Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a wheel alignment on the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The engine is the 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT).
Our part and the shop's part
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
