Dee's Super Service, Laketown, Utah

A surprising treasure exists in Laketown, Utah.  In a time when "service stations"became convenience stores and car, truck and semi repairs are done in dealer repair shops, Dee's Service is an unusual place.

Over 74 years old, the Sinclair service station is now run by its third generation owner Dennis Hodges.  Hodges son  Kiley will be the fourth generation.

Started in 1945 by Hodges maternal

He and Janet returned to Laketown, where they continued to work and raise their family until his passing. Dee loved his work with his father-in-law, Parnell Johnson, at  Johnson's Service Station in Laketown. In 1975 Dee and Janet took over the business, changed the name to Dee's Super Service, and continued on the family legacy.

Dennis and Kris Hodges

Dennis Hodges and his son, Kiley Hodges now run the service station which has also added a continence store and a summer ice cream parlor. 

The day I was there to work on my camper, there was a large tractor, an 18 wheeler, a car, a pick-up, a tow truck and a machine of undetermined use.  It also houses a parts area.
