Arranging the work for the CTS
The 2009 Cadillac CTS and a wheel alignment: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Before the shop sees your CTS
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 3.6L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic.
How the arrangement works
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Before the shop starts
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Questions first?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
