U-Haul Trucks, Trailers Come to Benson at Eric’s Motor Sports

BENSON, MINN. (April 3, 2015) – What began as a part-time gig on a fifth-generation family farm quickly evolved into a successful business for Eric Danielson.

Twenty years later, he is the man in Minnesota for small engine repairs.

Eric’s Motor Sports provides Benson residents with reliable lawn and garden equipment, high-end motorcycles and small mechanic work. Danielson recently added another useful service to his lineup by becoming a U-Haul® neighborhood dealer.

Eric’s Motor Sports at 2005 Minnesota Ave. offers U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, support rental items, in-store pick-up for boxes and after-hours drop-off. Hours of operation are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon Saturday.

“We stand behind our word,” Danielson said. “All we’ve got is our reputation, so it’s important to keep customers happy and coming back.”

Eric’s Motor Sports is a community staple for every Benson outdoorsman, boater, biker and weekend yard warrior.

One thing that makes Danielson’s business unique is his trike supply. Eric’s Motor Sports can convert traditional bikes into trikes so everyone can have the experience of riding a beautiful motorcycle without the difficulty of handling a heavy two-wheeled machine.

“I’ve always been a motor-head,” Danielson said. “Motorcycles are my passion, so whenever I have the time I take three-day drives through the Dakotas and Montana. The open prairies are just so beautiful.”

Not only is Danielson passionate about his company, but he cares about other local businesses. Danielson works with Team National®, which provides a membership savings program for individuals.

“I’m trying to help other people succeed with their own goals,” Danielson explained.

Eric’s Motor Sports is the only place to rent U-Haul equipment in Benson. With next closest U-Haul dealer 24 miles away, Danielson has already benefited from an increase in store traffic.

U-Haul and Eric’s Motor Sports are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.

Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.

Eric’s Motor Sports is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit your photos and learn more.
