Roads and Junctions We Know on the Hilltop
The Hilltop is the big west side area of Columbus, sitting high above the Scioto River west of downtown. West Broad Street is its main road, running straight out from downtown with shops, gas stations and businesses on both sides, and Sullivant Avenue runs parallel to the south. Hague Avenue and Wilson Road carry traffic north and south, and I-70 runs right through the area on its way west.
The busy spots are the I-70 interchanges at Wilson Road and Hague Avenue at rush hour, West Broad Street at the long lights near the shopping plazas, and the railroad crossings on the south side. Trucks use these roads heavily, so tell us the street and the nearest cross street when you call and we plan a safe spot to work.
Landmarks and Things to Do on the Hilltop
Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery on Sullivant Avenue marks the site of a Civil War prison camp, with its stone arch and rows of small headstones, and it draws visitors with an interest in history all year. The area also has neighborhood parks, a branch library, churches, and the long run of local restaurants and shops along West Broad Street.
Most homes here are older houses with driveways or parking at the curb, and many people work at the businesses and warehouses on the west side. The mechanic works in the driveway, at the curb or in a work lot. If the car is on a busy road like West Broad Street, we may ask you to move it to a side street or a lot first, if it is safe to drive.
Weather and Your Car on the Hilltop
Winter on the Hilltop means snow, ice and road salt, and the wind across the high ground can make a cold morning feel even colder. Salt and brine from West Broad Street and I-70 rust brake lines, exhaust hangers and the underside of the car, and the freeze and thaw cycle leaves potholes on Sullivant Avenue and the side streets every spring. A weak battery shows itself on the first hard frost.
Summers are humid and hot, with plenty of days near 90, and a cooling system that copes in spring can overheat in August traffic on I-70. Thunderstorms can drop heavy rain quickly and leave water standing in the low spots near the railroad underpasses, so never drive through deep water. Heat and cold together crack belts and hoses on older cars.
Common Car Problems We Fix on the Hilltop
Calls here are mostly batteries and starters, brakes worn in stop and go traffic, rusted brake lines and exhaust parts, cooling system leaks, check engine lights and suspension wear from potholes. Many drivers keep older cars running a long time, and we help with the regular repairs that keep them on the road. The mechanic carries a scan tool and the common parts, so most of these jobs are finished in one visit.
Families, Workers and Small Businesses
Families on the Hilltop rely on one or two cars for work, school and errands, and a breakdown in the driveway throws off the whole week. Workers at the warehouses and businesses on the west side need their cars to start at the end of a shift, and small businesses along West Broad Street keep work vans and pickups busy all day. Each of them gets the same visit: a mechanic at the car, a plain explanation and the price before any work starts.
Getting a Mechanic to You on the Hilltop
Call with the street address or the business you are parked near, and tell us what the car is doing. The mechanic arrives with a scan tool and the common parts, finds the fault and gives you the price before any work starts.

Hilltop Car Repair Questions
Can you fix my car in my driveway on the Hilltop?
Yes. Most repairs, from batteries and brakes to sensors and cooling system parts, are done right in the driveway or at the curb.
My brake pedal sinks lower than it used to. Is that rust?
It can be. Rusted brake lines can leak fluid, and a leak makes the pedal sink. Have it checked before driving the car hard.
Can you fix a work van at our business lot?
Yes. Work vans and pickups are covered, and the mechanic comes to the lot so the vehicle is back to work as soon as possible.
My car overheats in traffic on I-70. What causes it?
A weak cooling fan, low coolant from a leak, a stuck thermostat or a clogged radiator are the usual causes. The mechanic tests the system to find the real one.
Does road salt really hurt my car that much?
Over a few winters it does. Salt and brine rust brake lines, calipers, exhaust hangers and the underside of the car. A rinse underneath after a week of road salt and a yearly check catch the damage early.
