About I-790
Interstate 790 is the short spur that links Thruway Exit 31 with downtown Utica and the North-South Arterial, crossing the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal on the way. The shop is a few minutes from either end.
Where to say you are
Say which way you were heading (toward the Thruway or toward downtown) and the nearest ramp: Exit 31, Genesee Street, or the Arterial.
Call (315) 922-9680 with the road you are on, the direction, the nearest exit, mile marker or cross street, what the truck is doing, and whether you are somewhere safe. The dispatcher tells you on the call when a truck can be there.
What can be fixed where the truck is
When the truck cannot come to the shop, a mechanic comes to the truck: on the shoulder, in a parking lot, at your yard or on a job site. Battery jumps and replacement, tire changes, fuel delivery, air leaks, lights and wiring, belts and hoses, lockouts and other repairs that can be done safely where the truck is. If it needs a lift or a part that takes time to get, the same call arranges a tow to the shop.

Common trouble on I-790
In town, the usual tows are trucks that died at a customer's dock or in a lot, and trucks that cannot be driven after a brake or steering failure.
Stop-and-go delivery work wears brakes, clutches and starters faster than highway miles do, and short trips are hard on diesel particulate filters that never get hot enough to clean themselves.
Questions
Do you cover all of I-790?
The parts nearest the shop are quick to reach. Farther out, the dispatcher tells you on the call whether a truck can reach you in reasonable time, or whether a closer shop makes more sense.
Where does the truck get towed?
To the shop at 2256 Broad St in Frankfort, unless you ask for somewhere else. The repair can start as soon as it arrives.
Is mobile repair available at night?
Yes. The phone and the roadside service run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Broken down? We’re already moving.
Call the shop for an appointment, or call the same number at 2 a.m. from the shoulder of the Thruway. Roadside assistance and towing run around the clock.
