Roads and Junctions on the Southside
The Southside is the fastest growing part of the city, spreading south of Saratoga Boulevard toward Oso Creek. Yorktown Boulevard and Rodd Field Road are its main roads, Airline Road and Staples Street carry traffic north to South Padre Island Drive, and the Crosstown Expressway runs from Saratoga Boulevard back toward downtown.
Traffic on Saratoga, Staples, Yorktown and Rodd Field gets heavy at peak hours, and construction is common as new roads catch up with new homes. Yorktown Boulevard has lanes closed between Rodd Field Road and the Oso Creek bridge for its rebuild, so tell us the subdivision and the nearest cross street when you call.
Landmarks and Places on the Southside
Del Mar College’s Oso Creek Campus sits on 96 acres at Yorktown Boulevard and Rodd Field Road, and new schools, churches, clinics and shopping centers keep opening along the main roads. Much of the area is newer subdivisions with family homes, wide driveways and young landscaping, with open land still waiting to be built on toward the creek.
Driveways are the usual place to work here. Apartment lots and the campus lots also work, as long as the property allows it. Tell us the gate code if your subdivision has one, so the mechanic is not left waiting outside.
Weather and Your Car on the Southside
Newer streets with young trees give very little shade, so cars on the Southside sit in full sun all day through the long, humid summer. That heat is the main reason batteries here give out after three or four years, and it dries wiper blades and belts quickly. The steady Gulf wind blows dust and sand off the open lots and building sites into air filters, cabin filters and cowl drains.
Building sites leave nails, screws and sharp debris on the roads, and flat tires are one of the most common calls out here. Summer downpours and tropical storms can flood low streets and the drainage ditches near Oso Creek. Never drive through water across the road, and if the car stalled in it, do not keep trying to start it.
Common Car Problems We Fix on the Southside
Southside calls are often flat tires from construction debris, batteries baked in the sun, dirty air and cabin filters, brakes worn by the stop and go on Saratoga Boulevard and Yorktown Boulevard, A/C repairs and routine maintenance on commuter cars and family SUVs. The mechanic brings a scan tool and the common parts, so most of these are finished in one visit.
New Homeowners, Students and Commuters
Families who just moved into a new subdivision, students and staff at the Oso Creek Campus, contractors working on the building sites and commuters who drive the Crosstown into town every day all call for help on the Southside. A visit at home saves the long drive to a shop across the city. Each one ends with a plain explanation and the price agreed before any work starts.

the Southside Car Repair Questions
Do you come to the new subdivisions off Yorktown Boulevard?
Yes. Give us the address and any gate code when you call, and the mechanic comes to the driveway.
I keep getting flat tires. Why?
Building sites leave nails and screws on the roads out here. The mechanic repairs or replaces the tire and checks the others for damage.
Can you work on my car at the Oso Creek Campus?
Usually yes, if the campus allows it. Tell us the lot and the row, and the mechanic will find the car.
How often should I change my cabin filter out here?
Dust from the building sites loads it quickly. Once a year is a good start, and sooner if the air from the vents feels weak or smells musty.
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.
