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.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Dale’s Auto Service. The level of knowledge, professionalism, and diagnostic equipment they have is on another level. I brought my brand new Dodge Ram RHO to them after dealing with an issue that the dealership repeatedly dismissed. I was constantly being sent away and made to feel like I was imagining the problem to the point where I genuinely started questioning myself. Then I came to Dale’s. They used advanced diagnostic equipment and actually took the time to investigate the truck properly. They didn’t just guess or throw parts at it they found the actual issue and showed me exactly what was wrong. That moment alone was huge for me because it confirmed that I wasn’t crazy and that there really was a significant issue with my brand new truck. What impressed me most is that they actually listen. They take the time to understand what the customer is experiencing and then use their knowledge, experience, and equipment to get to the bottom of it. In my experience, the dealership had absolutely nothing on these guys when it came to properly diagnosing the problem. Jameson and Dil at the front desk are also fantastic. They’re super friendly, professional, accommodating, and make you feel taken care of from the moment you walk through the door. I’ve been bringing my brand new Dodge Ram RHO here for oil changes since the beginning, and after this experience, I can confidently say I’ll never go back to the dealership again for this kind of service. Dale’s Auto Service has earned my trust, and that’s not something I give out easily. 10/10 without hesitation. If you’re looking for a shop that actually knows what they’re doing, listens to their customers, has the technology to properly diagnose difficult issues, and genuinely cares about doing the job right go to Dale’s Auto Service. You won’t regret it.

I just wanted to write a review dealing with Hailey about a purchase I recently made… I had a few questions and some unusual circumstances, she went above and beyond to accommodate everything I had questions about ordering shipping and the part itself. She was very knowledgeable and prompt!! Thank you Hailey for all your help :) Happy customer and great customer service. Mike

REDHEAD Steering Gear Rebuild Info

We specialize in custom steering gear rebuilds for trucks, such as Quick Ratio Steering Gear Boxes for pick-ups and sport utility vehicles.”

Our re-manufacturing process:

  • Machining out the housings and installing needle bearings
  • Flame-spraying or replacing the shafts as needed Installing new control valves on some applications
  • Custom fitting each worm & piston assembly with special ordered, precise over-sized ball bearings.

Other things we do to produce a top quality product include:

  • Install every sector shaft on a lathe to check for straight and true
  • polish the sealing surface to a higher polish than new.

Some original housings are manufactured without bushing or bearings. This is commonly seen in some Ford steering gears and Chrysler steering gears.  We re-bore these units and install needle bearings.

We use only the highest quality seals. All our seals are either O.E.M. or produced by two high quality, long time suppliers of our industry.

Probably the most unique and important thing we do is custom fit every single worm and piston assembly with new precision fit steel balls. This is a process not matched by any other company in the industry. This process is very important. The machining tolerances of the original manufacturing leave a small and varying amount of play that can be corrected in no other way.

Why don’t other builders do this? It is expensive and time consuming to set up. This is one of the reasons you may find another unit somewhere else for less money but the quality cannot be beat. This is why we proudly declare that we are “Not the Biggest… Just the Best!”

We also stock what we have found to be the highest quality RACK and PINION units available. Although these units are not built in-house, we have selected the highest quality manufacturer and product we could find. They have the most comprehensive testing process in the busines
