Arranging the work for the RAV4
For a wheel alignment on the 1997 Toyota RAV4, 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.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your RAV4, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the RAV4. It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Talking to the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Ready when you are
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.
