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.

Oil Leak Repair in Surrey
“Our goal is to offer a 5-star experience on a consistent basis”
Is Your Car Leaking Fluids?
Your car is a complex piece of equipment. It uses a variety of fluids for different functions, including:
- Engine oil, for lubricating the engine
- Coolant, for keeping the engine at the right temperature
- Transmission fluid, for lubricating and operating the transmission
- Brake fluid, for operating the brakes
- Washer fluid, for cleaning the windshield
- Power steering fluid, which makes it easier to steer
Any of these fluids can leak from your vehicle, leaving a distinctive residue on the ground.
These fluids can be identified by color and texture, and sometimes odor.
Your vehicle uses two fluids that are red:
Power steering fluid and automatic transmission fluid.
Power steering fluid: This can be red, reddish-brown, or brown if it is old. It’s thin in consistency, with an oily feel.
It can smell like burnt marshmallows. Your mechanic can inspect your power steering system.
Automatic transmission fluid: This also starts out red when new, then progressively turns reddish-brown as it wears and the miles pile up.
It feels oily and slick, and thinner than your engine oil. It will smell like petroleum.
Leaks that are orange in color can originate in two different areas of your vehicle
Coolant: This can be an indicator that there is rust in your cooling system, and the rust particles have mixed in with the coolant.
Coolant feels slimy and has a sweet odor. The top cause of serious engine damage is loss of coolant.
Have your cooling system inspected.
Automatic transmission fluid: This can also turn an orange-ish color as it ages. A mechanic can inspect your transmission to confirm.
This comes in many fluorescent colors
Coolant has a sweet odor and a slimy texture.
Losing coolant will lead to overheating if not addressed, and if the engine overheats, you can be left stranded and with a huge repair bill.
An inspection of your cooling system can identify the source of the leak.
Windshield washer fluid:
Brake fluid:
IMPORTANT: If you find this, it isn’t safe to drive your car. Instead, get it to a mechanic, where the brake system can be inspected. Brake lines or other parts may need repair or replacement.
Engine oil:
This starts out as a light brown shade when new, then turns darker brown over time, eventually becoming nearly black.
Engine oil has a distinctive smell (check your engine dipstick to get a whiff and compare), and feels thick and slippery to the touch.
You can keep your oil level topped off if the leak is minor, but it’s important to get even a small oil leak inspected and fixed sooner rather than later.
Water & Gasoline
Gasoline: You can best detect gasoline by its distinctive odor, not its texture.
IMPORTANT: If you detect a gasoline leak, it’s unsafe to drive your vehicle. Call your mechanic for advice on how to proceed.
