Heistad’s Garage, U-Haul Meet Waverly’s Moving Needs
WAVERLY, OHIO (Sept. 9, 2015) – Paul Heistad is consumed with cars. In fact, he built his four-stall auto shop from scratch so he could continue his career.
Heistad’s Garage has looked the same since opening in 1985. But one change Heistad recently made as owner was the addition of truck and trailer rentals as a U-Haul® neighborhood dealer.
Customers can also find U-Haul towing equipment, support rental items and more at Heistad’s Garage at 14471 U.S. Hwy. 23 N.
Reserve U-Haul items here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Waverly-OH or calling (740) 947-6040 today. Hours of operation are 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday.
“I wanted to do the U-Haul rentals because I didn’t know how much longer I wanted to be in the garage,” Heistad said laughingly. “I’m 75 years old and figured it would be something I could handle from the office.”
The U-Haul affiliation not only makes things easier on Heistad, but it satisfies the community’s needs during the busy summer moving season.
Though Heistad is beginning to take it easy at work, his love for cars and mechanic work will never vanish. “I’m really into rebuilding antique cars,” he explained. “I’ve done four projects so far, everything from a ’59 Ford® to a ’76 Gremlin®.”
U-Haul Company of Massachusetts and Ohio, Inc. and Heistad’s Garage are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
Heistad’s Garage is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.
