Alignment Center and Alaska Car & Truck

Alignment Center and Alaska Car & Truck is an auto repair and tire shop based in Anchorage, Alaska, at 100 E 51st Ave. It is a bring-it-to-the-shop operation, not a mobile service, so you drive or tow the rig to them.

The shop works on RV repair and RV wheel alignment alongside its regular auto trade, which includes brake repair, wheel alignments, suspension repair, oil changes, engine repair, car battery replacement, auto air conditioning repair and preventative maintenance. It also runs a tire department carrying Bridgestone, Hankook, Firestone, Cooper and Nokian, with a dedicated RV tires line, useful if you are due for new rubber before a long haul. It serves Anchorage, Wasilla, Whittier and the surrounding areas.

No hourly rate, trip fee or job prices are published on its site, so ask about cost and turnaround when you call. Hours are not listed either, so confirm those at the same time.

The shop has been operating in Anchorage since 1977, and its technicians are ASE-certified, a credential that means they have passed standardized tests in their specialty, brakes included. It is also a Federated Car Care center, which ties its parts and service to that network's standards. For a wheel alignment or suspension job on a motorhome or trailer, having a shop that already does RV wheel alignment work specifically, rather than general auto work stretched to fit, is worth asking about directly.

Google rates it 4.2 stars from 198 reviews.

This suits an Anchorage-area owner who can bring the rig in for alignment, suspension, brakes or general mechanical work and wants a shop with decades of history in town, rather than a traveler needing someone to come to a campsite.
