Chet’s Wheel Alignment at 7815 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110

I brought my car in to Chet’s for an alignment and highway vibration issue after getting new tires from Discount Tire (who had rebalanced multiple times with no improvement). Chet’s was able to completely eliminate my vibration and give me detailed information on each wheel, explaining what caused the vibration, how well they were able to balance it, and how out of round each tire was. Turns out one of my new tires was way out of round, and Discount Tire had placed completely incorrect weights on all four wheels! It drives completely smooth down the highway now. Can’t recommend them enough. Truly some kind and knowledgeable people.

Chet’s was referred to me by another BMW owner so I took my E46 M3 there to have a suspension issue checked out and for new brakes. I was told in the past the car would need new front struts (very expensive), but Chet’s was able to solve the issue with just an alignment. John was my contact person and worked hard to then resolve the brakes issue. He ultimately recommended replacing all 4 rotors and 4 pads, and found as close to OEM as he could, keeping high performance rotors on all four wheels and recommending switching to carbon pads, all things I had already realized I wanted to do via my own research, so it was reassuring to know they were recommending the same thing. Due to a supply issue and a pressing need to have my car for an upcoming organized drive, John still found a solution that got my M3 ready in time and just at the budget I had mentioned I was comfortable with for all the repairs. I had previously only taken my M3 to the local BMW dealership, but now I will not hesitate to take this high performance and very specialized vehicle to Chet’s for all future needs. And I will be bringing my Jeep not to the Jeep dealer anymore, but to Chet’s for its alignment needs too. It is refreshing to have an experience with a local ABQ business that is actually professional and competent, and also friendly. If you have a high performance vehicle, or any vehicle, I would go here first for alignment and suspension issues for sure, it saved me a ton of money doing so. Thank you John and the team at Chet’s!

Wow, they found the problem with my gear clunking, and steering shifting. It was a loose bolt on the Arm Cam. I saved thousands of dollars with their expertise. I thought it could be numerous other issues. Love these guys! They were also quick in getting me in/out!

My first visit was great got my custom JDM Subaru aligned there and they even caught that one of my wheel bearings was going out. My second visit they replaced the wheel bearing and hub. They said it would be under warranty for 12 months or 12000 miles. The bearing or hub was installed incorrectly and I took it back after 11450 miles when I noticed it from how bad it had gotten. They were rude, unprofessional and wouldn’t stand behind they’re warranty/work. They tried to say I must have hit a curb or something and looked for any reason for it to not be covered under warranty, including saying we took it apart. The alignment is still perfect just to prove I haven’t hit anything. When I took off the hub myself after they wouldn’t help me out, I took it to Subaru and they stayed the bearing had been installed off set and wasn’t straight. That’s coming from a Subaru professional so I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Also if your gonna get an alignment go to your nearest Firestone they’ll give you a LIFETIME alignment for like 149$ and will stand behind they’re work, not give you excuses, give you advice such as if you need a tie rod (when you actually do) and if you go get work done at another shop you can bring it back and get the alignment checked for no cost!

The mechanics at Chet’s are first rate…trustworthy and honest, professional and respectful. I was very pleased with the work they did and my jeep feels safer on the road now. It’s well worth the price for the peace of mind. Thanks Chet’s!
