How Often Should I Get an Oil Change?
It is recommended that you get an oil change every 5,000 -15,000 miles (depending on the type of oil used) or 6 months. Checking the owner's manual will also offer insight into when the oil should be changed, which can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
Do I Have to Pay For a Recall?
When a manufacturer issues a recall for a specific make and model of vehicle, you are not liable to pay for anything relating to the service appointment. The only thing that you have to provide is your vehicle and the time. Any parts that are needed for the recall will be provided by the manufacturer of your vehicle. The labor at our service department is also taken care of by the manufacturer.
When Should I Replace my Tires?
Tires should be replaced on your vehicle when you notice that your current set is starting to break down or wear down. For example, you can use the tread test to determine if your tread is getting too low. You place a penny upside-down inside the tread. If you can see any of Lincoln’s head, then it’s getting close to needing new tires. You’ll also want to watch out for cracks in the rubber or uneven tread wear.

What Services Does Your Maintenance Department Cover?
Our service department covers many different routines, preventive and repair services. It’s important that you have routine work done to your vehicle. This will protect its integrity and keep it running reliably. We complete oil changes, tire rotations, alignments, brake service, and recall work, among many other jobs. If you need routine maintenance completed on your vehicle or suspect that there is a problem with your vehicle, stop down to make an appointment.
Do I Need an Appointment, or Can I Just Show Up?
Appointments can be beneficial, but are not mandatory.
Will My Warranty Cover My Repairs?
A warranty is designed to cover the majority of your repairs and service, but there will be work that isn’t covered. Generally, this includes normal wear and tear. Check with our service team to find out if your needed repair is going to cost you anything.
