Wheel alignment: how we help
Wheel alignment for the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your Cavalier
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Cavalier. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 2.2L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. 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 car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Getting a clear quote
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Questions first?
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
Request wheel alignment
