Dales Autos in short

Dales Autos is a Little Dawley garage trading from Crown Garage on Holly Road, with a booking landing page and a phone line but almost no published detail on services, hours or history. The page carries the trading name without any menu of work, so the phone call does the heavy lifting. Name, phone and address agree across the listing and the page. Our view: the rating-first pick for drivers near Little Dawley who judge a garage mainly on customer feedback.

Customer reviews give 4.9 on Google from 156 ratings, the only source we hold and joint top of the round on rating. What counts against Dales Autos: no prices, insurance details, accreditations or company record are published, so the labour rate and legal form stay unknown until a written quote from Dales Autos lands.

We rate the rating itself a starting point only, because little else about the business is published [2]. Labour rates, parts policy and how extras are authorised are all unstated.

Strengths

  • The 4.9 rating from 156 reviews, seen 3 September 2026, sits joint top of this round on rating [2].

  • Name, phone and Crown Garage address agree across the Google listing and the business's own landing page [1][2].

Limitations

  • The website is a booking stub with no services, hours, prices or history, so website, pricing and trading history all score as insufficient evidence [1].

  • No insurance details are published and no company record was found, so legal form and safeguards stay unknown [3].
