The 1999 Ford Contour: Wheel alignment
Wheel alignment for the 1999 Ford Contour: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Before the shop sees your Contour
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Contour. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
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. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. 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.
Car care, briefly
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.

Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
