Arranging the work for the F-450
Need a wheel alignment for your 2005 Ford F-450? 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.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
How the arrangement works
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
A short checklist
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. 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.
One more step
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
