Was dealing with a front end clunk for over 3 years, took it to 3 different shops (including a dealer mechanic) and no one could fix it. Tru-Line found the clunk, fixed it within a day, and gave me a small discount for the heartache. Highly recommend! read more

It's been about six months. I probably should have written this long ago but decided to wait to prove the work. I'm happy to say that things are great! I highly recommend this place and will return when I need to. I own a 1998 4Runner that originally lived in Alaska so it was rusty when I got it. The auxiliary cross member to the frame that supports the rear axle trailing arms (rear shocks and differential), gas tank shield and some other supports had rusted off the frame. The rear axle and these components were loose and floating. I called several notable shops from Port Angeles to Bellevue. None of them would take on the work. I work on my cars but there's no way I could have done this myself. When they described how they were going to install the replacement cross member, I thought it was creative and efficient. They also went beyond just making the repair by applying rust prevention treatment while they had it apart. Something I forgot to ask them if they could do--but they did it anyway. So I'm very happy about that. A real conscientious and professional group. I would have likely had to get rid of the car if it weren't for them, which would have been sad because it still has a lot of life left at 250k miles (my Sienna van has 400k miles). I just have to keep an eye on some of the other rusty areas like the rear shock mounts. read more

Thank you tru-line for getting me right with my alignment on my Volkswagen, you guys are awesome. Whenever I called they were always so helpful and respectful to me. In the picture is The previous measurements of me going to Firestone and spending 250$ for an alignment that didn't fix everything, Tru line was able to get my car right and I now have a shop that I can trust. Great stuff guys thanks. read more

Tru-Line Seattle - Alignment spec sheet - Auto Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have an SUV that's lifted and equipped with oversized off-road tires with steel- reinforced sidewalls on rims with a non-factory offset. In the past, various shops struggled to properly balance and align this car. Not so Tru-Line; they did a perfect job out the door. Perfect balance and alignment; as straight as an arrow. Highly recommended! read more

Tru-Line Seattle - Brand new tires, mounted, perfectly balanced and aligned - Auto Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Honestly heard of this place online and wanted to check it out, I had just installed Coilovers and new suspension components and it really messed up my camber, toe, and wheel alignment. And so they got me in the acceptable amount degree and recommended me rear camber kit. Although my steering isn't completely straight but they are getting me in again soon to tweak it to my liking which I thought was awesome. read more

Tru-Line has always lived up to their reputation of being one of the best in the business since way back in the 70's. I will always take my vehicles to them for repairs. read more

These guys are awesome! We were traveling to Montana from Seattle and had a flat tire. Not one of the bigger tire places were willing to help us. We found these guys online and showed up hoping for help, and they had us repaired in ten minutes and put the tire back on the car. It did not cost a high fee. We truly appreciate this shop and can highly recommend it. read more

I had a nail in my tire, called ahead, they said they had time and to come over. It was done in under an hour. I can't remember what they charged but it was reasonable, especially for the turn around time. read more

I hit a curb pretty hard and it wrecked my wheel and tire. I chose this place because my car is a retired brand and I thought it might be tricky. On the plus side, they found a wheel that exactly matched the others for my car. But after I left, it was clear the wheels were seriously misaligned. The steering wheel is about 10° off. When I called back, they told me I didn't ask them to check the alignment. I maintain they should have at least *assessed* alignment given the state of the wheel. But they disagreed. Strongly. Clearly, this is a place for car guys who know exactly what they need, and not for those of us who want our cars fixed and don't know all the steps to get there. I have an appointment at Les Schwab. read more

My car was damaged in a car accident last year. Since that accident, despite the car has been repaired, the rear wheels always made very loud noises when turning. I sent the car to the car dealership, but the problem couldn't get resolved. The technician at the dealership even told me that there's no way to get rid of the noise. My next-door neighbor recommended Tru-Line to me. My neighbor said that True-Line would be the best expert in alignments. Therefore, I decided to give it a try. First, I called to see if I needed an appointment before heading over. Luckily someone just canceled the appointments, so I was able to head over after hanging up the phone. I left the car there for a day, and at the end of the day, they called me to explain to me what should be done and the cost. They also told me that they would need a few days to get all the necessary parts. They also did some temporary adjustments. When I went to pick up my car at the end of the day, the temporary adjustments somehow got rid of the noise completely. I was really amazed, and I agreed to come back in a week for the repair. A week later, I came here for the repair. They promised that they would get it done within a day. It's true! They got it done within a day. Now I can drive my car smoothly. Also, they offer free check ups every 4000 miles. I would recommend this business to anyone who wants to do alignments. They're the true experts! read more

