Very transparent and honest with their pricing. Job was done really well and quick. I had my front rotors, pads and brake fluid changed.

called ahead to ask whether I could bring my car in for a tire repair. The team explained the possible repair options and pricing, noting that they would need to inspect the tire in person before confirming which solution was appropriate. They were able to fit me in the very same day and even provided a specific appointment time. When I arrived a few minutes early, they took my vehicle in before my scheduled appointment, which I really appreciated. The service was quick, professional, and they successfully patched the tire. Since the repair, my tire pressure warning light has not come back on. The staff provided excellent customer service and had great bedside manners throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was their honesty and integrity. Before visiting Tru-Line, another business told me the issue wasn't the tire and claimed I needed to replace the tire pressure sensor instead. I'm glad I trusted my intuition and got a second opinion. Tru-Line correctly identified the problem, repaired the tire, and saved me from an unnecessary sensor replacement. Highly recommend TruLine for their professionalism, integrity, and outstanding customer service. read more

Great place for an alignment. Took my Miata and then matched my desired specs. Fast and great communication.

After a full chassis down rebuild/refresh I needed a proper alignment and inspection. Brandon met with me when I arrived to discuss the build and my use case. I went in with some more aggressive specs in mind but after our discussion we landed on something much more fitting. Driving home via the backroads the car has never felt better. Well worth the two week wait to get an appointment and totally fair pricing. read more

Highly recommend for vehicle alignment, tried every shop in king county to get my 2024 raptor aligned properly and everyone declined or didn't successfully align the vehicle due to how wide the raptor is from factory and as well as being equipped with 37 inch tires from factory. However, Tru-Line was able to get it done perfectly and also installed lock out cam centric hardware to ensure my alignment does shift from aggressive off-roading. Definitely as good as all the reviews rave about. read more

Tru-Line Bellevue - Auto Repair Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The finest alignment shop within the greater Seattle area. Work and value is always 110% result.

Tru-line is the place to go in the Seattle area if you are particular about getting an wheel alignment done right. We had a vehicle that started to not feel stable on the road. It wasn't clearly pulling to one side, but seemed to require more attention to steering than when it was new. My perspective is that there are two levels of wheel alignment that you can have done on your vehicles. The base level is making sure the wheels are aligned to the direction of travel so that your tires don't wear prematurely. My experience is that this is typically what you'll get from tire retailers and the service department of car dealerships. The next level of alignment can help a vehicle have better driving characteristics. In addition to changing the toe-in angle of the wheels, a skilled tech can modify handling characteristics by changing the camber (vertical tilt) of the wheels and on some vehicles) and modify steering feel by changing the caster angle (forward or backwards tilt of the steering axis) on some vehicles I initially took this vehicle to a Les Schwab to do an alignment due to a busy work schedule, Their determination was that the alignment on the vehicle was within the manufacturer's specs. To their credit, they also didn't charge me for this diagnostic work. I recently took the same vehicle to Tru-line in Bellevue. I explained what I was feeling with the steering and handling of the vehicle to Brandon. Several hours later, his staff had corrected all of the stability issues that I was feeling. Driving back home, the vehicle felt rock solid on the freeway and also felt more stable and easier to place in corner. The alignment work at Tru-line will probably cost a bit more than what you would pay at a tire retailer and you'll have to leave your vehicle for several hours. But if you want your car, SUV or truck to steer and handle as well as it can, Tru-line is the place to go for wheel alignment in the Bellevue and Seattle areas. (They also have a location in Seattle as well). read more

Took my SUV in to get aligned after a slight suspension mod. On time, knowledgeable and friendly staff, car tracks perfect. You can tell they put effort in it to get it good as possible. Highly recommend. read more

