  • How do I know when I need new tires?

    Check tread depth with the penny test: if you see all of Lincoln's head, replace the tires. Look for tread wear indicators and sidewall damage like bulges or cracks. Tires older than 6-10 years should be replaced. If your car handles poorly or vibrates, consider new tires.

  • What are the signs that my car needs an alignment?

    If your car pulls to one side, tires wear unevenly, the steering wheel isn't centered, or you hear squealing tires, you likely need an alignment. Request an appointment today to get your tires aligned!
