Car diagnostics: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a diagnostic check on the 2018 Ford Flex, we connect you with a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your Flex, have it ready for the shop. Its powertrain is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before the shop starts
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Good habits for your car
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Next step
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
