Arranging the work for the Flex
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a winter tire change on the 2017 Ford Flex we arrange a trusted shop. Winter tires are worth fitting before the first snow.
Before the shop sees your Flex
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
The steps
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ask us
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
