Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1996 GMC Jimmy needs a wheel alignment? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your Jimmy and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 4.3L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
Who does what
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
