Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 1983 Mercury Zephyr, we connect you with a trusted shop. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Before the shop sees your Zephyr
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
The steps
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Getting a clear quote
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Get an offer
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
