What to Expect With an Alignment
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
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
It's important to recognize the signs of misalignment early to avoid long-term damage to your vehicle.
Look out for the following indicators:
- Vehicle Pulling: If your car drifts to the right or left while driving straight, it may be time for an alignment check.
- Uneven Tire Wear: Unequal wear patterns on your tires can indicate alignment issues.
- Steering Wheel Vibration: A vibrating steering wheel, especially at higher speeds, can be a symptom of out-of-alignment wheels.
- Off-Center Steering: If your steering wheel doesn't return to the center after a turn, alignment might be needed.
Regular inspections are crucial to catch these signs early. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to more costly repairs and increase the risk of accidents. Proper wheel alignment improves road contact and handling precision, significantly enhancing the driving experience and your vehicle's safety profile.
