Dale’s Auto Service – The Best Mechanic Near You for All Makes & Models

When your vehicle hits a curb or pothole, the damage can be more serious than it appears. Misaligned wheels, bent suspension components, damaged tires, and compromised steering can quickly turn into unsafe driving conditions.

At Dale’s Auto Service, we specialize in suspension repair, steering correction, wheel alignment, and damage assessment for curb and pothole impacts. Drivers across the Lower Mainland trust us because we manage the entire process—from towing to ICBC claim handling to complete repair.

If your vehicle suddenly pulls to one side, vibrates, sits uneven, or feels unstable, you may have internal damage that requires immediate attention.

We’ll take care of everything.
