  I have had repeated problems with the DEF system . I went looking for a service center where I could have a conversation about my vehicle with an informed person at the front desk. I found it at Dales.

  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.

Oil Leak Service FAQ

1) Is it safe to drive with an oil leak?
Short distances may be okay for minor seepage, but running low on oil can damage your engine quickly. We recommend an inspection as soon as you notice a leak.

2) How do you find the exact source of the leak?
We combine a visual inspection, UV dye & light, and pressure testing. Cleaning the area lets us verify the active source—not just the area where oil collects.

3) What does an oil leak repair typically cost?
Costs vary by location and severity. A valve cover gasket is often a moderate repair; timing cover or rear main seal jobs are more involved. We provide a written estimate before work begins.

4) Can the wrong oil cause leaks?
Using incorrect viscosity or low-quality oil can worsen seepage. We use oils that meet or exceed manufacturer specs for your engine.

5) Do you work on European and performance vehicles?
Absolutely. We service BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Ford, Dodge, GM and more—all makes and models including turbo and performance builds.
