Wheel alignment: how we help
Need a wheel alignment for your 1990 Ford Escort? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your Escort
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. It uses the 1.9L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
How the request works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Stay on the road
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Questions first?
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
