Arranging the work for the Flex
Your 2014 Ford Flex needs a winter tire change? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Storing your off-season tires is often something the shop can arrange.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Flex. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder. The 3.5L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
From request to repair
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Ask us
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
