How often should I replace my brake pads?

Brake pads typically last between 40,000–80,000 km, depending on driving style and conditions. We recommend a brake inspection every 12 months or 20,000 km.

What are signs my brakes need service?

Watch for squeaking, grinding, vibration during braking, longer stopping distances, or a soft pedal. These all signal it's time for professional inspection.

Do you use OEM parts for brake repair?

We use OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed Acura’s performance and safety standards.

  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.
