The service advisor was dismissive, condescending, unprofessional, and blatantly uninterested in helping since my vehicle was out of warranty. More

I am so sorry that you felt as though we were not interested in helping you. Asking Lincoln to replace all of your leather seat covers at 92049 miles as a second owner is a big ask. Unfortunately normal wear and tear is not covered and Lincoln was not able to help. As you found out when you contacted another Lincoln Dealership, most would not even make the attempt we did. I would recommend going back to the place you purchased the vehicle and asking them to replace the seat covers.
