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.
Car Alignment
Car alignment, also known as front end alignment or 4-wheel alignment, involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle's wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Over time, your vehicle's alignment can get out of adjustment due to normal wear and tear, potholes, curb impacts, or other factors. It's essential to get your car's alignment checked regularly to prevent uneven tire wear, poor handling, and reduced fuel efficiency.
4 Wheel Alignment
A 4-wheel alignment, as the name suggests, involves aligning all four wheels of your vehicle. This type of alignment is recommended for vehicles with independent rear suspension, as all four wheels play a significant role in maintaining proper alignment and handling. Our technicians will carefully measure and adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles of all four wheels to ensure optimal performance and safety.
