Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1988 Mazda 626 needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 626.
How the arrangement works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Questions to ask the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Good habits for your car
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Next step
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request wheel alignment
