  I have had repeated problems with the DEF system . I went looking for a service center where I could have a conversation about my vehicle with an informed person at the front desk. I found it at Dales.

  I waited a year to see if there would be problems with a timing belt kit install on a Sequoia.  There are none and the Truck runs great, that s why I gave 5 Stars. I would go back.

  Excellent service.

They’re very professional and would always recommend them, the diagnosis was accurate and fast.
It was a  transmission failure  therefore I needed a replacement, which they delivered at a timely manner, despite the amount of work involved.

Great work and quality.

  A+++. I would highly recommend getting your vehicle serviced at Dale’s. Jameson and his team run an honest shop with fair prices, and the tech’s will treat your car as if it was their own. I’ve taken numerous vehicles to Dale’s over the years and have never had a poor experience.

  Yesterday morning as I prepared to leave my home, my car sputtered to start. I drove to Dale's and thankfully my car could get booked in to check the source of the problem. Within 15 minutes, I was called to advise me that I needed a new battery. Within two hours my car was ready for pickup. I have been a customer for many years and I have always received friendly, informed and timely service.

Diagnostic Service FAQ

1. Is it safe to drive with the Check Engine Light on?

Sometimes, yes — but not always. If the light is flashing, your engine is misfiring and driving can cause severe damage. We recommend booking a diagnostic right away.

2. How much does a Check Engine Light diagnostic cost?

Dale’s Auto Service provides a full professional diagnostic with advanced scan tools. Pricing varies by vehicle, but we always provide transparent estimates before any repair.

3. What if the Check Engine Light comes back after the repair?

Our technicians verify all repairs and road-test the vehicle. If the light returns, we re-check the vehicle and ensure the issue is fully resolved.

4. Can you diagnose all makes and models?

Yes — we specialize in all makes and models, including domestic, import, European, hybrid, and EV.

5. How long does the diagnostic take?

Most diagnostics are completed same day. Complex issues or intermittent faults may require extended testing, but we keep you updated throughout.

Dealer Warranty

All modern vehicles are equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) that constantly monitors key systems—especially the powertrain, which includes the engine and transmission.

This system ensures your vehicle runs efficiently while minimizing emissions. As fuel economy and emissions technology have become more advanced, your vehicle’s electronics now continuously adjust performance based on driving conditions.

If any readings fall outside of the normal range, the check engine light will turn on. That’s your signal to visit Dale’s Auto Service, where we’ll scan the fault codes, provide a clear estimate, and carry out the necessary repairs to get you safely back on the road.

DALE’S USES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO DIAGNOSE YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

At Dale’s Auto Service, we use state-of-the-art scan tools to accurately diagnose and resolve check engine light issues—whether it’s a loose gas cap or a complex engine or emissions fault. Backed by over 100 years of combined technician experience, our team delivers expert diagnostics and honest repairs you can trust. Few shops can match that level of knowledge and technology.
