Columbus Auto Repair — Since the 1980s
Petty's Auto Service has been keeping Columbus drivers on the road for over 40 years. We're a full-service auto repair shop that handles everything from oil changes and brakes to engine rebuilds and complex electrical diagnostics — for cars, trucks, and SUVs of every make and model, including classic and vintage vehicles.
What sets us apart is our electrical diagnostic capability. Modern vehicles run on dozens of sensors, modules, and miles of wiring. When something goes wrong — a check engine light, a battery that keeps dying, an accessory that works sometimes but not always — the problem is often electrical, not mechanical. That's where most shops struggle. It's where we excel.

What makes Petty's different from other auto repair shops in Columbus?
Three things. First, electrical diagnostics is our core specialty — we trace wiring faults, parasitic battery drains, and sensor problems that general repair shops don't have the tools or training to handle. Second, we service both modern and classic vehicles, including custom wiring harness fabrication and hard-to-find parts. Third, we've been in business since the early 1980s — over 40 years of experience means we've seen every type of failure and know how to fix it efficiently.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes — domestic, Asian, and European vehicles of all makes, models, and years. We also specialize in classic and vintage vehicles, including electrical system upgrades, custom wiring, and hard-to-find parts for older cars and trucks.
Do I need an appointment or can I just drop in?
Appointments are recommended so we can plan our schedule and minimize your wait time. You can schedule online at pettysauto.com or call (614) 224-5566. We do our best to accommodate drop-ins and same-day requests when our schedule allows.
