Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a wheel alignment on the 1988 Audi 5000, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your 5000
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The powertrain to know here is the 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Small things that help
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Before the shop starts
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Send a request
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request wheel alignment
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
