Wheel alignment: how we help
Need a wheel alignment for your 1982 Mercury Lynx? 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.
Before the shop sees your Lynx
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.
How we help
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Ready when you are
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.
