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.


Importance of Wheel Alignments
Tire alignment involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle's wheels to match the manufacturer's specifications. Proper alignment enhances your car’s handling, improves fuel efficiency, and extends the life of your tires.

By maintaining correct alignment, you reduce these risks and enjoy a smoother driving experience.
