Roads and Junctions We Know in Riverside
Riverside is the older neighborhood north of Delano, wrapped around the bends of the Little Arkansas River between Amidon Avenue, 13th Street North and the river. Nims Street, Bitting Avenue and Woodland Avenue run through it, and Murdock Avenue and 13th Street carry most of the traffic across the river toward downtown and the North End. I-235 runs along the west side.
The spots locals know best are the narrow bridges over the Little Arkansas River, the busy stretch of 13th Street at Amidon Avenue in the morning, and the slow traffic around the parks and museums on a sunny weekend.
Landmarks and Things to Do in Riverside
Riverside Park runs along the river with its trails, playgrounds and tennis courts, and Botanica, the city botanical gardens, sits on Amidon Avenue. The Wichita Art Museum and the Mid-America All-Indian Museum are close by, and the Keeper of the Plains stands where the two rivers meet at the south end of the neighborhood.
Most cars here are parked in driveways, on the street under the big trees or in the lots by the parks and museums. Tell us the address or the lot when you call, and the mechanic works right there.
Weather and Your Car in Riverside
The big elms, oaks and cottonwoods that shade Riverside drop leaves, seeds and fluff on every car parked under them, and that debris clogs cowl drains, cabin filters and A/C condensers. A blocked cowl drain lets rain from a spring storm into the cabin, which leads to wet carpets, musty smells and electrical faults under the dash.
Low streets near the river can take water after heavy rain, and hail moves through in spring. Winter brings cold mornings that expose weak batteries and freeze and thaw that opens potholes on the older streets, while road salt from the main roads works its way under every car.
Common Car Problems We Fix in Riverside
Weak batteries, wet carpets and musty smells from blocked drains, brakes, A/C repairs, check engine lights and older cars that need steady upkeep are the calls we get most. Cars that are driven only now and then often need a battery or a brake check after sitting.

Riverside Car Repair Questions
Why are my carpets wet after it rains?
Leaves and seeds often block the cowl drains below the windshield, so rain runs into the cabin. Clearing the drains usually fixes it.
Can you fix a musty smell from my A/C?
Yes. A new cabin filter and an evaporator cleaning usually clear it, and the mechanic checks the drains too.
Can you work on my car if it is parked on the street?
Yes. Most repairs are done at the curb, with cones set out and the lane kept clear.
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 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.
