Wheel alignment: how we help
Your 1988 Subaru XT needs a wheel alignment? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.8L 4-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the XT. The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Who does what
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Your rental while you wait
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
One more step
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
