Findlay to Toledo is 50 minutes. A week on the dealer’s lot is longer.
Findlay fleets live on I-75. The Marathon campus, the distribution centers along US-224 and CR 99, the ag haulers out of Hancock County, all of it rolls north past Bowling Green and through Toledo on its way to Detroit, the Turnpike and Michigan. When a truck on that run starts throwing codes, you have two choices. Fix it in Findlay and wait your turn. Or keep it rolling 50 minutes north to a shop with four techs, a parts shelf and a bay that opens when you call.
We are the second choice. Here is what it costs you in miles and what it saves you in days.
Directions from Findlay to 820 Matzinger Rd
Get on I-75 north at exit 159 (US-224 and SR 15) or exit 157 (SR 12). From the CR 99 side of town, exit 161.
Stay on I-75 north. You pass the Pilot at Van Buren, the Petro and Love’s at North Baltimore, Bowling Green at exit 181, the I-475 split at 192, Perrysburg and the Turnpike interchange at 195, then cross the Maumee River into Toledo. Past downtown, past the I-475 junction at exit 204, past 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.

About 50 miles. About 50 minutes.
What makes the drive worth it
- Four technicians. ASE certified. Cummins certified. International certified.
- Certified NAPA Truck Care Center. NAPA parts on the shelf and the NAPA warranty network behind the repair, which matters when the truck is 50 miles from home.
- Qualified DOT inspector. The 49 CFR 396.17 annual and the repair in the same bay, same visit.
- Hunter HawkEye XL heavy-duty alignment. Steer tires on a Findlay to Detroit run are expensive to scrub off.
- CARB Clean Truck Check testing for any unit that runs to California.
- Diesel engine diagnostics and DPF work, Cummins and International certified.
- Class 4 through Class 8, trucks and trailers.
Same-day on many repairs, depending on parts. We tell you before we start, and if it is going to run long we tell you before you leave Findlay.

Fleet accounts also get consolidated billing and FMCSA-ready maintenance records. Call and ask for a fleet conversation.
