The Shaker's Family Difference

When you walk into a car dealership, you deserve to be treated like family, with honesty, dedication, and true transparency emanating from the entire team. This is exactly what you can expect here at Shaker's Family Hyundai, where we strive to honor the generations that came before us who began our legacy of excellence.

Our Story

The Shaker's legacy wasn't born overnight. It took grit, determination, and perseverance to get to where we are today. From the start, our family has been committed to serving our customers in ways that they've perhaps never experienced before.

Humble Beginnings

In the midst of the Great Depression in 1930, Joseph Shaker started a small service station to help local drivers, farmers, and workers fix their trucks so they could continue serving their customers. It wasn't the time to start a business, with the failing economy; however, where there is a need, there is the possibility for success.

This hard work paid off, and in 1941, we opened a maintenance center to help even more drivers keep their vehicles in tip-top condition. In 1947, we opened our first car dealership, offering the same level of care and service that the Shaker family was known for in the area. Since then, we've continued to expand to serve even more customers.

Who We Are Today

Today, we are a fourth-generation family business that has been operating the same way since 1930. We are proud to own several dealerships across Connecticut and Massachusetts, showcasing a wide range of top automotive brands. However, we still have one approach to how we do business—provide our customers with honest, fair, and truly transparent service.

You'll find that the Shaker family is deeply rooted in the community. We're proud supporters of the Waterbury Boys and Girls Club, as well as United Way. We view ourselves as more than just a car dealership, and we want to give back to the community that helped shape us.

What Makes Us Different

With our decades in the industry, we have learned and evolved with the changing needs of drivers, but we've always remained true to our beliefs. Customers deserve to be treated fairly, and when you ask a question, you deserve a clear answer. This is just one of the things that make us special, but there are many more.

Enhanced Customer Experience

Customers deserve a team of professionals who truly care about them and provide genuine service that goes above and beyond their expectations. We're a dealership that has built itself one happy customer at a time. An enhanced customer experience is something that you can expect from us in all aspects of our business.

When you want genuine and exceptional service, you'll find it here at Shaker's Family Hyundai. We don't give you the run-around, and there's no guesswork in any area of our business. You'll leave here knowing exactly what you paid for your car, how your trade was valued, what was wrong with your car, and why. We don't hide things from you—ever.

Time-Honored Traditions

Shaker's Family Hyundai upholds our time-honored tradition of excellence and service. We treat you how you wish to be treated, we provide you with true transparency, instead of just telling you that we're being transparent, and we never stop working for you. It's the simple things that make a big difference in your experience.

Get Started With Us Today

If you want a team of professionals who have operated the same since we got our start as a small service station during the Great Depression, this is exactly what you can expect from Shaker's Family Hyundai. We are proud to uphold our reputation of excellence, and we can't wait to help you find your ideal vehicle. Stop by today and experience the difference!

Why Should You Choose Shaker's Family Hyundai?

At Shaker's Family Hyundai, we believe in conducting every part of our business openly, honestly and directly.


That means:

• Inviting you to compare our prices against other dealerships
    (We'll even give you an iPad so you don't have to do it on your phone.)

• Customizing a finance plan to meet your needs

• Just being all-around swell people


We Are Not Salespeople.
We Are Product Specialists.

So we are experts on every vehicle we sell. And unlike salespeople, we're on
salary, not commission. What does that mean for you? You can trust that you will get
the vehicle you want, at the price you want, from a person you would actually have a coffee with sometime.



More About Us


The Shaker Automotive Group is entering its eighth decade of service. Our original dealership in Waterbury, CT grew out of our grandfather's repair shop, which he started after fixing trucks at the local Farmer's Market.

Since then, we've expanded across New England with dealerships in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Regardless of which Shaker dealership you choose, you'll enjoy the same transparent experience in each one.

We've never done business any other way.
