Unintentional phone call sparks the birth of a new U-Haul business in Freeport

Elite Auto and Tire Inc./Elite Towing & Recovery in Freeport, Illinois, has become the fourth U-Haul neighborhood dealer in the area. The new venture came about unexpectedly when a U-Haul field manager, Matthew Jones, accidentally dialed the wrong number while trying to contact a tow company for assistance.

Larry Tuell, the president of Elite Auto and Tire, received the call and saw it as an opportunity to become a U-Haul dealer. Jones and Tuell quickly established a partnership, with Tuell recognizing the benefits of becoming a U-Haul dealer. The collaboration not only provides a new service for the community but also helps keep profits local.

Jones and Tuell are excited about the potential of this new venture and are eager to provide reliable and convenient moving solutions to the Freeport area.
