Arranging the work for the Lynx
For a wheel alignment on your 1983 Mercury Lynx, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
About your Lynx
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Lynx. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
Who does what
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Your rental while you wait
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
A short checklist
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
