To avoid finding yourself in this predicament, it's essential to be aware of the warning signs that indicate your car battery is on its last legs. These tips from your Lincoln dealer will help you determine whether or not you need a new car battery. more The Engine Is Slow to Turn On One of the primary signs of a dying car battery is when your engine takes longer than usual to start. When you turn the key, the battery provides energy to the start and ignition system, which then turns a flywheel to start the engine. If your battery is weak or dying, it may struggle to provide enough power to turn the engine over promptly. If you notice that your engine takes a few seconds to start, it's a clear indication that your battery is nearing the end of its lifespan. It's crucial to address this issue promptly to avoid being stranded with a dead battery. Dashboard Lights Flicker Your car battery not only powers the engine but also supplies energy to other electrical components, including the dashboard lights. If you notice that your dashboard lights are flickering, it is likely a sign of a dying battery. The flickering lights indicate that the battery is struggling to provide a consistent power supply to the electrical system. When you observe this symptom, it's essential to purchase a new battery as soon as possible. Ignoring the issue can lead to a completely dead battery, leaving you in need of a jump start. However, it's worth noting that dimmed dashboard lights can also be caused by other factors, such as a faulty light dimmer or alternator issues. Slow Window Roll-Up or Roll-Down Another subtle sign that your car battery is on its way out is when your power windows roll up or down slowly. While slow window operation can be caused by other factors, such as a faulty motor or track guides, it is often indicative of a weak battery. When the battery lacks sufficient power, it may struggle to operate the electric window motors smoothly. If you notice that your windows are unusually slow to roll up or down, especially in conjunction with other signs on this list, it's advisable to replace your battery. However, if the slow window operation is the only symptom you're experiencing, it may be worth investigating other potential causes before replacing the battery. If you're experiencing any of these issues, stop by Bob Maxey Lincoln and let our friendly staff assess what is needed to fix the issue.

Not only does regular car maintenance keep your vehicle in tip-top shape for longer, but it also reduces the cost of serious repair jobs over the lifespan of your car. more Renew Your Brake Pads Brakes are one of the most dangerous car parts to let fall into a state of disrepair. Brake pads, in particular, need regular replacements to maintain maximum friction and stopping power. Replace Your Air Filters Both the cabin and engine air filters serve important functions in protecting you and your engine from airborne pollutants. Check both filters often and replace them once they begin to show signs of dirtying or clogging. Keep Your Oil Fresh Motor oil needs to be fresh enough to fully lubricate the engine and keep friction and heat under control. Most drivers should have their motor oil changed at least twice per year, more frequently if they drive in more severe conditions than usual. Examine Your Tires Tire air pressure should be checked at least once per month and adjusted to optimal levels. While checking your tire pressure, it's also advisable to examine your tires closely for signs of cuts, blisters, cracks, and worn-out treads. Rotate Your Tires As tires wear down unevenly over time, it's important to have your tires rotated frequently. This reduces the risk of tire failure and also helps each set of tires last longer. Refresh Fluids and Coolant All the fluids in your car should be regularly checked and topped up or flushed and replaced. This includes your transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and coolant. Keep Your Battery Clean As time passes, the terminals at the top of car batteries are susceptible to corrosion. Regularly checking and cleaning the terminals will postpone the day when your battery needs to go. Replace Your Windshield Wipers Windshield wipers may seem a relatively unimportant car part, but they play a vital and sometimes lifesaving role. It's generally recommended to change windshield wipers once or twice a year to keep your visibility clear in poor weather. Schedule Routine Maintenance at Your Local Lincoln Dealer If you arrange a suitable routine servicing schedule at your local dealership, you'll find it easier to stay on top of the many essential maintenance tasks that any vehicle requires. The technicians can take your regular driving habits and conditions into consideration when determining the optimal schedule for your needs. Visit Bob Maxey Lincoln today to have your car checked and serviced by qualified technicians. We're a community-focused local dealership that's been diligently serving and treating our customers like family since 1982.

