Wheel alignment for the 2005 Mazda RX-8
Wheel alignment for the 2005 Mazda RX-8: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Your RX-8 and the shop
If you have the service history of your RX-8, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the RX-8. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 1.3L 2-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
A short checklist
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Between shop visits
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Get an offer
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
Request wheel alignment
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
