Regular Lincoln maintenance ensures your vehicle will always work efficiently, and this helps to increase its lifespan. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to give you a few examples of the types of maintenance we can provide to keep your vehicle in great shape.
Examples of Lincoln Maintenance Available at Your Lincoln Dealer
Tire Maintenance
Healthy tires are essential to safe driving, as they grip the surface effectively and assist with faster and smoother braking. As time passes, your tire tread will wear down due to abrasion with the surface. They also suffer wear and tear from UV rays, extreme heat or cold, and sharp objects like glass or nails on the road.
We’ll examine your tires to check their tread depth, as the minimum safe tread is 2/32″. We’ll also check your tires for cracks or leaks, and we’ll test their pressure and correct it if necessary. Our technicians can test tire balance and wheel alignment, as both can increase wear and tear on your tires. If your tires are damaged, we can quickly install and balance new ones for you.
Brake Maintenance
Your brakes are a vital safety system, as they allow you to control your Lincoln’s speed. Like all mechanical systems, they will suffer wear and tear as parts age or get damaged. Worn brakes increase your stopping distance and, in extreme cases, can even fail. In addition, brakes that aren’t working effectively increase wear and tear on other vehicle systems like tires and shocks.
A brake service involves testing every braking component and checking they’re in good condition. We’ll test your brake fluid and replace it to ensure it provides the necessary hydraulic power the system needs to work effectively. Your brake pads are replaced if they’re worn, and we examine the rotors and resurface or replace them if required. Efficient brakes give you peace of mind that you can stop almost instantly whenever needed.
Battery Testing
The battery provides the initial electrical charge that causes the engine to crank and begin the combustion process. As time passes, the chemicals inside the battery break down, and this causes the battery to lose storage capacity. On average, a battery will work effectively for three to five years and will then need replacement.
Our technicians can test your battery to determine its remaining power and storage capacity. We advise getting a battery test when your battery is three years old, as this is the midpoint of its life. We’ll connect your battery to our computerized battery tester, and this machine will identify any battery weakness. If your battery is failing, we can install a new one in minutes.
