Landmarks and Things to Do in Avondale and Forest Park
Avondale Park, one of the oldest parks in the city, has a small amphitheater, a pond and the stone villa at its upper end. The blocks along 41st Street South are full of breweries, restaurants and music halls, and on a weekend night the street parking fills quickly. Forest Park is a quieter mix of older homes, tall trees and small shops gathered along Clairmont Avenue.
Parking in Avondale is mostly on the street and in small lots behind the businesses, while Forest Park homes have short driveways or street parking. The mechanic can work at the curb, in a driveway or in the lot behind your building. Tell us the address and where the car is parked.
Weather and Your Car in Avondale and Forest Park
Avondale sits low, and heavy rain runs off the slopes of Forest Park and Red Mountain toward the flat streets near the park. A summer downpour can leave standing water at the low corners on Fifth Avenue South and around the old rail line, and driving through it soaks wiring and pulls water toward the air intake. Forest Park has the same old tree cover as Highland Park, so pollen, leaves and seed pods block drains and fill cabin filters.
Summer heat bakes cars parked on open lots and side streets, wearing down batteries and drying out wiper blades, belts and hoses. The climb up Clairmont Avenue and the side streets of Forest Park works the brakes and the cooling system, and an old car that runs hot on the hill is telling you something.

Avondale and Forest Park Car Repair Questions
Can you come to a car parked on 41st Street at night?
Yes. Tell us where the car is and what it is doing. The mechanic will work safely at the curb or ask you to move the car to a nearby lot if the street is too busy.
My car went through deep water on Fifth Avenue South. Is it safe to drive?
Check before you drive it far. Water can get into the brakes, the wiring and the air intake. The mechanic can check it where it is parked.
Can you look at two cars in one visit?
Yes. Tell us about both cars when you call so the mechanic brings what is needed for each.
Why do my wiper blades streak so quickly?
Summer sun hardens the rubber, and pollen and sap from the trees in Forest Park smear the glass. The mechanic replaces the blades and cleans the windshield.

Yes. Avondale, Forest Park, the streets along 41st Street South and Clairmont Avenue, and the neighborhoods east toward Crestwood are all covered.
