Paul & Vickie Combs, Owners

Paul began his career in the auto industry over 40 years ago as a technician. During that time, the development of North Columbus was frantic. More residents meant more demand. Paul chose to pursue the American dream of starting his own business; Combs Collision. Looking for bright minds to join the Combs team, Paul still mentors the careers of many, whose loyalty and passion are reflected in their work.

“The success of this business is a testament to the dedication of every person on this team to deliver happiness to our customers.” – Paul Combs

Earth Friendly

The safety and health of our team and the environment is our commitment. From the recycling of packaging to the design of our paint spray booths -we prefer green.

Our respirators use HEPA filtration, our gloves and face protection are OSHA approved, and exposure to hazmat products is kept to an absolute minimum.

We also recycle at every touchpoint; packaging, refrigerant, and protective safety garments.

We prefer and use waterborne, earth-friendly primers and paints rather than solvent-based paints. These premium PPG finishes dramatically reduce the emission of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that are hazardous to our environment.

Our paint booths use overspray capture and tacky intake filters to capture even the smallest airborne paint particles.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation

In the past nine years, ASDF has provided direct financial assistance to approximately 3,319 families who have children on the autism spectrum. ASDF has given out autism awareness information to more than 3,428,000 new mothers through hospitals in all 50 states through their Autism Awareness Program. In 2019, they provided 84 iPads to children who are nonverbal and 354 gift cards from Walmart and Target to families who needed assistance.
