Tires & Alignment · Reno, NV

Make Your Tires Last as Long as You Paid For.

Tires are one of the biggest recurring costs of owning a car — and most of them wear out early because of alignment, rotation, and balance issues that were cheap to fix. Reno Auto Works handles tire rotations, balancing, and wheel alignments that keep your car tracking straight and your tires wearing evenly.

Signs You Need Alignment or Tire Service

Your tires and steering wheel will tell you. Listen for:

The car pulls left or right on a straight, flat road
The steering wheel is off-center when driving straight
Uneven tire wear — one edge wearing faster, cupping, or feathering
Vibration in the steering wheel or seat at highway speed
You just hit a curb, a pothole, or one of Reno's winter craters
It's been 5,000–8,000 miles since your last rotation

Why Misalignment Quietly Eats Money

A misaligned car scrubs its tires against the pavement on every mile — you just can't hear it. That inside edge you can't see may be wearing bald while the rest of the tread looks fine. Misalignment also loads your suspension unevenly and hurts fuel economy. After a winter of Reno potholes, a lot of cars are driving around slightly crooked.

An alignment costs a fraction of the tires it saves.

FAQ

Tire & Alignment Questions

How often should I get an alignment?

Check it yearly, after any big impact (curb, pothole), when you buy new tires, or whenever you notice pulling or uneven wear. New tires on a misaligned car wear out early — align first.

How often should tires be rotated?

Typically every 5,000–8,000 miles — an easy add-on to every other oil change. Regular rotation can add thousands of miles of life to a set of tires.

What causes steering-wheel vibration at highway speed?

Most often wheel balance; sometimes tire wear or a worn suspension component. We check balance first, then look deeper if the vibration persists — no guess-and-replace.

Do you sell tires?
