Roads and Junctions We Know in Davis Shores
Davis Shores covers the north end of Anastasia Island, just across the Bridge of Lions from downtown. Anastasia Boulevard, which is A1A, runs east from the bridge past the Alligator Farm, and the neighborhood spreads north from it in a grid of homes toward Salt Run and the lighthouse. Arredondo Avenue is one of the main streets through the homes.
The spots locals know best are the backup at the foot of the Bridge of Lions when it opens for boats, the busy turn at Red Cox Drive for the lighthouse, and the summer traffic on Anastasia Boulevard heading to the beaches. Because the bridge is the quickest way to downtown, a delay there slows the whole neighborhood.
Landmarks and Things to Do in Davis Shores
The St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum stands near the north end of the island, and the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, one of the oldest attractions in Florida, sits on Anastasia Boulevard. Salt Run and the marsh along the river side are popular for paddling and fishing, and downtown is only a few minutes away across the bridge.
Most Davis Shores homes have their own driveways or carports, and the streets are quiet, so the mechanic can usually work right at the house. Tell us the address and where the car is parked, and we bring the parts we expect the job to need.
Weather and Your Car in Davis Shores
Davis Shores is low, flat and close to water on three sides, so it is one of the first places in St Augustine to see flooding. King tides in the fall, nor’easters and the big hurricanes of recent years have all put water across the streets here, and water that reaches the underside of a car leaves salt behind in the brakes, the exhaust and the wiring.
Salt air off the ocean and the river is part of every day, so rust and corrosion show up early on cars parked outside. The summer heat and humidity are hard on batteries and A/C systems as well. Moving the car to higher ground before a big tide or storm, and rinsing it with fresh water afterward, saves a lot of repairs.
Common Car Problems We Fix in Davis Shores
Rusty brakes and sticking calipers, corroded battery terminals, weak batteries after a hot summer, A/C repairs, wiring faults after high water and check engine lights are the calls we get most in Davis Shores. Cars that sat through a storm often need a full check before they go back on the road.
Families, Retirees and Boat Owners
Families, retirees, seasonal residents and boat owners make up much of Davis Shores, along with lighthouse and Alligator Farm staff. Many households have a car that is used only now and then, and those cars need batteries and brakes looked at more often in this salty air. The mechanic comes to the driveway, so nobody has to cross the bridge to a shop.

Davis Shores Car Repair Questions
My car was in flood water. Is it safe to drive?
Do not start it until it has been checked. The mechanic looks at the oil, the air intake, the brakes and the wiring before the engine is run.
How often should brakes be checked near the water?
At least once a year, and after any time the car sat in salt water, because salt rusts rotors and caliper slides quickly.
Can you work in my carport?
Yes. Most repairs are done in a carport or driveway, and the mechanic leaves the space clean.
Do you come across the bridge when it is busy?
Yes. We plan around the bridge openings and summer traffic and tell you when to expect the mechanic.
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.
