Mater was a private investigator solving mysteries. It was 7:15 on a Friday night, Mater was in his office reading different newspapers about counterfeit tires. Tia comes in the room and Mater asks what she wants. Tia says that her sister, Mia, has been [[File:Mater private eye mia tia trailer.png|thumb|left|200px|Mia and Tia as they appear in ''Mater Private Eye''.]]carnapped. Tia says that she last saw Mia working for [[Big D]] at his night club, the [[Carbacabana]]. Mater goes to the night club and asks a singer named [[Carmen]] if she's seen Mia anywhere. Carmen says that she saw her a few days ago with Big D and that she smelled salty, like the ocean. Then, one of Big D's henchmen, [[Clyde]], kicks Mater out and breaks one of his headlights for being nosy. Mater then goes to a garbage truck named [[Stinky]] and asks him what the "dirt" on the street is. He says he doesn't know, that he's just throwing out lots of flat tires. He says, "It's odd though." because they all smell salty and that he hasn't smelled anything like that ever since he was working at the docks. Then, Mater takes off to the docks. After trying to sneak in by wearing boxes over himself, Big D's henchmen see him and dangle him over the ocean waters. Tia shows up, begging them not to hurt him. Mater now finds out that Tia double-crossed him. Tia claims that she only did it because it was the only way to save her sister. But just before they're going to throw him in the ocean, Lieutenant Lightning McQueen and other police cars arrive. Tia then sets Mater free and he stops Big D by throwing a box on top of him. The box breaks, revealing counterfeit tires. The police then take Big D away to jail.

She soon saves Mater when McQueen and the police come to arrest Big D.

General information

Physical descriptions

MiaTiaCarsTheVideoGameArtwork

Mia and Tia's most recognizable appearance.

Mia and Tia are 1992 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NA) cars, inspiring their names. As of the second film, their hoods now have the Hudson Hornet Piston Cup logo on them. While both have gone through many paint jobs throughout the series, the general style given is their Lightning McQueen one. They are painted red, with a black roof, and are covered everywhere with Lightning McQueen stickers.

Personalities and traits

Mia and Tia have been shown to be very enthusiastic, as they go nuts whenever they get a look at their favorite racer. They also seem to change their minds a lot, as they went from being fans of Lightning to being fans of Chick, and then back to being fans of Lightning.

Occupations

Mia and Tia have had various different roles throughout the series, their most notable displays in the Cars Toons short films.

In Rescue Squad Mater, Mia and Tia appear to be Mater's assistants, as they are both brought along when Mater gets a report of a fire, and later help him perform the operation on Lightning McQueen to cure him of his burn damage. However, in the other shorts, including Mater the Greater, El Materdor, Tokyo Mater, Heavy Metal Mater, Monster Truck Mater, Moon Mater, and Air Mater, Mia and Tia seem to just be fans of Mater, their appearances matching Mater's modifications and paint schemes.

In Unidentified Flying Mater, Mia and Tia apparently have some type of occupation revolving around the military base.