Kinda shocked (no pun intended) I haven't reviewed these guys yet. I've used them on multiple vehicles over 10+ years. I trust them more than any mechanic I've ever worked with. Recently they came in under their estimate. A few years ago I got new tires at a well-known tire place, and the alignment/wheel balancing felt off. I brought it back and they redid it and it was STILL a little wonky. (This was not a challenging vehicle to work with.) Finally I brought it to TruLine and of course they fixed the issues. This year for another car I bought snow tires/wheels online and had them sent to TruLine for installation--that's the way I'm doing it from now on. Don't hesitate to use them. You're welcome. read more

Above and beyond service! I got a flat tire and they called all over the city to try to get me a tire faster than the one that had to get shipped. Super professional, reasonable pricing, would absolutely go there again in an emergency. read more

I took my BMW 320i in to get aligned after I had installed coilovers. He did an amazing job and even diagnosed and replaced a broken control arm for an extremely fair price. I will definitely be back in the future. This place is a true family business and the owner is extremely honest and hard working. read more

Amazing experience. I saw this place on Yelp and was wondering why they got straight five star reviews. My own experience cleared up the doubt. My Lexus got nail punctured on rear right tire. It has been slowly leaking for the past week. Costco refused to fix it and the reason they gave me was that my front two tires are Goodyears and rear two are Michelins, and the brand does not match but Costco offered me 1000 dollars to replace all four tires. No thank you Costco. I then found Tru-line on Yelp, called in a day ahead and stopped by the next morning 7:20. They got it fixed in 20 minutes for very reasonable price and said the external tire plug is reliable for the tire's life. read more

Tru-Line is a step or two above what you might consider a typical alignment shop to be. They have the equipment and knowledge to do anything frame and alignment. I made some significant increases to my Toyota Tacoma's suspension height, wheels and tires size. Before doing so, they gave my truck a thorough inspection, explaining to me what was wrong and what was installed by the previous owner. I discussed my mission, they gave me advice to stay under a 2" lift to maintain factory geometry, I took it to the max and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. My truck handles better than it ever has and the new tires show no sign of wear. They even offered to install all the parts I was ordering! Front wheel bearings, wheels/tires, stabilizer bar brackets, front coil-overs, rear leaf packs and reservoir shocks.. I'll always go back to Tru-Line for all things frame and alignment. read more

I've got a long history with Tru-Line and they have been amazing for decades. I had my 1983 Supra suspension modified by Byron back in 1983 and the work was flawless. Fast forward to 2021 and Doug and the team did a great job on my S2000. They dialed in an alignment that will work for the track and for street duty. Truly masters of their craft and I only trust Tru-Line for aligning my cars. They communicated well during the process to make sure we were going with the right specs and made it happen - and delivered sooner than promised. I swear it seemed like my car was cleaner when I got it back too. :D. Even though you'll see exotic cars being serviced there frequently the pricing is very fair. Highly recommended. read more

Predatory business. Online estimate said $250, but they charged me over $600 dollars for a tire installation and alignment. When I complained, they immediately refunded me over $350 but refused to put it back on my credit card and made me pick up an envelope of cash (?!). Quite suspicious business practices. Avoid avoid avoid. read more

Best wheel and alignment shop in Seattle. I had two tires that needed to be patched. I was out in less than an hour. Great communication and very reasonably priced...and so fast! Incredibly professional. Amazing shop. They will be my go-to from now on. read more

They were able to squeeze me in next day after I called in to get a leaky tire fixed. Service was friendly, location convenient, and the price was right. Thanks! read more

They patched one of my tires shortly after walking in and taught me how to do it myself in the future. Good price and service.

