Les Schwab says these are starting prices only. Your price may be higher depending on your vehicle, and the store confirms it when you check in.

What changes your price
- The type of alignment. Thrust angle alignments start lower than four wheel alignments.
- Your vehicle. Trucks, SUVs and performance cars with complex suspensions cost more.
- Worn parts. If tie rods or other parts are worn, they must be fixed before the alignment can hold.
- Safety systems. Cars with lane keeping or adaptive cruise may need a camera calibration too.
- Your store. Prices are confirmed at check in and can differ by store.
Four wheel or thrust angle: which one you get
Les Schwab does two types of alignment. A four wheel alignment is for front wheel drive, all wheel drive and most passenger cars. A thrust angle alignment is for many larger trucks and SUVs whose rear wheels cannot be adjusted. Les Schwab calls it the most accurate choice for those vehicles.
Every alignment comes with a 30 day guarantee that covers labor and is honored at every Les Schwab store. Les Schwab also says it can calibrate many driver safety systems during the same visit, to save you a second trip.
Price guides do not all agree. A 2024 guide from The Pricer put most quotes at $115 to $180, and a 2026 guide put four wheel alignments at $80 to $130. The starting prices on Les Schwab's own page, $119.99 and $134.99, are the best guide to where your quote begins.

Les Schwab compared with other alignment shops
Les Schwab's starting prices sit near the middle of the big chains. Our wheel alignment cost page puts most alignments at $50 to $200. See our Big O Tires, Midas and Mavis alignment pages to compare.
Les Schwab also gives free rotation every 5,000 miles and free flat repair on tires bought there, which can make its tire and alignment package worth more than the alignment price alone.
How to judge the price you are quoted
- Ask if the quote is for a four wheel or a thrust angle alignment.
- Ask if any parts are needed first, and get those as their own line.
- Ask if your car needs a safety system calibration, and what it costs.
- Compare with the starting prices, $119.99 and $134.99.
Ways to pay less
- Get the free visual alignment check first. You may not need an alignment at all.
- Get an alignment when you buy new tires, so the new tires wear evenly from day one.
- Look for alignment deals online. Some Les Schwab stores run discounts.
- Compare with a Big O Tires or Midas quote if one is near you.
