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

How we score these

Rating is the live Google average pulled straight from each workshop’s listing. Review volume shows how many real customers left a review, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, since a perfect score on a small sample counts for less than one built on thousands. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No workshop can pay to change any of these numbers.

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

Pricing depends heavily on your car’s engine size, whether it takes synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, and whether the workshop uses OEM or aftermarket filters. Hybrid and performance vehicles typically cost more due to specialized oil requirements. Ask each workshop for a quote by your exact make and model before booking.

Serving Sin Ming and across Singapore

Most of the workshops on this page cluster around Sin Ming Drive and Sin Ming Avenue, an area known locally as a car servicing hub, with easy access from Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, and Thomson. Search for an oil change service near you and expect Saturday half-days at most of these shops, with Sunday closures common.

What to ask before your oil change

  • What oil grade and brand do you use for my specific make and model?
  • Is the filter OEM or aftermarket, and is that reflected in the price?
  • How long will the appointment take, and is there a lounge if I wait?
  • Do you check other fluids or just the oil during a standard service?
  • Can you send photos or video of anything you find during the check?
  • Is there a warranty on the parts or labor?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these workshops?

We compared publicly available Google ratings and review counts for oil change and servicing businesses in Singapore, weighing how many real customers have rated each one alongside how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026. Ratings and review counts shift over time, so check the linked Google listing for the most current numbers.

Do these workshops handle hybrid and electric vehicles?

1 Car Service specifically calls out hybrid system expertise in its reviews. If you drive a hybrid, ask directly before booking since not every workshop stocks the right oil grades.

Can I get my OBU installed at the same time as an oil change?

Garage R Performance Centre and Complete VMS both service OBU (in-vehicle unit) installation for Singapore’s road pricing system alongside regular maintenance, based on multiple reviews.

The bottom line

1 Car Service is the safe default here, backed by the highest review count and a rating that’s held steady across nearly 1,700 reviews. If you’re dealing with an accident claim on top of servicing, Complete VMS is worth calling first. Either way, book ahead. Several of these workshops run a tight Saturday half-day and none open on Sunday.
