Arranging the work for the Escape
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 2006 Ford Escape, we connect you with a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
About your Escape
If you have the service history of your Escape, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Escape. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Its 2.3L 4-cylinder hybrid drives through an automatic (CVT).
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Good habits for your car
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Send a request
