    Bill and his team are professional and extremely knowledgeable from when you walk in until you're ready to pick up your vehicle.  Even set up my rental car for pick up and drop off right there!

    After hitting a deer with my vehicle I was referred by my insurance company to Dawley for the repairs. The entire experience from scheduling the appointment for appraisal, drop off for repair, arrangements for rental, time for work to be completed, communication about insurance payments and pick up were easy and accommodating. The final result of the repair was better than I expected and I can not be more grateful! This team went out of their way to make my car look as good as new. I would recommend them to anyone!

    I went to Dawley because my insurance sent me there, so I had no idea what to expect.  I was thrilled with the experience.  Joanne is an angel.  She was amazing right from the start, helping out with with my insurance, rental car, everything.  And Bill is a great guy, very nice and gave me a great estimate.  A problem developed along the way, no fault of theirs and they went out of their way to make it right.  I would definitely recommend them.  Very professional, very kind and very fair.  And excellent work!  My car looks fantastic!  Great family business.  Very highly recommended!!!

    They were amazing ! My Dodge Charger is my baby, she was attacked by a deer one early morning and it was a mess (the deer survived).  I was devastated, first accident I ever had, I was very worried about the process to get the damage repaired. Dawley’s to the rescue ! I just can’t say enough good things about their communication, the unbelievable quality of their work and how incredibly pleasant they are.  They handled every aspect of the repair, dealing with my insurance company and the rental car company.  They kept me constantly informed and updated about every detail.  I have recommended them to several people already and will continue to do so.  They are a first class operation and I could not be happier with the results! I will never go anywhere else.