I have a tesla model S. Since September it's been to tesla twice for an alignment. (This isn't to bash tesla. They're just not an alignment shop) I was fed up that my performance Tesla didn't feel planted at all and I didn't enjoy driving it. It took about three weeks to get on the books BUT it was well worth the wait. I dropped my car off at 7:30 and it was done by 12:30. It was on the alignment rack from 9:30 to 12:15. (I can confirm this via my tesla app location). Brandon was really nice and perplexed by the "alignment" that had been done. He said to stop by in 5000 miles for a quick tire check. This place has earned my alignment business! read more

Return customer with 2 cars. Will never go anywhere else already. Just an unbalanced tire, but you know how that can be particularly bothersome at speed. Made an appointment, was 10 minutes late, and Brandon got it in promptly. Had him check all tires, though it was likely just the one that had some fix a flat in it. Worse-case: check and hi-speed rebalance all tires for 150-ish, in an hour. No problem. Within 15 minutes he came back in and said it was just the one tire and he had wiped out the left over gunk and rebalanced the tire. No charge. What?! No, come on... Now, I know all that is unusual, but what service!! I recommend everyone go there, because they run it so well and the results are so above and beyond what you can get at a 'tire store'. Want a ride as smooth as it should be?! Sold! Thanks!! read more

My OEM 20" wheels on an Tesla M3P were wearing down tires too quickly so decided to downgrade to 18" wheels for longer lasting less expensive tires. Ordered wheels online and tires from TireRack and had them sent to Tru-Line after seeing rave reviews. Brandon and his team were able to get them on, and even handled an issue with the wheels quickly for free. Highly recommend. read more

Without going into to much detail, because I hate writing reviews, I just have to say how much I appreciate the service I received here! Brandon, the manager, is extremely kind and honest. He saved me a lot of money by suggesting that I get all new tires before they do any of the suspension work I was prepared to have them do. It turned out, unbeknownst to me, that I had 3 different ages & versions of tires on my car that was causing my problems. Getting new tires made all of the difference and didn't benefit Tru-Line at all because I had to go elsewhere for tires. But, I really appreciate their honesty. I will be back here for sure if the need arises and I highly recommend this business!! read more

Fixed my wheel balance issues that had been caused by another shop. Road force balancing made a huge difference. Would recommend this shop to anyone read more

They are my go-to for wheels, tires, balancing, alignment and general suspension work. Awesome customer service and they care about the quality of their work. read more

Had an unfortunate road incident that required an alignment on a European car. Brought the car in and the team quickly determined that repair would be an alignment AFTER replacing some bent parts. The shop was much fairer than the dealer, efficient, and done the same day. Glad I brought the car to them. Very recommended. read more

Tru-Line has worked on two of my cars in the past, including my recent model year Cayenne Turbo. My Cayenne was drifting to the right. I took it into the Porsche Bellevue official dealership for an alignment, and was told the alignment was totally normal. They found no evidence of drifting or pulling and suggested I coordinate a ride along with a tech to demonstrate the issue. This was perplexing to me as the car was very clearly drifting. My schedule is tight and I had trouble coordinating time for a ride along with a tech. I reached out to Tru-Line to schedule an alignment at their shop in the hopes this was a simple alignment issue. Tru-Line took it for a spin and immediately identified the drifting behavior. Their alignment fixed the issue 100%. Night and day difference. Back to normal! Brandon Reeves at Tru-Line was a pleasure to work with and very communicative. I highly recommend Tru-Line for any alignment needs, in particular the needs of performance cars. read more

Brought my MK5 Supra in with hope that they could fix my vibration issues that the Toyota dealer said was "normal" and I was 100% happy with the results. Had all four wheel road force balanced for cheaper than I expected! I highly recommend anyone to come here for suspension and wheel work, I drove for 2 hours from the peninsula and it was worth it. I will be back when I get my second set of wheels for my summer tires! read more

