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.

Wheel alignment (also called tire alignment or four-wheel alignment) is the precise adjustment of camber, caster, and toe so your tires meet the road at the correct angles.

Proper alignment keeps your vehicle tracking straight, improves safety, and protects your tires and suspension.

At Dale’s Auto Service in Surrey, our best-in-class mechanics use computerized alignment equipment to dial in accurate specs for all makes and models, including lowered cars, lifted trucks, performance setups, and vehicles with aftermarket suspension.

Signs You Need an Alignment

Vehicle pulls to the left or right
Off-centre steering wheel when driving straight
Uneven tire wear (inside/outside edge wear, feathering)
Vibration or wandering at highway speeds
After suspension/steering repairs, hitting a pothole, or installing new tires/wheels

What We Adjust (The Big 3)

Camber – inward/outward tilt of the tire for cornering and contact patch
Caster – fore/aft angle of the steering axis for stability and return-to-centre feel
Toe – direction tires point relative to each other for straight-line stability and tire life

Our Alignment Process (Done Right)

Road test & inspection of tires, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and ride height
Precision measurements on our laser/computerized alignment rack
OEM or performance specs applied (street, track, off-road, or tire-life focused)
Adjustments to factory cam bolts, eccentrics, shims, or adjustable arms
Steering angle reset and printout of before/after specs for your records
