U-Haul has closed its repair shop in San Bernardino after 54 years, affecting 37 employees. The site will be repurposed as a U-Box warehouse. A new repair shop will open at a different location on July 28, 2025. The closure aligns with U-Haul's strategy to optimize services based on safety, demographics, and market changes.

U-Haul has announced the closure of its repair shop in San Bernardino, California, after 54 years of operation. The decision, which took effect in late June, resulted in the termination of 37 employees [1]. The repair shop, located at 891 S. Arrowhead Ave., will be repurposed as a 30,000-square-foot U-Box warehouse, capable of storing up to 2,500 portable moving containers [2].

The closure of the repair shop is part of U-Haul's broader strategy to optimize its services. The company will maintain ownership of the S. Arrowhead property, which also houses the U-Haul Company of San Bernardino regional offices. The new U-Box warehouse is expected to enhance U-Haul's self-storage solutions, aligning with the company's growth strategy.

To continue servicing regional moving equipment, U-Haul will open a new repair shop at 1235 E. Baseline St. in San Bernardino. The new facility is set to begin operations on July 28, 2025. This move reflects U-Haul's commitment to safety, strategic planning, and adapting to changing demographics and market conditions [2].

U-Haul, celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2025, continues to be a leading player in the DIY moving industry, with over 24,000 rental locations across North America. The company supports a fleet of 193,900 trucks and offers expansive self-storage solutions.
