Wheel alignment: how we help
Need a wheel alignment for the 1996 Dodge Stratus? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your car, your notes
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Stratus, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
From request to repair
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Stay on the road
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Ready when you are
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
