Bowling Green to a bay with four techs: one road, 25 miles, no guessing
If you run out of Bowling Green, you already know the problem. The nearest heavy-duty bays with a DOT inspector, an alignment rack built for tandems and a parts shelf deep enough to finish the job today are in Toledo. The question is which one, and whether the truck is fixed when you drive home.
Our answer: I-75 north from exit 181 to exit 207, 25 miles on one road, and a shop that publishes its turnaround instead of guessing at it.
Directions from Bowling Green to 820 Matzinger Rd
From downtown Bowling Green, take Wooster St east past the university to I-75 north at exit 181. From the south side of town, US-6 to exit 179.
Stay on I-75 north through Dunbridge, past the I-475 split at exit 192, Perrysburg, the Turnpike interchange at exit 195 and Rossford. Cross the Maumee River, pass downtown Toledo and the I-475 junction at exit 204, then Jeep Parkway and Phillips Ave. Take exit 207, Stickney Ave / Lagrange St. Go north on Stickney Ave about a mile and turn right onto Matzinger Rd. The shop is just east of Stickney, on the same campus as Sam’s Travel Center and Sam’s Parking & Storage.
About 28 miles. About 32 minutes.
What you get at the end of the drive
- Four technicians. ASE certified. Cummins certified. International certified.
- Certified NAPA Truck Care Center. NAPA parts on the shelf, NAPA warranty network behind the work.
- Qualified DOT inspector for the 49 CFR 396.17 annual, repair in the same bay.
- Hunter HawkEye XL heavy-duty alignment. Grain and ag haulers on county roads knock tandems out of line; we measure it rather than eyeball it.
- Diesel engine diagnostics and repair, Cummins and International certified.
- CARB Clean Truck Check testing for any unit that heads west.
- Class 4 through Class 8, trucks and trailers.
Same-day on many repairs, depending on parts. We tell you the plan before the wrenches come out.
Scheduled mobile service to Bowling Green
Bowling Green is at the edge of the service truck’s range, so we book it rather than dispatch it. Yard PM for a fleet, a trailer that needs welding where it sits, a batch of DOT prep work before an audit. Pick a day, during shop hours Monday to Friday 8 to 5, and the tech works through the units in your lot.
For a single breakdown, a tow to the bay is often faster than waiting on the truck. Call and we will tell you which.
Broken down on I-75 near Bowling Green
The stretch from Cygnet to Perrysburg is flat, fast and busy. If the truck is failing, get off at the next exit before it quits. Hazards on. Triangles at 10, 100 and 200 feet behind the trailer per 49 CFR 392.22. Stay out of the travel lane.
Then call (419) 724-2475. During shop hours, emergency calls go to the front of the line. We tell you straight whether we are sending the service truck or arranging a tow to the bay, and what it will take once the truck is here.
