  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 often should I replace Land Rover brake pads and rotors?
Most Land Rover pads last 30,000–60,000 km depending on driving, towing, and terrain. Rotors often last 1–2 pad cycles. We measure thickness and run-out during every visit.

2) My dash shows “Brake Pads Worn” or EPB fault—what now?
Land Rovers use electronic pad wear sensors and EPB modules. We scan for codes, inspect sensors, and reset or replace components as needed, then calibrate the EPB.

3) Do you use OEM parts for Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, Evoque?
Yes. We supply OEM/OES-grade pads and rotors (e.g., Brembo/TRW) and offer performance upgrades for towing or spirited driving—always matched to your model and VIN.

4) Will a brake fluid flush really help?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, raising boiling point and corroding components. We test fluid condition and typically recommend replacement every 2 years/40,000 km (or per Land Rover schedule).

5) Can you service other brands too?
Absolutely. We’re the best mechanic near you for all makes and models—European, Asian, and Domestic—covering full auto repair & service beyond brakes.

Disk Brake Service

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
