The 1997 Lotus Esprit: Wheel alignment
Your 1997 Lotus Esprit 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.
Your Esprit and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
From request to repair
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
A short checklist
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Good habits for your car
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Questions first?
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
