Our Story

Building trust in Grove City through honest diagnostics and quality repairs since 2015.

C & J Auto Repair shop exterior in Grove City Ohio

Started With a Simple Mission

C & J Auto Repair began in 2015 with a clear purpose: provide Grove City drivers with honest, accurate automotive diagnostics without the hassle. We noticed too many shops were replacing parts before properly diagnosing issues — and customers were paying the price.

Today, we're proud to be the area's go-to destination for check engine lights, electrical problems, and comprehensive vehicle health assessments. Our investment in dealer-grade diagnostic technology means we can read your vehicle's computer codes accurately, saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.

Every technician on our team holds ASE certifications, and we stay current with ongoing training as vehicles become increasingly computer-dependent. When your check engine light comes on, you deserve answers — not guesswork.

  • Locally owned and operated — we're your neighbors
  • ASE-certified master technicians
  • Latest-generation diagnostic equipment
  • Upfront, transparent pricing always
