Pie de la Popa and Chambacú
Pie de la Popa lives right next to Avenida Pedro de Heredia, and that defines everything: a car heading out to a shop gets stuck in the Bazurto traffic jam both ways. We come in through the inner streets, reach your house or your building's parking lot and work there. From Marbella it's 10 to 15 minutes, approximately, depending on traffic.
Chambacú, with its new towers between the Castillo de San Felipe and the Puente Heredia, works differently: big basements, a front gate and visitor sign-in. We handle both cases the same way. The mobile oil change starts at COP $180,000 with synthetic oil and filter.

In the houses of Pie de la Popa the work is done in the garage or the driveway, over the drain pan. In the Chambacú towers you let the front gate know, the technician checks in with his ID and the van's plate and uses your parking space or a visitor space; if the building management asks for written authorization from the resident, we tell you what to put.
An oil change takes 30 to 45 minutes. If the car has gone a while without a preventive check, we do it in the same visit: fluids, air and cabin filters, belts and hoses. We always tell you what we found before replacing anything.
A car that does Pedro de Heredia twice a day spends hours with the engine running without moving. The odometer says 8,000 kilometers, but the oil has worked as if it were many more, at low speed and with a hot engine. That's why here it's best to change it by time and not wait for the figure in the manual.
The other thing is the dust from Bazurto and the avenue under construction: the air filter clogs, the engine breathes worse and burns more fuel. And the battery suffers from all the stopping and starting, especially if the car has the A/C on full blast in traffic. Check the pico y placa: the day the car can't go out is the best day for the service.
All of Pie de la Popa, from the foot of the hill and the Convento de la Popa to Avenida Pedro de Heredia; the area around Centro Comercial Caribe Plaza; all of Chambacú, between the Castillo de San Felipe, the Puente Heredia and the Puente de Las Palmas; and the surroundings of Bazurto.
If you work at Caribe Plaza or in the offices in the area and the car stays in the parking lot, tell us which one and we coordinate with the attendant. Before writing, you can see which oil your car needs by model and year.
Yes. You let the front gate know, the technician checks in with his ID and the van's plate and works in your space or a visitor space over a drain pan. If the building management asks for written authorization from the resident, we tell you what to put.
More often than the mileage suggests. In traffic the engine runs for hours without moving and the oil ages even though the odometer barely moves. Write to us with the model and how you use the car and we'll suggest a reasonable interval.
