Roads and Junctions We Know in Old Town
Old Town sits on the east side of downtown Wichita, a grid of brick warehouse streets between Washington Street, Mosley Street and the rail tracks, with Douglas Avenue and 1st and 2nd Streets running east and west through it. Most drivers come in from Kellogg Avenue at the Washington Street exit, from I-135 at First and Second Streets, or along Douglas Avenue from College Hill and Delano.
The spots locals know best are the backup on Waterman Street and Emporia Street when an event lets out at the arena, the line for the garages on a busy Friday night, and the trains that hold up traffic on the crossings at the edge of Old Town. Many side streets are narrow and a few still carry their original brick, so a stalled car can block a lane quickly.
Landmarks and Things to Do in Old Town
Old Town is the restaurant and nightlife district of the city, with dozens of places to eat in the old warehouses, the Old Town Farm and Art Market on Saturday mornings, the Museum of World Treasures and the Old Town Cinema. INTRUST Bank Arena holds concerts and games a few blocks south, and Century II and the riverfront are a short drive west along Douglas Avenue.
Parking is a mix of public garages, paid lots and street spaces, and the arena lots fill on event nights. Tell us the garage and level, the lot or the block and cross street when you call. If the car is in a tight garage space, the mechanic plans the visit around it so the work can be done safely.
Weather and Your Car in Old Town
Wichita summers bring long runs of days in the 90s and the odd afternoon past 100, and a car parked all evening on a hot downtown lot heats up fast. Batteries give out early in that heat and A/C systems work their hardest in stop and go traffic on Douglas Avenue. Spring brings hail and severe storms that can drop heavy rain on the low streets near the tracks in minutes.
Winter is the other half of it. Ice storms and snow coat the brick streets, road salt and brine from Kellogg Avenue end up under every car, and a weak battery often fails on the first cold night after a late dinner. If a street ahead is under water after a storm, turn around rather than driving through it.
Common Car Problems We Fix in Old Town
No-starts in a garage or an arena lot after an event, weak batteries in cars that sat all evening, A/C that blows warm in summer traffic, brakes worn by city driving, check engine lights and flat tires from curbs and potholes are the calls we get most.

Old Town Car Repair Questions
Can you fix my car in an Old Town parking garage?
Yes, as long as the garage allows the work. Tell us the level and the space, and the mechanic works there while you get on with your evening.
My car will not start after a concert at the arena. Can you come out?
Yes. The mechanic tests the battery and the starter and fixes most no-starts in the lot, so you are not stuck waiting for a tow.
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.
