The cost of suspension repair varies based on the parts that need replacement. Contact us for a detailed estimate.

  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.

  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.

Why GMC Truck Steering & Suspension Matters

Your truck’s steering and suspension system keeps it stable, responsive, and safe—especially under load, towing, or rough road conditions. If components are worn, seized, leaking, or loose, your GMC may experience:

Wandering or pulling
Uneven tire wear
Shaking or vibration
Clunking noises
Poor handling
Steering wheel off-center
Harsh ride quality

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to major component failure—and expensive repairs later.
