✨Business Beat--Driven by Detail: A&W Precision Brings the Shine to You

What began as a few favors for friends has transformed into one of Central Ohio’s most meticulous mobile detailing businesses. AJ Woodruff, alongside business partner Willem Frank, co-owns A&W Precision Detailing, where every job is fueled by passion, precision, and an eye for the details that others often miss.

“We’ve always been into cars and take pride in the little things most people overlook,” AJ shares. “What started out as helping friends and family just grew naturally. People saw the results, and it took off.”

From deep-cleaning carpets and conditioning leather to restoring trim and applying spray wax, A&W Precision offers comprehensive interior and exterior detailing, utilizing high-end products and a meticulous approach. Even better? They’re fully mobile, bringing the detailing experience right to their clients’ driveways.

“What sets us apart,” AJ explains, “is that we don’t cut corners. We take our time, pay attention to every detail, and make sure each car looks its absolute best.”
One of AJ’s favorite transformations involved a car that hadn’t been cleaned in over 80,000 miles—and had two shedding dogs in the back seat to prove it. “Every inch of the carpets was covered in dog hair. It took twice as long as a normal detail, but in the end, it was worth it. Seeing the owner’s reaction was the best part.”

More than just a business, A&W Precision is the product of dedication and hustle—values AJ credits in part to the encouragement of his aunt and uncle, Kristen and Johnny Scharer, residents of Wedgewood and supporters of his journey.
With over two years in business and growing demand throughout the Columbus area, AJ and Willem continue to build a reputation for excellence, one spotless car at a time.

🚌Wedgewood Homeowners Association: Back to School & Community Safety

With the excitement of a new school year also comes a heightened need for awareness and care throughout our community, especially when it comes to street safety.

Wedgewood is home to many school-aged children, and during the morning and afternoon rush, our sidewalks and streets see a lot of activity. We kindly request that all residents make a conscious effort to drive more slowly in the neighborhood. Even a slight speed reduction can make a significant difference in preventing accidents.

It’s also important to stay vigilant near bus stops. Ohio law requires all drivers to stop when a school bus has its stop sign extended, whether you’re behind the bus or approaching from the opposite direction on an undivided roadway. Never attempt to pass a stopped bus. These moments of loading and unloading are among the most hazardous for children, and your patience truly helps keep them safe.
As many families adjust to new schedules, we encourage everyone to allow themselves a little extra time in the mornings. Leaving five or ten minutes earlier can reduce stress, minimize rushing, and contribute to a calmer, safer environment for everyone in Wedgewood.

If you’re a parent or guardian, this is also a great time to review safety tips with your child—remind them to walk on sidewalks when available, to cross at corners, and to never assume a driver sees them. If your children ride bikes or scooters, now is a great time to check helmet fit, brakes, and lights.

Our neighborhood thrives because of the care we show one another. Whether it’s waving to a neighbor on a morning walk or driving a little slower because a child is near the curb, these everyday choices reflect what makes Wedgewood such a special place to live.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe, thoughtful, and welcoming as we enter a new school year.

🖍Meet Your Neighbors: Crayons, Courage & First-Day Smiles

This fall, four young residents—Scarlett, Henry, Reagan, and Isla—are heading off to kindergarten, full of excitement, curiosity, and just a few first-day jitters. Here’s a glimpse into what’s on their minds as they prepare to take that brave first step into school life.

At five years old, Scarlett is most excited about one very important thing: “Playing with all the toys!” She envisions her kindergarten class simply and confidently and is ready to embrace it with her favorite supplies: “Markers and crayons.” Drawing is her happy place, and Scarlett hopes her teacher is “nice and funny.”

Henry is looking forward to kindergarten for many reasons, but what tops his list is “meeting new friends and seeing my classroom.” “I want to learn how to read,” Henry said thoughtfully. He’s also excited to use glue sticks and scissors, and already has his backpack plan figured out: water bottle, lunchbox, notebook, and pencils.

Reagan is heading to school on the bus and is ready to dive into her favorite subjects. Her number one pick? “Math!” Her classroom expectations are just as colorful as her personality. “I think it will be colorful and rainbow,” she said, already imagining the fun. “I want to make art,” Reagan shared.

Isla is heading to school on the bus, with one goal in mind: “To meet new friends.”
“I want to learn to color good,” she said. She’s ready for outdoor recess and good food at lunch, and if she gets shy, she might not know exactly what to do—but that’s okay.

For each of these children, kindergarten is more than just a new grade—it’s the beginning of a journey filled with friendships, challenges, creativity, and fun.
To all of the new kindergarteners in our neighborhood, have a wonderful, colorful, and joy-filled first year of school. We’re cheering you on every step of the way!

🚴‍♂️Event Review--Pedaling Toward a Cure: Young Riders Make Big Impact at Stroll for Life

United by purpose, powered by pedals—local families and neighborhoods raised over $10,000 for pediatric cancer research at the first-ever Stroll for Life Kids Ride.

On Saturday, June 7th, Glacier Ridge Metro Park transformed into a trail of hope and determination as 55 young riders gathered for the inaugural Stroll for Life – Pelotonia Kids Ride. With over $10,668 raised for pediatric cancer research, the event was an inspiring display of heart, community, and the power of youth in action.

Created through the collaborative efforts of Stroll Highland Lakes, Muirfield Village, New Albany Country Club Communities, Tartan Fields, Wedgewood, and Worthington Hills, this unique event brought together families across Central Ohio to support Pelotonia Kids and their mission to fund groundbreaking cancer research. Every dollar raised by participants directly supports pediatric cancer innovation at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, thanks to Pelotonia’s 100% donation model in partnership with The OSUCCC – James.

The event was designed to make riders of all levels feel welcome. With family-friendly routes and longer loops, kids of all ages and abilities found a way to join in—each ride fueled by purpose.

This event isn’t just about bikes. It’s about building a generation of compassionate, community-driven kids. It’s about reminding families that they’re not alone in the fight against cancer. And it’s about proving that even small feet on pedals can make a giant impact.

With such an incredible start, Stroll for Life plans to return even bigger and better next year. Thank you to every rider, donor, volunteer, and cheering supporter—you helped turn a Saturday morning into a movement of hope.
