Royal Ostrander established Royal Wheel Alignment in 1939. Those were the days of Ford Model A, Cadillac LaSalle, Diamond T, and Willys. Royal’s son, Russ, and his wife, Dorothy, took over the business. After 12 years of working for the Ostranders, Evan Barnes purchased the business in 1985.

Evan is the “old guy,” of the business, working it for 40 years, driving the same route to work the entire time. He worked until 2020. As Evan looks back on his time in the business, he notes how much has changed through technology. What hasn’t changed is that the small town feel that Royal Ostrander and his son, Russ, fostered during their ownership continues to this day.

Four generations of customers can reminisce about coming into our shop with their grandpa. That’s why one of our business models is “Your Grandpa’s garage with modern technology.”

At Royal Wheel Alignment, we’ve been keeping you between the lines since 1939.

Scott bought the business in January of 2021 after working at I-90 Service for over 25 years on mechanical services such as brakes, struts, suspension and other mechanical duties. Scott promises to give the same great service customers have come to expect since 1939.

Best 35$ spent Eric helped my brother and Aunt when my family and I are traveling across country. He pulled out another vehicle to get ours in to check it out and behold this tiny thing caused so much racket. Thanks Eric

We were in the hills for a vacation when we noticed our brakes grinding terribly. We were referred to Eric and crew at Royal Wheel Alignment who got us in that afternoon, replaced our brake pads and rotors and had us back on the road in a couple hours.

Great job! We were traveling through the area pulling our travel trailer when the truck brakes started to grind. We called them and they got us in quickly and back on the road.

Had an axle on my Grand Design that was out of alignment. Called and told them when I would be in their area and would they be able to take care of my issue. I was told yes and when I could bring my trailer in. I dropped it off at that time, found out I had more the one axle out of alignment. They fixed everything in a timely manner, and at a great price. Back on the road.

Did coil overs on my 2019 Mustang GT. Did a great job used caster plates that came with aftermarket coil over kit even though it was not easy to use them to adjust alighnment. Got the specks in the sweet spot. Would recommend to all.

Royal has always treated me well, before and after recent the change in ownership. They have aligned a bunch of old Ford trucks for me that have TTB front suspensions that other places won't touch, and they always turn out great. Keep up the good work.

One of the best places I've been to. Anytime I need drive train work it's the first place I think of

Had some issues with a older Ford 4x4 with oversized tires. Brought it into Royal Wheel Alignment, and told them my concerns. They quickly identified what was causing the issues. They told, and showed me what was going on, and how much it would cost to fix. I gave them the go ahead, and they corrected the issues quickly and effectively. The truck drives like a sports car now compared to what it was. Great shop, friendly courteous employees, and they definitely have some expierience and expertise in the alignment/suspension world. Will continue to use this place for all my alignment needs, and highly recommend them to anyone looking.
