Arranging the work for the Riviera
Your 1997 Buick Riviera needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Your Riviera and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It runs the 3.8L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
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 bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Still deciding?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
