Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.

A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
If you're concerned about the tread on your tires, we recommend the “penny test” to check your tread depth. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.
Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment
Identifying the signs of misalignment early can save you from costly repairs:
- Vehicle Pulls to One Side: If your car drifts even on a straight road, it's time for an alignment check.
- Uneven Tire Wear: Check your tires for patterns of uneven wear; it’s a clear indicator.
- Steering Wheel Vibration: A vibrating wheel can signal alignment issues.
Detecting these early signs can significantly enhance your vehicle’s safety on the roads of Cumming.
In addition to these signs, drivers may also experience a noticeable increase in road noise when alignment issues arise. A misaligned wheel can alter the vehicle’s contact with the road, resulting in unusual sounds, particularly at higher speeds. Keeping an ear out for such noises can help identify alignment problems early, thus preventing further complications.
