Craig Barden

Owner & Automotive Technician
Craig has been an employee since January 2001 but has been the proud owner of Bruce’s Auto since July 2023. Craig grew up at his father’s business since Bruce opened the doors in 1990 where he pumped gas as a kid. He worked here part-time in his early adult life and helped the business move to different locations until the shop was built in Arundel. Craig graduated from SMCC with an Automotive Technology Degree and is a Re-Certified ASE Master Technician. In addition to holding the basic inspection licenses, Craig holds a Class E License for Cumberland Emission Inspections. Craig values the importance of education in this ever-changing field and ensuring our automotive technicians keep up with the technology and education needed to stay ahead. He takes pride in being honest, fair and carrying on the reputable name and business his father established. Craig wants to know his customers and ask how they and their family are doing when they see each other in the grocery store.

Emergency flat tire
We have a very demanding schedule and a flat tire can really disrupt one’s routine. Bruce’s Auto accommodated us and had us on our way in no time. They also inspect basic items and let you know if you have other issues that should be dealt with. They have very reasonable pricing.

Responsive to urgency
Murphy's law played out as my Suburu's tire had developed a slow leak which worsened during a week it was needed for multiple deliveries. Bruce's staff offered to repair the leak the same day. They also took note of a less urgent grease leak and scheduled me in for repair in a less hectic upcoming week.

Craig got my vehicle assessed and back on the road quickly.
Bruce's Auto has been my go to vehicle repair place for almost 35 years. Craig is always available and straight forward with explaining repair issues. I have been more than satisfied with the work they have prefeed over the years and they stand behind their work. Honest Mainers serving hard working Mainers.

Went for an inspection sticker
Went in for an inspection sticker. Craig pointed out some things that passed inspection but would need to be addressed in the near future.
