What We See From District Heights Drivers
A lot of District Heights driving runs along Marlboro Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue, with heavy commuter traffic toward DC in the morning and back in the evening. That is exactly the pattern that wears brakes and strains cooling systems in summer.
We see a steady stream of brake work, A/C complaints and transmission service from this area, along with the alignment work that comes with rough pavement on the side streets.
