Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Mark VII's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Could your 1988 Lincoln Mark VII be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Mark VII) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lincoln Mark VII could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
