The 1986 Pontiac 6000: Wheel alignment
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 1986 Pontiac 6000, we connect you with a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your 6000, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 3-speed automatic.
What to send us
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Your rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Next step
Ask, 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.
