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."

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 gets a free 1-on-1 safety walkthrough with one of us before they start. We cover how the lift works, jack stand basics, and shop safety. We also help get your car on the lift. You don't need experience — just the willingness to learn.
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.
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.
Let us know as soon as you think you might go over. We can extend your bay if availability allows, or safely hold your vehicle while you rebook for another day. 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.
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.
Yes — give us your VIN and what you're fixing when you book. We order through our FCP Euro account, verify exact fitment, and have your parts sitting on your tool cart when you walk in. No wrong-part trips halfway through the job.
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 — mention your car's configuration when you book and we'll confirm everything is set before you arrive.
Yes. Lift bays are $44/hr Wednesday through Friday versus $49/hr on weekends. Same lift, same tools, same staff. If your schedule is flexible, booking a weekday bay is the easiest way to save on every visit.
Open Wednesday through Sunday, 9AM to 8PM. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We're at 734 Garden Rd, Columbus OH 43214 — 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.
