Arranging the work for the Flex
For an oil change on the 2016 Ford Flex, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Engine oil and its filter are changed on the schedule in your owner's manual, by distance or by time.
Your car, your notes
The owner's manual for the Flex gives the oil change interval and the oil grade. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
How we help
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
A short checklist
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
