Oil N’ Go

I have been going to Oil n’ Go for about a year for oil changes and inspections. They are super friendly, speedy and knowledgable. They also have a comfy waiting area with coffee while you wait. Lastly, but most importantly, they are seriously the only car place in VT I haven’t dealt with poor ethics, poor service and attitude for miles. They have never tried to up sell me or tell me there was an issue when there wasn’t. I recommend them to EVERYONE.

I have been a very happy customer of «Oil N. Go» for over 20 years. They have always been very decent to me and have always made me feel like a valued customer. I simply won’t go anywhere else for car care.

Price gouging going on here. Checked price for battery at Interstate Battery in Williston $ 114 and $ 10 to change. Called Oil N Go $ 117 – 123 and $ 40 to change a battery since they were closer. Yep, something ain’t right about that. Do yourself a favor and shop around before deciding. Unless you don’t mind paying more…

They provide quality service, but $ 40 plus shop fees for a basic oil change is pushing it too far. They are trustworthy and I’ll continue to use for larger maintenance like brakes, but for oil changes I’ll look elsewhere.

Been a number of times for inspections, oil changes, etc… I never feel like they are trying to get more from me, they are quick and courteous. Had a problem with some sort of clip coming off the bottom of my car today causing a piece to drag on the ground. Showed up, they put in 2 new clips, and charged me $ 5. Will be back again!

This place was great. They did not make any money off me during my visit yet they were still extremely friendly and professional. I will definitely be back with any car issues I may have. They understand that great customer service is a sound business investment.

I like the fact that Oil N’ Go is quick, clean, and seemingly has employees that I trust in my car more than somewhere like Jiffy lube. You will pay extra for it, a basic oil, lube, filter runs $ 49 after adding in fluids, ect. and goes up from there. I also was surprised to pay $ 150 for a new battery plus an additional $ 40 for installation.

I’ve been here twice and great service! My oil change & inspection were done quickly and Matt was extremely thorough and helpful in explaining maintenance and things to look for with my vehicle. Second trip I came in with a defroster/​heater not working, and Paula and Mike started with the simple thing — the blown fuse– which showed me they cared about me as the customer and weren’t out to fish for unnecessary work– leaving me becoming a loyal customer and happy to recommend to anyone looking for reliable service!

I really like the service in this place it’s one of the good good good experience I have with them it’s always professional specially the guy who always working my car his name Matt I will definitely recommend this place

My experience at oil n go in essex was great! They were very thorough. They were professional and courteous. I highly recommend them for ANY car service.

Oil N Go is my go-​to car care place.
Fast, friendly, helpful and just pleasant. No appointment needed!
They are a little on the pricey side, like the other reviewers said, but I don’t mind. Convenience, location and habit play a big part in that.

I thought this place was the place to go for all my automotive needs… man was I wrong. I had an oil change about a few months ago and that was no problem at all. When I went to get a state inspection, they told me that the only thing I needed to get changed/​repaired was my tires. I was a little strapped for cash at the time so I didn’t get the tires changed at that time. To me, my tires looked very good still. The treads on them weren’t worn at all, making me wonder why they asked me to have them changed. Fast forward 2 weeks later. My friend found a cheaper place to get my state inspection, and so I decided to get it checked there also (at no charge) to see if Oil N’ Go made any mistakes. The man actually lifted my jeep up right then and there and said he would do the inspection with me. Once underneath my car, we found a WHOLE WORLD of problems that Oil N’Go had never mentioned. First of all, the body underneath my jeep, on both the passenger and driver’s side was so rusted that upon touching, the metal would cave in. There were so many holes and gaps that the man told me that even if I were to get these holes patched up, I would not be able to pass inspection. He told me that my brake line was so severely rusted that it could snap at anytime that I hit my brakes, and could cause me to go crashing into the car in front of me. I was highly upset that Oil N’Go didn’t mention any of this at all. I honestly feel like this place is just out to get more money from you… I also had a starter changed not too long ago, and they charged me an extra $ 50 because they said it was «difficult» to get out. I’m definitely not coming back here again.

Got an oil change here today. In and out in under an hour. Decent food options nearby to help the wait. And the lobby has a flatscreen and some mags to kill time, in case you forgot your smartphone.
They’re a little pricey. $ 68 for a synthetic blend change is slightly steep, but the Saab dealership in S. Burlington quoted me $ 85 (astronomically high), so it’s better than that.
But I’d say it’s worth the price. They’re polite, fast, topped off all the fluids and can do a lot of other services outside of an oil change. And they don’t require advance reservations. I’ll go back.

Complete class act!
I recently had my winter tires put on at Oil n Go Essex (as I do each year) and unexplainably the right front tire went flat two days after install. This, however, was not detected by me until after I had driven briefly on the tire and subsequently ruined it. Again… unexplainably, the tire then went on to hold air, but due to the damage incurred earlier, was internally shot and was going to have to be replaced.
Jeff (Manager) handled this odd situation with extreme class! They bought me a new tire (which happened to be over $ 300.00) and mounted it for free! While we can’t be certain that Oil n Go was absolutely at fault for improper installation, we had no other logical explanation as to why the tire went flat (no nails, damage, hit potholes, etc.), and they did the right thing and assumed responsibility.
I am in the service business myself and really appreciate how this was handled. They have earned a customer for life!

Definitely one of the pricier options in the area but this is one of my favorite places to get my car serviced and routine maintenance. While they can do a lot here and are quite friendly, they unfortunately can’t do welds. I had to take my Civic to Monroe to get a piece welded on my exhaust. I don’t like having to make multiple stops when time is so limited as it is. All in all, I do love it, though, and have been a regular customer for about 6 years now.
Hot Tip: If you go on a Saturday, either go right when they open or later in the day… this place does get busy!
