Wheel alignment: how we help
The 2018 BMW 3 Series and a wheel alignment: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-speed automatic.
How the request works
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Before the shop starts
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
One more step
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
