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

Subaru Brake Service FAQ

How often should Subaru brakes be serviced?
Inspection every 10,000–12,000 km (or each oil change) is smart. Pads/rotors typically last 30,000–70,000 km depending on driving, terrain, and pad compound.

Do I need the dealership for Subaru brakes?
No. Factory-level procedures and parts are available here, often with better turnaround and value—without affecting your warranty.

What does a brake job include?
Proper pad/rotor replacement, hardware & slide lubrication, hub/rotor runout control, torque-to-spec, fluid check/bleed, and a road test. Calipers/hoses are serviced or replaced as needed.

What’s the brake fluid interval on a Subaru?
Typically every 2–3 years (or per Subaru schedule) to prevent moisture-induced boiling and corrosion. We can test fluid to confirm.

What warranty do you offer?
A strong parts & labour warranty on all brake repairs. Ask us for today’s coverage details based on your parts selection (OEM vs premium aftermarket).

The dru­m brake may look complicated, and it can be pretty intimidating when you open one up. Let’s break it down and explain what each piece does.

Like the disc brake, the drum brake has two brake shoes and a piston. But the drum brake also has an adjuster mechanism, an emergency brake mechanism and lots of springs…more

Brake Fluid Flush on a Subaru

Brake fluid is possibly the single most neglected component of the automobile.

Most high performance drivers check their tire pressures and change their engine oil at frequent intervals, but virtually no one ever changes the brake fluid in their street car.

Brake fluid will not be able to handle the heat when it is contaminated…more

ABS/STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

Most vehicles come standard with ABS and some level of traction control, while others include optional stability and roll-over mitigation systems.

Failing to properly repair these systems can put the driver at risk, especially in vehicles with a high center of gravity.

If the ABS light is on, request diagnostic time to identify and resolve the issue…more
