Service area · 5220 Trabue Road, Suite D, Columbus, OH 43228
One bay.
West side.
Off the outerbelt.
We are not a chain and we do not have a location near you. There is one building, on Trabue Road, and everybody drives to it — so the useful thing we can put on this page is not a list of towns we “proudly serve.” It is how you actually get here, and what is waiting when you do.
Finding the door
Trabue Road runs east and west across the west side of Columbus, just inside the I-270 outerbelt. That is the whole geography lesson. If you are coming from anywhere north — Dublin, Powell, Worthington — you are coming down the west leg of 270. If you are coming up from Grove City you are on the same leg going the other way. Hilliard never has to get on it at all.
The address ends in Suite D and that letter is doing real work. It is a suite, not a showroom on a corner with a twenty-foot sign, and people miss it the first time. That is not a confession, it is a tip: put 5220 Trabue Road, Suite D in your phone, and if you are circling the lot, call. Somebody will walk out and wave you in. First trip is the only hard one.
What we are not going to do is tell you it is twelve minutes from your driveway. We do not know what your driveway is, and 270 does what it wants at five o’clock. The road names are on the map. The clock is between you and the outerbelt.
The door on Trabue, shot from the lot, so you know it when you see it.
The law does not change when you cross a city line
Ohio’s tint limit is a state rule. Dublin has its own police department. So does Powell, so does Worthington, so does Hilliard. Every one of them writes the ticket out of the same state code.
There is no Dublin tint rule. No Franklin County tint rule. No Delaware County loophole because you live north of the line. Front doors are 50% — that is Ohio law, and we will tell you before you pay, not after. Anybody selling you a darker front door because of what suburb you park in is betting your money and their own licence.
Source: Ohio Administrative Code 4501-41-03 and Ohio Revised Code 4513.241. It is the same paragraph in every town on this page.
Read the actual law →The other thing that does not change with your zip code: the weather. The bay is indoors and climate-controlled, so a February install and an August install are the same install. Film does not care that it is sleeting in the lot. Your appointment does not move because the forecast did — which matters more than it sounds like when you are the one driving two sides of the outerbelt to get here.
No dust in my bay. That is the whole reason it is a bay and not a driveway.
The drive, by direction
Four towns have a page of their own, because there was something true to say about each one that was not true about the others. Routes only — check them on a map before you believe us.
- Hilliard→
Same side of the outerbelt as us
The one town on this list that never has to touch a highway. Hilliard sits north of the Trabue Road corridor on our side of 270 — surface roads the whole way if you want them, and that is worth knowing on a snowy morning when the outerbelt is a parking lot.
- Dublin→
Straight down 270's west leg
Historic Dublin and this bay sit on nearly the same line of longitude — a useless fact that happens to mean the drive is one road. You get on 270 going south and you get off on the west side. Nobody is tinting cars on Bridge Street, so whoever serves Dublin is driving you somewhere.
- Powell→
Sawmill down to 270, then the west leg
The only one that starts in Delaware County. Sawmill carries you down to the outerbelt and the outerbelt carries you around to us. Crossing out of Delaware County changes your plates and your school levy. It does not change one word of the tint law below.
- Worthington→
Around the top of 270, then south
The long way round, and we will say so. Worthington is up on the north leg, so you take 270 west and let it bend south — you are driving two sides of the outerbelt to get here. Worth a phone call first to make one trip out of it instead of two.
Everywhere else people drive from
These do not have a page and are not getting one written for the sake of having one. That is exactly the trick that got our old city pages thrown out of Google, and it wasted everybody’s time.
- Columbus →
Not a place we drive to — it is the address on the door. 43228 is Columbus. That page is the main one.
- Grove City
South of us on the same west leg of 270, coming north instead of down. Same road, opposite direction.
- Plain City
Out past the edge of the county, and the farthest regular drive we see. Call before you make it.
- Upper Arlington
East of us, close enough that the outerbelt is optional. UA searches land on our Columbus page.
If your town is not on this list it does not mean we won’t take the car. It means nobody has driven in from there often enough for us to have anything honest to say about the drive.
Make the drive once.
Call before you get in the car and Ameer will tell you what the job takes, what it costs, and whether you want the shuttle. He answers the phone himself — not a service, not a form that emails somebody on Tuesday.
