The 1996 Acura RL: Wheel alignment
Searching for wheel alignment for the 1996 Acura RL? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Your RL and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The powertrain to know here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Good habits for your car
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Getting a clear quote
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
