Wheel alignment for the 1985 BMW 3 Series
For a wheel alignment on your 1985 BMW 3 Series, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. It runs the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
Who does what
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. 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
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
A short checklist
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Let us know
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
Request wheel alignment
