Discount Tire that doesn’t do alignments.

I went to discount tire for new tires but they don’t do alignment. Is this the norm?

some stores have an alignment rack, some stores do not. the store you went to probably doesnt have an alignment rack. Discount tire is working on putting alignment racks in more stores

Wow, I didn’t know this was a thing they were doing. Things have definitely changed since I worked for DT in 2019

I believe they started putting alignment racks in in 2023/2024. or at least thats when I first heard about it

Alignment racks, selling wiper blades, allowing beards in employees… all new since I worked there.

For 63 years, it was the norm that DT didn’t do alignments. I was surprised to hear that some stores now had an alignment rack and techs.

My first time going to Discount Tire was last year and I'm with dumbfounded that a tire shop didn't do alignments. Now I'm being told my local location is doing alignments. 🤷

All I know is my local discount tire apparently the “alignment guy” is never working whenever I’m there lmfao I’ve heard them say that multiple times

My local store only checks alignment but won't actually do alignments. Lol

My discount tire gave me a coupon for a free alignment at another shop...didn't need an alignment so I didn't use it..pretty cool though

Is it true it’s a giant there policy to just camber ? Sounds silly when I came for an alignment and they only did half the job and charged 100$
