Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 2020 BMW 3 Series, we connect you with a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Details the shop needs
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 3 Series, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How we help
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
A car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Your move
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
