Wheel alignment: how we help
Wheel alignment for your 1983 Ford Thunderbird: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your Thunderbird
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. 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 we help
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Your rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Before the shop starts
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Ask us
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
