Duricek Automotive was founded in 1952 by our grandfather, Charles J. Duricek, as Duricek Shell Service. As a franchise, Grandpa sold gasoline and repaired vehicles himself while Grandma kept the books. In 1982, their sons Chuck and Mike officially took ownership and daily operations of the business for the next 31 years until Chuck (our dad) passed away unexpectedly in 2013.

We grew up around the shop, and Dad allowed us to work once we turned 14. We would clean floors, take out trash, and run whatever small errands we could convince him we’d be responsible enough to handle. We both work tirelessly to change the public perception of the auto repair industry and build life-long relationships with customers built on honesty, integrity, and mutual respect.
