This isn't a repair shop. You do the work on your own car. We provide a clean, climate-controlled space with the kind of equipment most people don't have access to. No shop labor markup. No strangers touching your car. Just you working on it properly.

What makes it worth it
▸ No more lying on your back. A real lift means you can finally see what you're doing. Stand up. Work comfortably.
▸ No more fighting the weather. Work inside, any season. Rain or shine, hot or cold. It doesn't matter.
▸ It's your car, your way. No shop markup. No stranger touching it. No waiting on someone else's schedule.

You already know how to do this. We just give you the space to do it right.

Booking: No live calendar. Submit a request below, or tap the number to call now. We confirm your bay within a few hours so everything is ready before you arrive.

The Story Behind Pit Row
Why We
Built This.
David Alley at Pit Row Performance
"We had Ben's car up on jacks in the rain. It was too late to stop. We threw a canopy over ourselves and just finished the job."Dave Alley, Owner

If you've ever worked on a car in a parking lot, a driveway, or under a canopy in the rain, that was us. For years. We love cars. But doing real work in those conditions can be absolutely miserable. So we built something better.

We built Pit Row so nobody in Columbus has to do that anymore. A proper space, professional lifts, a full set of tools. The kind of setup we always wished existed. When we opened the doors, over 200 people showed up. In the rain. The most common thing we heard: "I've been looking for a place like this."

We built the kind of place we always wanted to work in. We hope it feels that way to you too.

FAQ · Common Questions
Questions People
Actually Ask.
You do the work on your own car. That's the whole idea. Pit Row is a DIY garage, not a repair shop. We give you the professional space, the commercial lift, and the tools. Our staff is on-site if you have questions, but the wrench is in your hand.
Completely fine. Every first-time customer completes a required 1-on-1 safety walkthrough with one of us before they start. We cover how the lift works and shop safety. We also help get your car on the lift. You don't need experience. Just the willingness to learn.
We handle every situation case by case and work with you to find the right solution. Our staff is there specifically for moments like this. If you hit a snag or get in over your head, come find us. We'll figure it out together.
No. Every rental includes a loaded BoxO USA toolbox: hand tools, sockets, torque wrenches, impact guns, and air tools. We're adding to the inventory regularly. You're welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
Our 4 Rotary SP commercial 2-post lifts handle most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks up to a half-ton pickup. Very low or heavily modified vehicles may need extra puck setup. Just mention your car's configuration when you book and we'll confirm everything is set before you arrive.
Let us know as soon as you think you might go over. We'll do what we can to work it out with you. Every situation is a little different. For bigger jobs, it's always smart to book a bit more time than you think you'll need on the first attempt. We only charge you for the time you're here, so we don't mind if you book extra.
Yes, for members. Give us your VIN and what you're fixing when you book, and our parts concierge orders through FCP Euro, AutoZone, or Advance Auto. We verify exact fitment first, so your parts are sitting on your tool cart when you walk in.
No live calendar. Fill out the form below or call/text (380) 210-4202. We confirm your bay within a few hours so the right lift bay, tool cart, and any parts are fully ready before you arrive.
Open Wednesday through Sunday, 9AM to 8PM. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We're at 734 Garden Rd, Columbus OH 43214, in the Clintonville area near Morse Rd and Indianola. Parking is on-site. You can also look us up on Google Maps or Apple Maps. We're on both.
