U-Haul® is operating at 1520 V. Odom Blvd., where its new Akron
Repair Shop is now servicing regional moving and storage
equipment.
The 55,000-square-foot facility replaces the Company’s former
repair shop at 1570 V. Odom Blvd., a space that is being repurposed
to serve the needs of its U-Haul Moving & Storage of
Akron store.
“After 43 years, we outgrew the original repair shop,” said
Alissa Nider, U-Haul Company of Akron president. “The new location
will allow us to inspect and service more equipment to support our
growing business in Ohio.”
The Akron Repair Shop will employ mechanics, engineers and
technicians to maintain U-Haul equipment.
Nider plans to hire several Team Members to staff the new shop.
U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth in the Akron
community. U-Haul, honored as a Best for Vets employer by The
Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers at
