Arranging the work for the Tracer
Your 1998 Mercury Tracer 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.
Before the shop sees your Tracer
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Tracer. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Stay on the road
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Talking to the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
One more step
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
