About Us
Dales Automotive
Dale’s Automotive started out as a Minit-Tune & Lube franchise in the late 1970’s. It was purchased from the estate of the owner in 1992 by Dale Sutherland, who dropped the franchise and went on to create an auto repair business based on trust and excellent workmanship.
In 2002, Jon and Tabitha Meyer purchased the business and continued serving residents of Fort St. John and the surrounding communities with the best possible automobile and light truck service at reasonable prices. Jon was born and raised in FSJ, and has first-hand knowledge of your needs and the needs of local industry.
They have continually invested capital back into the business in the form of tools, equipment, and training to provide the best service possible to their friends, community, and the business you own or work for. If you have an automotive problem, or if you need to schedule maintenance to prevent a problem, make Dale’s your first call! (If you call Jon ‘Dale”, we promise he won’t be offended; Dale is a pretty good guy!)

We are a locally owned family business. We believe in doing the right thing even when it isn’t the easiest thing to do. When you put your trust in us, we insist that your safety and satisfaction is our highest priority. By investing much of our profit in training, tools, and equipment, we are constantly becoming more skilled and better equipped to take care of you. Because we also believe in giving back to our community and people in need, we give generously and regularly to local and international charitable groups that have an immediate positive impact on people who need help most.
