Vinny's Alignment

Jan 07, 2025

Overcharging for some mechanical works. Overclaim the problems after inspection. End up fixing those problems for half the price at other shops.

I took my van to Vinny's to get an alignment, after I picked it up and drove two miles, hit a bump in the road and the car shifted 2 feet. All I know is it wasn't doing this before I took it there. Took it to another shop they said I needed a sway bar and links and no way any mechanic with half a brain couldn't see that. It's running fine now. Will never take another vehicle there.

I found a >1" screw in my tire Jake got me in and plugged right away. I didn't need a whole new tire. God is good. 2 years ago, I got break pads and rotors replaced with no line and no caliper work done for $300 less than I was quoted for around 2 miles away in PGH. It is worth the drive. Quick service and friendly help, walk into N. Oakland from there.

I love this place, every time I have an issue with tires or alignment I go right to Vinny's. Cheap prices, super fast turnaround, and consistently the BEST service of any automotive shop I have taken my car to in Pittsburgh. They are always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they take the time to explain the details to their customers in a way that anyone can understand. Can't recommend them enough, I look forward to every visit

I cannot give a good review because the car was pulling to the right after the alignment. The owner claimed everything was perfectly done even when it obviously wasn’t. There were two issues, which I learned about at two other independent services. 1. Stuck screws that prevented full wheel alignment. 2. Lower control arms to be replaced, as otherwise wheel alignment would not hold for long… Question remains, why did they do wheel alignment in the first place??!! Why didn’t they tell me about these issues??!!

Came here to get a custom allignment, vinney was very upfront and knowledgeable about my vehicle and what I should expect (98’ civic on it’s nuts). Showed me the vehicle throughout the alignment and consulted w me the whole time, will 100% come here again for future alignments. Very reasonable price as well for the extra work involved as well. Got my camber and toe spot on, and gave me suggestions on how to fix what wasn’t able to be alligned.

I was in a pinch with a screw in my tire while at work. They got me in first thing as soon as I got there and I had a great chat with the woman at the desk while I waited. I appreciate their attention to my need to get back to work quickly. I would definitely go back for my tire needs in the future.

I was in urgent need of tires and this shop saved me! Extremely friendly, got me in and out same day, and as well quoted me for a VERY reasonable price. I will absolutely be back! :)

I went here with my lowered vehicle to get it aligned, which they said they could. However, during the alignment, they mentioned that a lot of the parameters were non adjustable (which is true) and that would make it impossible to have both the wheels and the steering wheel straight. I left with a very crooked steering wheel thinking I was out of options and was also charged a hefty sum (179.99) for alignment. Following this, I found a different shop that was able to completely fix my alignment making the car drive straight with a straight steering wheel, only for 79.99. Moreover, when the second shop checked my alignment, they explained to me how out of spec my car was, which was caused due to getting the alignment here.

My Hyundai Kona threw its timing chain. Mega-problem. Had it towed to Vinny's where they did the diagnosis, confirmed it was the timing chain. Here is where it gets interesting. They called the Hyundai dealership, confirmed the repairs would be covered by warranty (congrats Hyundai), and then called me to tell me to have the car towed to the dealer where they would do the repairs under warranty for free (actual cost was about $1500). THIS is what I call outstanding service. They could have just done the repair and billed me. They did not. I paid $100 for their diagnosis and saved $1400. That is what I call integrity.

Great service. I called ahead for an appointment and the work was done quickly. Note that there is a 4 percent fee for credit/debit so bring cash.

I needed one of my vehicles aligned asap because it had to be back on the road at 2pm I called at 9am he squeezed me in and had me done at 1230. Amazing work I highly recommend. The prices are amazing. I have a fleet over 100 vehicles and he is my new guy

This place saved me when I found myself in a bind just hours before I was supposed to be on the road for a long drive. After noticing a nail in my tire before I was about to leave, I called about 5 places before settling on Vinny's. I spoke with Joe on the phone, who explained that they were very busy but could help me out if I could come in right away. He removed the nail and patched my tire up in about 5 mins and sent me on my way. Would definitely come back to this place for any other auto needs!

Vinny got my truck in asap, explained exactly what was going on with the issues my truck was having.

Feb 07, 2023

horrible service but cheap prices (always bad for business)… 😅💀 went for an alignment 2/3 times for them to say they couldn’t fix what they broke and for them to lie about they couldn’t do it because of the back axel was bent which was false… my dealership said it had nothing to do with the back at all. And to make it worse the receptionists was in office smoking a cigarette upon walking in 🤢 to make matters worse they aligned my truck 2 times prior to them saying they couldn’t align it the 3rd time… paper work proves everything and if you want to mess up your vehicles(alignment) then I suggest going to vinny’s if not go elsewhere !!! via the picture is what they had left my truck 💀💀💀🤡

i blew my tire today, and they were the only shop that was able to help me. and when i couldn’t drive my car because the tire came off the rim, they sent a tech over to help me out! thank you vinny’s!!

Be careful. Especially if you don’t know cars. My vehicle was pulling to one side. I thought it was the tire. He swore it was the control arm. Charged me $700 for the fix. 3 days later my vehicle still had a nasty pull. Took it back and told me the tire was bad. Another $150. Proceed with caution. Check around first.

I walked in talked to KiKi. I was having issues with 2 of my tires. I was satisfied with the price and the quick service. Kiki was awesome, friendly, honest. I'll never go anywhere else for my car needs. Thanks KiKi
