The 2008 Saab 9-5: Wheel alignment
For a wheel alignment on the 2008 Saab 9-5, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Before the shop sees your 9-5
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9-5. The powertrain here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
