Getting here from Albany
I-90 west out of the city to the Thruway at Exit 24, stay on the Thruway to Exit 25, and take I-890 west through Schenectady.
Exit at Route 5 / State St, cross the Western Gateway Bridge into Scotia, and turn right onto Route 50 (Saratoga Rd) north — the Fogg’s Automotive campus is about a mile and a half up.
From the Port of Albany, I-787 north to I-90 west; from the uptown campus, Washington Ave Extension to I-90. About 30 minutes from the Empire State Plaza.

Albany is the biggest fleet market in upstate New York — state agencies and authorities, the Port of Albany, Albany Med and St. Peter’s, downtown delivery and the courier vans that feed the Empire State Plaza — and most of it is 30 minutes from our door via I-90 and I-890.
Fleet coordinators come to us for what the city’s shops cannot offer: 27 bays that can take a dozen units at once, government and postal billing we already run for the United States Postal Service, DOT and NYS inspections batched together, and per-vehicle histories that survive an audit.
For an Albany driver with one car, the drive makes sense for the expensive questions — a transmission, a fleet-grade diesel, a used-truck purchase — not for an oil change, and we will tell you so.
The pattern
What Albany brings us most.
- State-agency, authority and hospital-system fleets on staged drop-offs — a dozen units at a time through 27 bays, billed to a purchase order or one monthly invoice
- DOT annual inspections and NYS inspections batched together for Albany box trucks and cutaways
- Priority breakdown repair for downtown delivery and courier vans so an I-90 breakdown costs a route, not a week
- Transmission diagnosis for Albany commuters and fleet vans: fluid service $189–$349 or an honest replacement number ($3,200–$6,500), decided with live data
Most requested

Albany questions, answered
How far is Fogg’s from Albany, NY?
About 30 minutes (20 miles). I-90 west out of the city to the Thruway at Exit 24, stay on the Thruway to Exit 25, and take I-890 west through Schenectady.
Exit at Route 5 / State St, cross the Western Gateway Bridge into Scotia, and turn right onto Route 50 (Saratoga Rd) north — the Fogg’s Automotive campus is about a mile and a half up.

Our Albany agency needs annual DOT inspections on a dozen box trucks — can you batch them?
Yes.
We stage the trucks through 27 bays in batches that fit your schedule, perform the DOT annual inspection alongside the NYS inspection and any preventive work due, fix the items that would fail roadside in the same bay, and keep the reports and certificates per vehicle for audits.
Billing goes to your purchase order or contract. Programs are quoted per account.
Is it realistic to send a vehicle to Scotia from Albany and have it back the same day?
For most preventive, brake, inspection and diagnostic work, yes — if it reaches us by mid-morning. Fleet units are dispatched first, and 27 bays mean we are not waiting on space.
Fleets of 10+ vehicles can ask about pickup and delivery; otherwise plan the driver or the tow. we tell you in the first hour whether it is a same-day job or a parts wait so you can plan the route either way.
