DUKES AUTOTECH SCOOP ‘GARAGE OF THE YEAR’

 

Dukes AutoTech has won the Motor Ombudsman’s Garage of the Year Award.

With a customer testimonial that apparently moved the panel, judges deemed the lengths that the husband and wife-run business went to, to assist a customer was worthy of being crowned the overall winner of this year’s contest.
