Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1985 Mercury Capri needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your Capri and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It is powered by the 2.3L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Over to you
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
