Daltons Midway Service

A Special Anniversary For A Special Person!

Here’s to you, Jack! May you have many more years with us.

September marks 37 years that Jack has worked for Daltons Midway Service. He doesn’t remember his exact start date, but he knows that it was “sometime in September”. What a treat to have such a loyal Auto Mechanic working for us!

Also, this month marks the ten-year anniversary of Jack’s diagnosis of Colon Cancer. To this day, he is Cancer-Free. Hooray! Jack, congratulations! We hope to be able to harass you for many years to come.

Jack is around our Clearview shop five days a week, so stop by anytime, or make an auto repair appointment at our website: http://www.daltonsmidway.com/

The Importance Of Pre-Purchase Inspection

Get that used car checked out!

Are you buying a new (to you) Vehicle for you or a loved one sometime soon? Do you think you’re getting “a really good deal”? It may be cheap for a reason, so make sure you take the Used Vehicle to your Local Mechanic for a Pre-Purchase Inspection prior to handing over your money.

A good Used Vehicle Seller will happily let you get a Pre-Purchase Inspection, since they will have nothing to hide. Be sure to go to your Auto Mechanic, or a third party who is not associated with the seller, to get an accurate report.

We are available for Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspections at Daltons Midway Service in Clearview! Visit our website at https://www.daltonsmidway.com/blog/home/ and click on the Schedule Appointment button, or call us at 360-668-7111.

Summer Is Still Here!

Summer Vibes Are Still Here!

August is upon us, but summer is not over yet! In the Pacific Northwest, we will likely have a few more weeks of warm temperatures. Here are a few tips to keep your Vehicle working like a charm in the summer heat.

Make sure your Tires are properly inflated. Heat expands gases, so if you measure your Tire Pressure when they are warm, you may get an inaccurate reading. It’s best to measure Tire Pressure in the mornings or evenings during the summer.

Check your fluids to make sure they are in good condition, and that they are at the right levels. This will help ensure that your Vehicle will not overheat, especially on those fun Road Trips.

If you feel like your Air Conditioning System is not working at 100%, you may need a recharge. Your Local Mechanic can help you out with that!
Please stop by or give us a call at 360-668-7111, and we are happy to help you navigate your car’s summer needs!

Fix My Car AC!

Even the sun is sweating!

Yep, we knew it was coming. Just like night follows day, the warm temperatures were eventually heading our way to Western Washington. Is your Vehicle Air Conditioning not performing its best? Or is your Car Air Conditioning not working at all? Don’t worry, you’re not too late. At Daltons Midway, we have the tools to get you driving cool! Give us a call at 360-668-7111, and our Skilled Auto Mechanics are happy to get your Air Conditioning blowing cold again.

Don’t Fear The Repair Shop!

We strive for a friendly, open environment. Ask us anything!

Do you feel intimidated by the thought of taking your vehicle to a repair shop, afraid that you will be bombarded with terminology that you haven’t heard since high school auto shop? Or maybe ever? Are you ashamed that you don’t know the difference between an air filter and an air horn? Worse yet, are you afraid that because of your lack of knowledge, you will end up agreeing to extremely costly repairs that you don’t need?


At Daltons Midway Service, we believe in making sure the customer understands everything about their vehicle. Please don’t hesitate to ask our advisers or our mechanics questions, no matter how big or small! Our friendly team is always happy to educate the customer, so that you know what repairs are needed at what time.


We’d love to see your smiling faces at Daltons Midway North! When you’re in need of a repair, give us a shout: 360-668-7111.

“The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.”

Now’s The Time To Maintain Your Air Conditioning!

Checking on your car's AC
Checking on your car’s AC

I know — the weather has been downright miserable in the Puget Sound area recently! Your Vehicle’s Air Conditioning system is probably the last thing on your mind. But perhaps we can use this cold snap as a reminder that equally warm weather will soon be on its way! And when it’s hot outside, you definitely want to have a functioning AC system in your Car.

Why not have Daltons Midway Service take a look at your Vehicle’s Air Conditioning system right now, while you don’t yet need it? Then, it will be ready in time for summer. Give us a call at 360-668-7111 and we will be happy to help!

Vehicle Safety: Brakes

Which do your brake pads resemble?

In terms of safe driving, being able to stop is one of the most important things. If your Brakes are worn out, they may not allow you to stop properly. Brake Pads and Rotors are often changed every 40,000 miles on a car, but you may be able to go longer — or you may need to change them sooner — if you experience some of the following symptoms.
Is your Vehicle taking longer to stop when you hit the Brakes? Are your Brakes squeaking, vibrating, or squealing every time you hit them? Do you hear a grinding sound when you press down on the Brake pedal? All three of these may be indicators that your Brake Pads are worn and need replacing. Please stop by your local Auto Repair Shop and have a Mechanic professionally assess your Vehicle’s Brake Pads and Rotors.
We are happy to check your Brakes in Clearview at Daltons Midway Service, to keep you safely on the road! Give us a call at 360-668-7111.
