You love to get out and drive your car, but you probably don’t love trying to drive it in rainy conditions. People don’t like this in general because it is a lot more dangerous, and they can feel that danger when they get out there on rainy roads.

The best thing to do is look for preventative measures that keep a person safer while on the road. This means checking on the windows to make sure they are defogged and also looking into the distancing that you are keeping between yourself and other vehicles. Those seem like small…

What exactly are tire rotations? Our Landmark Lincoln service department receives this question most often. When we rotate your tires, we move each of your ride's tires to a new position on your vehicle. Here's why.

Long Tire Life, Better Traction

Tire rotations ensure a longer tire life and better traction during that lifespan. Each tire on your vehicle receives its own unique stress and wear depending on whether you have 4x4, rear, front or all-wheel drive. When you get your tires rotated, their new position on your vehicle stresses the tread from a different angle, 

It's important to take a little bit of time in the spring to make sure that your vehicle is in good shape. The winter may have caused some damage or wear and tear that you haven't noticed. Bring your vehicle into Landmark Lincoln for some of the following car care tips.

• A routine oil change can ensure your engine is functioning efficiently and properly.
• Your oil filter should be replaced as well.
• Have your belts, clamps and other fasteners inspected to ensure everything is tight and in place.
• Have the cooling system flushed and refilled to protect your…

If you have ever been surprised by a set of tires wearing out early, our experience at Landmark Lincoln tells us that your car's alignment may have been the reason. We offer professional alignment service in Englewood, and we hope you'll take advantage of it.

Our alignment sessions begin on our professional alignment tester. It evaluates three values we'll share with you, which are caster, camber and toe. If you have a caster problem, your rear wheels do not properly track behind the front ones. When a tire's camber is incorrect...

Your car has belts and hoses if it is not powered by electricity. It is important to know about belt and hose maintenance so that you can prevent a break down while driving.

When Should I Replace My Belts and Hoses?

It is smart to replace belts and hoses every few years or 50-100 thousand miles. When you bring your car in to Landmark Lincoln we will inspect these types of parts to make sure they are still in good working condition for you to continue driving.

When your car battery dies, it’s not the time to panic. There is a simple way to charge your battery with a jump-start and get back on the road.

What are Belts? 

Your car has a pulley system that connects the different moving parts and helps your car run in a synchronized motion. Some cars have two belts: a drive belt and a timing belt; all cars that aren't fully electric have a drive belt. It's important to replace the belts every 60-100 thousand miles or so to avoid failure.

What are Hoses?

Your car has rubber and plastic hoses that carry coolant and air throughout the engine. A failed hose can cause coolant or air to leak out and result in overheating or misfiring problems that…

Given that the automobile is a form of technology in and of itself, it makes sense to look at the technological features of the automobile. The 2019 Lincoln has a lot of technology features that range from safety of the vehicle to the entertainment value that is offered in the Navigator.

One example of the technology is the heads up display. This gives you the information you need when you are driving. The best part is that you can choose the type of data that is being displayed in front of you while you are driving.
