• The Town of New Glasgow takes great pride in having a mechanical staff with expertise to provide vehicle specification and mechanical diagnosis, and to repair a wide variety of equipment, from emergency Police and Fire vehicles, to snow plows, graders, and a bus fleet.
• The department uses modern diagnostic equipment at a well-maintained Mechanical Shop at our Public Works facility on East River Road, New Glasgow.