Quick shout-out to Brandon at Tru-Line, who helped me with the Tirerack.com road hazard claims process after I brought the car in with a flat tire. He was very generous with his time even though they were closing soon and took care of the claim effectively to get it approved within minutes. Tru-Line is a superb shop and they know how to mount tires carefully onto larger sports wheels without issue. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Brought my jzx down to get an alignment and they did an amazing job getting everything back to spec and readjusting my coilovers. Highly highly recommend for anyone especially people with modified cars read more

I was hesitant to put myself on the waiting list to get my car into this shop, but the only other mechanic I trust in the state recommended them within five minutes of discussing my problem. I had gotten myself into a terrible mechanical pickle (see "other auto shop" review) that was handled quickly, professionally, and well beyond my expectations. Pete is a regular car whisperer that seems to enjoy helping people out of various mechanical pickles. I could not express to you enough what a good choice you're making by bringing your car here! read more

Brandon is top notch. I took my wagon for a wheel/tire swap. It was smooth and they did great work! Thank you!

Tru-Line is still awesome. After a parking lot accident, a repair shop in Kirkland outsourced my alignment repair to another shop. After I picked up the car, the alignment just didn't feel right. I knew Pete would do it right, so I brought it in to Tru-Line to have him diagnose and repair if needed. Turns out I wasn't crazy and it did need repair. I'm thankful that Pete was there when I needed him, and he's just as dedicated to quality as ever. read more

Tru-Line Bellevue - Pete's repair after another shop "repaired" the alignment. - Auto Repair Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Tru-Line is really the only choice for your Tesla alignment needs in the Seattle area. Pete is a super knowledgeable Tech and did a fantastic job on the 4w alignment of my new Model 3 Performance Dual Motor. I installed a set of Unplugged Performance Dual rate lowering springs a couple weeks ago to improve the response, looks and efficiency of my P3D. I chose Tru-Line after reviewing about 10 different options on Yelp and a lot of customer feedback. Like many other 3 owners who have installed the UP springs, I noticed an obvious clunking noise on the front strut towers over bumps. I tried isolating to cause myself but eventually gave up and took it to Tru-Line. I asked Pete to try and isolate and fix the source of clunking noise, but unfortunately he wasn't able to nail it down. It seems to be a design flaw with the UP springs that result in "coil slap" which no amount of adjusting or tightening will fix. That said, Pete still did great job not only with the alignment, but also didn't charge me for the diagnostic time (I think because he felt bad, though he said he might have forgot). He also spent a good 30 minutes educating me on how Tesla setups are different, some of the issues unique to Model 3 and what to watch out for. I really appreciated Pete spending the time since I'm a gear head but totally new to EVs/Tesla. Oh and it now drives as straight as an arrow thanks to Pete and Tru-Line. Now I just have to solve the annoying and elusive clunking noise! read more

On the recommendation of my auto repair shop, I was referred to Tru-Line to perform realignment. This was the first time I had this particular service done, even though my car was getting up there in years. Definitely needed to get this done and I am glad that I came here to do so. Initially, I was referred to the Seattle Tru-Line location but noticed that Tru-Line had a Bellevue location which is closer so I gave them a call instead. The hours at the Bellevue shop are a little more condensed, but I was told by my auto shop you needed to set an appointment ahead of time anyway, which I did one week before. Tru-Line is located just off Bel-Red Road. There are a number of auto related businesses in the vicinity. Although I was a little confused with the process when I first entered the office, I was reassured by another customer in the waiting room that I had come to the right place for car service. And he was right. After 3 hours, my car was ready. Byron did a great job of explaining the changes he made to the alignment of the car and provided some good info on car maintenance. He suggested that I replace my tires as soon as my budget would allow along with providing a tire recommendation. It is great that I can buy these tires online at Tirerack and have them shipped to Tru-Line to have them installed. I recommend Tru-Line. Excellent knowledgeable service found here without the hassle of upselling to deal with. read more

