Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1986 Porsche 944 needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Before the shop sees your 944
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Stay on the road
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Car care, briefly
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
A short checklist
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
One more step
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
