I wound up with a flat tire in the Stop & Shop parking lot across the street from Plunske's. No…read moreproblem, I figured: I know how to change a tire. But it was a rental car, and I immediately discovered there was no spare tire -- just a device to inject fix-a-flat goo and compressed air into the flat. I'd never seen such a device before, so I walked over to Plunske's and asked for their advice. The first person I spoke to dropped what he was doing to help me figure out how to use the gizmo. I returned to my car, reinflated the tire, and drove it to Plunske's. There I encountered a second employee -- Dan, I think -- who was just as friendly and even more helpful. He removed the tire, carefully checked it visually for holes or leaks, immersed it in water to look for bubbles (and found none), replaced it on the car, made sure it was properly reinflated, and sent me on my way. The whole process with Dan took about 30-40 minutes, and he couldn't have been nicer or more thorough. I'm very grateful for the assistance of both people who helped me at Plunske's.

The reason for the breakdown wasn't found at this time but was found later at s different garage but that didn't stop these predators from finding something that needed to be done. I ended up agreeing to having the breaks done, which I've had done numerous times before so I knew what it should cost. These predators charged me twice the going rate.

This is also because To leave it would add $30 a day to my bill. I was completely shocked at the blatant fraudulent behavior and intentional actions they took to be sure my vehicle remained in their possession. . They claim to also close at 5pm and the hours listed here say 7 pm. They also after getting my tow truck to leave without my vehicle and me, that they could do it right then (5:40pm)!! For an extra $275!!! The complete disrespect and disregard for my financial situation,my property and my well being was totally unacceptable . I had the money for the bill , I was there at 2 pm and again at 4 pm to pay and they rather operate fraudulently for as much $ they can. After I walked in 100 degrees humidity without any help whatsoever .to return the following day to hope they would apologize and do everything they could to right their wrong I was told to leave and I owe even more for the evening that it sat due to their own deliberate practices .. Unreal and unlawful, I am now again sitting in awe at this and still have not been able to recover my car. I'm calling this in to the DMV compliance unit for towing co. I can only hope it doesn't become out of reach to pay and retrieve my only car. SCAMMERS..

I strongly urge anyone considering Duddies Automotive on Broad Street in Meriden, CT to stay far…read moreaway from this shop. Joe Duddie cost us our vehicle due to his negligence, and we were forced to take him to civil court, where a judge ordered him to return our payment. Despite this, Joe ignored the court's deadline, and even after I personally reached out and gave him an extra 24 hours to respond, he never replied. Joe Duddie is not the kind of person who takes accountability. He lies, leaves out critical information about the work he performs, and when things go wrong, he refuses to take responsibility. Just like others have shared in their reviews, our experience echoes a pattern of shady practices -- Joe performs faulty work that ends up ruining vehicles, and then refuses to inspect or correct his own mistakes. This is not an honest mechanic. Do not trust this man. Do not bring your vehicle here. There are plenty of reputable shops in the area that value integrity and customer service -- Duddies Automotive is not one of them. and still no payment has been received even after being ordered by the court.
