Where the shop sits on this map
I-280 is 12 miles long. It starts at the Ohio Turnpike at Stony Ridge, runs north past the truck stops at exit 1B, the Northwood and Oregon interchanges, over the Veterans’ Glass City Skyway, and ends at I-75. The shop is one exit from that end. Take I-75 south from the end of I-280, exit 207 at Stickney Ave, and go north on Stickney about a mile to Matzinger Rd. About 2 miles. About 5 minutes.
US-23 is the other half of the Toledo bypass. It comes down from Michigan through Sylvania, rides I-475 around the west side of town past Toledo Express Airport and Maumee, and rejoins I-75 at Perrysburg. From anywhere on that loop, I-475 to I-75 north and exit 207 brings you to us in about 15 to 25 minutes.

What to do first when the truck quits
Get it off the travel lane. I-280 carries Turnpike truck traffic and the Skyway is not a place to coast to a stop. Hazards on. Triangles at 10, 100 and 200 feet behind the trailer per 49 CFR 392.22. Then call (419) 724-2475.
Tell us three things: the road and direction, the exit you just passed, and what the truck is doing. A derate with a DPF light, a dead reefer, a blown steer tire, air pressure that will not build. Each one loads the service truck differently.
During shop hours, Monday to Friday 8 to 5, emergency calls go to the front of the line. We dispatch the service truck or clear a bay, whichever gets you earning faster. Outside those hours, the shop is closed, and we would rather tell you that here than have you find out on the shoulder.
What the service truck brings
Mobile welding for a trailer that cannot roll. Tire service. Air system and brake repairs. Electrical and lighting. Enough diagnostic capability to tell you on the spot whether this is fixed on the shoulder or towed to the bay.
What the bay brings
Four technicians. ASE, Cummins and International certified. Certified NAPA Truck Care Center. Qualified DOT inspector under 49 CFR 396.17. Hunter HawkEye XL alignment. CARB Clean Truck Check testing. Class 4 through Class 8, trucks and trailers. Same-day on many repairs, depending on parts, and we tell you before we start.
Call now
(419) 724-2475. Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. 820 Matzinger Rd, Toledo. I-75 exit 207, Stickney Ave north about a mile, right on Matzinger. We are on the same campus as Sam’s Travel Center and Sam’s Parking & Storage, which handles trailer staging while the tractor is in the bay.
