Arranging the work for the Cherokee
For a wheel alignment on the 1987 Jeep Cherokee, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
About your Cherokee
If you have the service history of your Cherokee, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Cherokee. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 2.5L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
The steps
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Getting a clear quote
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Ready when you are
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
