Recycle your Used Motor Oil for Free
Used motor oil can contain contaminants such as lead, chromium, arsenic and other materials that can be harmful to the environment. Used motor oil washed into storm drains pollutes the Santa Clara River, which accounts for half of the City of Santa Clarita's drinking water supply. One gallon of used oil can damage approximately one million gallons of drinking water. Used motor oil and filters in cars, motorcycles or RV's do not belong in your regular trash cart or recycling containers either. Recycle it! Used oil and filters can be re-refined or processed and reused. Drain used motor oil into a clean container with no residual materials and take it to one of over 20 certified collection centers located in Santa Clarita. These centers will recycle your used motor oil and filters for free. Please visit greensantaclarita.com to find a collection center near you today and to reserve a free oil change kit for pick up at City Hall, while supplies last. Santa Clarita makes recycling easy!

The California Law that Impacts your Auto Repair After an Accident
Did you know that under California law, your insurer cannot require you to use one of their preferred shops? Instead of being assigned a discount auto-body shop that uses refurbished parts, you can choose a company that never compromises on materials, craftsmanship and service. "Our team advocates for our clients' safety and their vehicle's full restoration, using only parts and procedures approved by their vehicle manufacturer - with no additional out-of-pocket expenses beyond their insurance deductible, if applicable," says Luxury Collision Group owner Joseph Baghdadlian. SCV owned and operated, the LCG team makes the repair process simple by working directly with your insurance company and guiding you through every step for a smooth, stress-free path back to "normal." The Valencia-based company offers a range of collision repair and bodywork services designed for discerning clients - no matter the make, model or year of their vehicle. Built with decades of expertise, their approach delivers a flawless, showroom-quality result where every detail is restored to meet or exceed factory standards.
