History

Dendinger Brothers began in 1956 when brothers Jake and Gene began operating at 135 Monroe St in a two bay Sohio service station. This was operated by Jake and Gene for 33 years. Retiring in 1989, the business was purchased by Jakes sons Ken, Chuck, and Dave, whom all grew up working at the station. At this time all new equipment was purchased along with our first wrecker.Shortly after reopening for business we decided to add two more service bays to the building, along with many new pieces of repair equipment.Again in 1995, with the need to grow, we purchased the former G.M. dealership building at 1010 Castalia St. It took over a year to remodel the 30 year old building to fit our needs. Next, the purchase of all new diagnostic equipment, A/C equipment, and a second tow truck. In late 1996 we moved all major repair work to our new location. In 1999, with the removal of a wall, we installed a new alignment system at our 1010 Castalia St. location.With business continuing to grow, came our third tow truck. We offer AAA towing and emergency services. We do all major and minor repairs, from oil changes to complete engine and transmission repair and replacement. We repair air conditioning, electrical problems, and have certified mechanics for advanced diagnosis. Besides that, our ASE certified techs use quality NAPA parts, being a NAPA Car Care Center.

We sell used cars and trucks at this location. Today, 1010 Castalia St. is home to Northtown Auto Sales and Dendinger Bros. Car Care Center. The Monroe St. location has  been turned into a full service state of the art automatic brushless car wash. The service bays have returned to the front of the car wash building where we offer tire sales and repair, oil change, batteries, belts and hoses, and exhaust and minor engine repair. We recently purchased our forth tow truck, now having two wreckers and two rollbacks. In 2001, wanting too expand our buissness once again, we purchased the local NAPA store (Bellevue Parts Company) Since doing so we have doubled the inventory and the store has doubled its sales volume, Thanks to good employees and a very good store manger. In 2005 wanting to expand into the Clyde area we purchased a two bay repair shop at the corner of Midvale and McPherson Hwy.  After moving one wrecker to Clyde and purchasing new equipment and stocking the shelves we opened the doors. Again wanting too expand, In late 2008 we purchased the Clyde NAPA store (Clyde Parts Company) We remodeled the store and are increasing inventory. Owning two NAPA stores gives us better buying, so we can keep part prices down.

Dendnger Brothers Inc is a member of the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau. Our staff contains trained and certified professionals. Today the brothers are operating Northtown Auto Sales, Dendinger Bros. Car Care Center & Towing, Dendinger Bros. Car Wash and Service, Bellevue Parts Company ( NAPA) And Clyde Parts Company (NAPA)
