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.

I had such a positive experience with Dil and the entire team at Dale’s Auto Service. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand without ever making me feel rushed or uncomfortable. As a woman, going into a mechanical or automotive repair facility can sometimes feel intimidating, especially if you don’t have a lot of mechanical knowledge. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know whether you are being given all of the information or being treated fairly. My experience at Dale’s Auto Service was completely different. I genuinely felt respected, comfortable, and included throughout the entire process. Dil was especially helpful and made the whole experience incredibly easy. He was patient with all of my questions and made sure I understood what was happening with my vehicle, what was recommended, and why. There was never any pressure, confusing terminology, or feeling like I was being talked down to. Everything was explained professionally and clearly, which gave me a lot of confidence in the work being done. Dale’s Auto Service really does feel like a women-friendly automotive facility. The staff creates an environment where you can comfortably ask questions and actually receive thoughtful, honest answers. They make something that can normally be stressful feel straightforward and manageable. I also really appreciated how organized and professional the entire shop was. The communication was excellent, the customer service was friendly, and I felt like my vehicle was being taken care of by people who genuinely care about doing the job properly.

Lifted Vehicle Wheel Alignment in Walnut Grove

Professional, Precision Alignment for Lifted Trucks & SUVs — Dale’s Auto Service

When you modify your suspension with a lift kit, larger tires, or off-road upgrades, a regular alignment simply isn’t enough. You need a technician who understands caster correction, adjustable arms, oversized tire geometry, track width changes, steering angles, and driveline impact.

At Dale’s Auto Service, Walnut Grove’s best auto repair & service shop, our alignment specialist Jeff has over 20+ years mastering complex suspension and lifted-vehicle geometry. We ensure your lifted truck or SUV drives straight, handles safely, and protects your investment.

We won’t steer you wrong!

Why Lifted Vehicles Need Specialized Wheel Alignment

Lift kits significantly alter factory suspension geometry. Our advanced Hunter alignment system and experience allow us to correct:

  • Caster angle changes caused by lift height

  • Toe & camber misalignment from oversized tire upgrades

  • Steering pull or drift after suspension modification

  • Highway instability common on lifted trucks & SUVs

We provide lifted-vehicle alignment services for all makes & models, including:

  • Toyota Tacoma & 4Runner

What to Expect with Your Lifted Vehicle Alignment

1. Suspension Inspection

We check ball joints, tie rods, bushings, steering, control arms, CV axles, tire condition, and aftermarket components.

2. Geometry Review

We measure caster, camber, toe, KPI, thrust angle, and tire scrub — including what factory specs no longer match due to lift height.

3. Custom Alignment Setup

We adjust to lifted-specific specs, not generic OEM settings, ensuring:

  • Highway stability

  • Improved steering

  • Centered steering wheel

  • Maximum tire life

  • Safe off-road handling

4. Test Drive & Customer Review

We ensure it drives exactly as it should.

Because lifted vehicles are unique, our alignments are custom, not cookie-cutter.

Lifted Vehicle Alignment Service FAQ

1. Do lift kits require a special type of wheel alignment?

Yes. Lift kits change suspension geometry, so lifted vehicles require a custom alignment that accounts for caster changes, tire size, and steering angle correction.

2. How often should I align my lifted truck or SUV?

Every 6–12 months, or sooner if you off-road, install new suspension parts, or notice handling changes.

3. Can a regular mechanic align a lifted truck?

Most cannot. Lifted alignments require advanced knowledge, adjustable components, and experience with non-OEM suspension geometry — which is why owners choose Dale’s Auto Service.

4. Will a proper alignment fix wandering or drifting on the highway?

Yes. Wandering is usually caused by incorrect caster or improper lift-kit setup. Our specialist fixes this daily.

5. Can bigger tires cause alignment issues?

Absolutely. Wider, heavier tires increase stress on suspension angles and must be compensated for through precise alignment.

Pre-Alignment Checklist:

Before bringing your car in for alignment, please ensure the following:

  • Confirm that the steering and suspension are in safe, proper working condition.
  • Check that the front tie rods are not seized, as we do not use heat to free them up.
  • Inspect ball joints, bushings, and tie rods for signs of wear or play.
  • Ensure bearings are not loose or worn, and there are no leaking struts or shocks.
  • Verify the steering box for minor play, and ensure tires are safe for driving.
  • The vehicle must be capable of running under its own power.
  • If the vehicle underwent restoration, ensure all work has been double-checked by the facility/person responsible. If unsure, book a steering/suspension re-torque before the alignment appointment.
  • We will proceed with the alignment once the vehicle passes our inspection

Please note, should any components fail inspection, there will be a charge for the inspection as our technicians invest time in this process. We aim to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing these issues upfront.

Please request a steering and suspension inspection if you do not know the condition of your vehicle.

Thorough inspections and prioritize safety to prevent any future issues.
