Oil Changes
Our signature 17-point oil change service includes premium motor oil, quality filter replacement, and comprehensive vehicle inspection. Technicians check fluids, tire pressure, brake systems, and electrical components while performing exterior window cleaning. This maintenance service helps maintain optimal engine performance while identifying potential issues early. Customers receive fast service without appointments, typically completed in under 30 minutes.
Tire Services
We offer complete tire solutions including sales, installation, and maintenance. Our inventory features major brands like Michelin and Goodyear with price-matching guarantees. Services include mounting, balancing, rotation, and alignment. Certified technicians perform flat repairs and recommend seasonal tire changes. The 'Buy 4 Tires Get Free Oil Change' promotion adds value for customers investing in new tire sets.
Brake Service
Our brake maintenance includes fluid flushes and complete system overhauls. Technicians inspect pads, rotors, calipers, and hydraulic components while addressing common issues like squealing or vibration. The service restores braking efficiency and prevents premature wear. Starting at $250, pricing varies based on component replacement needs. Chemical testing ensures proper brake fluid condition during each service visit.
Cooling System Service
This service flushes the complete cooling system to remove contaminants while replacing antifreeze. Technicians check for leaks, inspect hoses, and ensure proper thermostat operation. Regular maintenance prevents overheating and extends engine life. Starting at $129.99, pricing depends on coolant type and system complexity. Service intervals recommended every 3 years or 30,000 miles maintain optimal performance.
Transmission Service
We offer both automatic and manual transmission services. The power-flush process removes varnish buildup while replacing contaminated fluid. Services include torque converter maintenance and cooler line cleaning. Standard service replaces gear oil at $89.99, while automatic flushes start at $139.99. Recommended every 20,000-30,000 miles, these services reduce shifting issues and extend transmission longevity.

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.

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
