The 1981 Jeep Cherokee: Wheel alignment

Your 1981 Jeep Cherokee 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.

Details the shop needs

Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.

Our part and the shop's part

You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.

Your rental while you wait

Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.

Before the shop starts

Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.

Small things that help

Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
