The truck is down in Sylvania. The bay is 20 minutes away.
If you run out of Sylvania, Sylvania Township or anywhere along the US-23 side of Lucas County, the shop on Matzinger Rd is one freeway run from you. US-23 south drops you onto I-475 east. I-475 ends at I-75. Three miles north on I-75 is exit 207, Stickney Ave. A mile up Stickney and you are in our lot.
Call ahead and the bay is open when you arrive. That is the whole difference between a truck that is back on the road this afternoon and one that waits until tomorrow.
Directions from Sylvania to 820 Matzinger Rd
From downtown Sylvania, take Monroe St (SR 51) to US-23 south. US-23 merges onto I-475 east at exit 232; just follow the signs for Toledo. Stay on I-475 east past Secor Rd, Douglas Rd and ProMedica Parkway. At exit 20, take 20A for I-75 north toward Detroit.
On I-75 north, pass 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, with Sam’s Travel Center and Sam’s Parking & Storage on the same campus.
About 14 miles. About 20 minutes outside the morning and evening rush on I-475.
From Central Ave (US-20) businesses, get on I-475 at exit 13 and head east the same way.
What is waiting for you when you pull in
- Four technicians. ASE certified. Cummins certified. International certified.
- A certified NAPA Truck Care Center, which means the NAPA parts network and the nationwide NAPA warranty behind the work.
- A qualified DOT inspector for the 49 CFR 396.17 annual inspection, done in the same bay as the repair.
- The Hunter HawkEye XL heavy-duty alignment system, built for tandem axles, not car lifts.
- CARB Clean Truck Check testing for anyone hauling into California.
- Class 4 through Class 8, trucks and trailers. Engines, transmissions, brakes, air, electrical, AC, suspension, welding and trailer structure.
Same-day service on many repairs, depending on parts. We tell you before we start, not after.
If you cannot get the truck to us
The service truck covers Sylvania during shop hours, Monday to Friday, 8 to 5. That is yard PM for small fleets on the Sylvania side of town, mobile welding on a trailer that cannot roll, and on-site repairs where a tow would cost more than the fix.
Call before 2 PM and the tech can usually be on site the same day. Later than that, we schedule you first thing the next morning.
Broken down on US-23 or I-475
US-23 between the Michigan line and the I-475 split is a short, fast stretch with narrow shoulders near the Monroe St exit. Get the rig fully off the travel lane. Hazards on. Triangles at 10, 100 and 200 feet behind the trailer per 49 CFR 392.22. Then call (419) 724-2475.
During shop hours, emergency calls go to the front of the line. We dispatch the service truck or clear a bay, whichever gets you earning faster. Tell us the exit, the direction and what the truck is doing. The tech leaves with the parts that symptom usually needs.
Why Sylvania fleets drive past closer shops
Sylvania has car shops on every corner of Monroe St. It does not have a bay that fits a Class 8 tractor with a 53-foot trailer behind it, a DOT inspector on staff and an alignment rack built for a tandem axle. We do, 14 miles away, with a Google rating of 4.7 from 40 reviews behind the claim.
Independent, not a dealer. You talk to the tech who did the work. No service writer in between.
