Life at Fogg’s · Scotia, NY
Great work.
Then an actual life.
This trade burns people out with weekend shifts, commission games, and slow seasons that cut your hours. We built the opposite on purpose — 27 bays of steady fleet work on Route 50, Monday to Friday, with the weekends yours.

Benefits & culture
What you actually get.
No ping-pong tables. The benefits that matter in this trade are time, steady hours, respect, and tools — and your name on the findings you sign.
Every weekend. Every time.
The shop closes Friday at 6 and doesn’t reopen until Monday at 7:30. Not “most weekends” — all of them. Your Saturdays belong to you, permanently.
Steady work, twelve months a year
Fleet volume — postal units, contractor vans, municipal trucks on maintenance intervals — keeps the board full in February, not just October. No slow-season hour cuts.
Zero commission pressure
Nobody’s paycheck depends on upselling a driver or a fleet manager. Recommend what the measurements support; a decline-friendly culture is the whole brand.
Real equipment, 27 bays of it
27 lifts, a Hunter alignment rack, factory-level scan platforms across makes, and the tooling for light and medium-duty diesel — Power Stroke, Duramax, Cummins. Work like it’s this decade.
Certification support
ASE testing and the New York State inspector license are supported — a licensed inspection station runs on licensed inspectors, and techs who level up make the whole shop better.
A desk that has your back
The service desk and the fleet desk handle the phones, the scheduling, and the difficult conversations — so the bays can focus on the vehicles.
A day in the life
An honest Tuesday.
No hero shifts, no 7 PM “can you stay late” — the day has a shape and it holds. Fleet units go on the board first; the rest of the day follows.
- 7:30 AM
Doors open. Fleet drop-offs — postal units, contractor vans, the municipal pickup that came in on the overnight key drop — get staged first and claim their bays before the first customer-pay car rolls in.
- 8:15 AM
Inspections underway across the floor. Photos and measurements go straight into the digital report; the service desk starts walking drivers through findings by phone while the fleet desk sends per-vehicle reports to the account managers.
- 10:00 AM
The New York State inspection lane runs in batches. The alignment rack is booked through lunch.
- 12:00 PM
Lunch actually happens. The rack schedule is the fleet desk’s problem, not yours.
- 2:00 PM
Morning approvals turn into afternoon repairs. Parts land from the Route 50 campus and local suppliers; the fleet units that jumped the queue go out the door first.
- 4:45 PM
Road tests, final photos, pickup calls. Tomorrow’s board gets set — including the next morning’s staged fleet drop-offs.
- 6:00 PM
Lights off. Back at it tomorrow at 7:30.
