Winter tires for the 2001 Kia Optima
Your 2001 Kia Optima needs a winter tire change? We arrange it with a trusted shop, the work is done by the shop and not by CarmaCars, and we rent you a car meanwhile. Winter tires are worth fitting before the first snow.
Your Optima and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The engine is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Keep moving meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Talking to the shop
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