From a mechanical and technical standpoint, they're very thorough. They do well with specialty alignments. For two of our repairs - there were two billing discrepancies. However, the owner of Tru-Line followed up and made it right. read more

Last year I had all the shocks, some bushings and upper control arms replaced on my classic Nissan 300ZX TT at a specialist shop; of course had the alignment done at that shop and it didn't turn out right; was told the car needed a camber kit to get the drifting to the right and the steering wheel centered corrected. Fast forward to today, knowing that Tru-Line has the best alignment shop in Seattle; I wrote Doug with my story and after he reviewed the alignment sheets wrote me back saying he thinks that they can fix the geometry without the camber kit; but of course I need to bring it in for an evaluation. I made an appointment and a few days later I dropped off the car where he personally did the evaluation and alignment. After a few hours, he's completed the evaluation, wheel alignment and a cradle adjustment to fix the camber. Now the car is in perfect alignment to like-new condition. I was so impressed with the professionalism and sincerity as Doug explained what he found and did to bring the car to a perfect alignment. You get a print out with the before and after geometry, a diagnosis and he explains what you should do in the future to keep the alignment and healthy condition of the cars alignment & tires. I took possession of the car and was blown away at how good the car tracked, steering wheel position, responsiveness and how nimble the car drove driving home to Burien. There was a night and day improvement where I came away thinking Tru-Line to be miracle workers. I fully trust Doug and Tru-Line to give you the best service. They have renewed my excitement of driving my 300ZX more often; just hoping for no rain now. read more

FLAT TIRE--bad timing last month --acquired nail during road trip to Seattle wedding. Read True-Line reviews, drove to shop at opening. Without appointment (maybe Old Man with Cane gets sympathy) --Devin took me in, dislodged nail (laying on cold concrete), inserted plug to get me back on road, advised replacing 2 tires upon returning home --& refused to charge me anything. You've earned my trust, loyalty, & whole-hearted recommendation. Thank you, Devin. read more

So glad I found this place on Yelp. 3 months ago, my tire pressure was low, so went to a gas station to put more air in. Today, my tire pressure was low again, so I was worried I might have a nail in 1 of my tires (2 years ago at this time one of my tires blew out while I was on the freeway so imagine my paranoia whenever I get low air pressure). I called this place in the morning right when it opened to ask when I could drop in (or if appointments are needed). Since it was a tire situation, they said I can come in right away to get it checked. I dropped in and they quickly gave my car keys to a technician who started checking it. I waited about 10-15 minutes and the diagnostic was that due to the cold weather, my tire pressure was low. They had put in air for my tires, free of charge, and told me it's probably good to check your tires once a month to ensure there is enough pressure. The fact that they were able to take me in and put air in my tires free of charge shows that they don't try to take advantage of someone who knows nothing about cars. I will definitely be coming back here for other car needs. read more

Been going to this establishment since the 90's when Byron was still running the shop. The service and workmanship never skipped since Doug took over running and managing things. I've had my Honda Accord's frame straightened back to factory specs to numerous tires and wheel alignments and balancing over the span of 5 cars and 20+ years. I do not compromise when it comes to tires and alignments and will seek out the best for this service and it just so happens that they have two shops (Seattle, Bellevue). These guys are one of the few few few places left in this seattle/world that does things in the oldschool do it right and do it right for the customer. They treat my everyday car with the same amount of care and respect as they do with the exotics I see every now and then in their shop. This does not mean you should take advantage of kindness or their reputation, but supporting locally owned "mom and pop" businesses is what makes a town like Seattle great. read more

This place is just awesome. They do too quality alignment and have been looking after our tires for a long time. They have a great alliance with tirerack.com. U can Orser high performance tires from that site and then they will drop ship there. The team there is really responsive and have told us when tires are too worn and need another. Hard to find a good reliable shop like this! read more

Last week I dropped off my "wannabe track car" with them. Few hours later I get a call from Tru-line letting me know the top strut mounts were installed incorrectly and caused some damage. (This thing was pulling so hard to the left, I have to rotate the wheel about 10 degrees to drive straight. I got so frustrated with the car I went out and bought a new car last summer...) When I got my car back this morning it drove like it was new!!! (This is a 18yr old car) Tru-line is hands down the BEST shop around town for alignments and suspension issues. I'm so thankful that they were able to fix my car and get it back to how it was. Thank you guys!!!! You are the BEST!!!!!! read more