Image via Bob Maxey Lincoln. Your Lincoln is the embodiment of luxury, performance, and safety. And while every component plays a significant role in ensuring a smooth drive, there's just one part that directly touches the road: your tires. Determining when it's time to get new tires for your vehicle is a decision every car owner eventually has to make. Here's a few tips from your Lincoln dealer to help you decide if it's time. more Tread Depth Over time, as the tire wears out, the tread depth decreases. You can use a penny to check this. Insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, the tread is too shallow, indicating that it's time to replace your tires. Visible Damage Check your tires for any visible signs of damage. This can include cracks, cuts, punctures, or bulges on the tire's surface. Even if they appear minor, these types of damage can be hazardous as they compromise the structural integrity of the tire, putting you at risk of a blowout. Uneven Wear Tires don't always wear out evenly. Uneven wear patterns, such as feathering or scalloping, can indicate issues like misalignment, tire imbalance, or suspension problems. If you notice uneven wear, it's crucial to address it immediately, as it can cause premature tire degradation. Vibration While Driving If you've started to feel excessive vibration when driving, especially on smooth roads, it might indicate tire problems. These vibrations can arise from an unbalanced tire, misalignment, or internal damage to the tire. Age of the Tires Even if your tires look to be in good shape, age can still be a factor in their performance. Rubber degrades over time, and old tires might not offer the same grip, especially in challenging weather conditions. Generally, it's recommended to consider replacing tires that are 6 to 10 years old, regardless of wear. Loss of Tire Pressure While it's natural for tires to lose some pressure over time, a consistent drop can be a red flag. If you find yourself needing to refill the air more often than usual, there might be a slow leak, which necessitates a closer examination. Handling Issues When tires wear out, they might not grip the road as effectively, leading to issues in handling. If you notice your Lincoln struggling around corners, slipping in wet conditions, or taking longer to brake, it might be pointing towards tire wear. Recognizing the signs and taking timely action can not only ensure your Lincoln operates at its peak performance but also safeguards you, your loved ones, and other road users. If you identify any of the signs we've mentioned, or if you're uncertain about the condition of your tires, contact us at Bob Maxey Lincoln right away.

How often your vehicle will need a tire rotation depends on your driving style, the quality of your tires, and the model you own. By having your Aviator, Nautilus, or Corsair tires regularly repositioned at your Lincoln dealer, you can enjoy significant savings, better performance, and increased safety. more 1. Increases Handling Performance Maintaining even wear on your vehicle's tires can significantly enhance its handling performance. Uneven and worn treads can negatively impact your maneuverability and make it difficult for your tires to maintain traction on the road. Having your tires switched every six months will ensure optimal handling. 2. Improves Fuel Economy One of the key advantages of rotating your tires is that it improves your car's fuel economy. Tires that are worn and uneven generate more rolling resistance, which strains your engine, making it work harder for your vehicle to move forward. By rotating your tires, you will reduce friction, which will help you save money on gas. 3. Extends Tire Life The front tires on front-wheel-drive vehicles wear faster and at different rates than the rear tires. Regular rotations every time your car's oil is changed will ensure that the wear spreads evenly across all four tires and that they wear down at the same rate. Because the tires wear down evenly, they will last much longer. 4. Limits Vibrations If your car's tires are worn unevenly, you may notice a distinct vibration that can be felt through the steering wheel. Vibration can cause damage to your vehicle's components and affect the wheel alignment and balancing over time. Regularly swapping the tires will minimize vibrations and ensure you enjoy a much more comfortable ride. 5. Saves Money By having your Lincoln technician change the position of your tires at regular intervals, you will prolong their lifespan and avoid having to replace them as frequently. Rotations are a great way to get the most out of your tires, making them last longer and saving a lot of money. Switching your tires will save you money on tires, alignment, balancing, and steering and suspension repairs. 6. Optimizes Safety Worn and uneven tires make less contact with the road surface and reduce traction. Worn tires also dramatically increase the risk of blowouts, which could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. However, regularly asking your Lincoln technician to reposition your tires improves overall handling, increases traction, and makes your car much safer. Regularly repositioning your vehicle's tires has a  significant impact on your car's overall performance, your safety on the road, and your wallet. If your tires are due for a rotation or it's time for an oil change, swing by Bob Maxey Lincoln today and ask for a repositioning to ensure they last longer.
