Just got a CORSA Sport cat-back exhaust installed on my Cadillac Escalade at Dales Auto Service. The exhaust sounds amazing aggressive, and clean without being too much. The install was done professionally and everything came out perfect. Really happy with the service and the final result. Highly recommend Dales Auto Service!

I only trust dales for a proper assessment of anything that is wrong with my truck. I had gone to the dealer a week before and the amount of things they missed was shocking. They really do take the time to give a proper report and provide the correct and full diagnosis the first time . Highly recommend dales to everyone.

My wife had obtained two estimates on her Subaru to get bering work done which seemed a bit high and work that was not required was included in both. I suggested she try Dale’s and she was at their quick response and price. The work was performed by Dale’s to her complete satisfaction. We will both be getting our work done there in the future. Happy customers, Elfie & Gary

Had a issue with my car after I lowered it and added a few other parts. I needed to get it done asap because i had my dads celebration of life fast approaching and needed it fixed asap. I was able to get it in rite away and they were able to find the issue, install some parts I had and get the alignment done all before my trip. After the work was done the techs that fixed it spent a few mins telling me what they had to do to get it fixed and suggestions on other things I could do to help with a bit of rubbing i was having. Friendly staff and quality work.

Auto A/C Repair FAQ

1) How much does car A/C repair or recharge cost?
Pricing depends on refrigerant type (R134a vs. R1234yf), capacity, and any leaks or component faults. We start with a quick diagnostic to confirm exactly what you need and provide an estimate before work.

2) How long does an A/C recharge take?
A standard evacuate-and-recharge with a vacuum hold test typically takes about an hour. Leak repairs or component replacement will add time—we’ll advise upfront.

3) Can you recharge my A/C without fixing the leak?
We don’t recommend it. Proper repair prevents repeat failures and protects the compressor. We follow best practices: test, fix leaks, then recharge to spec.

4) Do you service hybrid and EV air conditioning?
Yes. We service high-voltage-compatible A/C systems and use the correct oils and procedures required for hybrids and EVs.

5) How often should A/C be serviced?
There’s no fixed interval; service is need-based. If cooling drops, you notice smells, or hear unusual noises, book a diagnostic so we can prevent larger repairs.
