Weather and Your Car Around South Congress
Travis Heights has some of the biggest live oaks and pecan trees in south Austin, and they shade the streets well, but they also drop leaves, pollen and sap. That debris collects in the cowl drains below the windshield, and a blocked drain sends rain into the cabin, so damp carpets and a musty smell are common calls here. Pecan sap and bird droppings on cars parked under trees all summer are hard on paint and wipers too.
Blunn Creek and the low streets near it take water fast in a heavy storm, and the hills here make a weak battery or worn brakes show up quickly. Cars that live on the street sit in full sun for part of the day, which wears out batteries, wiper rubber and dashboards early.

The neighborhood has plenty of classic and older cars, and the mechanic is happy to work on them in the driveway or at the curb.
