Three Carriage Town stops worth visiting while your car is with us
A factory archive, a National Historic Landmark and a stadium sit inside or beside the historic district, so a stroll through the neighborhood can fill the wait. Each stop below has its own page, so you can check what is open before you go.
A restored factory for anyone who wants to see where Flint’s carriage and auto story took shape. The building at 303 West Water Street began as a cotton textile mill in 1880, housed the Durant-Dort Carriage Factory from 1886 and now holds Kettering University’s automotive archive.
Durant-Dort Carriage Company Office
A historic office for anyone curious about how General Motors began. The three-story red-brick building at 316 West Water Street went up in 1895 and 1896, and it earned National Historic Landmark status in 1978.
A stadium for a football game, a soccer match or a summer concert. Kettering University owns it, the field has a FieldTurf surface, and the Vehicle City Gridiron Classic opens the high school football season there.
Does stop-and-go traffic near Atwood Stadium wear out my brakes?
Stop-and-go traffic before and after a game or concert means a lot of braking, and that wears pads and rotors faster than open-road miles do. Atwood Stadium hosts football, soccer and summer events, and any crowd turns a short drive into a slow one.
In our shop, we often see a squeal or a pulsing pedal that started weeks before the driver called. Our brake repair service measures the pads, rotors and fluid, and the photos show you each reading before you approve a repair.

Why does my car stall or hesitate on cold Carriage Town mornings?
Cold weather exposes a weak battery, a worn spark plug or a failing sensor, and any of them can cause a hard start or a stumble when you pull away. A flashing check engine light points to a misfire, so ease off the gas and have it checked soon.
For dim lights or a slow crank, our auto electrical repair team tests the battery, alternator and wiring. If the cause is deeper, our engine repair technicians take over, and a free loaner vehicle can keep you moving.
Does my car need ADAS calibration after a windshield or alignment job?
Many newer cars use cameras and radar for lane alerts and automatic braking, and those sensors must be re-aimed after a windshield replacement, a bumper repair or suspension work. A warning light on the dash after a recent repair is a good reason to ask.
Our ADAS calibration service resets those sensors so the system reads the road correctly again. We often see this after a wheel alignment, since a change in the angles can shift what the camera sees.
