Where the shop is relative to the toll road

The Ohio Turnpike crosses the Toledo area in about 22 miles, from Maumee at exit 59 to Elmore at exit 81. We are north of all of it, a mile off I-75 at exit 207 in north Toledo. The toll road has three ways to reach us, and one of them is clearly the shortest.

Exit 59, mile 59: US-20, Maumee and Toledo. Reynolds Rd. From here, Dussel Dr west to I-475 north, I-475 around the west side of Toledo to I-75 north at exit 20A, then I-75 to exit 207. About 17 miles, about 22 minutes.

Exit 71, mile 72: I-280 north and SR 420 south, Toledo and Stony Ridge. This is the truck stop exit. TA, Petro, Pilot Flying J and Love’s all sit at I-280 exit 1B. From here, I-280 north 12 miles across the Veterans’ Glass City Skyway to I-75, follow the ramp for I-75 south, and take the first exit, 207. About 15 miles, about 20 minutes.

Which exit to take when the truck is failing

If the truck is still moving, do not stop on the Turnpike shoulder. Get to the next exit or the next service plaza. The lots at exit 71 are the best place in this corridor to park a sick truck: four truck stops, scales, room to wait, and a straight road to us.

If it is not moving, get fully onto the shoulder. 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. Direction, last exit or mile marker, symptom.

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 moving sooner. The Turnpike has its own rules for service vehicles on the toll road itself, so if you are between exits we will tell you honestly whether the truck can reach you or a tow to the bay is faster. Outside shop hours the shop is closed, and we say so here rather than let you find out on the shoulder.

What the service truck brings

Mobile welding. Tire service. Air and brake repairs. Electrical and lighting. Enough diagnostics to tell you on the spot whether it is a lot fix or a bay job. The exit 71 truck stops, the exit 64 interchange and the Reynolds Rd side of exit 59 are all inside its normal range during shop hours.

What the bay brings

Four technicians. ASE, Cummins and International certified. Certified NAPA Truck Care Center with the NAPA parts network and warranty behind the work, which matters when you are 300 miles from home. Qualified DOT inspector under 49 CFR 396.17. Hunter HawkEye XL heavy-duty 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.

Questions drivers and fleet managers ask

Which Turnpike exit gets me to the shop fastest?

Exit 64, I-75. North about 12 miles to exit 207, Stickney Ave, then north on Stickney about a mile to Matzinger Rd. About 13 miles and about 17 minutes from the toll plaza.

I am at the truck stops at exit 71. Can you come to me?

Yes, during shop hours, Monday to Friday 8 to 5. The TA, Petro, Pilot Flying J and Love's lots at exit 71 and I-280 exit 1B are about 15 miles from us and a routine run for the service truck. Call with the lot and the symptom.

Can the service truck come onto the Turnpike itself?

The Turnpike has its own rules for service vehicles on the toll road. If the truck will still move, get to the next exit or a service plaza and call us from there. If it will not move, call us and we will tell you honestly what the fastest path is.

Does it matter whether I am eastbound or westbound?

Only for which exit comes first. Eastbound from Indiana you hit 59, then 64, then 71. Westbound from Cleveland you hit 81, then 71, then 64. Exit 64 is the shortest route to the shop from either direction.
