About
For the Love of Vehicles – A Woman’s Rise to Ownership
Ingrid Sapene, owner of Dewayne’s Automotive, grew up helping her father at the family’s automobile shops. Her involvement at the shops grew into her current interest in mechanical things, especially vehicles. She not only loved working with her father, but loved being around vehicles, working on them, and interacting with their numerous customers. Ingrid ran her Dad’s auto shops for a few years. Running the business in the beginning was very difficult for Ingrid, especially as a young woman. Through it all, she had to be tough and persevere. Eventually, she came to be respected and very successful within her new role.
She has also worked for Ford, Chrysler and GM. At this point, her entire family is in the automotive business. So as you can see, Ingrid grew up with this business. Ingrid brings a wealth of experience, including her successful career in the auto business, to Dewayne’s Automotive.

A Proud, Woman Owner
Today, Ingrid loves the business; being around vehicles and interacting with the customers to treat them right. She says, “It’s necessary to restore a person’s vehicle to good working order, but that’s not enough. We want to help our customers enjoy their driving experience; to have a different type of experience at Dewayne’s.” This is exactly how the business continues to run and succeed on a daily basis. Her challenges are what built her into the strong woman she is now. She loves this country as a U.S. citizen. She is a local homeowner in Mooresville, in addition to being a local business owner. She couldn’t be more proud of her citizenship and her ownership of Dewayne’s Automotive.
