Shorty's Auto Repair has been on Columbus Road in Centerburg for about forty years. General mechanical work, the hard faults other shops give up on, and a price at the end that customers keep describing as fair. Call (740) 625-7571 and say what the car is doing.
Every item on this list is here because a real customer review or a real business listing names it. Nothing has been padded out with the usual menu of services, because a repair shop should not be advertising work nobody can show it does. Anything not on here is a phone call, not a guess.
Customers describe it as a great mechanical shop with very knowledgeable people, and the word that turns up in nearly every review is honest. That is the whole business in one line. Ring (740) 625-7571 and describe the noise, the light or the leak.
A named review describes an axle, a wheel bearing and a wiper blade all sorted in the one visit, at a fair price. Front end and driveline work like that is the everyday bread and butter here.
One review calls out a very tough problem that this shop worked through, and several others say the same thing in different words. If somewhere else has already told you they cannot find your fault, this is a sensible next phone call.
A 1993 Ford F-150 shows up by name in a customer review. A shop that has been open forty years is usually comfortable with vehicles that are not fresh off the lot, and the reviews read exactly that way.
Not every job needs a lift and a week. Wiper blades get a specific mention in a review, which tells you small jobs are welcome here rather than treated as a nuisance to be squeezed in.
Listed in the shop's own directory entry under services, right alongside auto repair. Worth one phone call before you load the mower up and drive it to Mount Vernon.
Here is the honest situation. The web address printed on the shop's own business listings, shortyusa.com, returns nothing at all in a browser, checked again this week. Somebody searching for Shorty's on a phone finds a number, a dead link and no hours, then rings the shop that does have a website. This page is a demo of what showing up properly looks like, built only from information already published about this shop.
Say what the car is doing and when it does it. A noise on a cold start and a noise at highway speed are two completely different problems, and saying which saves everybody time.
The shop runs Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and is closed Saturday and Sunday. There is no weekend cover, so plan around that.
Reviewers say the same thing over and over, that he is not the type of mechanic who will try to sell you repairs you do not need. That is the single reason people keep driving here.
Fair price is the most repeated phrase across this shop's reviews, going back years. Not cheapest, fair, which is the one that matters when the job is done properly.
Shorty's Auto Repair sits at 3851 Columbus Road in Centerburg, in Knox County, and its business listing puts it at about forty years in business. Willis Ellis runs it. The reviews are the good kind, the ones that talk about being treated like family and about a mechanic who will tell you when you do not need the work, rather than the ones that talk about a coupon. There is even a shop dog that the parts delivery drivers keep bones in the truck for. What the shop does not have is a working website, so none of that reaches anybody searching on a phone at half past eight in the morning with a car that will not start.
These hours come from two independent business listings that actually agree with each other, which is better than most small shops manage online. Even so, a shop this size can have everybody out on a road call or under one car all morning, so a quick ring on (740) 625-7571 before you drive over is never a wasted minute.
The shop is at 3851 Columbus Road in Centerburg, in Knox County, on the main road through town. Worth knowing before you set off, one listing prints the number as 3941 rather than 3851, so if your map app puts you in the wrong driveway, ring (740) 625-7571 and they will point you the right way.
A noise, a light on the dash, a pull to one side, something that started right after you hit a pothole. Describe it in your own words, there is no wrong way to say it, and somebody will come back to you. Or skip all this and ring (740) 625-7571.
No honest shop prices a repair before it has looked at the car, so you will not find a price list here. What the reviews do say, consistently and for years, is that the number at the end is fair and that you will not be sold work you did not need.
$49 one time setup, then $79/month, no contract. Hosting, lead capture, traffic tracking, and your own dashboard are all included.
