  I have had repeated problems with the DEF system . I went looking for a service center where I could have a conversation about my vehicle with an informed person at the front desk. I found it at Dales.

  I waited a year to see if there would be problems with a timing belt kit install on a Sequoia.  There are none and the Truck runs great, that s why I gave 5 Stars. I would go back.

  Excellent service.

They’re very professional and would always recommend them, the diagnosis was accurate and fast.
It was a  transmission failure  therefore I needed a replacement, which they delivered at a timely manner, despite the amount of work involved.

Great work and quality.

  A+++. I would highly recommend getting your vehicle serviced at Dale’s. Jameson and his team run an honest shop with fair prices, and the tech’s will treat your car as if it was their own. I’ve taken numerous vehicles to Dale’s over the years and have never had a poor experience.

  Yesterday morning as I prepared to leave my home, my car sputtered to start. I drove to Dale's and thankfully my car could get booked in to check the source of the problem. Within 15 minutes, I was called to advise me that I needed a new battery. Within two hours my car was ready for pickup. I have been a customer for many years and I have always received friendly, informed and timely service.

Toyota Suspension Service FAQ

1) What are the signs my Toyota needs suspension or steering repair?
Clunks, uneven tire wear, pulling, off-center wheel, vibration, fluid leaks, or a floaty ride indicate worn components or misalignment. Prompt inspection prevents tire and brake damage.

2) Do I need an alignment after replacing suspension parts?
Yes. Any change to ride height or steering/suspension geometry requires a 4-wheel alignment to restore stability, tire life, and safety.

3) Can you align lifted or lowered Toyotas (Tacoma/4Runner/Tundra)?
Absolutely. We set caster/camber/toe to spec (or your performance goals) and can recommend adjustable components if needed to achieve proper ranges.

4) How often should steering and suspension be inspected?
We recommend an inspection annually or every 20,000–24,000 km, and any time you notice noise, tire wear, or handling changes.

5) Do you service all makes and models or only Toyota?
We’re Toyota specialists and we service all makes and models—cars, SUVs, trucks, and hybrids—with OE-level tooling, data, and procedures.
