He said he could do it in June. I called late May to see when in June he would get me in. He said in August.

Next day I went to the shop and was told if I hadn't heard anything to the contrary the date was on. On the 16th I got a message saying I wasn't on the schedule. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I don't know what the game is... Murphy's Law I guess.

After a ridiculous amount of a wait, Brenda, in the office called the tow company that we were waiting for, and "shook them up". Within 20 minutes the tow showed up. While we were waiting we saw the great body work that they were doing on cars. I would trust these people to work on my car any time. I can't express our appreciation for he kindness we received from the staff at Steve's.

Choosing a new auto shop is a difficult task. I know very little about cars, and it seems like…read morealmost everything related to cars is very unfriendly to women, or maybe to people in general. So I looked on Yelp to find a place in the area that had good reviews. Pleasant Street Auto only had two reviews, but they also took the time to post their own description. And, I liked the range of photos (I'll admit that I was a bit charmed by the photo of someone spray-painting a dinosaur) and the notion that there would be a place to sit and do work, comfortably, not literally sitting outside on a curb as I've had to do on occasion in the past. I was not a great customer up front, I'll admit. I completely forgot our first appointment, and then I became lost on my way for the remedial appointment. Throughout, the staff was patient and professional with me. I can't say a word about the garage/work area because I never saw it, which felt a little odd, but I could certainly get used to it! I don't have the slightest idea what the machines and tools are for, anyway, and so I don't know that seeing and hearing mechanics work really enhances my experience. Instead, I left my car and keys and waited inside. The front desk manages repair work, body work, and also Hertz rentals. When I made my oil change appointment, I was a little worried that I might have a serious issue discovered, and I might therefore need to rent a car. If this had been necessary, I could have managed it all at one location. Convenient! The oil change didn't seem to take all that long. I should have timed it, but I didn't. I think the total wait - even though I was late for my appointment, was well under an hour. During that time, I tried to take advantage of the homey waiting area with a t.v. (though the cable was stutteringly-intermittent), WIFI that didn't seem to work at all, and computers with internet service that required someone to come in and fix it for it to work at all. The computers were kind of old, dodgy, and dirty, but I was able to do some work, which was great. For families, there are toys and books (for kids and adults) and an area for children to hang out and play. I can only imagine that, since the space is open and adjacent to the desk area, it's not much fun for staff when the space gets "active," but it's very nice an accommodating. Overall, this is a huge leap over sitting on a solitary chair in a drafty space next to a noisy garage, or as said, literally sitting on a curb because there's no indoor seating at all. The best bit was that Lee, I believe a member of the family who runs this business, came out to speak with me personally while they were finishing up with the car. He spoke with me in language that I could understand, but not with condescension. There were a number of potential issues with the car, and he prioritized them for me, but he didn't make me feel pressured in any way. I feel like Yelp helped me to find a great fit for a new auto shop, and it's a great relief. I'd highly recommend this establishment to anyone who wants to feel confident about a family-run business that is professional, caring, and extremely well-rounded in terms of services available at a single location. With comfort, too! Great, great experience overall.

Dale's employees like Ed are a fixture of Athol, Orange, and this region of Massachusetts. When I…read moresay a fixture, I mean that they're a member of the community and aren't shy to show it. Just listen to how Ed helped me out when I needed a jump, a tow, and his expertise. So, there I was, at a Sunoco near Route 2. My battery and starter had finally given up the ghost after 10 years of a powerful battery finally being unable to crank my car one more time. But how was I supposed to know after it had jumped and started in the past? So, as I parked at Sunoco, expecting to jump my car, I was shocked by the bad news, and by not putting the positive connection on first. My car wouldn't start. In the cold, I asked my tow truck neighbor, parked, if he could try jumping me. I said I didn't have any money but I had an AAA membership. Ed, his name I learned later as he DID need to come back to tow me, wasn't about to ask for any help. His job was to first make sure people knew Dale's was there and that he was, too. Sure enough, his jumper pack didn't work, and Ed has the experience to boot. "I smell something," was his remark and our common experience. He was confident I had a problem bigger than my jump. So I asked if he could give me a tow with AAA, and he said, sure, as I had a premiere membership and they tow quite a long distance. I just had to call up and see if Dale's was assigned. After I had finally found my new membership card's number, I was relieved to see who was arriving to do my tow. It was Ed!! From Dale's!! He was only a few minutes away, and maybe he informed his dispatch that I'd be calling with a tow any minute. Thank goodness if this is true, because his dispatch caring more about a new call versus a definite need meant Ed had to travel only 10 minutes to get back to me. He had space in his truck to carry me and my child who was managing this displeasure very well this day! The good news for us was that I had a ride coming to get us, so Ed could take my car to a shop I had imagined might help instead of my house. I mentioned their name in Amherst (Gil's), and he knew them, and even told me where. Incredible. I felt like I was part of a support network thanks to Ed and Dale's being aware of the area. Inside the Sunoco, I met their local convenience support, who recognized my tow truck driver. "He's a great guy," was Julie's remark, which I was glad to hear her say. She had already entertained my child and could affirm Ed would get my car where I needed. I can't say if Dale's Auto Body can do a perfect job since they seem to be wearing a lot of hats in this area. However, they aren't some external corporate body, they're local people who care about their reputation and try to do their best with what they got. See what you can to work with them, and I hope you'll have other staff as quality as Ed helping you out. Thank you, Dale's.

I would not recommend anyone doing business with Dale's Auto Body and Towing. I brought my car in…read morebecause it was shaking whenever I hit my brakes. I was told to bring the car into the shop either the night before or that day, and I chose the night before. The next time they called me, I was told that the car was fixed and ready to get picked up. I came in, paid for the service, and left with my car. However, the issue I had brought it in for was not fixed, The shaking was still happening when I used my brakes. I immediately went back and asked Dale to come with me on a drive so I can point out the issue. During the ride, he kept arguing that I needed front brakes instead of admitting that they didn't understand what I was asking for and just fixing what they wanted to. Dale would not fix the issue without me paying more money. In short, I brought my car in, and only wanted them to fix the shaking. They did work I didn't authorize, but did not fix my shaking issue. I was not given a diagnostic and I was not given a quote before these repairs were done. Very poor customer service, I would never trust them with my vehicle again.
