Arranging the work for the Explorer
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2014 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
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Explorer. The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What to ask
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
One more step
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
