Wheel alignment: how we help
Need a wheel alignment for your 1998 Ford F-800? 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.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your F-800, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
Who does what
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
When you know your dates
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
