Shrewsbury Transmission Expands Service Line with U-Haul Products
SHREWSBURY, MASS. (Sept. 11, 2015) – Before 1983, there was only one place in town to go for transmission work. The late Barry Lacroix opened Shrewsbury Transmission to give his community another option.
Son and current owner John Lacroix recently offered his community another option to pick up and drop off U-Haul rentals. Shrewsbury Transmission has trucks, trailers, towing equipment, pre-tow inspection and more as a U-Haul® neighborhood dealer.
Shrewsbury Transmission at 727 Hartford Turnpike is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon Saturday.

“When I started out I was just folding boxes and sweeping floors,” John recalled. “Now, we’ve been able to diversify the business and bring U-Haul into the mix.”
Lacroix was already looking into adding rental equipment when U-Haul area field manager Brad Harasimowicz walked in looking for a new dealer location in the area.
Some of the mechanics at Shrewsbury Transmission have been working alongside Lacroix for 20 years, so it is a family operation in every sense.
U-Haul Company of Massachusetts and Ohio, Inc. and Shrewsbury Transmission 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.
Shrewsbury Transmission is also a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck.
