The new Lincoln MKZ offers a number of high-end technology features that are sure to make your ride incredible. The car's SYNC 3 capabilities allow you to give commands and features an easy-to-use dashboard so you can access your most important apps and contacts without hassle.

The high-tech speakers improve sound quality throughout the vehicle so you can literally feel the sound as it vibrates throughout the car. You can even download the Lincoln Way app, which allows you to start, lock and unlock your vehicle, and more all with the push of a button. 

If there's one thing true about life in the Grapevine area, it's that the unexpected can happen at any moment. Our Lincoln service professionals recommend that you always travel with a roadside emergency kit to stay ready for any mishap. These are five items you should have packed inside your roadside emergency kit.

1. Tire fix-a-flat could make all the difference in getting the tire off the rim high enough so you can safely move your vehicle.
2. A gallon of engine coolant is ideal for refilling the radiator of the motor overheats. 

The new Lincoln MKT is steadily winning new drivers with its sleek design, upgraded interiors, and powerful standard base model. The Premiere trim has been packed with a list of features, but it's the 3.7-liter V6 engine that is drawing the most attention. This base engine can put out 300-horsepower and comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, offering drivers a bit more control over the road. 

In the market for a new mid-size luxury car but also want it to have a sporty look and feel? Look no further than the 2018 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid from Grapevine Lincoln! Below are two features that make this luxury car appeal to drivers who want a sportier look and feel:

• Driver’s Package - The 2018 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has an available Driver’s Package that comes with a unique sportier grille and 19-inch wheels with painted calipers to make the exterior pop. 

The last time Lincoln revamped its Aviator was back in 2005. Cars looked different back then from what they currently look. More than a decade has passed, and the sky-high gas prices had most American consumers swearing off the SUVs and opting in for some of the more eco-friendly vehicles. However, the SUVs have returned, and automakers have chosen to capitalize on this emerging trend. It first came in March of 2017 when Lincoln unveiled its 2018 Navigator. No one could argue with the tremendous sales results from it.

Rotating your tires is highly important. That is why our team here at Grapevine Lincoln want to ensure that you know the basics. Your tires need to be rotated frequently because they tend to wear in an uneven manner. This can be a result of either the way you drive or the type of vehicle you have. For instance, an AWD vehicle will have very different tire wear than a RWD vehicle.

Many auto service professionals agree that in order to get the most out of your tires, you should have them rotated every five to six thousand miles. 

Before 2008, the idea of a tire pressure monitoring system seemed an unimportant addition to an increasingly complex system of lights and sensors in cars. Accidents due to low tire pressure became a prevalent issue when records showed growing incidents of car accidents. New regulations required manufacturers to include a tire pressure monitoring system in all new vehicles beginning in 2008. 

There are many reasons why you may suddenly experience a non-operative car battery on your daily adventures. Here at Grapevine Lincoln, we never want for you to get stuck in a parking lot with no assistance. Here is a safe guide to jump your car battery when it is dead.

• Secure the help of another motorist that you can trust.
• Bring the two vehicles as close together as possible so the noses of the vehicles almost touch.
• Turn off the working car, and locate the jumper cables. 

A leather interior, with leather seating, can make your car look great. When you make the investment into leather for the seats in your car, it's important to know how to keep that leather looking good. Leather lasts a very long time when handled correctly, and you can keep your leather seats in top shape when you take the time to clean your leather properly.

Your tire treads have extremely important jobs to do, including maintaining traction and evacuating water and other liquids out from under the tires during operation. Under normal conditions, treads perform these tasks quietly and efficiently, but if the tread style on your vehicle doesn't match your driving style or vehicle uses, the treads can suffer premature and uneven wear. The good news is that you can protect your future tires from this fate if you take note of the performance information provided on the sidewalls of tires you wish to acquire.
