Arranging the work for the CTS
Your 2008 Cadillac CTS needs a wheel alignment? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your CTS and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your CTS, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.6L 6-cylinder. The 3.6L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Who does what
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Small things that help
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Send a request
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.
