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.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment
Key indicators of misaligned wheels include:
- Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle drifts to the right or left on a straight road, it could be a sign of misalignment.
- Uneven Tire Wear: Tires wearing out more on one side indicate that your wheels might not be properly aligned.
- Steering Wheel Vibrations: Feeling vibrations through the steering wheel? This can be a major indicator of alignment issues.
- Off-Center Steering Wheel: If the steering wheel isn't centered when driving straight, it's time to have your alignment checked.
