The 2002 Ford Windstar: Mechanic
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2002 Ford Windstar, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Before the shop sees your Windstar
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Its powertrain is the 3.8L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. 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. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Your rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
When you know your dates
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
