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.

A properly aligned vehicle provides:
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: When wheels are aligned, your car doesn’t have to work as hard, leading to better mileage.
- Enhanced Safety: Aligned wheels give you better control, crucial for navigating sharp turns and steep inclines common in Colorado.
- Extended Tire Life: Evenly worn tires last longer, saving you money on replacements and maintaining optimal road grip.
Regular alignment checks can also help identify other underlying mechanical issues affecting your vehicle's performance. Components like suspension and steering systems can suffer from wear and tear over time, especially when exposed to the challenging driving conditions in areas like Colorado Springs.
By addressing these issues early, you can prevent more costly repairs down the road and ensure your vehicle remains in top condition.
