  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.

Frequently Asked Brake Service Questions

1) How much does Land Rover brake pad and rotor replacement cost?
Pricing varies by model and rotor type (standard vs. coated or two-piece). After our digital inspection, we’ll give you an exact quote with OEM or premium aftermarket options to fit your budget and driving style.

2) Do I need to replace rotors every time I replace pads?
Often, yes. Many Land Rovers arrive with rotors below spec or with heat spots/lip wear. Replacing rotors with pads ensures proper bedding and avoids noise, vibration, and premature wear.

3) Why is my Land Rover’s brake warning light on?
It could be pad wear sensors, low fluid from normal pad wear, or an ABS/EPB issue. We’ll scan the system, measure pad/rotor life, test fluid moisture, and pinpoint the cause before any work starts.

4) OEM vs aftermarket parts — what’s best?
We offer both. OEM keeps factory feel with predictable NVH. Premium aftermarket can reduce dust, improve bite, or save cost. We’ll recommend the right combo for how you drive.

5) How often should I change brake fluid?
Typically every 2 years (or sooner if moisture tests high). Fresh fluid protects ABS/EPB hardware and preserves pedal feel — especially important on heavy, high-performance Land Rovers.

A disc brake is a type of brake that uses calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc in order to create friction that slows the rotation of the wheel(s)….more

Drum Brake Service

The drum brake may look complicated, and it can be pretty intimidating when you open one up. Let’s break it down and explain what each piece does.

Like the disc brake, the drum brake has two brake shoes and a piston. But the drum brake also has an adjuster mechanism, an emergency brake mechanism and lots of springs…more

Brake Fluid Flush

Brake fluid is possibly the single most neglected component of the automobile.

Most high performance drivers check their tire pressures and change their engine oil at frequent intervals, but virtually no one ever changes the brake fluid in their street car.

Brake fluid will not be able to handle the heat when it is contaminated…more

Abs diagnostic service dales auto service

ABS/STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

Most vehicles come standard with ABS and some level of traction control, while others include optional stability and roll-over mitigation systems.

Failing to properly repair these systems can put the driver at risk, especially in vehicles with a high center of gravity.

If the ABS light is on, request diagnostic time to identify and resolve the issue…more
