  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.

JDM Wheel Alignment FAQ

Q1: How often should I align my JDM vehicle?
Every 12 months or 15,000–20,000 km, and any time after suspension changes, new tires, or a curb/pothole hit.

Q2: Can you align lowered cars with coilovers and camber kits?
Yes. We work with coilovers, adjustable arms, and offset bushings. If range is limited, we’ll recommend parts to reach your target specs.

Q3: Will I get a before/after alignment printout?
Absolutely. You’ll receive documented readings for camber, caster, and toe so you know exactly what changed.

Q4: Can you set custom specs for track or street?
Yes—provide your targets or tell us your use case, and we’ll recommend a balanced setup for grip, tire life, and stability.

Q5: How long does an alignment take?
Typically 60–90 minutes for stock/bolt-on cars. Heavily modified setups or seized hardware can take longer; we’ll advise before proceeding.

Pre-Alignment Checklist:

Before bringing your car in for alignment, please ensure the following:

Confirm that the steering and suspension are in safe, proper working condition.
Check that the front tie rods are not seized, as we do not use heat to free them up.
Inspect ball joints, bushings, and tie rods for signs of wear or play.
Ensure bearings are not loose or worn, and there are no leaking struts or shocks.
Verify the steering box for minor play, and ensure tires are safe for driving.
The vehicle must be capable of running under its own power.
If the vehicle underwent restoration, ensure all work has been double-checked by the facility/person responsible. If unsure, book a steering/suspension re-torque before the alignment appointment.
We will proceed with the alignment once the vehicle passes our inspection

Please note, should any components fail inspection, there will be a charge for the inspection as our technicians invest time in this process. We aim to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing these issues upfront.

Please request a steering and suspension inspection if you do not know the condition of your vehicle.

Thorough inspections and prioritize safety to prevent any future issues.
