About Route 5S
Route 5S runs along the south bank of the Mohawk River from Utica east through Frankfort, Ilion and Mohawk toward Little Falls and on down the valley. The shop is on Broad Street at the Utica end of it.
Where to say you are
Say which village you are nearest (Frankfort, Ilion, Mohawk, or past Little Falls) and which way you were heading.
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 Route 5S
In the valley most tows are trucks that will not restart at a yard, or a failure on Route 5 or 5S where there is no safe room to work.
Valley work mixes highway miles with village streets and short hills, so the common jobs are brakes, air leaks, suspension bushings and charging problems.
Questions
Do you cover all of Route 5S?
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.
Do you tow semi tractors?
Yes. Towing covers everything from box trucks up to semi tractors.
Do you come to a yard or a job site, not just the highway?
Yes. Mobile repair comes to a parking lot, a fleet yard, a farm or a job site as well as the shoulder.
