Default Oil Change in 626/323/909 Area

So i'm having a really hard time finding a place that can do oil changes for really low cars.. i cant even get my car up my driveway because its just too low and i hate bugging my friends to borrow their driveways all the time for oil changes.. anyone know a place in the san gabriel valley or los angeles area that can do oil changes without lifting my car, ramps that will clear my front bumper, or places that would jack my car up in 4 different spots just for an oil change ?

it wont clear front ramps or side lifts.. has to be a pit

Don't go to West Covina unless you like oil all over your engine bay.

LOL

I know Precision Z in Canoga Park is lower friendly, but you seem REALLY low so I'm not sure. My car is lowered too (not as much as yours though) and they've never scraped it while putting it up on the rack.

I was thinking the same thing, I think he looks too low for Precision.

Fontana is a great option though, I saw their racks in person.

Nice! the z's looking fresh, the only thing it's missing is a FMIC to fill in that gap. Oh and you can always try a quick lube joint where they have in ground bays.

I'm looking for a place that offers an underground pit preferrably if anyone knows of one in the san gabriel valley or orange county that allows me to bring my own oil and filter and just does the labor if anyone can make suggestions. Thanks.
