Love of Cars, Community Defines U-Haul Dealer DC Transmissions

MORINVILLE, Alberta, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- After meeting through their passion for cars, Donna Marie and Darcy Barilla continue to service their community by working in the industry that brought them together.

Now their company, DC Transmissions Ltd., is bringing customers a line of U-Haul® items as Morinville's only U-Haul neighborhood dealer.

Located 21 miles north of Edmonton, DC Transmissions is 11204 100 St. and is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and by appointment on Saturday. Reserve U-Haul items here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Morinville-AB.

DC Transmissions is family owned and operated with a focus on giving back to the community that has provided them with so much. Darcy, who was raised in Morinville and bills himself as "The Transmission Guy," strives to give his neighbors the best service as a show of appreciation for their business.

Along with DC Transmission's quality automotive repair services, it offers custom transmission and power train services for high-performance vehicles.

The presence of U-Haul products has increased traffic and income for DC Transmissions in just a matter of months.

"It's quite busier than we thought," Donna Marie said. "We thought it would be good for the customers we service and the local community, but now it's reaching the greater (Morinville) area."

The Barillas became members of the Morinville Redliners Car Club in 2014 and have taken part in community parades, supported the fight against cancer through various events and are always looking for ways to assist local veterans and active military members.

"We are a great little community," Donna Marie said. "I'm a social worker by trade. I've worked in communities, so it's part of my giving spirit."

DC Transmissions is 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. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.
