The miles or the months are up
Most owner's manuals give an interval in miles and in months. Go by whichever comes first, even if you don't drive much.

What's included
What's in a mobile oil change
Every engine calls for a specific type, grade and amount of oil. Tell us the year, make and model and we'll bring what the manufacturer specifies.
We do the job where the vehicle is parked, so all we need is a level, safe spot with room to work around it.
- Old oil drained and the oil filter replaced
- Fresh oil in the type and grade your manufacturer specifies
- Other fluid levels checked while we're under the hood
- Used oil and the old filter taken away with us
- Parts and labor listed separately on your quote
When to book
When it's time for an oil change
A service reminder is on
A maintenance reminder means you're due. A red oil-pressure warning is different: stop driving and call us.
The oil looks dark and gritty
Fresh oil is amber and smooth. Oil that's black, thick or gritty on the dipstick has done its job and needs replacing.
The engine sounds louder
Old oil protects less, so ticking or rumbling that wasn't there before can mean you're overdue.
How it works
Three steps. No drop-off, no waiting room.
Tell us what's going on
Your vehicle, the problem and where it's parked. Book online, call or text. You can text us photos of warning lights, too.
Get a clear quote
If we can price it accurately, you get an upfront quote. If it needs a look first, we book a diagnostic visit instead of guessing.
We come to you
We show up at the scheduled time and do the work right where your vehicle is parked, at home or at work, so you can get on with your day.
Pricing
Clear pricing. No surprises.
Every vehicle is different, so we quote each job for yours instead of posting flat prices. You'll know what you're paying, and when, before we pick up a wrench.
What you can count on
- An upfront quote for your exact vehicle before any work starts
- Parts and labor listed separately on every quote
- No travel fees and no convenience fees
- Nothing extra replaced without your OK
- A 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty on our workmanship
When you pay
- Routine maintenance
- After the work is done.
- Diagnostic visits
- At the visit. The fee can be credited toward the repair you approve.
- Larger repairs
- A parts deposit before we order, with the balance due when the job's complete.
Reviews
What customers say.
★★★★★
Excellent service and experience! Upshift provided a very efficient and professional experience. They showed up on time, performed outstanding work, and best of all, saved me hours of sitting in a waiting area. I never had to leave home!
★★★★★
Brilliant! Being able to have car service performed at MY convenient location is just wonderful! I imagine that many of us have had to drop our cars off, figure out rides or sit for HOURS waiting for our car service to be done (I have...). Not so with UPSHIFT! They'll come to my house, or my office, or... wherever is convenient, and do the work while I continue doing what I need to or want to do. No more hours wasted sitting in a waiting room. No more trying to figure out how to get a ride...
★★★★★
Great service and smooth arrangements, payments, messaging for reminders and other contacts, and excellent web presence. I'll definitely call on them again for further remote maintenance.
★★★★★
Super easy and convenient to book. It’s so nice to not have to sit in a mechanic shop and to get car maintenance done from the comfort of my own home!
Oil change: common questions
Still unsure? Call or text (518) 888-7497 and a real person will answer.
Which oil will you use?
The type and grade your vehicle's manufacturer specifies. If you prefer a particular kind, such as full synthetic, tell us when you request service and we'll quote it.
How much does a mobile oil change cost?
It depends on your vehicle, because engines take different amounts and types of oil and different filters. Send us your year, make and model and we'll give you an upfront quote. There's no travel fee.
Where can you do it?
In a driveway or parking lot at your home or workplace, as long as the spot is level and there's adequate, safe space to work around the vehicle.
Can you do other work in the same visit?
Yes. Tire rotations, wiper blades, and engine and cabin air filters can be added to any visit. Tell us what you'd like when you book.
