  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) What are the most common Subaru suspension parts to wear out?
Struts/shocks, control arm bushings, sway bar links, ball joints, and tie-rods. White Rock’s mix of city streets and coastal roads accelerates wear; we inspect all related components during your visit.

2) Do I need an alignment after replacing suspension parts?
Yes. Anytime you change tie-rods, control arms, struts, or ride height, a 4-wheel alignment is essential to protect tires and restore factory handling.

3) OEM vs aftermarket—what’s best?
It depends on goals and budget. We’ll recommend OEM for factory feel and quality aftermarket (e.g., KYB/Bilstein/Moog) for durability or performance. All options include a clear warranty.

4) Can I drive with a clunking noise?
It’s risky. A failing joint or loose component can worsen quickly and affect safety. Book a quick inspection to prevent further damage.

5) Do you only work on Subaru?
No—Subaru is a specialty, but we service all makes and models. If you need auto repair and service near you in White Rock, we’ve got you covered.
