  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.

Pre-alignment Expectations at Dale’s Auto Service:

Before bringing your vehicle in for a wheel alignment, it’s essential to understand our pre-alignment expectations to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Safety Check: Whether your car has been worked on by us or another facility, we prioritize safety above all else. We’ll thoroughly inspect the steering and suspension to ensure they’re in proper working condition and safe for operation.

2. Front Tie Rods: We’ll check that the front tie rods are not seized. If they are, we won’t use heat to free them up as it can compromise their integrity. Replacement tie rods are available and inexpensive.

3. Component Wear: It’s crucial that ball joints, bushings, and tie rods show no signs of wear or play. We’ll also check for loose or worn bearings and ensure there are no leaking struts or shocks.

4. Steering Box: Minor play in the steering box is permissible, but excessive wear will need attention.

5. Tire Safety: We’ll inspect the tires to ensure they’re safe for alignment and road use.

6. Vehicle Ability: Your car must be able to run under its own power to undergo alignment.

If your vehicle has undergone restoration, please ensure the facility/person has double-checked their work to avoid any potential issues.

We kindly request booking a steering/suspension re-torque if you’re unsure whether it has been done. This helps streamline the alignment process.

We do charge for inspections, as it takes our technicians’ time. Our aim is to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing any overlooked issues upfront.

Please familiarize yourself with the condition of these components before your appointment. If unsure, ask for a steering and suspension inspection when booking.

At Dale’s Auto Service, we conduct thorough steering/suspension inspections, ensuring we don’t overlook any potential issues. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to serving you soon!
