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.
Understanding the Alignment Process
Vehicle alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels to match the manufacturer's original specifications. This ensures your vehicle drives straight while maximizing tire life and improving overall performance.
Here’s how our alignment process benefits you:
- Diagnosing Issues: Using advanced machinery, our technicians accurately diagnose alignment issues that might be affecting tire wear and vehicle handling.
- Comprehensive Adjustments: We perform necessary adjustments to ensure your wheels are perfectly aligned, addressing toe, camber, and caster angles.
In addition to mechanical adjustments, we also offer advice on routine maintenance practices that can maintain alignment integrity over time. For example, routine tire rotation and balancing can prevent uneven wear and the onset of alignment issues, keeping your vehicle in prime condition longer.
