Lincoln's Head Will Let You Know About the Safety of Your Tire Tread

A penny may seem worthless to some. A penny, however, can still do an amazing amount of things today. For example, the penny test on tire tread works every time.

The Penny Test

Take a penny and put it into the tread of your tires with Lincoln's head facing outward towards you so that it's visible. If you can see Lincoln's head, your tire tread is dead. This means it's time to get down to Shawnee Mission Ford to get new tires for your vehicle. One of our professionals will inspect your vehicle's tires and provide you with the correct replacements for your vehicle.

You Can Still Get Something With a Penny

Never underestimate the power of a penny. The penny test can provide you with a peace of mind knowing that your tire tread is good. Having good tire tread means that your vehicle will perform better and have increased safety on the roads.

Signs It's Time To Replace Your Battery

There are many vital components in your vehicle and a battery is one of them. Unlike so many of those parts that make your car go, maintenance isn't always the best option. There is no lube job or rotation that can make the battery run more efficiently or bring it back to life. Subtle things will begin to happen when it's time. You will begin to notice your headlights becoming dimmer, your horn will sound quieter, and your engine crank may be weaker. If you start to experience these slight electrical mishaps or slow-downs, it may be time to replace the battery. When it needs to be done, you might only be vaguely sure. As I mentioned before, these changes are usually quite subtle. If you are certain or have have questions, bring your vehicle in to our experts to give you the proper diagnosis. Our team is eagerly standing by to assist you.

Change your oil regularly for a smooth and safe ride

If you want to get better gas mileage and have your car run the way that it should, then keep up with your oil changes. They don't take much time, and if you take your car to us here at Shawnee Mission Ford, we'll handle all the work. If you take frequent but short trips (5 to 10 miles in length), drive at higher engine speeds, or drive in extremely hot or cold weather, then you'll probably need to get your oil changed more often. It's a good idea to check your oil routinely to see how it looks. It should be clear and not black or sludgy. Also be sure to check your oil level and keep it topped up. If your oil is clean, your car will run better. Come to us for all your oil change and maintenance needs and keep your car running smoothly all the time.
