Business of the Year
Dale Peterson Auto Body
Dale Peterson Auto Body, a longtime Springville business, has been selected by the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce as the 2025 Business of the Year.
In 1978, with 28 years of experience in the auto collision repair business, Dale Peterson decided to start his own business. His knowledge and substantial skills made him one of the most trusted collision repairmen in Utah County. This was the beginning of Dale Peterson Body Shop in Springville.
Working side by side, Dale and his son, Tad, built the business’s first small building at 309 W. 900 North in Springville. The business continues to operate there to this day. There have been many additions made to the building throughout the years as the business continued to grow.
Dale taught Tad from the beginning about the importance of commitment to high-quality work and customer satisfaction. Every vehicle needed to be as important to them as it was to its owner; their work has the Peterson name on it.
After many years of working alongside family and serving his community, Dale passed away Nov. 10, 2024, at the age of 91. He was at the shop nearly every day until only 12 days before his passing. He loved to visit with his family and the customers daily.
Tad, his wife, Amy, and their children — Derek, Travis, Braden and Carmen — continue with the same principles of honesty, hard work, quality craftsmanship and commitment to their customers and each other. The business has provided an opportunity for the family to work together; it has been a true blessing in all of their lives.
Dale Peterson Auto Body provides quality collision repair services. It is I-Car certified in welding, steel sectioning and aluminum repairs as well as OEM approved for repair procedures, Ford certified for aluminum repairs and UDOT certified for towing with an impound yard.
It is a Better Business Bureau A+ credited business and a member of the National Federation of Independent Business. It has been a member of the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce almost since the chamber’s beginning.
The family members would like to express their appreciation for the opportunity of being part of the wonderful Springville/Mapleton community as a family and as business owners. They are extremely grateful for the community’s continued support in the growing of their business and especially for friendships forged.
