Wrench Monkey Customs & Repair Owner Jimmy Dean will use his more than 30 years' experience to properly diagnose and repair - or customize or fabricate - your vehicle.

Jimmy Dean, Wrench Monkey’s owner/operator, has had a lifelong love of cars. He began working on them when he was 16 years old, starting with the very first car he owned. Over the years he has continued this work - both as a hobby and for a living. Over the last 26 years of his automotive career, Jimmy has worked at dealerships, was the lead mechanic at one of the City of Columbus’ school bus garages, and worked at several high performance shops, as well as doing restorations and fabrications – all in the Columbus, Ohio area. After being a lifelong central Ohio resident, Jimmy moved with his family to Ashtabula in the summer of 2016. He has settled in to small town life and has been able, here, to realize his dream of opening his own repair and customization shop. Jimmy lives his life with a focus on integrity, trustworthiness, and reliability, and Wrench Monkey Customs and Repair operates with the same core values.

We'll be closed the week of August 31-September 4 for maintenance and repairs. We'll be around the shop working, so you can still find us there if you need us, we just aren't scheduling/working on cars for the week!
We'll also be closed on Monday, September 7 for Labor Day.

Everyone have a safe and happy holiday, and here's hoping nobody loses any fingers!! 🤞🎆

Y'all, it's HOT. 🥵
This week is gonna be pretty miserable.
We don't have AC in the shop, and the air is as thick as pea soup. Just a heads up that if it gets too hot in here for us to work safely, we'll have to close. We'll make the decision on a day to day basis, and we'll update here and on the answering machine.
Stay safe and cool! 😎

Intoxalock is back to full functionality! I can't speak for every shop, but we are not charging any of our customers who had a lockout or premature calibration required as a result of the security breach at Intoxalock. Life is hard enough, let's do what we can to take care of each other ❤️

03/19/2026

To our Intoxalock customers - we are aware of the service problems created by the cyber/security breach at Intoxalock. If you're due for a calibration or have received a lockout notification, all we are able to do at this point is connect your device to the service machine and give a 10 day extension for calibrations/lockouts (this service will not cost you anything). We are unable to access our Intoxalock service center account, and our communication with them is limited to the same text message line as everyone else. They have not given any estimated time for restoration of service. We know this is causing people lots of issues, and if we are given any other ways to help we will certainly let you all know. We will update here with any information as we get it!

Our phone and internet are still down! We're waiting on a repair. If you need us, please message us on here or call our number and leave a voicemail, I get those via text on my cell.

We're closing down for the day due to the weather. We have folks heading home to Jefferson, and want to make sure everyone makes it home safely. (Our phone and internet are down also, which makes it hard to get things done also!). Feel free to message us on here if you need us, or you can leave a message on the shop voicemail that we'll return tomorrow. Stay safe and warm!

The hardest part of running a family business is figuring out how to manage family and the business. We've had a lot going on with the family recently, so if we've been slow to respond or not available when you need us, we are truly sorry. We don't want to let anyone down or make anyone unhappy. Unfortunately sometimes we just have to make a choice and we have to choose our family. We hope you understand. We appreciate all of you, and without you we couldn't do what we love! 💙🖤
