What we work on
If it rolls, runs or lifts on a job site, we work on it. These are the six groups we see most. Open one to see the detail.

You'll always know what we found, why, and what we did.
Every job is written up the same way: the issue, the cause, and the correction. You approve the estimate before we start, and the invoice matches what you approved.
- Estimate line by line, before any work
- Photos of what we found, when it helps
- Your PO number on every invoice

Slow to build air. Driver hears the dryer purging constantly.
Air dryer purge valve stuck open. Cartridge past its interval.
Replaced purge valve and cartridge. Leak-down test passed.
Planned work costs less than a breakdown.
A truck that stops on a job site costs you the repair, the crew standing around, and the day. Most of that is avoidable with a plan that fits how the unit works.
So we set one up for each unit, by miles or by engine hours, and we change it with the Tucson seasons. You get a reminder before it's due, not a phone call after it quits.
Produce season
Reefers and tractors run hard on I-19 out of Nogales. Cool mornings show weak batteries. A good time for annual inspections.
Before the heat
Cooling systems, A/C, belts, batteries and tires. Heat causes about one in four summer breakdowns here.
Monsoon
Dust storms clog air filters, water finds bad wiring, and power cuts call on standby generators.
Year end
Annual inspections, repairs that waited all summer, and next year's PM plan for every unit.

Core competency
ShopHub, the system behind the work.
We built our own shop management system, in-house: a big shop's workflow on a small, nimble footprint. Every unit, job, part, estimate and invoice lives in one place, in every mechanic's hand on a phone or tablet, in the shop and in the field, and on the screens in the office.
Customersfleet owners, foremen, the office
- A history for every unit: every job, reading and part, by unit number
- PM plans by miles or hours, with a reminder before each one is due
- Estimates line by line, so you approve only what you want
- Invoices the same day, with your PO number in your format, and a monthly statement
- Records ready for an annual inspection, an audit or a resale
More hours working, fewer surprises, and less time chasing paperwork.
Suppliersparts houses, dealers, specialists
- Clear purchase orders with our PO number, the part and the unit it's for
- Quote requests in one place, not scattered across texts
- Your bills matched to our orders, so they're paid without back-and-forth
- Warranty and returns tracked to the job they came from
Clean orders, prompt payment, and steady repeat business for suppliers who deliver.
Our crewthe people doing the work
- The day's jobs, the unit's history and the parts on one phone screen
- Time clocked to the job from anywhere, shop or field
- Less paperwork after hours, more time on the tools
- Training built into the system, so new people learn our way fast
Better work, done right the first time, by people who aren't buried in forms.
Why our own system matters
Most small shops run on paper, a whiteboard and memory. We built ShopHub so the shop runs on a record you can trust.
| The usual way | With ShopHub | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit history | On paper, or in someone's memory | Every job, reading and part, by unit number, on hand in the field |
| Maintenance due | Found out when it breaks | Planned by miles or hours, with a reminder before it's due |
| Estimates | A number over the phone | Line by line. You approve only what you want |
| Invoices | Days or weeks after the job | The same day, with your PO number on it |
| Parts orders | Phone tag with the parts counter | Clear purchase orders, tied to the unit and the job |
| In the field | Notes on a clipboard, typed up later | The job, the history and the parts list on the tech's phone |
Built in-house, around the way our shop works. When a customer or supplier needs something to work differently, we change it ourselves, instead of waiting on a software company.
Already work with us?
We're switching on customer and supplier sign-in one account at a time. Ask us to set up yours.
We invest to grow with you.
We put money back into our people, our systems and our shop. As your fleet grows, we grow with it, and we keep bringing you the kind of asset management tools usually only the biggest fleets get.
Small enough to know your trucks by unit number. Equipped to look after all of them.
Small shop. Big‑fleet habits.
Uncle Eric's is Eric and a crew of skilled mechanics, a shop on El Burrito Ave and a service truck that goes where your equipment is. We're nimble on purpose. You talk to the people who work on your truck, and decisions don't wait on a call center.
Behind that, we run the way the big fleet outfits do: a history for every unit, PM plans by miles or hours, estimates line by line, and invoices out the same day. You get a big shop's paperwork from people who know your trucks by unit number.
- You hear firstWhat we found, what it costs and when it'll be ready, before we start.
- Easy on your endOperator in the field or crew chief in the yard: one call or text, and you know when we'll be there and when the unit's back to work.
- Fewer comebacksWe fix what caused the problem, not just the part that failed, so your unit doesn't come back with the same issue.
Call, text or stop by.
