Wheel alignment: how we help
Wheel alignment for the 1990 Ford Ranger: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your car, your notes
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Ranger, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The engine is the 2.3L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Talking to the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Next step
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
