Searching for wheel alignment for the 1997 GMC Suburban? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 5.7L 8-cylinder. If you have the service history of your Suburban, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The engine is the 5.7L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
What to send us
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You approve the shop's quote before any work. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
