Despite listing their Saturday hours as being open until 1pm and refusing to take reservations for oil changes, they consistently refuse to take vehicles for oil changes after 11:45 on Saturdays (even when there isn't a long line). This has happened to me on multiple occasions. It's deeply frustrating for people who work insane hours to take the time to drive over (with plenty of time to spare), only to be told in a very brusque manner that they aren't accepting any more cars. It should be noted that other locations don't seem to have this problem- it seems to be a quirk of workplace culture specific to this particular location. read more

Fast friendly service, it's a great price the employees are really helpful. They let you know if you cars needs attention. I had no idea my rear wiper was completely falling apart. They replaced it in 10 mins. Highly recommend this place read more

the lack of accountability and standing being an issue is lacking 0 acknowledgement for long time customers was alarming they have lost four car business and more as I share the experience read more

I can't say enough good things about Oil N Go in Essex. The staff are so nice l, they are incredibly efficient, hardworking, and trustworthy. I am so, so glad I chose them when our other mechanic moved. My husband and I have been going to Oil N Go Essex for years now. read more

I had been a satisfied occasional customer of Oil n Go for a long time, but I have recently experienced some upsetting service at the Essex Junction location. Incident number 1 involved a routine oil change Everything seemed to go fine, however, I just had the oil changed again (3k miles later) and my local mechanic informed me that the drain plug had been WAY over torqued to the extent that the head was completely stripped and the threads on the Aluminum oil pan were ruined. I head to replace both parts which cost me $650 for parts and labor. Incident number 2 involved a recent inspection for different vehicle. The technician informed us that the car did not pass due to front brake wear. We subsequently replaced the front brakes and your technician then passed the car. 1 week later we brought the car to our local mechanic for tire changeovers, and he showed me that the REAR brakes were down to less than 2mm. This was completely missed by the Oil n Go technician who passed our car and sent us on our way with unsafe brakes. When I went to the shop and spoke to the manager and showed him the stripped plug, he was defensive, argumentative, and condescending to me, and refused to accept any responsibility for this. I contacted the company via email 2 weeks ago and never received a response. read more

I have been using Oil N' Go at their Essex location for many years and have been satisfied with the results, workmanship and the staff's interaction each time I have an appointment. The team is always courteous and if they find something which needs to be addressed will check prior to doing the work. I consider Oil N' Go on the same level as the small owner garage which pretty much doesn't exist anymore. I highly recommend them!!!!!! read more

My daughter's car was leaking oil profusely and other mechanics were unable to get a handle on it. These guys went above and beyond and tracked the problem down and fixed it at a reasonable cost and much faster than expected. Terrific job! Very grateful! read more

Company is fantastic. I go there for all my oil changes. They do a great job. They take care of the project immediately and keep it very clean. read more

Had a headlamp replaced, oil change and inspection. Great service, completed in a timely manner. Busy place but well organized.

I've been to this place twice in my time in Vermont and I recommend them. The place is clean, the staff is personable and thorough. Two thumbs up. read more

Requested an oil change came in and the waiting room was packed. They said it would be a little over an hour wait. Was only a 45 minute wait. The place was clean and the staff are always very friendly. I have been coming to Oil N Go since 2015. I like that they send me e-mail reminders of what preventative maintenance is due. read more

AVOID THIS LOCATION!!! I had an ignition interlock device installed at the "Oil N Go" in Essex. During installation, the technician broke my 4-way flasher switch and made me pay for the replacement. They also detached the vent knob so I could not switch between, air/defrost/etc, and they never fixed it. So, I had to pay an extra $100 when picking up my car from Oil N Go, and another $120 to get the knob fixed. A snow plow also hit my bumper while it was parked in their lot. They replaced the bumper but the weather proofing around each front wheel was not properly reattached. I had to rip them out completely as they were interfering with my ability to turn the car. I can't afford to fix them, either. read more

