What happens in the bay
Six jobs. One building. Nothing goes down the road.
Most tire shops this size fit the tires and send the car somewhere else to be set straight, repaired, or lifted onto a post. Bailey's owns the rack, the balancer, the lift and the stock, all in the same building at 1151 St Charles Street. That is not marketing language, it is the reason the alignment happens the same visit the tires go on, and the reason the sign on the front of the shop has carried these words since 1977: brakes, shocks, alignments, C V shafts.
Below is the full list, starting with the job most shops this size cannot do themselves.
The differentiator
The showroom wall
Seven brands, and the stock to back them up.
Cooper, Mastercraft, Falken, Hercules, Delinte, Dick Cepek and Mickey Thompson sit on the wall in the showroom, highway tires next to mud terrains, because a lot of what comes through the door in this parish is a work truck.
Fitting
New tires
Cooper, Mastercraft, Falken, Hercules, Delinte, Dick Cepek and Mickey Thompson are on the wall in the showroom. If your size is not on the shelf, we order it in. TPMS gets relearned and every wheel gets torqued to spec before you leave the bay.
Tire repair and TPMS relearn
A puncture gets repaired instead of replaced where the damage allows it. The sensor is relearned afterward, so the light on the dash actually goes out instead of sitting there until your next oil change.
Chassis
Brakes
Brakes has been one of the four words painted across our building for a long time. That includes diagnosing a faulty ABS sensor instead of swapping parts until the warning light happens to clear.
Suspension, shocks and CV shafts
Shocks, struts, CV shafts and a full chassis and steering inspection. We are an authorised MotoFab Lifts dealer too, so a levelling kit gets fitted here, with the alignment afterward a lifted truck needs and often does not get.
1151 St Charles Street
None of this is sublet.
The rack, the balancer, the lift and the stock are all in the one building. Drive in during opening hours and get in the queue, or call ahead if you are after a particular size.
