Preventative service is a type of maintenance that protects your vehicle from damage by fixing minor issues before they develop into major ones. As your Lincoln dealership, we want to tell you a few signs you need to visit our service department for a repair. more 3 Signs Your Lincoln Needs Preventative Service at Your Lincoln Dealership Rising Engine Temperature The temperature gauge on your dashboard allows you to see your engine's temperature at a glance. The engine operates most efficiently at high temperatures between 195° F and 220° F, but the temperature must be controlled to prevent damage to sensitive engine components. Your Lincoln has a highly efficient cooling system that uses coolant to absorb heat and transport it to the radiator for removal. It's normal for the engine temperature to rise if you're towing a heavy load or accelerating, but the temperature should drop again as the cooling system speeds up to compensate. If your engine temperature rises for no obvious reason, you could have a coolant leak or a blockage in the cooling system. We'll investigate and fix the issue to prevent any damage. Screeching Brakes Screeching noises from the brakes might sound good in movies, but if you hear them each time you brake, one or more brake pads are worn and need replacement. The brake pads are a crucial part of the braking system, as they have a rough material covering that generates friction against the spinning rotors, which brings your vehicle to a stop. A pad's material covering gradually wears down, and when the material thickness reaches 1/4", the pad needs to be replaced. Pad manufacturers install a metal spike as a warning device inside the material to alert you. The metal spike becomes visible when the pad has worn down, and it will scratch against the rotor, producing a high-pitched screech. We'll replace the worn pads, and the noise will stop. Wiper Blade Replacement Good wiper blades are essential in rain or snow to keep the windshield clear so you can see to drive safely. The blades are made from high-quality rubber to allow them to flex easily and prevent damage to the glass as they clean. As time passes, the rubber loses its suppleness due to exposure to heat, cold, rain, and sunshine, and it can crack. Cracked blades can't effectively clean the windshield, resulting in smears and restricted visibility when you need it most. Additionally, the damaged blades can scratch the windshield glass, potentially causing cracks and the need for a windshield repair or replacement. Our technicians can replace worn blades in minutes to prevent any of these problems. Contact our service department today at Biondi Lincoln in Monroeville, PA, to book your next service.

Your Lincoln's handbook contains a list of scheduled services and the mileage milestones at which they should be completed. This list is more than a general guide, as sticking to it will make your driving experience more enjoyable, extend the life of your vehicle, and save you money. As your Lincoln dealership, we want to tell you some of the reasons why scheduled maintenance is important. more From Your Lincoln Dealership: 3 Reasons To Follow Your Scheduled Maintenance Plan Safer Driving Even high-quality Lincoln components age and wear out. Additionally, parts can become damaged when you drive, for example, due to hard objects like stones thrown up from the road surface. Damaged components are less efficient and can cause unnecessary wear and tear on healthy components. Damaged components also make accidents more likely to occur. Worn brake pads decrease braking speed and increase braking distance, making it more difficult to stop in an emergency. Damaged seals can result in leaks. A worn transmission pan gasket, for example, will lead to loss of transmission fluid and potential transmission failure. When components are replaced according to schedule, you have the peace of mind that Lincoln is as safe and responsive as it was designed to be. You Save Money Scheduled services are very affordable, and while they take you away from time behind the wheel while they're performed, they save you money in the long run. An example of this is tire rotations. Tire replacement is an expense you have to plan for, but regular rotations allow you to postpone these costs. Rotating your tires allows each tire to wear down at a relatively similar rate, extending its lifespan. Replacing worn components at the correct time prevents them from failing and potentially causing damage. Changing coolant when it's due prevents it from becoming corrosive and damaging parts of the engine. It also prevents engine damage caused by overheating, as older coolant is less efficient at removing heat from the engine. Ensures Reliability Your Lincoln has been designed and engineered to provide high performance, reliability, and fuel efficiency. Worn or damaged components lead to decreased performance, reduced reliability, and wasted fuel. A blocked engine air filter that isn't replaced, for example, alters the fuel-air mixture in the engine, turning the mixture fuel-rich. Most of the fuel in a fuel-rich engine is wasted as it can't burn due to the lack of air. Hot, unburnt fuel is dumped into the catalytic converter, which can damage the converter and increase fuel emissions. In addition, engine components like spark plugs and ignition coils will wear out faster than necessary, which increases costs. These are just a few of the many reasons why regular servicing is essential. If you'd like to know more or to book a service, contact us today at Biondi Lincoln in Monroeville, PA.
