known to classic car restoration - the dreaded body mount and trailing arms bushing replacement on a 1974 corvette. These 40 year old bushings were original and were so worn neither door would shut. Of the 8 bushings the front two are really hard to get to the remaining 6 are absolute nightmares. Even through I removed the interior of the car I do not know how they got in there to remove and replace those rusted out bolts . For anybody familiar with with C3 restoration Bob was even able to replace and revet the reinforcement plates on the rear two bushings so it's just like stock. For that he told me that he sought the advise of a corvette guy because he wanted to do it right. The job took a little bit longer but I am cool with that. Very clean professional job, doors shut like new and the price was FAR below what I expected to pay. I would and do recommend Bob's Wheel Alignment for any suspension and alignment work especially classic cars and hot rods. As side note I discovered Bob's Wheel Alignment while dealing with a front end issue with my F-150 I took it to two different shops neither could diagnose and correct the problem and I was wearing out front tires not to mention the horrible handling. Bob's shop was able to fix the problem which included correcting somebody else's work. I mention that because I read one review where the writer had 6 years of good experiences with Bob's shop and one bad. I'll work with those odds. read more

Never go here. Bob does not care about your vehicles. Save yourself time and money! Brought my Evo X for an alignment after i got new tires. He stripped my rear camber bolts. Bob also told me that he could not adjust the front because the car has frame damage, then tried to sell me a front kit for $60. He still charged me for a full service after working on it for 20 mins. Also was extremely rude. I wasted more than $100 of my hard earn money to Bob. I had to buy new bolts from the dealer. Brought my car to Valley Pacific to get everything installed and aligned without any problem like Bob stated. read more

As a single female, it is so refreshing to be able to trust someone who works on my car. I first came here when Chatsworth Tire tried and failed 3 times to correctly align my Mercedes. They kept telling me their machine said it was fine but it kept pulling to the right. Who cares what the machine says, drive it!! Bob fixed it first time. I have been to him for a few different things on two different cars. Twice when I asked him for advice on whether I needed something fixed he saved me money by telling me that it wasn't necessary. (One a wheel bearing, another a rear alignment). I will go nowhere else. read more
