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.
Common Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment
Be proactive in maintaining your vehicle by watching for these alignment issues:
- Vehicle Pulling: If your car veers to one side, it may need alignment.
- Vibration in Steering Wheel: Indicates misalignment affecting steering components.
- Uneven Tire Wear: Spot premature wear on tires due to misaligned wheels.
Addressing these signs early prevents more severe problems and extends the life of your tires. Recognizing these symptoms can alert you to the immediate need for an alignment service, but keeping a regular schedule is equally important. We recommend checking the alignment with every tire rotation or during seasonal maintenance to ensure your vehicle operates optimally throughout the year.
Habitual alignment maintenance is particularly important for those frequently traveling on uneven roads or carrying heavy loads that might affect alignment stability. Skipping these crucial checks could compromise vehicle performance and safety.
