The 1989 Dodge Shadow: Wheel alignment
For a wheel alignment on the 1989 Dodge Shadow, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Before the shop sees your Shadow
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 4-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. It is powered by the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
The steps
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Keep moving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Talking to the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Next step
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.
