Samimootor Oy's forty-year history began in 1966 when Reino repaired the first snowmobile for a fee in a small workshop behind the liter. The first customer in this one-man company was Aslak-Antti Länsman. At that stage, the workshop had little more than a snowmobile and a repairman to fit in.
In 1968 the first actual repair shop was built. Tires and spare parts were already on sale at that time. Petrol sales began in -72. The first person to pay at the workshop was Johannes Rasmus, who sometimes went to work in Norway, then returned. Next up was Reijo Pohjanrinne, who has been involved since.
Workshop workers have come and gone, some for shorter periods, but boys Ari and Esa got into the business pretty much as soon as they were old enough to run a car tire. Officially, Ari joined the company in -82 and Esa worked as a workshop manager from -85 to -08. The first workshop extension was made in the 1980s.
The oil crisis of the 70s and the regulation of gasoline were felt in Samimotor's everyday life. Reino admits that hitting the gloves on the counter and throwing the wrench in the corner certainly took place over the years, but by no means serious.
Coffee and pastries Samimootor has been serving its customers since the mid-1980s. The wineries were initially baked by wife Kaisa and later ordered from Ivalo Pastry Shop and local Tenon Bakery. Today, pastries are bought from wholesalers and baked on the spot. The medicine cabinet came in -78 after Anna Suomenrinne had finished keeping it. The position of the representative post on Samimotori has been in existence since -92. The background was the abolition of the actual post.
The store expanded to -95. Four years later Reino retired and in 2001 Kaisa followed suit. Of course, retirement never means a complete retreat for a family entrepreneur, but Samimootor remains under the benevolent scrutiny of his founder, Reno and his wife. In addition, both are shareholders in the company.
