Auto Service

Lincoln Scheduled Maintenance: What Owners Should Know

Lincoln maintenance is very different from service anywhere else. It's performed by Lincoln-trained technicians who have expert knowledge of your vehicle. Their specialized knowledge and training enable them to provide the high standard of care your Lincoln deserves. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to give you some examples of the types of maintenance we provide. Examples of Lincoln Maintenance Available at Your Lincoln Dealer Tire Pressure Checks Your tires have a pre-determined pressure that allows them to work effectively and suffer minimal wear and tear in the process. The correct tire pressure for your Lincoln is determined in the design phase and is listed in your car handbook. Tire pressure will naturally change when the weather is hot or cold, as the pressure inside the tires will try to equalize with the external air pressure. Over or underinflated tires sustain more surface friction damage, causing them to wear out faster. They are also more likely to develop leaks or blowouts. The wrong tire pressure increases your stopping distance while increasing damage to other components like the axles, shocks, and brakes. We'll check your tire pressure and correct any pressure issues we find. more Wiper Blade Replacement Your wiper blades are made from high-quality rubber, enabling them to swiftly clear water or mud and give you the visibility you need. As time passes, even high-quality rubber is affected by weather conditions and age, and the rubber loses its flexibility. Less flexible rubber will crack, and cracks can cause parts of the blade to break off. Worn blades can't clean your windshield effectively, making it more difficult to see the road ahead. They can also potentially scratch the glass, and scratches will develop into cracks in the windshield. Our technicians can quickly replace worn or damaged blades to fix this problem. Radiator Hose Replacement The radiator's job is to remove engine heat to protect your engine against overheating. Heat is absorbed by the coolant and transported to the radiator, where it's removed by heat exchange. The radiator is connected to the cooling system by two tough rubber hoses, specifically engineered to withstand temperatures over 300 F. The hoses carry hot liquid under high pressure, which eventually takes its toll on the rubber. Cracks can develop, and coolant will leak out. As coolant is lost, pressure in the cooling system drops, and your engine could overheat. The clamps that securely connect the hoses to the radiator can also loosen or break. We can replace damaged hoses or fit new clamps to fix this problem. These are just a few samples of the maintenance we can perform. Regular maintenance increases your Lincoln's lifespan, as our technicians can identify minor issues and fix them to prevent them from becoming future problems.

Tire Alignment

Lincoln Wheel Alignment: Essential for Optimal Driving Performance

Picture cruising down the highway, your car's performance smooth and seamless. Suddenly, you start drifting slightly to one side. Here's an overview of why it's vital to periodically visit your local Lincoln dealership for wheel alignment. Lincoln Wheel Alignment: Essential for Optimal Driving Performance Maintain Precise and Reliable Handling The wheels of your car are under constant pressure, absorbing regular knocks from potholes, speed bumps, curbs, and rough patches of the road. These impacts steadily push the wheels out of alignment, which hinders steering and vehicle handling. As it worsens, misaligned wheels can even cause your car to pull to one side or the steering wheel to become off-center. Routine realignment brings everything back into a perfectly parallel position, returning your Lincoln's handling and performance to optimal form. more Stay Safe in Emergency Situations If anything reduces the quality of a car's steering, the driver is more at risk of losing control. In this way, misaligned wheels reduce your overall road safety, increasing the risk of skids and collisions. When our skillful technicians use computerized readouts to return your wheels to their exact OEM positioning, your safety is optimized once more. Extend the Lifespan of Your Tires Tires become worn down unevenly by the awkward pressure put onto them by any wheels angled incorrectly. This reduces traction while also shortening tire longevity. Furthermore, uneven tires accelerate wheel misalignment, worsening the problem. You can fix both issues in one swoop with a professional alignment and a tire rotation. Keep Your Drives Smooth and Quiet The ordinarily silky smooth and blissfully quiet experience of driving a Lincoln might be disrupted if the wheels have become misaligned. The mismatched wheel angles and extra friction generated cause excess road noise and vibrations. Visit Your Local Lincoln Dealership if You Experience These Symptoms If you hear your tires squealing when you corner or experience momentary losses of traction, your wheels may need realignment. Crooked steering or veering to one side are further indications of this problem, as are strange vibrations and uneven tire wear. If you notice these symptoms, don't hesitate to have your tires inspected and the alignment measured and corrected. You can prevent these problems from ever occurring with routine alignment checks, which should be carried out at least twice a year. Most drivers will need to have their wheels realigned every year or two. This depends on the roughness of the roads you typically use, plus a number of other factors. Visit Astro Lincoln in Pensacola, FL, today to have your wheels precisely realigned by qualified automotive professionals. At our full-service dealership, we seek to deliver a world-class customer experience to match the unbeatable all-American prestige of the Lincoln brand.

