Leadership behind the work

Founder

Meet Josh.

Josh grew up around automotive paint and body work through his father and developed a lasting fascination with vehicles in his early teens. More than 30 years of automotive and detailing experience now inform the way he evaluates a vehicle, chooses a process, and approaches the details that define the result.

He founded Scentry Solutions to build a company where care for vehicles and care for people carry equal weight—supported by honest recommendations, accountable work, and the personal responsibility of a locally owned business.

Built through the craft

Scentry began with specialized dealership odor-removal work in April 2025, then reinvested each step forward into professional tools and broader capability.

Leadership behind the work

Chief Administrative Officer

Meet Samantha.

As Scentry Solutions' CAO, Samantha helps lead the administrative side of the company, supporting the planning, organization, and day-to-day structure that allow the work and the business to keep moving forward.

Josh and Samantha have been married for nine years. Their partnership brings the same care, accountability, and shared commitment to the company that they bring to their family.

Shared automotive roots

Long before they dated—or ever imagined building a company together—they were both involved with the same car club as teenagers.

Where it began

A specialized start
with a bigger purpose.

The company did not begin with a fully equipped shop or a long menu of services. It began by solving a specific problem well, earning trust through the work, and reinvesting every step forward.

Long before Scentry Solutions had a name, the automotive world was already part of Josh's life. His father worked in paint and body, and by his early teens Josh had developed a lasting fascination with anything automotive.

That early influence grew into decades of hands-on automotive and detailing experience. Scentry Solutions formally began in April 2025 as an odor-removal vendor serving automotive dealerships. That specialist work created the opportunity to purchase professional equipment, expand capability, and build the full-service vehicle care company we envisioned.

From the beginning, the goal was larger than cleaning a vehicle. We wanted to create a business where quality work, honest communication, and respect for people could support real growth—for our family, our customers, our partners, and the community around us.

“We built this company from the work itself—then reinvested in the tools to do even more, at a superior level.”

How Scentry developed

Every job helped
build the next chapter.

Growth came through the work itself: learn, improve, reinvest, and expand only when the capability could be supported with the right tools and experience.

April 2025

Specialist Beginnings

Advanced odor-removal work for dealership partners established the company’s first focused service.

A Home in Lula

A 2025 milestone

From restoration
to the show field.

In 2025, Scentry Solutions attended the NOPI Nationals as a vendor at EchoPark Speedway in Hampton, Georgia—an opportunity to represent the company inside the automotive culture that helped inspire it.

The white Ford Lightning pictured here belonged to Tom Lawson. After Tom passed away, his family asked Josh to return the memorial truck to its previous glory so it could be shown and Tom remembered at the 2025 NOPI Nationals. The work included careful detailing and paint restoration worthy of the truck's history and the family's trust.

The moment that matters

Trust earned
at every handoff.

The finished vehicle matters, but so does the relationship behind it. Every pickup is a chance to stand behind the work, explain the result honestly, and make sure the customer understands how to care for what we have completed.

That personal accountability is one of the advantages of working with a local small business. Customers are not numbers moving through a system; they are people trusting us with something they value.

What guides the work

Care is not a slogan.
It is the standard.

The values behind Scentry are practical. They shape how we recommend a service, how we treat a vehicle, how we communicate, and how we define success.

Care for Vehicles

Respect the materials, understand the condition, and choose a process that serves the vehicle rather than forcing a generic solution.

Care for People

Listen carefully, explain recommendations clearly, and remember that trust matters as much as the final appearance.

Honest Service

Set realistic expectations, recommend what is actually needed, and communicate limitations before the work begins.

Grow Together

Build an environment where customers, partners, family, and team members can contribute to shared progress and success.

A family-run local business

Personal responsibility.
Local relationships.

Being family run means the reputation of Scentry Solutions is personal. The way a customer is treated, the honesty of a recommendation, and the quality of the finished work all reflect directly on the people behind the company.

Being locally owned means we are not trying to be distant from the community we serve. We want to know our customers, support long-term relationships, and build a company that creates opportunity close to home.

The next chapter

Keep learning.
Keep building.

Scentry has grown from one specialized dealership service into automotive, marine, fleet, coating, correction, interior, and exterior care. The next chapter follows the same principles as the first: build carefully, invest in capability, remain honest about the work, and never lose the personal care that started it all.

The services may continue to grow, but the purpose remains steady—to create lasting value for vehicles, people, and the Northeast Georgia community we call home.
