# Oil change near ZIP 89512: University and North Reno, Mae Anne Avenue in 10 minutes

★★★★★ 4.6 stars from 209 Google reviews

89512 is the University of Nevada, Reno ZIP. It stretches from the campus and North Virginia Street east through Panther Valley and the neighborhoods off Oddie Boulevard and Sutro Street. It is the youngest ZIP on our list, with a lot of students, a lot of renters and a lot of cars that came from somewhere else.

## New to Nevada? Start with the registration

If you moved here with your car, Nevada registration usually comes with a smog check. The DMV emission page puts Reno in the Washoe County testing area; gasoline vehicles past their third registration are tested every year at renewal, and a passing test is good for 90 days. Our [moving to Nevada checklist](https://xpressoilandlube.com/guides/moving-to-nevada-car-checklist/) walks through the order: insurance, smog, then the DMV.

Both Reno service centers run the test and send the result to the DMV electronically.

## How 89512 gets to Mae Anne

From campus, go north on Virginia Street or Sierra Street to McCarran Boulevard and follow McCarran west to Mae Anne Avenue. From Panther Valley and the Sutro side, McCarran is the whole route. OSRM gives about 10 minutes. If you are heading south toward the airport or Meadowood, Longley Lane is about 13 minutes by I-580 and the Mill Street exit.

## The numbers behind the ZIP

The Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 estimates count 28,030 residents and 11,442 households in ZCTA 89512, a median age of 32.8 and a median household income of $47,807 per the ACS. Households average 1.5 vehicles; 42.8 percent have two or more. The mean commute is 20.0 minutes, with 68.9 percent driving alone.

One car per household, driven by more than one person and used for everything, is common here. A car like that needs its oil on time more than most, and the multi-point check at Mae Anne is a cheap way to catch a low coolant level or a worn wiper before a winter drive home over Donner Pass.

## When the bay is open

Mae Anne is open weekdays 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to 4. Longley Lane keeps the same weekday hours and closes at 3 on Saturday. Both are closed Sunday. Check the [coupons page](https://xpressoilandlube.com/coupons/) before you drive over.

## Questions people ask

Still have a question? Call your service center or drive in; there is no appointment to make.

### Which service center is closest to UNR?

Mae Anne Avenue, about 10 minutes by OSRM routing. Longley Lane is about 13.

### My car still has California plates. Can you smog it?

We run the Nevada test for Nevada registration. California registration needs a California test, which we do not perform.

### Is synthetic oil worth it for a car that only does short trips?

Use the grade your owner's manual specifies. Many newer cars require synthetic, and short trips are the case where the manual's severe-service interval usually applies.

### Do you take walk-ins?

Every visit is a drive-in. No appointment is needed.
