The 2012 Dodge Charger: Wheel alignment
Need a wheel alignment for your 2012 Dodge Charger? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Before the shop sees your Charger
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic.
What to send us
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A car meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Your move
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
