Roads and Junctions We Know in Clintonville
Clintonville runs north from the Ohio State campus along North High Street, with Indianola Avenue to the east and the Olentangy River and State Route 315 along the west side. North Broadway, Weber Road and East North Broadway cross the neighborhood from east to west, and the side streets are lined with old trees, sidewalks and houses set back from the road.
The busy spots are North High Street at the morning and evening rush, the junctions at North Broadway and Morse Road, and the ramps onto State Route 315 at North Broadway. Many side streets are narrow with cars parked on one side, so tell us the street and the nearest cross street when you call, and we plan where the van can stop.
Landmarks and Things to Do in Clintonville
The Park of Roses in Whetstone Park on North High Street holds thousands of rose bushes and draws visitors all summer, and the park’s paths run down to the Olentangy River trail. The stretch of North High Street through the neighborhood has independent shops, coffee houses, restaurants and a weekend farmers market, and the ravines and small parks along the side streets give the area its green, quiet feel.
Most homes here have a driveway, a detached garage or parking at the curb. The mechanic works in the driveway, in the garage if there is room, or at the curb where it is safe. If the car is on North High Street, we may ask you to move it to a side street first, if it can be driven.
Weather and Your Car in Clintonville
The big trees that make Clintonville so pleasant drop a lot of leaves every fall, and they collect in the cowl in front of the windshield and block the drains under it. Water then backs up and leaks onto the floor of the car, or soaks the cabin filter and leaves a musty smell from the vents. Sap and pollen from the same trees coat cars parked at the curb in spring.
Winter brings snow, ice and salt on North High Street and Indianola Avenue, and the freeze and thaw cycle opens potholes on the side streets every spring. Summers are humid, with plenty of days near 90, and summer thunderstorms can bring down branches and drop heavy rain in minutes, so park away from weak limbs when a storm is coming.

Clintonville Car Repair Questions
Water is on my car floor after rain. What causes it?
In Clintonville it is often leaves blocking the cowl drains in front of the windshield. The mechanic clears the drains, checks the seals and dries out the filter.
My car smells musty when the fan runs. Can you fix it?
Yes. A damp cabin filter or a dirty evaporator causes the smell. The mechanic replaces the filter, clears the drain and cleans the system.
Can you fix my car in the driveway?
Yes. Most repairs, from batteries and brakes to sensors and filters, are done right in the driveway or at the curb.
How often should I change the cabin filter here?
With all the leaves and pollen, about once a year is a good habit, and sooner if the airflow drops or the vents smell musty.
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.
