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.
What Is Wheel Alignment & Why Is It Necessary?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your vehicle's wheels to align with the manufacturer's standards. This adjustment ensures your car travels straight and doesn't veer off to one side.
Proper alignment offers multiple benefits, including:
- Tire Longevity: Prevents uneven tire wear.
- Fuel Efficiency: Optimizes fuel consumption by reducing rolling resistance.
- Improved Handling: Enhances steering precision and vehicle stability.
Ignoring misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, poor fuel efficiency, and compromised vehicle handling, making regular checks essential for all Aurora drivers.
Moreover, proper wheel alignment contributes to the overall safety of your car. Misalignment can lead to unpredictable steering behavior, increasing the risk of accidents. In emergency situations, the vehicle's ability to maneuver quickly is crucial, and alignment is critical in ensuring this capability. As a preventative measure, regular alignment checks can identify potential issues before they become serious problems, saving you from unexpected expenses and ensuring peace of mind on the road.
