Arranging the work for the 825
Wheel alignment for the 1987 Sterling 825: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your 825
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. It uses the 2.5L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
What to send us
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
What to ask
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Next 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.
