Wheel alignment for the 1985 Porsche 944
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 1985 Porsche 944, we connect you with a trusted shop. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 944. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
From request to repair
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A car while yours is in the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Car care, briefly
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
One more step
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
