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.

I had such a positive experience with Dil and the entire team at Dale’s Auto Service. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand without ever making me feel rushed or uncomfortable. As a woman, going into a mechanical or automotive repair facility can sometimes feel intimidating, especially if you don’t have a lot of mechanical knowledge. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know whether you are being given all of the information or being treated fairly. My experience at Dale’s Auto Service was completely different. I genuinely felt respected, comfortable, and included throughout the entire process. Dil was especially helpful and made the whole experience incredibly easy. He was patient with all of my questions and made sure I understood what was happening with my vehicle, what was recommended, and why. There was never any pressure, confusing terminology, or feeling like I was being talked down to. Everything was explained professionally and clearly, which gave me a lot of confidence in the work being done. Dale’s Auto Service really does feel like a women-friendly automotive facility. The staff creates an environment where you can comfortably ask questions and actually receive thoughtful, honest answers. They make something that can normally be stressful feel straightforward and manageable. I also really appreciated how organized and professional the entire shop was. The communication was excellent, the customer service was friendly, and I felt like my vehicle was being taken care of by people who genuinely care about doing the job properly.

Lifted Vehicle Wheel Alignment in Cloverdale

Expert Suspension, Steering & Alignment Service for Lifted Trucks & SUVs

When it comes to lifted vehicles, proper wheel alignment is not optional—it’s critical. At Dale’s Auto Service, the best auto service shop in the Lower Mainland, our alignment specialist Jeff brings over 20+ years of suspension, steering, and alignment expertise to ensure your lifted truck or SUV drives straight, handles safely, and protects your tires.

We proudly serve Cloverdale, Surrey, Langley, Aldergrove, White Rock, and the entire Lower Mainland.

Why Lifted Vehicles Need Specialized Alignment

Lifted vehicles change suspension geometry dramatically. If alignment is not corrected properly, you may experience:

  • Premature tire wear

  • Poor straight-line stability

  • Increased wander or pulling

  • Bump steer or darting

  • Vibrations or uneven handling

  • Off-centre or binding steering

Lifted Vehicle Alignment Service FAQ

1. Do lifted vehicles require special alignment settings?

Yes. Lifts change suspension geometry, requiring custom caster, camber, and toe settings that standard shops cannot properly set. Our expert ensures correct geometry for safety and tire longevity.

2. How often should I align a lifted truck or SUV?

We recommend every 12 months or immediately after installing lift components, new tires, or suspension upgrades.

3. Can a regular mechanic align a lifted vehicle?

Most cannot. Lifted vehicles require specialized knowledge, aftermarket adjustment strategies, and equipment that can handle oversized tires. Dale’s offers all of this.

4. Will an alignment fix steering pull or wander on a lifted truck?

Most of the time, yes. Proper caster and toe adjustments significantly improve stability, steering feel, and straight-line behaviour.

5. Do bigger tires affect alignment?

Absolutely. Larger tires increase rolling resistance and change steering behaviour. We adjust alignment to compensate for tire size and wheel offset.

Pre-Alignment Checklist:

Before bringing your car in for alignment, please ensure the following:

  • Confirm that the steering and suspension are in safe, proper working condition.
  • Check that the front tie rods are not seized, as we do not use heat to free them up.
  • Inspect ball joints, bushings, and tie rods for signs of wear or play.
  • Ensure bearings are not loose or worn, and there are no leaking struts or shocks.
  • Verify the steering box for minor play, and ensure tires are safe for driving.
  • The vehicle must be capable of running under its own power.
  • If the vehicle underwent restoration, ensure all work has been double-checked by the facility/person responsible. If unsure, book a steering/suspension re-torque before the alignment appointment.
  • We will proceed with the alignment once the vehicle passes our inspection

Please note, should any components fail inspection, there will be a charge for the inspection as our technicians invest time in this process. We aim to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing these issues upfront.

Please request a steering and suspension inspection if you do not know the condition of your vehicle.

Thorough inspections and prioritize safety to prevent any future issues.
