Arranging the work for the 626
For a wheel alignment on your 1996 Mazda 626, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your 626
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
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 do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
A short checklist
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
