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.

MINI Alignment FAQ

1. How often should a MINI Cooper get a wheel alignment?

MINI recommends checking alignment every 12 months, or sooner if you notice pulling, uneven tire wear, or suspension changes.

2. Does a lowered MINI require a special alignment?

Yes—lowered or modified MINIs need custom alignment specs to prevent tire wear and maintain proper handling. We specialize in performance geometry.

3. Can a bad alignment damage my MINI?

Yes. Misalignment causes premature tire wear, poor fuel economy, and additional stress on suspension components.

4. How long does a MINI wheel alignment take?

A standard alignment takes 45–60 minutes, while custom performance setups may take longer depending on adjustments.

5. Do you align all makes & models or only MINI?

We service all makes and models, but we are especially known for our MINI, BMW, and European alignment expertise.

Is Your Vehicle Ready for a Wheel alignment?

Pre-alignment expectations:

If the car has been worked on by you or another facility make sure:

  • make sure the condition of the steering and suspension are safe and in proper working condition.
  • the front tie rods are not seized. They are quite inexpensive and we will not use heat to free them up.
  • ball joints, bushings, tie rods are not worn- no play/wear
  • bearings are not loose or worn
  • no leaking struts/shocks
  • steering box is not worn- minor play allowed
  • tires are safe
  • the car has to be able to run under its own power
  • if the vehicle was restored, make sure the facility/person has double checked their work. We do not have time to do this if the vehicle is only in for an alignment. Please book the vehicle in for a steering/suspension re-torque if you do not know if it has been done. We will then proceed with the wheel alignment.

If the car comes in for an alignment and it passes our inspection of the components above we will proceed.

If anything fails we do charge for an inspection since it takes our technician time to do this. We do not want to waste your time and money because these things were not looked at.

If you do not know the condition of these components please ask for a steering and suspension inspection when booking then if everything is fine we will proceed with the wheel alignment.

We are very in depth with our steering/suspension inspections and we will not turn a “blind eye” to any suspension issues since we are liable to any future issues.

Thanks for understanding and hope to see you soon!
