Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 1986 Mazda 626, we connect you with a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
About your 626
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 626, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. 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. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Send a request
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
