Quality service and their inspections are THOROUGH. Very worth getting an inspection done. Quotes are accurate, their facilities are clean and staff are patient with all my questions. 100% recommend.
Jonathan Paul2024-03-27I recently took my vehicle to Dale's to have my rear brakes serviced. The service advisor was friendly and helpful. The servicing was done quickly (car back before end of day) and without issue. Saved a ton over taking it to the dealer. I'm definitely going back for any other servicing needs.

Reasons Why Your Car Won't Start
There are a lot of reasons why your car won’t start, but some are more common than others.
1. Dead Battery
A dead battery is the most common reason why your car won’t start. The battery is what the car uses to provide electrical power to the entire car.
Your battery can die for a variety of reasons:
- Your headlights or dome light was left on overnight or for too long
- You have a loose wire
- The water inside the component evaporated, leading to poor conductivity
- The battery’s lifespan has expired
Some common symptoms include:
- None of the electrical components work (e.g. the lights, radio, etc.).
- Battery light is on.
2. Defective Ignition Switch
If you know your battery is working properly, but your car doesn’t turn over on the first few tries, you might have a problem with the ignition switch.
3. Faulty Starter
A broken starter is another common reason your car won’t start. A starter is an electrical motor that is connected to the battery.
Some common symptoms include:
- Car is not starting when turning the ignition key.
- Hear a loud clicking sound when turning the ignition key, but the engine does not start.
- Very noisy when trying to turn on your car.
4. Clogged Fuel Filter
If your fuel filter is clogged, the gasoline won’t be able to reach the engine. This makes it difficult for your car to burn the fuel it needs to get going.
5. Empty gas tank
You might feel a bit silly if this is the reason why your car isn’t starting, but it happens more often than you may think!
