Oil change near ZIP 89706: North Carson City and Mound House, College Parkway in 3 minutes

89706 is the north side of Carson City: the College Parkway corridor around Western Nevada College, the Carson airport, Lakeview on the hill above I-580, the neighborhoods north of Arrowhead Drive, and Mound House out US-50 toward Dayton. The service center is in the middle of it, so for most people here an oil change is a detour of a few blocks.

Getting to College Parkway

From I-580 or US-50, take the College Parkway exit and go west; the service center is on the parkway before North Carson Street. From Lakeview, come down to Carson Street and turn east on College Parkway. Mound House drivers come in on US-50 west, about 8 minutes. OSRM puts the middle of 89706 at 3 minutes.

No smog check for Carson City registration

Carson City is not an emissions testing area. The Nevada DMV emission page lists only the urban parts of Washoe and Clark counties, so a vehicle registered at a Carson City or Mound House address renews without a smog check.

If your car is registered at a Reno or Sparks address, the test does apply, and our Reno service centers run it. Longley Lane is about 29 minutes north on I-580.

Carson's cold nights and dry summers

That spread is hard on batteries in January and on coolant in July. Every oil change at College Parkway includes the multi-point check, and we tell you what we found before anything else happens.
