Franklinton, Columbus, OH
Your Franklinton Mechanic On Sullivant Ave
Franklinton sits right next to downtown, and most of the shops close to it are either dealer service departments or quick-lube chains. Budget Auto Fix is the independent option eight minutes west on Sullivant — far enough to be off the downtown price tag, close enough to drive a sick car to without the highway.
If the car will not make it, we tow locally during shop hours and quote the tow and the repair together, so you are not coordinating two companies.
Getting Here From Franklinton
About 3 miles and 8 minutes outside rush hour: straight out west on Sullivant Ave. No freeway needed, which is the point if the car is not running right.
Map and directions →What city driving here does to a car
- Constant short hops into downtown keep the engine cool and the battery under-charged — a common reason a battery that tested fine in summer dies in January.
- Lights, rail crossings and construction around the Scioto mean a lot of braking for not many miles.
- Street parking takes curb strikes and tight turns, which knock alignment out more than people expect.
