Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a wheel alignment on the 1997 Lincoln Continental we arrange a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your Continental and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Under the hood: the 4.6L 8-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Send a request
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