We needed an oil change and the intake process was very efficient. Everyone was remarkably friendly (Jeff came out to welcome us) and the waiting area was so clean and fresh smelling. They gave me the options and what was recommended for my vehicle. We had a low-beam light out we asked them to replace. The service was done quickly and we got a phone call from Eric. The light bulb is a high intensity bulb that costs $200 in the shop. They wanted to make sure we were okay with the price and cost of installation. We opted not to install, since we can buy and install for half the price ourselves, which is fine. No hard feelings and no pressure from them. At checkout, Howard, was very friendly and efficient as well. We got smiles from everyone and the cost of service was comparable, or perhaps cheaper than other options (especially the Dealerships). We will return! Keep up the good work, team :) read more

Excellent place for an oil change. Staff is well trained and professional. They go through an extensive check list and treat your car very well. read more

You guys need to fix your hours listed online. I just drove from milton to essex to get a oil change and inspection just to find out you decided to close at 1pm today. Google says 4pm. What a pain in the butt. Thanks for wasting my time. read more

Brought my GMC 2500 work truck in for oil change thinking that know what they're doing. With in a few weeks under a 1000 miles later my truck motor starts rapping and knocking. Brought it to dealer. Was told it was three quarts low. I looked at my receipt from oil n go they had put in 6 quarts, but was informed the this motor takes 8 quarts. Contacted oil n go and told them what happened and now I can not get anyone to respond back to me. Now I have to get a lawyer involved just so I can get this resolved. read more

I can't say enough good things about Oil n Go in Essex. They don't just change your oil, they are skilled mechanics and can handle any of your car repair needs. They are friendly, thorough, and communicate well about what your car needs. Reasonably priced. No need for oil change appointment. read more

First visit for an oil change, no need to make an appointment, I do recommend going early though. If you need other services you need an appointment. Friendly employees, knowledgeable, and informative. Provided helpful information about the current status and care of the car and what to pay attention to or keep an eye on. Highly recommend this garage. read more

Having been a long time customer of Oil N Go - first at the Shelburne shop when I lived in S. Burlington, and for almost 15 years at the Essex shop, I highly recommend their service. They'll walk you out to your car and explain everything that's been done. They'll bring you a price quote before starting on the big $$ jobs. Everyone there is always great, but I'd like to give a special shout-out to Jeff, Steve, and Howard who've kept our Subarus in good shape. It's wonderful to have a local business that's so easy to support! read more

Very professional and efficient. Always come here for my annual state inspections because they always get me in and out in no time! Appointments are easy to schedule. Prices are definitely reasonable. It's a local chain, but it's a good one. If I didn't do my oil changes myself, this is the place I'd go to get them done. read more

I just happened to be down the street and knowing I was overdue for an oil change I thought I'd stop by real quick. To my surprise they took me in on the spot and had me out in under 15 minutes! These guys were great! I hadn't been in in a few years , for no reason really, but will be taking my future oil changes there from now on. read more

Very professional! Brought my car in for an oil change and they got us right in! They did a great job, allowed waiting inside (it was 90+ degrees that day!) and waiting area setup for social distancing. Everyone wore masks and were incredibly professional! Will definitely being our vehicles back here! read more

Went in today. They were honest and didn't sell me anything not needed. The staff were nice, professional, and friendly. Worked within all COVID guidelines. Would be happy to go again. read more

Took my car in for an inspection last weekend, which should be fairly routine and easy for the folks at Oil'n'Go. They should know many things regarding various vehicles, including makes and models. My car is a 2016 and a straight forward vehicle. I made sure all my paperwork, including a tint permit, was available for the inspection. When I brought it in I knew my tire sensor light was on and I'd have reset it if I had read the manual for doing such. Now the guy who determines if a vehicle passes or not comes and tells me the sensor light may prevent him from passing my car then says he'll check my tires. I reassure him that they are brand new, fairly high end, properly inflated Winter tires. He comes back a short bit later and says "I'm going to take your word for it on the tires and pass the vehicle." He states that me going away with the sensor light on could land me a $5,000 fine, I'm thinking he's full of it. I pay, leave and contact the dealership and they confirm that it's BS and walk me through resetting the sensor light via a button on my dash. Maybe Oil'n'Go shouldn't do inspections if they don't know their elbow from their butthole!! This is the third time they've tried some sort of BS with me. I won't be taking any vehicle there ever again. read more

