It’s easy for us to trust Midas’ touch after all the golden positives we’ve seen in this shop. They have a great reputation among their past clients too, plus a lot of other things that set them apart from the rest.

For starters, the shop requires an appointment for all prospective clients. Normally, we’d prefer a no-appointment setup – but after seeing their system in action, we saw that it ensures every customer can be accommodated at an exact time without having to wait for long.

The average time it takes for an oil change here is around 40 minutes, but it can take up to an hour. This is because they also do a complimentary inspection for your vehicle, which bumps up their score with us overall.

If you’re an Oil Change Plus customer, you have to wait for an extra 15 minutes for the tire rotation. Don’t worry about feeling bored since you get a nice cup of coffee to drink – on the house, of course.

Another thing that we liked about them is that they can do a high mileage oil change. So, even if your vehicle has more than 75,000 miles on with signs of engine wear, they can still help you out.

Although we found a few complaints here and there about the customer service, there weren’t enough of those to take the company off of our list. Plus, in this specific location, the ratings are 4.8 stars on Google Review, which is the highest among all their locations.

We found a few more nice things that sprinkle added good notes onto their overall rating, such as coupons and financing options. They’re not exactly life-changing, but they’re great to take note of if you plan to do other repairs with them.

Pros

  • Complimentary car inspection with an oil change
  • Fast and scheduled time of service
  • Complimentary coffee
  • Performs high mileage oil change
  • Coupons, offers, and financing options available
  • Easy online booking process and quote request

Cons

  • Occasional issues with customer service and communication

Customer Reviews

Honest and knowledgeable service

They’ve been my mechanic for a few years and two cars now and I’ve never had anything but good experiences with them. They’re fast, friendly, honest, and knowledgeable, and their prices are very reasonable. They don’t try to pressure you into unnecessary work and have even dissuaded me from doing unnecessary work even when it would have been in their better financial interest to let me make a stupid decision. One of the best mechanics I’ve ever had, hands down. – Will Rawleigh

One of the best

Best garage! Always get treated kindly, never feel like I’m being swindled about issues or upsold. Explained what’s needed now, and what is maybe needed in the future, if anything at all. Plus the place is super clean and have beverages and coffee for free while you wait- so many garages you don’t want to even sit down. They call me for oil changes, and store my winter tires for me. Easy peasy. – Ilona Utriainen

When it comes to quick and convenient oil changes, Mr. Lube + Tires is among our top recommendations. We even think they’re one of the best choices for customers who want to patronize a single shop only.

Here’s the first thing we liked about the shop – there are no appointments required and you can get an oil change within the day. 

However, since you have no control over the time, you may encounter busy days where you’ll have to wait for hours before your turn.

On the positive side, if everything goes well, you can expect an oil change in as fast as 20 minutes. Plus, you get to enjoy the courteous company of kind mechanics, many clients noted.

What you won’t like, on the other hand, is their tendency to upsell. We usually have a low tolerance when it comes to being sold things we don’t need but we can forgive them for this since we liked their oil quality.

Speaking of quality, the oil and oil filters they offer are all API and SAE-approved. They’re also competitively priced so you won’t be shocked once you get the bill.

As mentioned, we think that they’re a great choice for repeat customers because they use an Electronic Owner’s Manual (EOM). It’s nothing ultra-fancy as far as tech goes but they use it to personalize the services you get.

Using this, they can track your interval needs so you won’t have to worry about how frequently you need to go for an oil change. Since they have your record, you can get on with your busy life without missing a regular service.

By the way, oil changes here are also warranty-approved. If that’s a guarantee you’re looking for, then it’s a good idea to check them out.

Pros

  • Overy 45 years in business
  • Warranty-approved oil changes
  • API and SAE-approved oil and oil filters
  • Various service centers in Toronto
  • Carries products from respected brands such as Mobil and Mobil 1
  • Uses an Electronic Owner’s Manual (EOM) to follow service intervals
  • No appointments required

Cons

  • Tendency to upsell during service
  • Service takes long during busy hours

Customer Reviews

Excellent service for a great price

Shan was so helpful! Great service and excellent communication. Went in for an oil change but also got my tires changed for a great price. If it wasn’t for Shan I would be driving an unsafe care. Thank you so much to you and the team. – Kimberly Dabrowski

Keeps clients in the loop

The crew at this Mr. Lube went above and beyond their call of duty. Went in for an oil change and they gave us some updates on the rest of the car, filled our tires with air, washed our windshield, checked all fluids, lubed up all our doors, and brought us under the car to show us where rust issues might come up in future — all for under $100. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very impressed by their team and we will definitely be back. – Cassidy Civiero

As their name suggests, Take 5 Oil Change specializes in changing oils without the long waiting times. With 4.9 stars on Google Reviews, the place boasts the highest rating on Google among all the shops on this list.

Though, compared to the others, the range of services they offer is fairly limited. They only do minor additional services such as light bulb replacement, undercoating, and dealing with engine air filters.

Still, we aren’t too disappointed because these additional services are usually paired with an oil change. Plus, waiting times are generally short, with many past clients noting that they were in and out of the shop as if they were at the pit stop of an F1 race.

