Fast, Professional, ICBC-Friendly Repair — Dale’s Auto Service, Since 1975

When you hit a curb or pothole, the damage can affect far more than just your wheel. Misalignment, bent suspension arms, blown shocks, damaged steering components, and unsafe handling are all common results.

At Dale’s Auto Service, the best mechanic near you and the most trusted auto repair shop in the Lower Mainland, we specialize in suspension repair, wheel alignment, steering diagnostics, and complete ICBC accident management for all makes and models.

If your vehicle suddenly vibrates, pulls to one side, makes noise over bumps, or the steering wheel isn’t straight after an impact — you need a suspension inspection immediately.
