Wheel alignment: how we help
Need a wheel alignment for the 1985 GMC Pickup? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Before the shop sees your Pickup
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Pickup. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What CarmaCars does here
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. 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.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Ready when you are
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
