The 1987 Dodge Lancer: Wheel alignment
The 1987 Dodge Lancer and a wheel alignment: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
About your Lancer
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Lancer. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The engine is the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
The steps
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Talking to the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.

Start with the car, the job and your location.
