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 Your Vehicle Needs Alignment
Over time, various factors such as potholes, curb impacts, and normal wear and tear can cause your vehicle's alignment to become misaligned. Some common signs that your vehicle may need an alignment include:
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Pulling to one side while driving
- Steering wheel vibration
- Off-center steering wheel
- Vehicle drifting or veering to one side
If you notice any of these signs, it is crucial to have your alignment checked and corrected as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure your safety on the road.
