  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.

FORD Truck Service FAQ

1) How much does Ford truck suspension repair cost?
Pricing depends on the components (e.g., control arms vs. shocks) and whether an alignment is needed. After inspection, we’ll give a written estimate with options.

2) Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Yes—any time parts affecting ride height or steering are replaced (shocks/struts, control arms, tie rods, springs), a 4-wheel alignment protects tire life and handling.

3) How long does suspension service take?
Most single-component repairs are same-day. Multi-component jobs or rusty hardware may require additional time. We’ll confirm timelines before we start.

4) Can you install Ford leveling or lift kits?
Absolutely. We install quality kits, verify clearances, and perform a post-install alignment so the truck tracks straight and tires wear evenly.

5) What are the most common Ford suspension issues you see?
Worn lower control arm bushings, ball joints, front struts/shocks, sway bar links, and rear leaf spring hardware are common on Ranger and F-150. We address the root cause, not just the noise.
