The honest answer

Is it worth sorting oil change now?

Edinburgh's stop-start driving — crawling along Princes Street or sitting through Leith Walk roadworks — is harder on engine oil than steady motorway miles, breaking it down faster than the mileage on your service sticker might suggest.

On top of that, city-centre parking is scarce and expensive, which means plenty of drivers put off an oil change simply because getting to a garage and back is a hassle. We remove that excuse entirely by coming to you, wherever your car happens to be parked.

A standard oil and filter change starts from £69, using fully synthetic oil to manufacturer specification, with premium and specialist grades quoted for your specific vehicle before we start.

Short answer

We bring manufacturer-specification oil and a new filter straight to your driveway or work car park, change it cleanly using drip trays and mats, reset your service light, and take the old oil away — most jobs done in around 45 minutes.

Warning signs

When to book this service

If any of these sound familiar, do not leave it — small faults become expensive quickly.

01URGENT

Oil warning light

This light indicates low oil pressure or level and should be checked as soon as possible.

02SERVICE NEEDED

Engine louder than usual

Increased engine noise can mean the oil has broken down and is no longer lubricating properly.

03SERVICE NEEDED

Oil looks dark or gritty on the dipstick

Old, contaminated oil loses its ability to protect engine components and should be changed.

04SERVICE NEEDED

Overdue on mileage or time interval

Most manufacturers recommend a change every 12 months or 10,000-12,000 miles — sooner for short, stop-start journeys.

05URGENT

Burning oil smell

A burning smell can indicate an oil leak onto a hot engine part and should be checked promptly.

Local knowledge

Why Edinburgh drivers trust us for oil change

City driving here is hard on cars. We know exactly how, and what it does to your vehicle.

Stop-start driving breaks oil down faster

Traffic on Princes Street and roadworks along Leith Walk are far harder on engine oil than steady motorway miles.

City-centre parking makes garage visits a hassle

Scarce, expensive parking in the centre means many drivers put off servicing — coming to you removes that problem entirely.

No mess left behind

We use drip trays and absorbent mats on every job, so your driveway, close or car park is left exactly as we found it.

Bruntsfield · 2019 Audi A3 1.5 TFSI

An overdue oil change fitted around a working day in Bruntsfield

Sarah from Bruntsfield had been putting off her Audi's overdue oil change for months, put off by the thought of losing a lunch hour finding parking near a garage in the city centre. She booked us instead for a slot around her working-from-home day, and our mechanic arrived at her flat, laid out drip trays on the pavement, changed the oil and filter, topped up her fluids and reset the service light — all within 45 minutes, with no mess left on her street.

I'd been avoiding it for weeks because of the parking hassle in town. They turned up, did it properly, and I didn't even have to leave my desk.

Outcome

Reviews

What Edinburgh drivers say

Impossible to find parking near a garage from my flat off the Royal Mile. £69, done on my street in 40 minutes, cheaper than the dealer quote too.

Ewan T.

Old Town

Oil looked filthy on the dipstick on my old Mondeo. Changed at my work car park in Gorgie for £69, fluids topped up as well, no extra charge.

Morag L.

Gorgie

My BMW needed a specific oil grade. They sourced it, fitted it and reset the service light on my driveway in Stockbridge, all for a clearly quoted price.

FAQs

Oil Change questions

How often should I really change my oil?+

Most manufacturers recommend every 12 months or 10,000-12,000 miles, whichever comes first, but Edinburgh's short, stop-start city journeys break oil down faster, so we'd suggest not stretching that interval if most of your driving is around town.

Do you use manufacturer-approved oil?+

Yes, we use fully synthetic oil to manufacturer specification as standard, and we'll source a specific grade for your vehicle if it needs something less common, so your service record and warranty stay valid.

Can you do it in a multi-storey car park or on-street?+

Yes, we regularly carry out oil changes wherever your car is parked, whether that's on-street, in a multi-storey, or a work car park, using drip trays and mats so nothing is left behind.

How long does it take?+

Most standard oil changes take around 45 minutes from arrival to finish, including topping up other fluids and resetting your service light.

What if my car needs a specific oil grade?+

We check the correct specification for your exact vehicle before we arrive wherever possible, and if it needs a less common grade, we source it the same day so the job is still completed in one visit.
