In Tampa, Florida, a Cuban entrepreneur has successfully forged a path in the competitive automotive and transportation services sector. This is Edis Garcia Jauregui, originally from Matanzas, who today leads three companies that provide essential solutions for trucks, fuel, and private vehicles.
His story begins on a farm, Monserrate, in the Matanzas countryside, where he grew up in a humble environment that taught him the value of hard work from a young age. At an early age, he moved with his family to another location in Matanzas, and at just 18 years old, he relocated to Havana until he emigrated to the United States in 2012 with the goal of building a better future.
Like many immigrants, he started from the ground up. He worked as a truck driver and, drawing on his previous mechanical knowledge acquired in Cuba, began doing small roadside repairs. Over time, he gained experience, bought tools, and gradually built his own business.
“Everything is perseverance and sacrifice. Here, nothing is achieved overnight”, summarizes Edis, recalling his beginnings when he worked alone, without resources and with exhausting hours.
Today, that effort is reflected in three active businesses in Tampa.
EJA Road Service: unlimited truck repair, 24/7
Founded in 2016, EJA Road Service is the foundation of Garcia Jauregui's business growth. Located at 2308 N 56th St, Tampa, the company offers comprehensive truck repair services both in the shop and on the road, with availability 24 hours a day.
The business started as a mobile service, but today it encompasses everything from engine repair, advanced alignment, chassis and transmission work, to electrical services, air conditioning, and welding, including aluminum.
In addition, they offer a wide range of tires for trucks, catering to different budgets. The addition of services like upholstery has strengthened their position as one of the most comprehensive options in the area.
To hire their services, clients can contact directly at +1 813 516 6395 or +1 813 374 3321.
EAG Fuel: reliable fuel to keep Florida moving
In 2021, Edis expanded its business vision with the creation of EAG Fuel, a company focused on supplying fuel for fleets, businesses, and residential customers.
From its location at 2308 N 56 St, Tampa, EAG Fuel offers fast, accurate deliveries at competitive prices. Their service is designed to ensure efficiency and operational continuity for their clients.
For bookings, you can call +1 813-599-3551 or write to eafuelservice@gmail.com.
EJA Tires Autoshop: family service with a focus on quality
The third project, EJA Tires Autoshop, was founded in 2023 and is managed by Florisel Reyes, Edis's wife, who has been a key supporter in the development of the businesses.
Located at 5402 E Broadway Ave, Tampa, this workshop offers automobile repair services, maintenance, and the sale of new and used tires.
With a family-oriented approach, the company prioritizes trust, closeness, and quality in every service.
Three Companies: A Story of Perseverance
The journey of Edis Garcia Jauregui reflects the path of many Cubans who emigrate in search of opportunities. From endless hours on the road to establishing a workshop without basic conditions, his story is marked by sacrifice.
"Good days, bad days, but always working", he asserts.
Today, his companies not only create jobs and services in Tampa, but they also embody the entrepreneurial spirit of Cubans outside the island
