The 1981 Buick Skylark: Wheel alignment
The 1981 Buick Skylark and a wheel alignment: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Details the shop needs
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
A short checklist
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Get an offer
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
