Roads and Junctions We Know Around JAN Airport
Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, known by its code JAN, sits just east of the Pearl River in Rankin County, a short drive from downtown Jackson on I-20. Airport Road connects the terminal to I-20 on the south and to Lakeland Drive on the north, International Drive loops past the parking lots, and the hotels, gas stations and restaurants near the interstate serve travelers coming and going. Flowood and Pearl sit on either side.
The spots locals know best are the I-20 ramps near Pearl, the airport entrance where pick-up traffic backs up at the evening arrivals, and the Lakeland Drive end of Airport Road toward Flowood. A car that overheats in traffic on I-20 or loses a tire on the way to catch a flight is a common call, and so is a car that sat in the sun for a week while its owner was away.
The Airport and Nearby Hotels
JAN is the main airport for central Mississippi, with flights to the big hubs every day, and its parking garage and surface lots fill with cars left by travelers for days at a time. Hotels, rental car lots and restaurants along the interstate in Pearl and Flowood serve visitors, business travelers and airline crews, and the shopping along Lakeland Drive in Flowood is a short drive north.
Tell us the lot, the level or the row when you call, and check what the airport or the hotel allows. Short jobs like a battery, a jump or a tire are often done right in the space, and for anything bigger the mechanic can meet you at a nearby lot where there is room to work.
Weather and Your Car Near JAN Airport
A car left in an open lot for a week in July comes back to a battery that has been cooking through long runs of humid days in the 90s, and that is when a weak battery finally gives up. The heat also dries out belts, hoses and wiper blades, and tires lose pressure as they sit. In winter, a cold snap during a long trip often brings the same no-start call.
Heavy thunderstorms roll across the open ground around the airport and the river bottom, and low spots near the Pearl River take water quickly. If the engine stalls in high water, do not keep cranking it. Spring storms bring hail too, and cars parked in open lots take the worst of it, so the mechanic checks the windshield and the condenser after one passes.
Common Car Problems We Fix Near JAN Airport
Airport calls are mostly cars that will not start after a trip, batteries and starters, flat or low tires after sitting, check engine lights that came on during the drive in, A/C that quits on a hot afternoon and overheating on I-20.

The mechanic carries the common parts and fixes most of these in the lot, so you can get on the road or get to your flight.

JAN Airport Car Repair Questions
My car will not start after a trip. Can you come to airport parking?
Yes. Tell us the lot, the level or the row, and the mechanic tests the battery and the starter and gets the car running in the space if the airport allows it.
Can you fix my car before my flight?
Tell us your flight time when you call. Short jobs like a battery or a tire are often quick, and the mechanic tells you straight away if a job will take longer.
Do you work in hotel parking lots?
Yes, as long as the hotel allows it and there is room around the car. Tell us the hotel and where the car is parked.
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.
Why are my tires low after a week away?
Tires lose some pressure as they sit, and swings between hot and cool weather make it worse. The mechanic checks each tire, fills them and looks for a slow leak or a nail.
