Arranging the work for the Colt
Need a wheel alignment for your 1985 Dodge Colt? 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.
Your Colt and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.5L 4-cylinder. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 1.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed manual.
How we help
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
