Do Teslas require regular maintenance?

Yes. While they have fewer moving parts than gas vehicles, Tesla models still require suspension service, brake maintenance, cooling system service, and alignments.

Why do Tesla control arms wear out?

Tesla vehicles are heavy and produce instant torque, which accelerates bushing and joint wear.

Do Teslas need brake service?

Yes. Regenerative braking reduces pad wear, but rotors often corrode due to low friction use.

How often should a Tesla get an alignment?

We recommend checking alignment annually or every 20,000 km to prevent inner tire wear.

Can an independent shop repair Tesla vehicles?

Yes. Dale’s Auto Service provides professional Tesla mechanical repair and service without dealership pricing.

  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.

TESLA Brake Service FAQ

1) Do Teslas really need brake service if regen does most of the work?
Yes. Regen reduces friction brake use, which can cause rotor corrosion and pad glazing. Periodic inspections, fluid tests, and proper bedding keep braking strong and quiet.

2) How often should I flush Tesla brake fluid?
We test fluid moisture during inspections. Many owners benefit from a flush every 2–3 years to protect ABS/ESP components and maintain pedal feel.

3) My Tesla steering wheel shakes when braking—rotors?
Likely rotor thickness variation or rust buildup. We measure runout and thickness to confirm. Often solved with new rotors/pads and correct bedding.

4) Can you service the electronic parking brake (EPB)?
Absolutely. We use Service Mode to retract/apply calipers safely and check EPB operation during brake service.

5) Do you work on other vehicles too?
Yes—we’re a full auto repair & service facility for all makes and models, including European, domestic, Asian, hybrids, and EVs.
