Arranging the work for the Explorer
For a winter tire change on the 2001 Ford Explorer, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Winter tires grip better in cold, snow and ice than all-season tires.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.0L 6-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Its powertrain is the 4.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A car while yours is in the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Between shop visits
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Get an offer
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request winter tires
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.
