DenRods Auto Service

What inspired you to start this business?

As a mechanic, I learned how dishonest the automotive industry can really be. I always found that hard to wrestle with as a Catholic. When I was fortunate enough to start my own business, I made it my goal to do my job with integrity and put service to my community at the forefront. This has been my calling since day one: to keep alive the simple belief that hard work and integrity can still open the door to the American Dream.

How does your faith shape your work?

Everything I do is in the name of the Lord. I have the best boss in the universe, and it's important that I always do right by Him.

What's a favorite patron saint or scripture?

Our family's favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." One of the most interesting books I've ever read was St. Faustina's, and I remember being inspired by how gracefully she offered her life and sufferings to Jesus. Her influence on the Church cannot be overstated and her gifts were incredible. I find her faith and determination to be inspiring, and I'm reminded of her strength and her amazing life every time I see the Sacred Heart portrait in a parish.

What's one thing you'd like customers to know?

Honesty is my policy.
