Houma, Louisiana · since 1977
Bailey's Tire Service has been on St Charles Street for forty nine years, with its own Hunter alignment rack on the floor. Drive in, get in the queue, and talk to the man who is going to do the work.
The shop
Most places this size fit the tires and send you down the road to somebody else to have the car set straight. That second stop is where the new set quietly starts wearing on one shoulder, because nobody who fitted them ever saw the numbers.
Ours is a Hunter drive-on rack with a road force balancer standing next to it, in our own bay, on our own floor. The tires go on and the geometry gets checked in the same visit, by the same people, before you drive off St Charles Street.
We have been doing it here since 1977. No appointment book, no service advisor between you and the work. You come in, you get in the queue, and someone tells you straight what the car needs.

Since 1977
The rack in this photograph is the whole argument. It sits in our bay, not in somebody else's shop across town, which is why a set fitted here can be set straight before you drive off.
What happens in the bay
Nothing on this list gets sublet. The rack, the balancer, the lift and the stock are all in the same building on St Charles Street.
Our rack, our floor
The alignment rack is our own equipment. A Hunter drive-on rack with a road force balancer beside it, which is why alignments is one of the words painted across the front of the building. Nothing goes down the road to somebody else's shop.

Walk the floor
This is our own photograph of our own bay. Not a stock library, not a rendering of somebody else's workshop.
The showroom
Highway patterns, all terrains and mud terrains stand on the floor and hang on the wall. Choosing a set off a screen is guesswork. Choosing one you have walked around is not.
What people say
We have not cherry picked a perfect score, because we do not have one. What we have is a lot of people who came back. These are their words, from our Google listing.
Call the shop“I was having trouble finding a set of staggered size tires for a 30+ year old vehicle. I'd been searching online without much luck. When I came into the shop they were able to help me find something affordable, without any hassle. The tires came in quickly from out of state and Bailey's had them installed before lunch.”
“These guys squeezed me in even as busy as they are, and were reasonable on pricing and care for your motor vehicle like as if it's their own personals. Great pricing great crew”
