Your owner’s manual provides details on how to keep your car running the way it was intended to. When you bought your car, you experienced a rush of excitement -- like a kid on their birthday. When you drove it off the lot, the word 'new' kept running through your mind. It looked new, felt new, even smelled new.

There are a lot of things to get excited about when autumn rolls around in Billings, MT: cool breezes, resplendent red and orange leaves, festivals...

But the thing that has us fired up for fall here at Bob Smith Lincoln, Inc. is the imminent arrival of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

This full-size luxury SUV is coming soon in fall of 2017 and it seems to have plenty of new features including a totally new front end that makes it look a bit more like the sumptuous Lincoln Continental.

The benefit of being a loyal Lincoln customer goes beyond the ownership of a luxury vehicle. There are several exclusive services provided along with it! One way to get direct access to such services is through the Lincoln Way App™ which is free for download on both Apple and Android devices.

As a brand that has been traditionally known for the luxury it provides its customers, Lincoln has some of the most premium features, but its true strength is in its vehicles. According to data from IHS Markit, Lincoln currently has the highest loyalty rating from its customers compared to all luxury vehicles.

Fuel efficiency is an important part of the driving experience in Billings. Not only does good gas mileage help you go further, it also helps your wallet because you spend less at the gas station. We shared some ways to give your Lincoln a fuel efficient boost in our last post, and we're back with more:

We're all thinking about fuel efficiency these days, because no one likes to spend more time and money than they need to at the gas pump. That certainly includes Lincoln drivers in Billings. However, there are driving and maintenance techniques you can use to improve your gas mileage. Try some of the following:
