BALISE COMPANY HISTORY
Company founder Paul E. Balise grew up on a farm in Hatfield, Massachusetts. In 1919 he purchased a welder and began fixing farm equipment and automobiles from his backyard garage. Then he opened the Hatfield Garage and became an associate Chevrolet dealer in Hatfield.
In March of 1929 Paul moved to Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts and opened a Chevrolet dealership and Used Car Outlet in Chicopee. In the early 1930's he moved the Chevrolet dealership to Main Street in the South End section of Springfield, Massachusetts. A few years later Balise Chevrolet moved into a former Dodge dealership on what is now East Columbus Avenue.
James E. Balise, one of Paul's ten children, became President and Dealer of Balise Motor Sales in 1958. In August of 1971, under Jim's leadership, Balise opened one of the first Honda automobile dealerships in North America. Balise Honda originally operated out of the East Columbus Avenue location alongside Balise Chevrolet. In May of 1985 Balise Honda moved to a new facility on Riverdale Street in West Springfield and a few years later Balise Chevrolet moved across the street to its present location on Hall of Fame Avenue.
Jim's son, James E. Balise, Jr. (Jeb), became President and Dealer of Balise Motor Sales in 1986. Today, Balise is one of the largest retailers of new and used automobiles in New England. Headquartered in West Springfield, Massachusetts, the organization employs over 1000 associates at facilities in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Fast and easy I came in about a month ago and spoke with Josh about turning my lease in early. It was about 6months early and instead of pushing me away he gave me I came in about a month ago and spoke with Josh about turning my lease in early. It was about 6months early and instead of pushing me away he gave me plenty of options and I told him cars I would be interested in. He told me he would try to get me on the buy back program Feb. 1st to turn my lease in early. Sure enough on Feb. 1st I got an email about getting a new lease. The email was from Shaun (Josh's brother) so we went back and forth. On the 2nd I emailed Shaun with what I wanted, price range, type of car, coverage, and that day I met with him in person. A few hours later he was able to check all the boxes I wanted and I got a new lease saving myself over $200 a month between payments and insurance. I couldn't thank the Joseph brothers enough for everything that they did for me! I'll def be back to see them for my next lease!!! Keep up the good work! More
