How SAMPS started
SAMPS has been in business now for over 19 years. Our vision began in 2005 while facing the loss of our jobs due to a factory closure. We started our business as "Samp's Compact Motorsports" and have since become simply "SAMPS." When we first opened, we specialized in automotive customizing parts and accessories, along with automotive maintenance/repair, opened a local U-Haul® dealership, and would do snow removal services during the winter. Eventually we added automotive detailing that now includes everything from boats to RVs. Now in 2025, we no longer focus on automotive customizing parts or snow removal. We have stocked the store with various moving supplies, sell/install hitches, added Waxoyl® brand rust protection services as an authorized application center, became a dealer for Fastmaster products, as well as continuing the U-Haul® dealership. Our success can only be attributed to the great community around the Troy, Ohio area that has put their trust in SAMPS. To you, we will be forever grateful!
