Navajo Nation Fleet Management

About Us

The Tuba City Shop facilities were established in February of 1980, at that time the shop consisted of three service bays and a very small Office/Parts room. The growth to the current size of five service bays, larger Parts room and a larger Office has been accomplished over several years.

We currently provide both mechanical and Body repair in-house, with a staff of nine (9) including one Body Repairer, four (4) Auto Technicians, one Parts Person, one Accounting person, one Custodian and one Service Manager.

The in-house shop equipment we use is mostly comprised of Computer controlled devises such as Front End alignment equipment, Wheel Balancing Equipment, Air conditioning Equipment, and Scanners for reading the Data of on-board vehicle computers, all of which reduce downtime.

We are responsible for the repair and maintenance of three hundred seventy plus vehicles currently in the Western agency.
