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.
Understanding Inver Grove Heights' Unique Driving Conditions
The road conditions and climate of Inver Grove Heights present unique challenges that affect vehicle alignment. Cold winters lead to the development of potholes, and summer heat expands roads, making frequent alignments crucial to ensure your vehicle remains unaffected by these changes. Addressing alignment issues promptly can prevent long-term damage caused by these environmental factors.
This region's varying climate necessitates adaptable vehicle maintenance strategies. Drivers should be aware that seasonal changes may alter their vehicle's alignment settings, which can directly impact safety and performance. Regular check-ups help maintain optimal vehicle function, regardless of the weather, reducing wear and tear on tires and ensuring smooth, safe handling on the road.
