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.

Quick service, yet above and beyond! I had a noise going on that was very obnoxious and unrelated to an oil change, and they fixed it for me too. Give them good tips! Services: General repairs & maintenance, Cleaning

Great quick service, best place for a quick oil change. Always good to me for inspection. Only problem is it's busy and fast service, so if your coming for anything else you might find it harder to get an appointment or sit down and talk with a tech.

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.

Traveling around for work from WAY outta state and found a surprise deflated tire that became completely flat by the time I got to the shop across the street. They were prompt and able to fit me in for a real quick fix - a 2 inch screw was the culprit. Thanks a bunch! Service: Tires

Really great service! This was the first time I visited this location as I usually go to the Essex one. I called to see if they were busy, the person who answered was extremely pleasant on the phone. Everyone I interacted with when I got there was knowledgeable and not pushy about extra services. I was in and out in 20 minutes! Would definitely recommend them

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 :)

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.

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.

I had a wonderful experience at the oil n go on Shelburne road. I dropped off my car because there was a problem with the front muffler. The staff originally told me the cost would be $600. I later brought my car back to have the muffler replaced. After starting to work on the muffler the technician realized the whole thing did not need to be replaced.

I left with paying only $170. The staff could have easily taken advantage and charged the original $600, but instead they were very professional and honest. On top of all of that the staff was friendly and everything was on time. So thankful for this experience. Would definitely recommend!

Came in early in the day and only had to wait just under 20 mins to be on my way again after the oil change. Decent price for their thorough work (topped off fluids, checked tire pressure, belts, etc without pressuring action on their recommendations). I really appreciate the picnic bench by the beautiful paper birch tree while I waited.it allowed me time to just be with Mother Nature for a few moments.

Really like this place. Clean, professional, friendly. I've tried Jiffy Lube a few times, all their employees are like carnival workers. I like Oil n' Go much better. Update 01/21/21: Just came back for an oil change. Walked out to meet me in the parking lot. Got me right in. Had my truck in the garage before I even talked to the front desk person.

Very much on top of things and ready to service your vehicle. Forgot my coupon that was mailed to me, they honored it anyway. Second time in a row I've had a positive experience. Nobody is perfect, but I feel good about this place so far. I'll update after my next visit.

Been going to Oil N Go for many years now, both at the Essex and S Burlington locations. I've always been impressed by the speed and efficiency of the service and I feel all of the technicians go the extra mile. My car is well cared for by the team so I keep coming back for services beyond just oil changes including tire changeovers, transmission, etc.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

They were fast and honest. They called me to provide updates. I went to wicked wings across the road to wait instead of staying there while they worked on my car.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Local business and quality service! They have friendly staff as well! They accept all of the major credit cards. I've been coming here for years and haven't had any problems.

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!

Oil n' Go was fast and did a terrific job on my Subaru! They even vacuumed out my car and washed my windows. I highly recommend them.
