Arranging the work for the E350 Van
Your 1985 Ford E350 Van needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Before the shop sees your E350 Van
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your E350 Van, have it ready for the shop.
What we arrange
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
A short checklist
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Want a price?
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
