Just Moved to Irvine
 

Hello all :thumbup:

Just moved to Irvine last saturday from the Bay Area. Up North I had my house, which I sold, and now am living in a condo. Since I no longer have my house I don't have a place to change my oil, HOA rules prohibit working on your car.

For you guys that do not have access to a garage where do you go for your oil change? Evasive Motorsports? CSG? I have a fumoto valve on my car and want to make sure that whomever changes my oil doesn't take it off. I've never had anyone change the oil on any car I've owned so this will be a new experience for me.


Thanks!

Welcome to SoCal! I'm sure you can always make friends and ask them if you can use their driveway / garages. Otherwise I would recommend Evasive.

Welcome. My HOA says the same….I just do all my work with the garage door down….shhhhhhhh….don't tell anyone :bonk::bonk::bonk:

welcome to socal, irvines a nice quiet place :P

Welcome to Irvine!

@Corner3garage is closest to you if you're in irvine. They're just 1 exit south of the 5/405 merge.

Welcome! Be sure you stop the by frs/brz meet at the diamond jamboree plaza on Tuesday nights! Jason and Glen are always great hosts.

Thanks for the info guys. I will check out Corner3garage and the Irvine meet next week.

Irvine has so many BRZ and Fr-s, I never saw so many up north.

welcome to Irvine and southern california

Welcome man!

Welcome!

welcome to socal man, Corner3Garage is pretty good they are right off lake forest drive by best buy

Did you move into a property that Irvine company manages? I'm currently looking for a place to move, too, and have been looking into some rental properties that way as well. I didn't know that HOA prohibited working cars... maybe I need to start looking else where.

Surprisingly the Irvine Company doesn't manage this property. It seems like the Irvine Company manages all the properties in the area. I looked at 6 different places and all of them were managed by the Irvine Company except for this one.

I don't know many HOAs that allow people to work on their cars. All my friends up north that had an HOA, and even when I was living in an apartment up there, were prohibited from working on their cars per the HOA rules unless it was an emergency. I would love to find a place that allows one to work on their car but I'm hoping to buy another place next year so I don't have to deal with HOA.

Best of luck.
