Arranging the work for the Prius
For a wheel alignment on the 2003 Toyota Prius, 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 Prius
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.5L 4-cylinder hybrid. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. It runs the 1.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
The rental is priced like any other on our site. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What to ask
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Good habits for your car
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Ready to ask?
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
