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.
Why Is Wheel Alignment Important?
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for safe driving and vehicle longevity. When your wheels are correctly aligned, your vehicle enjoys improved handling, reduced tire wear, and better fuel efficiency. It can also prevent premature wear on your suspension system, reducing repair costs over time.
Misaligned wheels can cause a host of problems, including:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Misalignment causes tires to wear unevenly, reducing their lifespan and affecting vehicle safety.
- Decreased Fuel Efficiency: Poor alignment can lead to increased fuel consumption as your vehicle works harder to maintain control.
Proper wheel alignment also supports smoother driving experiences, enhancing comfort on short commutes and longer road trips. It helps ensure the steering wheel remains stable, providing better control on highways and during inclement weather, which is especially crucial for Grayson’s diverse climate conditions. Furthermore, regular alignment checks can be pivotal in maintaining your vehicle’s warranty, as some warranties require documentation of proper and periodic vehicle maintenance.
