Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1996 Jeep Cherokee needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
About your Cherokee
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How the request works
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Ready when you are
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
