The Best Auto Repair & Service Shop Near You for All Makes & Models

When you hit a curb or deep pothole, even at low speeds, the damage to your suspension, wheel alignment, tires, control arms, and steering components can be serious. At Dale’s Auto Service, Cloverdale’s best mechanic near you, we specialize in suspension damage repair, accident claims, and full restoration of your vehicle’s handling and safety.

With more than 35+ years of trusted auto repair in the Lower Mainland, Dale’s Auto Service has built a reputation for unmatched accuracy, transparent communication, and premium customer care.

And if the impact caused damage requiring an ICBC claim, we manage the entire process—from tow truck to handing your keys back.

Why Curb & Pothole Impacts Need Immediate Inspection

A hard impact can cause hidden issues such as:

• Bent control arms

• Damaged tie rods or ball joints

• Bent wheels or cracked rims

• Misaligned subframe components

• Blown struts or shocks

• Steering play or vibration

• Tire sidewall damage

• Broken sway bar links or bushings

These problems get worse over time, reduce safety, and lead to costly repairs if ignored.

If your steering pulls, vibrates, or feels “off,” book a suspension inspection immediately.
