Mechanic: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2005 Ford Explorer, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.0L 6-cylinder. The 4.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it.
Who does what
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Ask us
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request mechanic
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.
