The 1985 BMW 5 Series: Wheel alignment
Wheel alignment for the 1985 BMW 5 Series: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your 5 Series, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.4L 6-cylinder. The powertrain to know here is the 2.4L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Between shop visits
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Get an offer
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
