Roads and Junctions We Know in Downtown Concord
Union Street is the spine of downtown Concord, running north and south past the shops, the restaurants and the old courthouse. Church Street runs parallel to the east and carries traffic up toward Atrium Health Cabarrus, while Cabarrus Avenue, Corban Avenue and Depot Street cross the center from east to west. The corners locals know best are Union Street at Cabarrus Avenue in the middle of town, Union Street at Corban Avenue at the south end of the shopping blocks and Church Street at Corban Avenue.
Concord Parkway, which is U.S. 29, runs along the west side of the city, and Warren C. Coleman Boulevard, which is U.S. 601, swings around the south and east. Most drivers reach I-85 by way of Concord Parkway or Cabarrus Avenue. Downtown traffic is slow and full of short trips, stop signs and lights, and that kind of driving is hard on batteries that never get a full charge and on brakes that are always working.
Landmarks and Things to Do in Downtown Concord
The Historic Cabarrus County Courthouse, with its tall clock tower, still anchors Union Street, and the blocks around it hold local restaurants, coffee shops, antique stores and the Old Courthouse Theatre. North Union Street is lined with large Victorian and early 1900s homes in the historic district, and Memorial Garden, beside First Presbyterian Church, is a quiet walk a block off Union Street. Downtown also hosts a farmers market, seasonal festivals and holiday events that fill the streets with visitors.
Parking downtown is mostly free street spaces and public lots behind the Union Street storefronts. Tell us the street and the nearest business, or the lot and the row, and the mechanic will find the car. In the historic district many homes have narrow driveways or park on the street, which works fine for most repairs.
Weather and Your Car in Downtown Concord
Concord summers are hot and sticky, and a car parked on open asphalt all afternoon can be too hot to touch. Heat is what wears batteries out, so the first cold morning in the fall is often when a weak battery finally gives up. Summer thunderstorms drop heavy rain fast, and low spots on the side streets hold water after a storm.
The big oaks and maples in the historic district drop leaves every fall, and those leaves pack into cowl drains and sunroof drains, which can leave damp carpets and a musty smell from the A/C. Spring brings a thick coat of yellow pine pollen that loads cabin filters, and winter can bring freezing rain and ice that make an older car hard to start and put wipers and defrosters to the test.
Common Car Problems We Fix Near Downtown Concord
Downtown calls are mostly cars that will not start after sitting, weak batteries from short trips, check engine lights, brakes that squeal or grind, starters, alternators and A/C that blows warm in July. Older cars kept for years in the historic district need belts, hoses, thermostats and cooling system work, and we handle oil changes and tune ups in the driveway as well.
Hospital Shifts, Shop Owners and Weekend Visitors
Many people who work downtown or at Atrium Health Cabarrus spend long shifts away from the car, and a car that will not start at the end of a twelve hour shift is the worst time to wait for a tow. The mechanic can meet the car in the lot during the shift, so it is ready when you are. Shop and restaurant owners on Union Street can have routine service done behind the store while they work, and visitors in town for a festival or a show can call from the street where they parked.
