U-Haul® has ceased operations at its old repair facility at 1570 V. Odom Blvd. The former Akron Repair Shop closed on July 19.

U-Haul will maintain ownership of the building and reuse it for expansion needs at the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Akron store.

As a result of the former Akron Repair Shop closing, 41 Team Members were let go. The repair shop had serviced U-Haul equipment in the region since 1981.

Moving trucks and trailers will now be serviced at the new Akron Repair Shop at 1520 V. Odom Blvd. Find that announcement here: https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/About/U-Haul-Opens-New-Akron-Repair-Shop-To-Service-Regional-Equipment-32128/.

“The region is growing, and we ran out of space at our old Akron Repair Shop,” said Alissa Nider, U-Haul Company of Akron president. “Our new location will be able to inspect more equipment and provide more jobs in the community.”

Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers, but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores, shops and offices. Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic plans; safety and security concerns; physical site conditions and limitations; shifts in demographics; availability of local Team Members; trends in migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; proximity to other new or existing Company locations; and external factors.