Scheduled an appointment (they usually need a week heads up) for my STi to set the ride height and get it corner balanced on my brand new RaceComp Engineering Tarmac 2's. When I first pulled up, the feel of this shop instantly reminded me of a small Ferrari garage I ran into on a back street in Italy a few months ago. Family run, each customer matters a lot to them, and they are genuinely interested in setting your suspension perfectly. Without question. Even though the owner (Byron) can be a bit eccentric/quirky, he is the most genuine shop owner I've ever met, no bs straight to the point and a very humble person. All who work here are extremely knowledgable and masters of their craft. Just have an idea what setup you want when you show up, and be decisive. I cannot stress enough how strict the level of attention to detail is here, and how OBSESSIVE they are in the pursuit of perfection. I realize it's not everyone's cup of tea...some people just want a "fast food" style suspension tune, and if that sounds like you, this is absolutely NOT your place. For those of you who are looking for an incredibly high level of execution without cutting corners, this is your place. Byron is the man! Car use: daily driver/light autocross read more

Tru-Line Bellevue - Pricing as of 24 May 16, I still can't believe it's so inexpensive for such a high level of execution. - Auto Repair Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

It took a couple of weeks to get on their schedule but it was completely worth the wait. I had some undercarriage noise that I diagnosed as being time for a complete suspension update/refresh on a 13 year old well used SUV. They did a bit of lubrication and informed I needed nothing but some new tires soon, and new struts in a few thousand miles. I was prepared to spend some bank and they did a quick look and told me it was on the house and to come back in 5-10K for a strut update. Some of the best service I have ever had in 40 years of car ownership. I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for honest and straight forward service. read more

Most helpful and honest people I have done business with in this town. Highly recommend. Pete is terrific. Worked on my Chevy pickup. Couldn't find the problem and didn't charge me anything. When was the last time you had that happen? read more

Have been taking our cars to Tru-Line in Bellevue for years. They are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about what they do. I have been impressed on how they give you a print out of the before and after alignment and set your alignment based on your weight. Well worth the investment. I had the alignment done and front tires flipped. The car drives like a new car. Thank you Byron, Pete and Sacha. I appreciate your integrity and the care for us as your customers. read more

100% cannot recommend enough. Service 7/7 Quality of work 7/7 From calling for a quote to picking my rig up, the interactions with the team was top notch. Each person went the extra mile to answer my millions of questions. Also, they beat the labor quotes from basically every other shop in Seattle. Work done: XREAS deletion from my 2003 4runner Limited v8 Install of BOSS coil-over suspension from Toytec. read more

Pete seems to me to be a geek in the best possible sense: observant, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable. I've had my Boxster in twice to have it aligned: once when I bought it, and again when I hit a bowling-ball sized rock on the undercarriage (me: "No way that's a rock. Even if it is, I'll clear it." It was. And I didn't. But I digress...) Feels like a completely different car after it's been in Pete's care: such a huge difference in stability and feel. They're also accommodating and friendly. Tru-Line is one of those places I never feel bad about the service I pay for. read more

Bryon is great!! He's honest and tells me exactly what I need to look for...he is HALF of what I would have had to pay if I went to the dealership! I am telling everyone about Tru-Line!! read more

Went to this place due to the great reviews. Branden was real friendly. He checked my 10 year old tires and told me they can last until this winter. Will definitely go back for new tires later this year . read more

If you are looking for any type of assistance around steering, tires/wheels or suspension - look no further. This place rates among the best experiences a car owner can have in the greater Seattle area. I've used Tru-Line in Seattle in the past and been very happy with them. I've since moved, acquired new vehicles and so happened to find myself in need of a wheel alignment for my new used 4Runner. Now, you would not want to trust wheel alignment to a random tire outlet, as it requires serious skill and experience and probably most important of all, patience and a keen eye for detail. Pete at Tru-Line took me through all the "gets" of performing the alignment services, from questions around daily use, past incidents, weight of driver (passengers), typical use and driving conditions. Very good! Picking up later in the afternoon, I'm greeted by the super friendly staff and Pete joins me minutes later to report back on findings and actions taken - super positive experience. We had a long chat on servicing the vehicle going forward, tires to consider for Off Road, as well as covering the opportunity for Tru-Line customers to drop by every few thousand miles to their things checked up FOC. Car drives absolutely fantastic. I'll be back for sure. read more

