How much does suspension repair cost?

The cost of suspension repair varies based on the parts that need replacement. Contact us for a detailed estimate.

Can I drive with a bad suspension?

Driving with a worn suspension system can be dangerous, affecting braking, stability, and tire wear. We recommend getting it inspected as soon as possible.

Do you offer performance suspension upgrades?

Yes! We install lift kits, leveling kits, and high-performance shocks for trucks and off-road vehicles.

  Just got a CORSA Sport cat-back exhaust installed on my Cadillac Escalade at Dales Auto Service. The exhaust sounds amazing aggressive, and clean without being too much. The install was done professionally and everything came out perfect. Really happy with the service and the final result. Highly recommend Dales Auto Service!

  I only trust dales for a proper assessment of anything that is wrong with my truck. I had gone to the dealer a week before and the amount of things they missed was shocking.  They really do take the time to give a proper report and provide the correct and full diagnosis the first time .  Highly recommend dales to everyone.

  My wife had obtained two estimates on her Subaru to get bering work done which seemed a bit high and work that was not required was included in both. I suggested she try Dale’s and she was at their quick response and price. The work was performed by Dale’s to her complete satisfaction. We will both be getting our work done there in the future. Happy customers, Elfie & Gary

  Had a issue with my car after I lowered it and added a few other parts. I needed to get it done asap because i had my dads celebration of life fast approaching and needed it fixed asap. I was able to get it in rite away and they were able to find the issue, install some parts I had and get the alignment done all before my trip. After the work was done the techs that fixed it spent a few mins telling me what they had to do to get it fixed and suggestions on other things I could do to help with a bit of rubbing i was having. Friendly staff and quality work.

Subaru Suspension Service FAQ

1) How do I know if my Subaru needs suspension work?
If you hear clunks/creaks, feel vibration or wandering, notice uneven tire wear, or the vehicle sits uneven, it’s time for a professional inspection and alignment.

2) Do I need an alignment after replacing struts or control arms?
Yes. Any steering/suspension change alters geometry. We align to factory specs (or your performance specs) and provide a printout.

3) OEM vs aftermarket—what do you recommend?
We’ll recommend best-value options for your goals (comfort, longevity, performance) and explain part and labor warranties up front.

4) Can you install lift/level kits on Subarus and keep it safe on-road?
Absolutely. We set caster/camber/toe correctly, address bushing angles, and road-test to ensure proper stability and tire life.

5) How fast can you diagnose and fix steering issues?
Most inspections happen the same or next business day. Parts availability and scope determine repair time; we keep you updated with clear ETAs.
