Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1983 Ford LTD needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your LTD
If you have the service history of your LTD, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Before the shop starts
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Your move
Start with a short request; a person replies 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.
