Wheel alignment: how we help
The 1998 Dodge Stratus and a wheel alignment: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your Stratus
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
How the arrangement works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
What to ask
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Next step
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
