Testimonials

On 3/31/2026 Ryan Callahan had this to say:
Excellent service. Consulted for a second opinion regarding a brake issue. Dale's diagnosis was ultimately correct and substantially less expensive than what was recommended by other shop. Very pleased!

On 3/28/2026 Kristi Beckman had this to say:
I was two hours from home in an area I’m not familiar with on my way to my son’s Robotics tournament. Suddenly, the oil pressure in my car dropped. I was fortunate enough to be close to Dale’s service and towing. I arrived, and their staff helped me solve a small issue causing a leak that could have become a catastrophic problem. They helped me immediately. I didn’t have to wait, they got me back on my way and I didn’t even miss the first robotics match. I was charged a very fair/reasonable price for the service provided and was incredibly grateful to this shop. Thank you so much for saving the day (and my van!)

On 3/11/2026 Rick Steele had this to say:
Driving to Rochester, MN from Missouri and my water pump went out and threw the belt. Dale’s picked me up at 3PM on Hwy 63, towed my truck into Waverly. They immediately diagnosed the issue, ordered parts, dropped me off at a local hotel, picked me up the next morning and had me going by 10AM the next day. I couldn’t ask for any better service. The shop was clean, quick and professional.
