U-Haul Closes Repair Shop in San Bernardino

The U-Haul^® repair shop at 891 S. Arrowhead Ave. has closed after servicing regional moving equipment since 1971.

Repair operations and routine maintenance at the facility ceased in late June. As a result of the repair shop closing, 37 Team Members were let go.

U-Haul will maintain ownership of its S. Arrowhead property, which houses the U-Haul Company of San Bernardino regional offices. The repair shop will be repurposed as U-Box^® of San Bernardino, a 30,000-square-foot warehouse that can store up to 2,500 of the Company’s popular portable moving containers.

U-Haul rental equipment in the region will soon be serviced at 1235 E. Baseline St. in San Bernardino, site of a new repair shop that is set to begin operations on July 28.

Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers, but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores, shops, offices and services. Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic plans; safety and security concerns; physical site conditions and limitations; shifts in demographics; availability of local Team Members; trends in migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; proximity to other new or existing Company locations; and external factors.
