Connecticut’s Top Rated Local® Auto Shops Award Winner: Duddie Automotive

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Duddie Automotive is a 2019 award winner for auto shops in Connecticut!

For all of your auto repair needs in Meriden, there’s no better shop to entrust your vehicle to than Duddie Automotive.

Duddie Automotive has received dozens of reviews on four verified sites with an average rating of 4.91 stars, earning them an outstanding Rating Score™ of 97.08 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five auto shops in all of Connecticut!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I have used Duddie Automotive for service and have purchased a vehicle from them. Joe, who runs the garage, comes off as a very honest, genuine, straight forward guy. He does good, efficient, quality work for a reasonable price. It’s kind of what you want in a garage — [they] do it right, do it on time and do it at a fair price. I would recommend them to a friend and look forward to doing business [with them] again in the future.”

Not Your Average Auto Shop

Joe, the owner of Duddie Automotive, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Duddie Automotive apart from the many other auto shops in Connecticut. Joe pointed to their experience and their personal service, and said:

“We do quality work.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Duddie Automotive and how they work to make the world a better place. Joe told us that they aim to be available for people in their community, and to make auto service more convenient for them.

Building Success by Asking the Right Questions

When we asked Joe about Duddie Automotive’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:

“We decipher what the customer needs, so that we can fix their vehicle properly. We ask the right questions in order to get the right answers.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Duddie Automotive has spread the word about who they are and what they do through Facebook, Instagram and by running ads. They also work with a third-party company.

Clearly, Joe knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Fix it right the first time.”


Congratulations to the team at Duddie Automotive for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Joe, for taking the time to speak with us!
