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.
Why Wheel Alignments Matter
When your vehicle's tires are properly aligned, you’ll experience smoother driving and improved fuel efficiency. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, steering wheel vibration, and the car pulling to one side. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent more costly repairs down the road.
For the residents of Waunakee, where weather conditions can vary greatly, maintaining alignment is even more critical. The fluctuating temperatures can impact your tire pressure and alignment over time, making regular checks a wise investment in your vehicle’s longevity and safety.
