Arranging the work for the 9-5
For a wheel alignment on the 2001 Saab 9-5, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your 9-5 and the shop
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. If you have the service history of your 9-5, have it ready for the shop. Its powertrain is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A rental while you wait
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 covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Small things that help
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
