Our take: A 4.9 across 879 reviews, the largest review base on this list. It edges just behind Auto Quick Fix on rating while carrying more reviews, so it is a fine safe default for a fixed-location garage.

Watch: 5 Best Oil Change Services in London (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated a garage, ranked against other London oil-change and servicing options. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds carries more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still reviewing. No garage can pay to change these numbers.

How much does an oil change cost in London? (2026)

Most London garages price a basic oil and filter change on its own, then charge more if it is part of an interim or full service. What moves the total is the oil grade your car needs, whether a new filter is included, and how much other work you bundle in. Here are common 2026 ranges:

JobTypical price
Basic oil and filter changeGBP 60 - 120
Interim serviceGBP 90 - 160
Full serviceGBP 150 - 250
Major serviceGBP 250 - 400
MOT test (capped)up to GBP 54.85

Ranges compiled July 2026 from Fixter, Halfords Autocentres, and London garages’ published pricing; the MOT fee is the UK government maximum. Confirm the oil grade and whether a new filter is included before you book.

Serving all of London

The garages above cover London across the compass, with bases in Islington, Camden, Shoreditch and Brick Lane, Bermondsey, and Vauxhall near Wandsworth. Searching for an oil change near me?

What to ask before you book an oil change

  • Which oil grade will you use, and does it match my handbook spec?
  • Is a new filter included in the price?
  • Is this an oil change only, or part of a fuller service?
  • Do you offer a guarantee on the work?
  • Can you do it same day, while I wait, or at my home?
  • Will you show me the old parts and give an itemised bill?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these oil-change garages?

We started from every oil-change and servicing garage in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See how we score, above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another garage’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date, July 2026 on this page. We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How often should I change my oil?

Most manufacturers recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first, but always check your car’s handbook for the exact interval and oil grade.

How much does an oil change cost in London?

A basic oil and filter change runs about GBP 60 to 120, with interim and full services costing more. See the cost table above, and confirm the oil grade and whether a filter is included before booking.

The bottom line

For convenience, Auto Quick Fix comes to you with a flawless record, while Islington Auto Service is the safe default garage on sheer volume, and Bosch Camden is the dealer-alternative for a full service. Whoever you use, confirm the oil grade matches your handbook and that a new filter is in the price.
