About Cholla Metal Crafts – Tucson’s Trailer Repair Experts Since 1980
40+ Years of Honest Workmanship & Local Dedication
Cholla Trailers is a family-owned and operated trailer repair shop based in Tucson, Arizona. Since 1980, we’ve been committed to providing Southern Arizona with exceptional trailer repairs, metal fabrication, and personalized service that’s as dependable as the trailers we work on.
We operate out of our centrally located Tucson service center at 1933 East Eastland St, Tucson, AZ 85719, just minutes from I-10 and near the University of Arizona, Reid Park Zoo and Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course.
Whether you use your trailer for work, travel, or everyday hauling, our ASE-certified technicians are here to keep you moving — safely and efficiently.
OUR STORY: BUILT ON LOCAL VALUES
Cholla Trailers was founded in 1980 with a clear mission: to provide quality trailer repairs and fabrication with honesty, integrity, and care. What started as a small welding and trailer shop has grown into one of Tucson’s most recognized names in custom trailer services.
We’ve helped generations of Tucson residents — from weekend adventurers to local contractors — get the most out of their trailers. Over four decades later, our commitment remains the same: to deliver expert repairs that keep you on the road with confidence.
