With the arrival of winter, many Boise ID residents are thinking about things that need attention during the cold winter months. Timing belt replacement is a high-priority maintenance item to keep in mind. Summertime in Boise is no fun if you're in need of car air conditioning repair work.
Auto shop air conditioning technicians are busiest during the summer months, so don't wait until the heat arrives if you've had any indication that your A/C system is not performing well.Be aware that moderate temperatures don't put demands. As a member shop of the Certified Auto Repair Center program, Dale's Auto Care provides a nationwide warranty for their customers on all covered automotive repairs.

Dale's is committed to providing auto repair video tips, helpful information and other resources to our existing customers and prospective new customers for the purpose of making their repair and maintenance experience less inconvenient and expensive. We will accomplish this by providing ongoing posts and videos that we produce at our Boise, Vista Ave.
Vehicles today have been manufactured with the ability to notify their drivers of possible problems. This notification usually happens in the form of a dash message or check engine warning light. If your vehicle's engine computer detects a problem, the check engine warning will come on. Even though your car, truck or SUV may seem to be running fine, it is unwise to ignore this message.

On the recommendation of a family member, we had my son's car towed to Dale's. They found several things wrong with the car so repairs took longer than expected, but they were diligent about tracking down parts and keeping us informed of progress. I felt like they were honest and professional. Would definitely go back.

There’s a reason I send my fleet as well as my personal truck to Dale’s. This is a company that under promises & over delivers. They’re honest about what they can & can’t do (this far I haven’t found anything they can’t), and they get us up & running fast. What I appreciate most is that they take the time to explain their diagnosis in common terms so that I clearly understand my options & can make the best decision for me. Everyone in the shop is friendly & professional. You never want your rig to be down but when it is you want to take it to Dale’s.

This is a fairly priced, honest establishment. I've had several repair jobs with them and they're awesome! The guys at Dale's have been really up front with what my car has going on, what's best to work on now and what can wait, whether my car is a good candidate for putting more work into or what could indicate if it's a better idea to unload and just look for something else so I'm not left in a lurch. They are great about educating on what issues are so that you can make an informed decision on what to do. They're no-pressure, high quality mechanics. Highly recommend!

The guys here are amazing! They had a busy schedule, but were able to get a new starter in my car within a day of me bringing it to the shop. I was able to get home for my birthday weekend, and it seemed to fix some other problems with my car. Win, win! Local shop, great people, highly recommend.

My family broke down east of Boise. After getting our truck delivered to Dale's, they were able to get a diagnosis right away with reasonable options for us. Not only that but put our truck inside the shop for us because we had a full bed. Russ was a great guy to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to do business there again. Thank you.

Wonderful service!! Very good at following up to let you know what is going on with your vehicle. Sent us quotes multiple times to help us determine the best service for our budget. Amazing communication and very helpful with questions. Explained things clearly even in a way that is easy to understand if you don’t know much about cars.

The team at Dales was some of the finest I have encountered. I rolled in at 2am with no brakes on a 1 ton truck. I requested online and Sam texted me at 8am. They completely rebuilt my brakes with a warranty for a very fair price. Good people here.

I have been going to Dale’s for 15 years, and I am always happy with their service. They always get my vehicle done before expected. I never have issues again with the things that they’ve fixed, and they’re very proactive about getting things fixed before they causes other problems. They are also fairly priced and they are good about giving me options to fit my budget and letting me know the least expensive way to go for the long run.

I had taken our car to a few shops around town for quotes and a general concern that there was something else wrong besides the entire clutch. Sam took the time and diagnosed the car and found it was only a slave cylinder! They treated me with respect and listened like I knew what I was talking about! I will definitely be back to see Sam and Russ again!

I called Dale's a few weeks ago to see if they could get me in for a Pre-Purchase Inspection. Unfortunately, they were booked out a little far so I made arrangements somewhere else, BUT, I'm giving this 5 star review because the man I spoke to on the phone was REALLY nice and helpful. He really tried to get me in and I appreciate his friendliness and his effort. I didn't get his name but he was great! I'll definitely be calling Dale's back for other car care needs.

When my car was broken and unable to even be driven to their shop they went out of their way to help me get it to their shop, as a single and broke mom this made all the difference in the world, I wouldnt have been able to afford the repair if I had to pay for a tow. They fixed it very quickly so I was able to get back to work and get my kids to school. It was a fairly small part but needed a ton of work to actually get to, they charged me less than I could've bought the part for myself for the part I needed and their labor cost was more than fair. They were so nice and easy to do business

Traveling cross country with auto problems. Sam was completely booked but fit us right in due to our traveling situation. He was so professional and kind. They checked and fixed everything within an hour. Tod checked us out and explained in detail what was going on with our car. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for saving the day!

Great service! Very personable and honest! I took my work truck into Dales and I couldn't be happier! They were so personable and friendly, not to mention they found the leak in my radiator and gave me some recommendations, with no pressure sales. Great to see a honest professional auto shop! I will be returning!

We took our 2003 Acura into Dales late on a Friday afternoon because it was making a loud strange noise in the brakes area. They found a rock chip that had lodged in the rotor. They removed it and sent us on our way. They could have said it was something else and charged us but instead they were 100% honest with us. That shows me a lot and I will definitely use them in the future for our automotive needs when we move to Boise.

I'm driving a '93 Buick, so a decent mechanic is essential. These guys fill the bill, replacing fuel pump and filter at a reasonable rate in a decent amount time. PLUS they looked the old girl over and gave me a heads up on potential things to watch for in the future WITHOUT trying to add to the bill. And they're on a bus line so it's not hard to get to them. Grateful for their service!

These guys are awesome. Best customer service I've ever gotten from a mechanic shop. I've taken both my vehicles in for major repairs after being quoted ridiculous amounts from the dealerships. Todd kept me updated regularly and the bill was much less than expected. Vehicles were fixed right with no future problems. Highly recommend
