Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1990 Mercury Cougar needs a wheel alignment? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your Cougar, have it ready for the shop. Power: the 3.8L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive.
Who does what
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. 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.
A rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Ready when you are
Describe the problem, and we arrange 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.
