Alignment Specialists

Alignment Specialists is a truck and RV repair shop based in Boise, Idaho, with a second location in Caldwell. You bring the RV to one of its shops rather than calling it out to your site.

It works on brakes, wheel bearings and seals, steering boxes, drag links, king pins, front and rear suspension springs, trailer springs, custom bent U-bolts, steering components and axle straightening. It does truck and trailer alignments with axle camber corrections on motorhomes and travel trailers, including Class A rigs, and services suspension brands like Morryde, Dexter and Black Series. Its service area covers the Treasure Valley, with Boise and Caldwell named by name.

No pricing is published, so ask about the cost and how an alignment or suspension job is quoted when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, closed weekends, so plan a trip there with that window in mind.

The shop has been serving the Northwest since 1998, and the two men running it, Jake and Jim, bring over 40 years of combined experience working on heavy-duty trucks. That matters for an RV: alignment work on a heavy chassis is not the same as a passenger car job, and a shop built around trucks and fleets has the lift capacity and equipment for a motorhome or loaded trailer. The shop describes itself using "frame-down" alignments and laser and computerized alignment technology to get the geometry right the first time, which saves a comeback trip for uneven tire wear.

This is a good fit for an RV owner in or near the Treasure Valley dealing with a pulling steering wheel, uneven tire wear or a suspension or axle problem, who can drive the rig in rather than needing a tech at the campsite.
