Arranging the work for the Flex
For a safety certificate on the 2011 Ford Flex, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
About your Flex
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 3.5L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Small things that help
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Ready when you are
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
Request safety certificate
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.
