Arranging the work for the XJS
Need a wheel alignment for your 1987 Jaguar XJS? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 5.3L 12-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Power: the 5.3L 12-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