Now that we’ve mentioned waiting, one of our favorites has to do with their clean and welcoming facility. You can even watch TV or browse magazines while you sip on a beverage of your choice (coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available!).

In terms of oil products, we can’t pin a serious fault on them either. Some of the brands they carry are Castrol, Mobil 1, and AMSOIL and they offer all types of oil including regular, semi-synthetic, and synthetic.

Pros

  • Specialize in oil changes
  • Has manufacturer’s warranty on all oil change packages
  • No appointments required
  • Fast oil change process
  • Clean facility while clients wait
  • Complimentary beverages with options 
  • Carries many known oil brands

Cons

  • Can be more expensive than expected 
  • Issues with customer service

Customer Reviews

Exemplary service 

Extremely friendly and top-notch oil change service. Quick in-out hardly 15minutes! I haven’t seen such an exemplary team work anywhere before. Best thing they are not pushy, if something needs to be done they will ask you and it’s your choice to got for it or not. Highly satisfied and yeah I’m a loyal customer for sure now!. – Shahzada Mahzeb

Fast and high-quality products

This place is amazing. They change your oil with military like precision and operating procedures. I was concerned with going to a quick change place due to the risk of them doing a bad job and forgetting the oil drain plug but that concern quickly ended when I see how the operate. They double check everything. I was also concerned with receiving low quality oil but they use Castrol products. They also check your engine air filter and cabin air filter for you as well as inspect your tires which was a nice bonus. – Willis Nigh

As another shop that specializes in changing oil, the care services you can get here are pretty limited. But, as among the best in the trade, we found many reasons why you’ll love coming to this shop.

For starters, their oil change services allow you to stay in your car, kinda like a drive-thru set up for oil changes. Though this system isn’t exactly unique in this shop, it’s what they do best so it’s something we’d love to highlight.

During this process, everything is basically contactless from process to payment. They can also send you your invoice via email to avoid sending out printed copies.

Like most shops, oil change here typically takes less. On average, a typical customer can expect anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes.

The only downside is, you don’t have many options when it comes to oil products. They only offer Valvoline (one of the most commonly used motor oils) meaning they can only do synthetic oil changes.

Still, it’s not that much of a problem since they have a variety of grades of this oil. Just make sure that you get consistent quality all the time.

On top of that, a full-service oil change here gives you a Valvoline oil filter, a multi-point visual inspection, and lubrication for chassis components.

Unfortunately, we didn’t like that we encountered various complaints about cost increases in their services. They allegedly also have poor customer service though it can be easily countered by the hundreds of comments that praise this shop.

Pros

  • Specializes in stay-in-car oil change
  • Contactless process and payment
  • Receive a Valvoline oil filter per full-service oil change
  • Seamless communication
  • No appointments required

Cons

  • Limited oil options to choose from

Customer Reviews

Great service throughout the years

Steve and Rovin at Oil Changers were GREAT!! Been going to this location for oil changes for  over a decade now. I’ve since moved further away and have bought a new car. These guys didn’t disappoint. Exceptional customer service and patience, answering some questions I had about my new car, when they really didn’t have to. They go above and beyond. Definitely will be going back for more oil changes! – Peter Youssef

Fast oil change process

Great service. I was told I have a oil pan gasket leak, but wasn’t upsold on any services. They just told me to keep an eye on my oil level as time goes on. Fast, conscientious service. Drive through, and no appointments necessary,  I’ll be returning here for my next oil change for sure! – Daniel Fernandez

Jiffy Lube has always been a prominent name when it comes to oil changes. And looking through their offerings, we can clearly see why a lot of customers love them.

First of all, they have all the things that we look for in a well-rounded service provider. They have excellent customer service, they work fast, and everyone is thorough when it comes to working.

The downside is that some clients are not happy with their rates, which are a bit on the high side. On the plus side, they’re not really pushy when it comes to getting other services, so there’s that.

Second, we really like this particular location. It’s super-accessible and easy-to-find as many past customers attested.

In this case, location matters so much because they do a stay-in-car oil change. This isn’t really a unique approach, but we do like that everything is contactless.

In terms of oil changing, you generally have two options here: full-service oil change and check and fill. The best part is, you get a product and workmanship guarantee for 3 months or 5,000 km after the service.

On top of this, they’re also the most generous when it comes to coupons, as they always have a few offered every month or week. Add that to their guarantee and overall, for a shop that has been operating for over four decades, you can expect great services here.

Pros

  • Specializes in oil change
  • Contactless oil change
  • Great location 
  • Product and workmanship guarantee for 3 months or 5,000 
  • Offers coupons for discounts
  • No appointments required

Cons

  • A bit expensive 
  • Line is long during busy hours

Exceptional customer care

Fantastic Experience James is professional, friendly and efficient, he explained each product and I understood which best fit my need. From beginning to end, James made sure everything was handled carefully and stress-free. Excellent Customer Service. – Jo-Anne Jeffery

Fast and efficient service

My experience at this Jiffy Lube location was painless. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. The staff was knowledgeable, polite, and efficient. I was made aware of a few defects with my car without any pressure to pay for the repairs on site. The staff ensured I consented to any service I received and then thoroughly explained my bill before payment. Great location to get your oil changed and effect minor repairs. – Steve Bartholomew
