Need an oil change? CAA’s Mobile Oil Change service is a huge time saver that conveniently comes to your home. Say goodbye to spending hours in a garage waiting room or dropping off the car.  Instead, book a time online in seconds that works with your schedule. Our trusted partner, Easy Tire, will send a TIA-certified mobile technician with the best tools and equipment for the job. While they work outdoors, you can relax in your living room. 

So, how does the easy and spill-free service work? Our technicians will come to you, whether at your home or office. They will set up an absorption mat around the car to protect the area. Then, our professionals follow all safety measures and extract the oil using a vacuum mechanism.  

Each appointment takes approximately 1.5 hours, but you don’t need to sit around waiting. Instead, you can continue your day while the technicians perform a 23+ point inspection, covering your vehicle’s battery, tire tread, belts, and wiper blades.

Another major difference from going to the garage is the lack of an upsell experience. We will bring the usual maintenance parts (air filter, cabin filter, and wipers) with us and check their condition as part of the service. If they require replacement, you decide—no pressure. 

Book your CAA Mobile Oil Change appointment to improve your car's mileage and extend its life, while saving you money by lowering your costs. It's easy and affordable exclusively for CAA Members in select regions of Ottawa, powered by a trusted CAA automotive partner, Easy Tire.

When should you get an oil change?  

Most newer vehicles are equipped with oil-condition monitoring systems that track signals indicating when it is time for an oil change. For older cars, always check the vehicle owner’s manual, as the intervals differ by manufacturer. If you can’t find the manual, the factory maintenance schedule is available online. 

Why should I use the service instead of doing it myself? 

Most vehicle owners opt not to do it themselves because accessing the oil filter may require lifting the vehicle, removing a wheel, or putting it on a ramp. Additionally, removing the filter or replacing the oil pan drain may require a special tool.  

How does the vacuum extraction work?  

The extractor uses compressed air to create a vacuum, and then we insert a drain tube down into the oil pan via the dipstick tube. If the oil is warm, the extraction process takes approximately 5-10 minutes. Once complete, we remove the drain tube and reinsert the dipstick into the dipstick tube.
