The 2018 Ford Flex: Winter tires
Winter tires for the 2018 Ford Flex: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Winter tires grip better in cold, snow and ice than all-season tires.
About your Flex
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Flex. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the tire size printed on the sidewall; it differs by trim. The 3.5L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic.
How the request works
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. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Good habits for your car
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Ready when you are
Ask in your request, 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.
