The 2004 Ford Explorer: Winter tires
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a winter tire change on the 2004 Ford Explorer we arrange a trusted shop. Tires are swapped, balanced and checked for wear, and the shop sets its own price and time.
Details the shop needs
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your Explorer, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 4.0L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic.
What we arrange
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Your rental while you wait
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Getting a clear quote
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Good habits for your car
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Over to you
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.