I had my Toyota in for an oil change at the dealership and they informed me that I needed new brakes right away. I decided to get a second opinion and called Tru-Line based on the Yelp reviews. There is a charge to inspect, but if you need brakes it goes towards the new brakes. They checked my brakes and my suspicion was valid, I didn't need brakes after all. I had about 40 - 50% left on them. It was worth getting them checked out by an honest business. About a year later I did need brakes and they installed them at a great price. Highly recommend! read more

Professional service, excellent result! My car's alignment was off and the tires were abnormally worn. As soon as buying new tires, I have visited Tru-Line Bellevue and Pete assisted me to fix my problem. He did a perfect alignment on my car. This is the right place if you're looking for professional result! read more

They got the job done, but I was disappointed that they advertise "expertise and integrity for 3 generations" and yet they're a company that quotes one price and then bills another. I went to Tru-Line to get two TPMS sensors replaced. When I called to schedule my appointment, I was quoted $30+tax per wheel/tire on the phone. On the day I went in, as I handed my keys to the tech, I said what I ask everyone I hand my car keys to: "If you need to take the car off the lot, could you please let me know first?". I didn't think he would need to, and the response I've ever gotten so far is "sure thing" or "sure thing, but I shouldn't need to". The tech looks back at me with a stern and condescending "why is that?". Surprised, I explained to him that I've had a bad experience elsewhere before, and that's what I ask of everyone I hand my keys to. The tech then basically responded with "well if I need to, I'll take it down the road and back". Not assuring, but fine, I wasn't going to argue with someone I just handed my keys to. When the tech came back after finishing up, he told me that I would still need to program the TPMS sensors. Not a problem for me, since I have the TPMS tool, but it was a bit strange, considering this is supposedly a shop that specializes in TPMS sensors (as well as other things). Finally, when I was finally given the bill. I noticed that instead of the 2 x $30 + tax quoted, I was charged $69 + $3.80 "EPA" + sales tax. I later asked about the difference, but they were of no help. The answer was somewhere between "we quoted you $69 and not $60 all along" and "we raised our prices this year, but we should have quoted you the new prices". I also asked about the $3.80 "EPA" line item and they claimed that this was a "tax" charged on all services - I have no way to confirm this is actually a tax, and I'm not sure how swapping two sensors, and not having to dispose of the old ones, results in anything the EPA would care about. What's surprising is that they calculated sales tax based on the $69 *and* the $3.80 EPA line item, so I was taxed on top of tax for the $3.80. All in all, they overcharged me by $14.08 compared to their "quote", which might not be a lot to some folks, but that's an extra 21% they helped themselves to. Replacing 2x TPMS sensors should be pretty straightforward to quote, and I find it very hard to believe that this represents "integrity". Frankly, in looking at these reviews, it's a bit surprising for any business to have glowing 5* reviews across the board. I guess I'll be the first to share something different. read more

Amazing and honest people . They are very professional and pin point my bmw drive problem which even dealership can't find it .

I went to Tru-Line to center the steering wheel of my brand-new Golf R as it didn't come perfectly centered (like -5 degrees off centered... a bit OCD here) from the dealer. I went to this shop after checking the awesome reviews as didn't think an average tire shop would be able to do a perfect wheel alignment. I got the car back and the steering wheel is completely centered but the best part is that the car handles better than before, I couldn't be happier This place might be a bit more expensive than other shops, but you get what you pay for. 100% satisfied with Tru-Line. read more

My custom-built 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee FINALLY got a professional alignment at Tru-Line. What a difference!

THANKS MUCH GUYS AND GALS. I am extremely pleased. read more
