The company’s history began in 1919 when founder Paul E. Balise purchased a welder and began fixing farm equipment and automobiles from his backyard garage in Hatfield, MA. He later opened the Hatfield Garage and became an associate Chevrolet dealer. In 1929, he moved to Chicopee Falls, MA, to open a Chevrolet dealership and used car outlet. By the early 1930s, the dealership had moved to Main Street in the South End section of Springfield, MA. James E. Balise took over as CEO in 1958. Under his leadership, the company opened one of the first Honda automobile dealerships in North America in 1971. Today, the group has grown from that small garage to include 24 new and pre-owned car dealerships, a credit-assisting pre-owned car outlet, five collision repair centers, and Flash Car Wash, a car wash operation in New England.
