Roads and Junctions We Know in Five Points
Five Points takes its name from the junction northeast of downtown where Pratt Avenue, Holmes Avenue and two smaller streets come together. Pratt Avenue runs west to downtown and Memorial Parkway, Holmes Avenue runs east toward Monte Sano, and Oakwood Avenue and Maysville Road carry traffic north. Most drivers come in from Memorial Parkway at Pratt Avenue or Oakwood Avenue, or along Pratt Avenue from the square.
The spots locals know best are the junction itself at rush hour, the backup on Pratt Avenue at Memorial Parkway, and the school traffic near Huntsville High and the neighborhood schools in the morning and afternoon. The side streets are narrow and lined with parked cars, so a stalled car can block one quickly.
Landmarks and Things to Do in Five Points
Five Points is one of the older neighborhoods in the city, with streets of bungalows and cottages from the early 1900s, small restaurants, coffee shops, a bakery and local stores clustered around the junction. Monte Sano rises to the east, with Burritt on the Mountain and Monte Sano State Park a short drive up Monte Sano Boulevard, and downtown and Big Spring Park are a few minutes west.
Parking is mostly in driveways, at the curb and in the small lots behind the shops at the junction. Tell us the street and house number, or the shop lot, when you call. The mechanic works in the driveway or at the curb without blocking the street.
Weather and Your Car in Five Points
Huntsville summers are long and humid, and older homes here often have no garage, so cars sit out in the sun all day. Batteries give out early in that heat, A/C systems work hard, and rubber hoses and belts dry out faster. Heavy summer thunderstorms dump water on the streets in minutes, and the low spots near the creeks north of Pratt Avenue fill first.
Spring brings thick pine and oak pollen that coats every car and fills filters, and strong storms that bring down limbs from the old trees. The odd icy winter morning is when a weak battery finally gives up, so a battery test in the fall saves a stuck morning later.
Common Car Problems We Fix in Five Points
Batteries and starters, A/C repairs, brakes, warning lights, belts and hoses on older cars, and oil changes in the driveway are the calls we get most. Cars parked under the big trees often need their cowl drains cleared and their cabin filters changed after the spring pollen.
Residents, Workers and Visitors
Homeowners and renters, families with school runs, people who work downtown or at the hospital, shop and restaurant staff at the junction and visitors heading up to Monte Sano all call us from Five Points. The mechanic comes to the car, so there is no need to arrange a ride or lose a morning at a shop.

Five Points Car Repair Questions
Can you work on my car in a Five Points driveway?
Yes. Most repairs, from batteries and brakes to A/C and warning lights, are done right in the driveway or at the curb.
Why does my car battery keep going flat in summer?
Heat under the hood wears a battery out from the inside. The mechanic tests the battery and the charging system and replaces only what has failed.
My car stalled in high water. What should I do?
Do not keep trying to start it. Water drawn into the engine can do real damage. Call us, and the mechanic checks the intake, oil and wiring first.
My car will not start on a cold morning. Can you help?
Yes. The mechanic tests the battery, the starter and the charging system, and most no-starts are fixed in the driveway or the lot.
My A/C blows warm in the summer heat. Can you fix it?
Yes. The mechanic checks the refrigerant charge, the compressor, the condenser and the fans, and fixes most faults where the car is parked.
