The 2002 Kia Optima: Winter tires
Winter tires for your 2002 Kia Optima: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Winter tires grip better in cold, snow and ice than all-season tires.
Your Optima and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Optima. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.4L 4-cylinder. The 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What we arrange
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Your rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We collect the rental when your car is back. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Between shop visits
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
What to ask
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Over to you
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.