Lincoln's Comprehensive Service Checklist

Maintenance is key to keeping any car in great condition. Your Lincoln dealership can provide all the maintenance you need, so take a look at the service checklist we've provided and stop by for these services regularly. A Comprehensive Service Checklist From Your Lincoln Dealership Fluid Level Corrections Get your fluid levels checked often, and have the levels topped off as needed. Low fluid levels can negatively impact your vehicle's performance. Various fluids also need to be completely drained and replaced at different intervals. You need to change your oil most often—typically every six months. more Light Checks Inspect the lights on your vehicle every month. This includes the head and tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, and interior lights. Check for flickering and dimming. If there seems to be an issue, then bring your car to the dealer. The bulbs may be burning out, or you could have an electrical issue that's making it harder for your car to power all the lights. Air Filter Change You need to change your engine's air filter regularly. If the air filter is old or gets too dirty to be useful, then you may not have proper airflow to the engine. This can decrease fuel efficiency, increase emissions, and reduce your engine's lifespan. The engine air filter should be changed at least once a year, but check it regularly and get it changed if it's dirty. Check Your Tires Check your tire pressure, tread depth, and overall tire condition often. Maintain the pressure recommended by your car's manufacturer to keep your tires performing well. Replace your tires when they have less than 1/16 of an inch of tread. Get new tires if there are bulges or cracks on their sidewalls. It's especially important to check your tire pressure during cold spells, as tire pressure drops when the temperature gets lower. Get services that help prolong your tires' lifespan, too. Wheel rotations, wheel alignments, and wheel balancing are all vital. Replace Your Belts, Hoses, Spark Plugs, and Windshield Wipers The belts and hoses in your car wear out over time and should be replaced when needed. Spark plugs get old and eventually fail, so you'll need to replace them every few years. Your windshield wipers need to be replaced annually. Check Your Battery Get your battery inspected at the dealership to make sure it can hold a full charge and doesn't have any stratification. Replace your battery every 3 to 5 years, as the battery will eventually fail. Look out for issues such as trouble starting the car, malfunctioning accessories, and dim headlights, as these are all signs that your battery is having problems.

Oil Change

Why Regular Oil Changes Are Essential for Your Lincoln's Health

Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining your car, especially for a luxury vehicle like a Lincoln. Keeping your oil fresh and properly filled can dramatically influence the efficiency, performance, and lifespan of your car. Let's learn a little more about changing your oil at your Lincoln dealer. Oil Keeps Your Engine Running Smoothly Engine oil lubricates your engine's moving parts, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear on components like the piston and crankshaft. It also helps to cool these parts by dispersing heat, preventing your engine from overheating. Oil plays a major role in cleaning your engine, too. It traps dirt and debris from the combustion process, which are then removed through the oil filter. more How Often Should You Change Your Oil? How frequently your oil needs to be changed depends on the model of your car, the type of oil used, and your driving habits. With advances in engine technology and high-quality synthetic oils, your Lincoln can likely go 5,000 to 7,500 miles between changes. It's always best to consult your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations. Signs It's Time for an Oil Change at Your Lincoln Dealer Your Oil Is Dark and Dirty Fresh, clean oil should be the color of honey. As it gets older, it absorbs particles from the engine that thicken it and turn it darker. If you check your oil and see that it's black and gritty, you need to get it changed. Your Engine Is Noisy or Knocking Oil protects the pieces of your engine from rubbing together, reducing the noise they make when they move. If your engine starts to sound louder, or you hear knocking or ticking coming from under the hood, your oil probably isn't doing its job anymore. Your Oil or Check Engine Light Is On Modern Lincolns are equipped with sensors that alert you when your oil quality is poor or levels are low. If your oil light comes on, it's time to schedule an appointment. If your check engine light comes on, you should visit the dealership as soon as possible to rule out serious engine trouble. Your Oil Is Low If you check your oil and find the level is consistently low, especially soon after you've added more, you've got a problem. Your Lincoln might have a leak, or it might be burning oil. Your Car Is Struggling Does your car seem sluggish? If it's less responsive or not performing as well as it used to, you might be asking it to work with an engine full of old oil. Smoke Is Coming From Your Exhaust It's normal to see translucent vapor coming from your tailpipe. Are you seeing smoke instead? That's bad news. Smoke could point to oil leaking into your engine, and that needs to be checked out. Taking care of your car's oil is one of the best things you can do for your engine.

Transmission

Lincoln Transmission Maintenance: Keeping Your Vehicle Running Smoothly

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Transmission problems scare many drivers as they imagine expensive repairs and days without their vehicle while it's in the shop. In most situations, however, we can fix transmission issues quickly and inexpensively. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to tell you some signs that you need to visit us for a transmission service. Signs You Need a Transmission Service at Your Lincoln Dealer Burning Smells Transmission fluid is vital for your transmission, providing the hydraulic power that allows the gears to shift. It also protects numerous components against friction damage by lubricating them and helps reduce the temperature inside the transmission. Like all fluids, transmission fluid gradually becomes less efficient and loses many of its properties as it ages. Older fluid also loses its heat resistance. The heat inside the transmission rises as the fluid can't effectively cool the hot components anymore, and the rising temperature can cause the fluid to overheat and burn. Burning transmission fluid produces a foul stench similar to burning rubber. We'll flush your transmission to remove any trace of the old fluid and then replace it. more Thudding Noises If you start hearing thudding noises when driving, you could have one or more damaged transmission mounts. There are two transmission mounts, and they connect the transmission to your Lincoln's frame. The mounts are made from rubber and are filled with liquid to absorb and dissipate vibrations from the driving surface. Over time, the rubber mounts become less flexible and can crack. If a mount cracks, the liquid inside it will leak out. Without the liquid, the mount can't absorb vibrations, and the transmission will move as you drive, producing a thudding noise. The transmission can't tear loose from the frame, but it will suffer damage without its vibration protection. We'll replace one or both mounts to fix this problem. Buzzing, Humming, or Whining A healthy transmission doesn't make any noise as it shifts gears. If you hear strange noises like buzzing or humming as the transmission works, you could have a transmission problem. These noises are slight when they start but will become louder as time passes. They can also morph into even stranger noises like clunking or whining. One of the most common causes of strange transmission noises is a lack of transmission fluid. As we saw above, this fluid is essential for your transmission to work effectively. If you have a transmission leak, fluid will be lost and components will suffer damage. We'll examine your transmission to find the leak site and then seal it. Once we replace the lost fluid, the strange noises will stop. Transmission issues will worsen if they're not repaired.
