Oil change in King City
Oil and filter change labor is $40. The oil and filter are quoted separately at real prices. In and out with a real inspection included, from the same mechanics who do engines all day, not an upsell script.
What’s included
Oil and filter with the grade your manufacturer specifies, fluid top-offs, a visual inspection of belts, hoses, brakes and tires, and a reminder sticker. If we spot something, we tell you what it is and whether it can wait. Nothing gets “recommended” that your car doesn’t need.
Walk-ins welcome
No appointment needed. Monday to Friday 8–5, Saturday 8–4 (we close for lunch 1–2). Wait time depends on shop load; call (831) 387-7181 and we’ll tell you straight how the day looks.

No, walk-ins are welcome. Wait time depends on how busy the shop is; call ahead and we’ll give you a straight answer about timing.
Most modern cars on synthetic oil go 5,000–7,500 miles between changes. Your owner’s manual has the exact interval. We follow it, not a sticker template.
