Arranging the work for the Ranger
Wheel alignment for your 1986 Ford Ranger: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your Ranger and the shop
If you have the service history of your Ranger, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.3L 4-cylinder. It is powered by the 2.3L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
Who does what
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Over to you
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
