Arranging the work for the 780
For a wheel alignment on your 1988 Volvo 780, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Hitting a pothole hard can knock the wheels out of line.
About your 780
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The powertrain to know here is the 2.8L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
From request to repair
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
One more step
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
