Wheel alignment: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a wheel alignment on the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Your Eclipse and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Eclipse. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Make a request
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.
