Reliable Auto Care Experts, 635 Old Barnwell Road: 2022 1 comment
Posted at 11:02 pm in closing
(Hat tip to commenter Andy)
Earlier this year, commenter Andy reported that this Springdale auto repair operation was probably closed. I drove out there, to an area I was totally unfamiliar with (one of the perks of this hobby) but could not tell if it were in fact closed or not. (It was a Sunday, I believe). Later, commenter Payne confirmed the closing,and when I drove back out there, there was a real-estate sign in front, and the business signs were down.
I kind of wish I had seen the Christmas lights lit up.

This was interesting to watch.
I used to work on Platt Springs Road and drove by daily. For years no activity, and the lot was completely overgrown. However, the building appeared to be in good shape - no visible damage or roof collapsing.
On a Thurs/Friday morning Fall of 2020 I rode by and saw several cars/vans with Ohio tags. The next Monday morning, the place was cleaned up, freshly painted and open for business. They appeared to be very busy, usually the lot was full of cars waiting to be worked on. Then in April or May 2022, I noticed it was closed up. Everything was gone like it didn't happen. I never saw any signs they were moving.
This area sits on the outer edge of the Columbia Airport property and there 'for sale' signs nearby.
