Arranging the work for the Legacy
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a wheel alignment on the 1998 Subaru Legacy, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your Legacy and the shop
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Legacy. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
What to send us
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Between shop visits
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Ask us
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