I didn't make an appointment and showed up around opening to get a flat tire looked at. They were able to take me in and fix it in 40 min. Great service and professionalism. Would recommend and come back. read more

Tru-Line is an amazing shop. I was recommended by a local mechanic to visit Tru-Line for an alignment and was told they do things the old-fashioned, correct way. They don't use computers for things that are better done by hand. In addition, the staff is great. It's a family-owned shop and it has been around for generations. The location is convenient and things are always handled promptly and honestly. I definitely trust the folks at Tru-Line to take excellent care of any car. read more

I had a flat tire today and through google was able to find the closest location which happened to be Tru-Line Seattle. I was assisted in a matter of 5 minutes. They were able to remove a nail that was struck in my wheel and also pump all my other tires. The service was free of charge. I just could not believe it and asked several times. Exceptional professional experience and will definitely be going back there. It was a five star experience and am grateful that there are still some good businesses looking out for us. Thanks guys, you rock. read more

Was in the area in need of tire repair and they were able to take a look with no advanced notice. Very friendly people. Unfortunately, I ended up needing new tires, but had it been repairable they would have done it day-of. read more

I showed up 40 min before they closed to mount and balance a new tire I just picked up. Charged me a reasonable rate and I was out before they closed! Doug, Caleb were very informative and helpful. The mechanic (I forgot your name even though Doug told me) was diligent in his work and we talked a bit about my car. read more

Brought my 2017 Toyota Sienna in for an alignment. It couldn't track a straight line to save its' life. Now she's tracking as she should be. A model of excellence in value, customer service, and candor. True professionals in their line of work. Thank you Doug and team. read more

They got me in and got the work done quickly before a long drive we had scheduled. Great customer service and solid work. I will use them again. read more

We to see the guys at Tru-Line for my Chevy Tahoe rear suspension cause it's pretty soft and I continued to hit the bump stops on big dips.... The installed air shocks and front sway bar bushing and my truck has never ran smoother! They were very nice and communicated very well each step of the process! Billing was easy and straight forward. Caleb and Doug must be some kind of super stars or something!!! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this shop for your automotive needs!!! read more

I've now used Tru-Line a couple more times and they still are the best. I can't say enough about their customer service and work. I definitely will not take my cars anywhere else to have these types of services done. One thing that really stands out is that they are so nice and friendly. read more

This is a fantastic alignment shop! The last time I had my truck aligned I went to a chain that sold me a 'lifetime' alignment.... they never managed to get the truck aligned right, even after multiple return trips. it wasn't a case of over-perfection on my part; they'd give me a printout that showed it was way out of spec and tell me "that's as close as we can get"! they almost had me convinced the frame was bent, but they could never show me any damage... This time I checked on yelp for a better alignment shop, then took it to Tru-Line and they did a great job! I had to wait a couple weeks for the appointment, but the truck came back with an alignment printout that shows they adjusted it *dead* *on* and the truck drives *perfectly*, with the steering wheel perfectly centered. I wish I'd come here years ago instead of putting up with the lousy alignment & baseless "frame damage" claims from the other place! Tru-Line charges hourly for their time and I'm happy with the total cost, although they're not competitive with a cheap chain's flat-rate alignment. But what's the point of a "lifetime alignment" that's never actually done correctly? I'd much rather pay Tru-Line's fair hourly rate and get it done right. Their office is closed for covid and it wasn't super obvious how to drop off the car at first; park in the lot, go around the street side of the building and call them for instructions. they have a great no-contact system set up once you figure where to go! read more

Great place for performance alignments, they do know how to take care of modified Teslas!

I was told by my dealer that my 07 Camry(hybrid) needed new shocks and then a required alignment, ...$1000 plus tax. Took car to Tru-Line. They asked me how long I planned to keep the car(Answer: 2 years, -Great question!). After examining the car, they told me NOT to replace the shocks. And I only needed to do an alignment if I was following the manufacturer's guidelines, not based on what they thought was needed. They further noticed nails in the sidewalls of two of the tires, which the dealership missed. They said they could replace those for me, but suggested that I go back to where I bought them and ask them to replace them under their road hazard warranty. Another great idea as that company came through for me too. I highly recommend Tru-Line of Seattle. read more
