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.


How Do I Know If I Need Wheel Alignment?
Some of the signs that you need wheel alignment in Brandon include and aren't limited to:
- Uneven tire wear
- Cupped wear/tire scalloping
- Squealing tires
- Steering wheel pulling to one side
- Diminished handling capability
Misaligned wheels create additional drag, which forces the vehicle to work harder and, consequently, burn more fuel. This increased consumption not only impacts your wallet but also the environment. By maintaining proper alignment, you help to minimize unnecessary fuel use and emissions, making it a step towards a more eco-friendly vehicle operation.
