Arranging the work for the Model S
For a wheel alignment on the 2021 Tesla Model S, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the electric motor. Power: the electric motor; drive: all-wheel drive.
The steps
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Stay on the road
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions first?
Start with a short request; a person replies 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.
