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 Proper Alignment Matters in Star
Driving in Star poses unique challenges due to local road conditions and the impact of seasonal changes.
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for:
- Improved Safety: Misaligned wheels can cause your vehicle to pull to one side, increasing the risk of accidents, especially on busy Star highways.
- Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: An aligned vehicle optimizes fuel use, saving you money and reducing environmental impact in a city like Star.
- Tire Longevity: Regular alignment checks prevent uneven tire wear, extending tire life and ensuring better handling.
In addition to these benefits, proper wheel alignment can also significantly enhance your driving experience. Misalignment may lead to vibrations and noise that affect the smoothness of your ride.
