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.

Wheel alignment is crucial for maintaining the overall performance and longevity of your vehicle. When your wheels are properly aligned, it ensures that all four tires are pointing in the same direction, parallel to each other, and perpendicular to the ground. This helps to:
- Improve steering control
- Enhance tire life
- Ensure even tire wear
- Optimize fuel efficiency
- Provide a smoother and more comfortable ride
