Santa Cruz Oil Change

 

A simple Santa Cruz oil change can keep your engine running smoothly and prolong the lifespan of your vehicle. Frequent oil changes also help protect your engine from rust, wear, and corrosion.

 

If you drive in severe driving conditions like stop and go traffic, extreme weather, short trips, towing heavy loads, coastal or mountain driving, you should adjust oil change frequency. 

 

Water Star Motors performs full services (not the quick-lube style) Minimal time is an hour because we do bumper-to-bumper inspections i.e. Courtesy Checklists along with your oil/ filter maintenance services. We will outline for you any findings we have in order of importance.

Water Star Motors Oil Change in Santa Cruz

 

The expert ASE-Certified automotive technicians at Water Star Motors have been AAA certified for many years in Santa Cruz. Automobiles keep changing, and we keep gaining experience and continually update our knowledge and skills with the most current training. 

 

This keeps us service-ready as vehicle technology and associated service procedures evolve. 

 

From preventive maintenance, such as oil change service, to more complex auto repair, Water Star Motors delivers outstanding vehicle care to Santa Cruz area motorists, backed by a nationwide 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

 

As the first California Green Certified auto repair business in the Santa Cruz area, Water Star Motors understands the value that doing things the right way and the effect it has on our customers vehicles and the environment. 

 

For instance, we’re conscientious about the harm that discarding used oil filters filled with dirty oil or single use containers with residual new oil or new coolant can do to the environment when dumped into landfills. 

 

That’s why we educate our customers about how their choice of oils, filters, and how services are provided have a direct impact on engine performance, durability, safety and our environment. 

 

Improper or incomplete oil changes — such as using poor quality lubricants or parts that don’t meet vehicle manufacturer specs —invite unnecessary stresses and excessive wear to negatively impact vehicle engines and other related components.

 

Our auto technicians know oil change service, and when your vehicle requires a specific make and viscosity of oil, they deliver the quality and quantity needed, without compromise. Check out this recent 5-Star from a customer:

 

“I have now been bringing my VW Beetle to Water Star Motors for two years, for a range of services; I have not had a single regret. I've had major service, a battery replacement, a window motor replacement, headlight replacement, and bi-annual oil change/minor service. Each visit gets me personal attention, a quick check-in and check-out, and genuine human interaction. I feel like I hit the local mechanic jackpot. My husband is so impressed that the other day, after a particularly friendly pickup, he said that when the dealer service expires on his car, he hopes they can service it as well. They are communicative, honest, and no question feels too stupid or silly. I never imagined I'd actually feel "good" about the place I take my car to get work.” -- Farnaz F.

 

Most car owners think that a car dealership is the only repair shop that can offer excellent service.
