​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your Lincoln is stylish, comfortable, and powerful, and you want to enjoy its benefits for many years to come. Lincoln maintenance is the key to a long and healthy life for your vehicle. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to tell you more about some of the many types of maintenance we can perform.
Examples of Lincoln Maintenance at Your Lincoln Dealer
Seasonal Maintenance
Texas weather can take its toll on even a Lincoln, but you can easily protect your car with seasonal maintenance. Our hot summers can increase the chances of battery failures, engine overheating, and other issues. In addition, you want your AC to perform at its best when temperatures soar in August.
High external temperatures can cause the electrolyte solution inside the battery to expand. This puts pressure on the casing and it will bulge outwards. The battery will suffer permanent damage and need replacement. A cooling system check-up is also important before the weather heats up, as the temperature under the hood in summer can rise over 300 F. We can easily ensure your Lincoln is ready for anything the weather throws at it.
Headlight Repairs
Good headlights are vital when you're driving in low visibility conditions. They can prevent many types of accidents as you can see the road ahead and other drivers and pedestrians can see you. Headlight bulbs will inevitably fail, just like bulbs in your home do. When you need replacements, our technicians will quickly and easily replace the old bulbs with new ones.
Electrical can develop over time due to aged wiring, and this can cause electrical shorts. The clear plastic lenses over the headlights can also become damaged by stones or grit thrown up from the surface. A cracked lens can allow water into the headlight recess, which leads to blown bulbs, rusted bulb sockets, and other issues. If you have any problems with your headlights, we can fix them.
Tire Rotation
It's a fact that even the best tires will slowly wear down and need replacement. They're exposed to surface abrasion, mud, and other environmental factors that can damage them. In addition, the type of drivetrain on your Lincoln and a tire's position cause specific wear patterns as time passes. The worn tire sections can eventually cause leaks or even a blowout.
The tire rotation pattern we use depends on your drivetrain. For example, a FWD vehicle carries more weight in the front, so the front tires suffer more wear than the rear tires. Once we've moved your tires to their new positions, wear and tear is more evenly distributed, and your tires will have a longer life.
Maintenance is relatively inexpensive, but it pays big dividends in keeping your car in great condition. Contact our service department today at West Point Lincoln of Sugar Land in Houston, TX.
