Our Story
Ship Auto Nation wasn't just born out of a business idea—it originated from a vision developed in Akron, Ohio. Our founder, a former logistics specialist turned entrepreneur, was driven by the obstacles local residents faced while transporting vehicles over Akron’s unique terrain. Starting in a humble garage on Exchange Street in 2010, we’ve navigated the steep western hills and bustling streets of downtown to solve these challenges.
Fueled by a mission to assist our community, Ship Auto Nation blossomed into the trusted name it is today. Across Akron—from Goodyear Heights to Merriman Valley—we’ve supported hundreds of families, businesses, and car enthusiasts. Akron isn’t just where we work; it’s the heart of who we are, inspiring our solutions for every transportation challenge.
How We Support Akron’s Community
Ship Auto Nation doesn’t just serve Akron—we integrate our expertise into its neighborhoods, businesses, and families. For instance, we helped a boutique owner transfer delivery vans from Highland Square to Downtown Akron during her expansion. At Summit County's Classic Car Show, we’ve ensured safe transit for collectors’ vintage treasures.
Our services cater to Akron's diverse needs:
- **Residential Moves:** Whether transitioning from a historic home near Firestone Park or a contemporary condo downtown, we’ll handle everything with care.
- **Dealer Services:** Collaborating with dealerships in East Akron and Merriman Valley to secure and transport inventory without damage.
- **Specialty Vehicles:** From classic collectibles to oversized trucks, we deliver with precision over Akron’s varying terrain.

The Akron Difference
Akron is more than a city—it’s an integral part of our story. Picture the Akron Metropolitan Library standing near Main Street, a symbol of community connection. Or the Little Cuyahoga River carving through the landscape, a reminder of Akron’s role in historical canal-building efforts. These landmarks embody Akron’s spirit, which inspires every service we provide.
Understanding Akron’s intricacies, from Kenmore’s local streets to Fairlawn Heights’ residential roads, gives us the ability to navigate its unique challenges. We ensure your vehicle’s travel is as smooth as the scenic routes along Portage Lakes.
Delivering to Akron's Historic Downtown Area
Downtown Akron is more than a municipal center—it’s a vibrant blend of heritage and modern city life. Established in 1825 beside the Little Cuyahoga River, downtown has grown into a dynamic area boasting landmarks such as the Akron Civic Theatre and John S. Knight Center. Residents value its small-town appeal combined with big-city opportunities.
Transporting vehicles downtown demands specialized care. Navigating tight turns, one-way streets, and traffic congestion is no simple feat. Ship Auto Nation excels at delivering cars safely in the downtown district, ensuring flawless loading, unloading, and punctual arrivals.
Whether relocating into Akron’s Victorian homes or sleek downtown condos, customers trust us for hassle-free vehicle deliveries. With Akron's population nearing 200,000 and its metropolitan area exceeded by 700,000 residents, we’re prepared to meet rising transport demands with unmatched expertise.
