Arranging the work for the XK8
For a wheel alignment on the 1998 Jaguar XK8, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop; the work is done there, not by CarmaCars. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
About your XK8
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the XK8. If you have the service history of your XK8, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Its powertrain is the 4.0L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Good habits for your car
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Next step
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
Request wheel alignment
