Car diagnostics: how we help
For a diagnostic check on your 2005 Ford Explorer, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your Explorer, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. It runs the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