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! read more

We are here in Vermont on our romantic getaway and our car breaks down! Luckily we find Oil & Go to the rescue! Cannot say enough about the professionalism and quick courteous staff to help. We were desperate and they came to our rescue on a Saturday!! Thank you!!! read more

I went in for an an inspection. I know my car was perfect . These people were fishing for work . They said my shocks were leaking ; no such leaks were anywhere on either shock . They passed my car . read more

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. read more

I have always been treated with respect and honesty here. Great place to go for quick, reliable, quality service. I highly recommend this place! read more

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. read more

It's 2018 and I can't book an appointment online? They give you the option to book online, just don't expect them to add your appointment to the schedule. I guess this should come as no surprise for a place that is consistently understaffed on the weekends. read more

Charged $109 for a synthetic oil change in my Ford Explorer. Tech drove my suv into bay and never asked what kind of oil I wanted. When I told him I wanted full synthetic he seemed caught off guard. He likely had already filled with conventional oil. They checked off that they vacuumed. They did not. They checked off that they washed windows. Nope. They indicated they filled tires to recommended psi. Nope. Cashier had an attitude, I think he may be the owner. All in all a horrific experience. Steer clear of this place. read more

Always great service at the Essex Junction location! Polite, thorough and efficient, even despite the hot weather we are experiencing! I bring all 4 of my vehicles here - all 2012 and older, and will continue to do so. read more

Great service, not trying to screw you over like a lot of other places who will tell you your car needs work when it doesn't. Will be back here for our inspections every year! read more

Been taking my mini van here for oil changes. I prefer this shop because they are very professional and quick on the job. They are a full service repair shop and I'm looking forward to taking my cars there for repairs in the future. By the way I like how they top off all fluids and check all lights to make sure I'm safe on the road. read more

The never replaced the thermostat in my car. I had to go to another mechanic following my appt. With oil and go and found they never replaced the part I had purchased and paid for them to replace! read more

$55 for a state inspection sounds like robbery to me. It definitely wasn't the fastest service either

I don't know if the man in charge recognized our exhaustion and panic. Here was our situation. My daughter was leaving UVM for the summer, and we had packed everything into our 2003 Element. I refilled the windshield wiper reservoir, but when I closed the hood found that it would not close. We drove to the nearest Honda dealer, but the repair shop was already closed--it was 1:00 on a Saturday. They diagnosed the problem as a broken cable from the release under the dash to the hood lock. So the hood was partially opened, being only semi-closed. I was afraid I would be driving very slowly on small roads rather than I 89. They suggested Bond's Auto Supplies, so we went there hoping to find a way to hold the hood down so we could drive home to Hingham, south of Boston. A counter guy at Bond's suggested that I try Oil n" Go. I didn't expect anyone would be able to help other than to tie the hood down with a bungie or tied down. I thought Oil N' Go was only for fast oil changes. I was totally WRONG. The man I met told me that he had just had the same problem with his Honda Accord, so he thought he could fix the cable. We sat in the waiting room figuring we would be last in line and that most likely we would be sitting there for an hour or more. five minutes later the guy who I had talked to walked into the room and told us the car was ready to go, all fixed! The price was very reasonable, the entire experience was so wonderful I knew I needed to provide a review of this GREAT SERVICE. We are from a long way away, but my daughter has two more years at UVM. If we need anything automotive again up that way we will be back! THANKS OIL N' GO! read more

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. read 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. read more
