Getting here from Schenectady
From downtown, take State St (Route 5) west across the Western Gateway Bridge into Scotia, then turn right onto Route 50 (Saratoga Rd) at the Mohawk Ave light by Collins Park — the Fogg’s Automotive campus is about a mile and a half up on Route 50.
From Mohawk Harbor, Rivers Casino or the GE side of town, Erie Blvd to Freemans Bridge Rd is quicker: cross the river and turn onto Route 50 north. Ten minutes either way, no interstate.
642 Saratoga Rd Suite B, Scotia, NY 12302 · Early drop-off from 7:30 AM · after-hours key drop
Schenectady is the city we grew up across the river from — the Western Gateway Bridge puts downtown ten minutes from our 27 bays.
We service a lot of Electric City commuter cars from the GE Vernova campus, Ellis Hospital, Union College and SUNY Schenectady, plus the delivery vans, box trucks and work pickups that run State St, Erie Blvd and Route 7 all day.
Fleet accounts from the city get priority bays, batched NYS inspections and one monthly invoice; a Mont Pleasant or Upper Union St household with one car gets the same technician and the same published prices.
The pattern
What Schenectady brings us most.
- Downtown delivery vans and box trucks from the State St and Erie Blvd routes on preventive-maintenance intervals — NYS inspections batched, one monthly invoice
- Brake jobs on Route 7 and I-890 commuter cars: pads from $189 an axle, done between a 7:30 AM drop-off and the drive home
- Check-engine lights diagnosed ($89–$149, credited) before the sticker expires — a lit light fails the OBD-II portion of the NYS inspection
- Salt-and-pothole repairs after a Schenectady winter: rusted brake lines, control arms and wheel bearings from State St and Route 7 freeze-thaw

Schenectady questions, answered
How far is Fogg’s from Schenectady, NY?
About 10 minutes (5 miles).
From downtown, take State St (Route 5) west across the Western Gateway Bridge into Scotia, then turn right onto Route 50 (Saratoga Rd) at the Mohawk Ave light by Collins Park — the Fogg’s Automotive campus is about a mile and a half up on Route 50.
From Mohawk Harbor, Rivers Casino or the GE side of town, Erie Blvd to Freemans Bridge Rd is quicker: cross the river and turn onto Route 50 north. Ten minutes either way, no interstate.
I work at GE Vernova or Ellis — can I drop the car before a shift and have it back the same day?
Yes. We open at 7:30 AM, and Freemans Bridge Rd puts the GE campus and Ellis ten minutes from our lot.
Most brake jobs, NYS inspections, oil changes and diagnostics are finished the same day, and we call with measurements and a price before any work starts. Early-shift drop-offs are routine for Schenectady customers.
We run a dozen delivery vans out of Schenectady — how does a fleet account with Fogg’s actually work?
Two work vehicles is enough to open one, so a dozen is comfortable.
We set preventive-maintenance intervals per van, you stage two or three at a time over the bridge so routes stay covered, a down unit jumps the queue, NYS inspections are batched, and everything lands on one monthly invoice with per-vehicle history.
Pricing is quoted per account.
