The brake pads and rotors of your car are constructed with premium materials for exceptionally smooth, reliable braking. With regular inspections and servicing at your Lincoln dealership, you'll keep your brakes at maximum stopping power. It's also important to know the symptoms of worn-out components so you can have quick repairs and replacements carried out. There are signs to tell that your car needs brake maintenance and below we explore some top signs. How Do You Know If You Need Brake Service? Wobbling Sensations When braking, if you feel wobbling or pulsating in the pedal or steering wheel, there can be a problem with one of the rotors. These sturdy parts generate friction with the brake pads and steadily wear down over time. A damaged or rotor that is wearing unevenly can create wobbling vibrations. Sometimes, a rotor can be restored with a resurfacing process, but if your damaged rotor is too old and thin, it will have to go. more Screeching Noises If your brakes are still strong but you hear a screeching sound when you use them, one of your brake pads may need replacing. The friction layer of a brake pad wears away a little more each time you brake. Eventually, a small metal tab is uncovered, which scrapes against the rotor, generating a distinct screeching noise to let the driver know it's time for a new pad. Squishy Brake Pedal Brake pedals become squishy when hydraulic force is reduced inside the brake lines. If your brake pedal feels softer when you press it, pull over to check for the brake fluid level. The brake lines are filled with brake fluid, which maintains hydraulic pressure, and if there is a brake fluid leak, it can lessen this hydraulic pressure, weakening the brake signal. Veering to the Side Is your car veering to one side when braking? This can be for various reasons such as the brake pads wearing at an uneven rate, a brake fluid leak, or it can be a brake caliper problem and how its working when braking. Need Prompt Brake Maintenance in Pensacola, FL? Come to Our Lincoln Dealership The brake system is an important part of your vehicle to routinely keep an eye on throughout the year. Be sure to come in for a thorough inspection by a professional  so that your Lincoln can get the certified brake service it needs.

Bring your Lincoln along to Astro Lincoln in Pensacola, FL, today.

Your vehicle’s exhaust system is responsible for removing gases from your engine through a series of pipes beneath the body of your vehicle. When your exhaust system is leaking or your engine is noisy, you will need to book exhaust maintenance as soon as possible to keep your vehicle's emissions low. What services can you find at your local Lincoln dealership? Three Exhaust System Services Available at Your Lincoln Dealership 1.

The engine generates energy, which the transmission transfers to the wheels so they move at the required speed. Worn or damaged transmission components can cause many problems, ranging from strange noises to leaks to gears that won't shift. As your Lincoln dealership, we'd like you to know some signs you need to visit us for a transmission service. 3 Signs You Need To Visit Your Lincoln Dealership for a Transmission Service Delayed Shifting When you accelerate or decelerate, the transmission sends instructions to the sensors in the transmission to shift gears. A healthy transmission responds in seconds and smoothly and silently changes gears. As time passes, problems can develop, and the gears will take longer to shift than they should. While this issue may seem minor at first, it will become more troublesome, and if not repaired, the transmission could be seriously damaged. A common reason for delayed shifting is low transmission fluid. This fluid performs many important tasks, but a very crucial job is to provide the hydraulic power that shifts the gears. A leak or a blocked transmission filter reduces the available fluid, and you'll hear strange noises as the transmission struggles to shift gears. We'll find the cause of the problem and repair it. more Blocked Transmission Filter The transmission filter removes dirt, tiny pieces of metal, and other debris that the fluid absorbs as it circulates through the transmission. This is an important task, as too much debris in the fluid causes it to slow down, and the transmission won't work efficiently. If the transmission hasn't been serviced for a while, the accumulated debris can block the filter. Transmission fluid helps control the temperature inside the transmission, and a blocked filter can cause the transmission to overheat. Additionally, many components depend on the fluid to protect them against friction damage. Without this protection, the transmission will become noisy, and wear and tear on components will increase. Our technicians will drain and replace the old fluid and install a new filter to fix this issue. Check Engine Light An illuminated check engine light can mean something is wrong with the engine, but it can also signal a problem with the transmission. The engine and transmission work so closely together that a problem with the transmission will automatically affect the engine. If the transmission isn't working correctly, the engine will generate more energy to try and fix the problem. As the engine works harder to supply more power, wear and tear on engine components increases. Sensors will inform your computer of the problem, and it will activate the check engine light. We'll examine your engine and transmission, and once the issue is fixed, the light will go out. Book Your Lincoln Transmission Service in Pensacola, FL Today If you have a problem with your transmission, contact us right away at Astro Lincoln in Pensacola, FL.

When it comes time to sell your vehicle, you've got two choices: a private sale or a trade-in. While a private sale may seem more advantageous on the surface, you have to factor in the significant time costs and stress involved. On the other hand, a trade-in is simple, easy, and offers more benefits than you might realize. Let's dive deeper into the trade-in benefits you can receive at your Lincoln dealership. 4 Benefits of Trading in Your Vehicle at Your Lincoln Dealership 1. Saves Time and Hassle The process of selling your vehicle from start to finish is lengthy and cumbersome. You have to advertise your vehicle, get bombarded with messages, coordinate test drives, negotiate on a price, and fill out a bunch of paperwork. This can take weeks or even months to complete and will likely cause a lot of headache and stress in the process. Trading in your vehicle at our dealership is incredibly simple. We take care of all the paperwork and transfer of title, and the entire process can be done in a single visit. This is especially advantageous for time-sensitive situations such as moving. With all that is going on in your life, you don't want to pile yet another thing on top. more 2. Avoids Repair Costs If your vehicle has seen better days, it likely needs several repairs. Buyers can be picky, and oftentimes, they will want repairs completed before they'll consider buying your vehicle. Why spend almost as much money on repairs as the vehicle is worth? Avoid this no-win situation by trading your vehicle in. We'll take your vehicle as-is and offer you a fair price based on its condition and market value. 3. Reduces New Vehicle Costs When you trade in your vehicle, we will offer you a credit that you can apply towards your new purchase. If your current vehicle is not that old, and you're moving fairly laterally across the value spectrum, or even downsizing, you will likely end up with a sizable chuck of change that will cover some, if not all, of the expenses associated with your new vehicle. 4. Reduces Tax Liabilities New vehicle purchases in Florida are subject to a 6% state sales tax plus a 1.5% discretionary sales surtax for the first $5,000 of the vehicle's price. Taken together, this adds up a sales tax rate as high as 7.5% for a portion of your new vehicle. When you trade in, you only need to pay taxes on the difference between the price of your trade-in and the price of the vehicle you're buying. This can result in significant savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars. Making a trade-in at your local dealership saves you both time and money, making it an extremely attractive alternative to selling your vehicle privately. Contact Astro Lincoln in Pensacola, FL, or visit our website, to find your trade-in value.
