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 Crucial?
Proper wheel alignment ensures your vehicle handles correctly, which is critical for safe driving. Misalignment can cause your car to pull to one side, lead to rapid tire wear, and increase fuel consumption. It interferes with braking distance, especially on Oviedo's varied terrains, making it essential to address alignment issues promptly for your safety and vehicle longevity.
Misaligned wheels can lead to:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Misalignment results in uneven pressure across tires, wearing them out quicker.
- Improved Handling: Correct alignment improves steering accuracy and vehicle stability.
- Fuel Efficiency: Aligned wheels reduce rolling resistance, enhancing fuel economy.
Alignment isn’t just about maintaining equipment—it’s about ensuring your entire vehicle operates at peak performance. For those who often commute to nearby Orlando or enjoy weekend trips to the beaches, a well-aligned vehicle keeps the journey pleasant and reduces the risk of mechanical hiccups along the way.
