Getting here from Colonie & Latham
Two ways. Route 7 (Troy-Schenectady Rd) west from Latham through Niskayuna into Schenectady, then Erie Blvd to Freemans Bridge Rd, across the river and onto Route 50 north — all surface roads, about 25 minutes.
Or from Wolf Rd and the airport, the Northway south to I-90 west, Thruway Exit 25 onto I-890 west, exit at Route 5 / State St, cross the Western Gateway Bridge into Scotia and turn right onto Route 50.
Fifteen miles either way; Route 7 wins outside rush hour.

Colonie and Latham run on wheels: Albany International Airport and its shuttle and rental lots, the Wolf Rd and Route 9 retail strip, the Albany-Shaker Rd office parks, and more state-agency and corporate fleet vehicles per square mile than anywhere else in the Capital Region.
We are 25 minutes west, and we take the Colonie fleets that four-bay shops cannot absorb — a dozen units on staged drop-offs through 27 bays, government and FMC billing, per-vehicle records a fleet coordinator can actually audit.
Latham households come along the same Route 7 for the same reasons: a bay reserved for their arrival, measurements on the invoice, published prices.

Colonie & Latham questions, answered
How far is Fogg’s from Colonie & Latham, NY?
About 25 minutes (15 miles). Two ways. Route 7 (Troy-Schenectady Rd) west from Latham through Niskayuna into Schenectady, then Erie Blvd to Freemans Bridge Rd, across the river and onto Route 50 north — all surface roads, about 25 minutes.
Or from Wolf Rd and the airport, the Northway south to I-90 west, Thruway Exit 25 onto I-890 west, exit at Route 5 / State St, cross the Western Gateway Bridge into Scotia and turn right onto Route 50.
Fifteen miles either way; Route 7 wins outside rush hour.
We are a state agency with pool vehicles in Colonie — can you bill through our fleet management company or purchase orders?
Yes. We bill FMC and national accounts routinely, take purchase orders where procurement requires them, and consolidate everything else onto one monthly invoice with cost-per-unit. Every vehicle carries its own history with dates, mileage and measurements.
We already run this cadence for the United States Postal Service; government programs are quoted per account.
Why would I drive from Latham past a dozen shops on Route 7 to get to Scotia?
Capacity and evidence. Twenty-seven bays mean a reserved bay when you arrive and same-day turnaround on most work instead of “leave it a few days.”
Every recommendation comes with a measurement or a photo, prices are published, and a $89–$149 diagnostic is credited to the repair. Route 7 west is 25 minutes against the commute both ways.
