Torices, San Pedro and Daniel Lemaitre
Torices, San Pedro and Daniel Lemaitre are neighborhoods of houses with street-level garages, streets that climb toward the slopes of La Popa and neighbors who know each other. It's the easiest setting for the mobile service: the technician parks the van in front of your house, sets up the drain pan in the garage and in 30 to 45 minutes the car is ready.
From our base in Marbella, via Avenida Santander and Paseo Bolívar, it's 10 to 15 minutes, approximately, depending on traffic. The mobile oil change starts at COP $180,000 with synthetic oil and filter, travel included.

It's almost always in the garage or on the street in front of the house. The streets of San Pedro and Daniel Lemaitre are narrow and sloped: the van parks where it's not in the way and the technician carries oil, filter and tools on foot. On a slope we use a wheel chock and level the car before draining, so all the old oil comes out.
Here we serve a lot of working cars: taxis, rideshare cars, delivery vans that can't lose a day at a shop. For them the early morning slot is usually best, and if the car does more than 3,000 kilometers a month, we talk about a shorter change interval. Before writing, you can check which oil your car needs.
The ups and downs load the engine in first and second gear with the A/C on full blast: the oil runs hotter and degrades sooner. And the dust that comes down the hill with the breeze clogs the air filter, which here lasts less than the manual says.
The battery is the other frequent complaint: cars that stop and start all day, heat in the garage and terminals with salt crust, because Torices also gets the breeze from the Cabrero lagoon. If the car has already needed a push once, better check it before it leaves you stranded on a hill: check out mobile battery replacement.
All of Torices, from Paseo Bolívar and the shore of the Cabrero lagoon to the slopes of La Popa; all of San Pedro and Daniel Lemaitre; and the neighboring areas going down toward Avenida Pedro Romero.
If your street is hard for the van to get into, tell us and we find a nearby spot to work, or you bring the car to the Marbella location, which is minutes away. See prices for what the service includes and what's charged separately.
