Arranging the work for the Cougar
Need a wheel alignment for your 1997 Mercury Cougar? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your Cougar
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.8L 6-cylinder. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Cougar. Its powertrain is the 3.8L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
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 pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A rental while you wait
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
