MOMS Mobile Oil Change: A Car Service Provider Catering to Your Convenience

For Tyreese Terrill Burton, MOMS Oil Change is more than its acronym standing for Mobile Oil Management Solutions. As a single father, the mobile oil change business has granted him the time and financial freedom to raise his daughter.

“MOMS is like a wife for me,” he said.

His inspiration for the company came from his own struggles. He used to work long hours at a cancer research lab in California and first discussed a mobile oil change business venting to a coworker about a lack of time to service his car.

“I said I’m about to start jacking people’s cars up on the street and doing oil changes right there,” he said. “Everybody needs an oil change.”

After being let go by the research lab, Burton put his plan in action. He attended and graduated from the Los Angeles Automotive Training Center in 2003. Shortly after, he started the mobile oil change business, calling it A1 Mobile, and only running on the weekends while he worked for Ford during the week.

“It made me feel good that I was providing people with something they need,” Burton states

He wouldn’t change the name to MOMS until 2013, after moving to the east coast.

When first starting in the Philadelphia-area, Burton faced a challenging market. Unlike California, Philadelphia was unaware of the importance of oil changes and considered oil changes an emergency solution rather than regular maintenance for a car.

However, the explosion of the internet and the increase in accessible information showed Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs the importance of oil changes. This was a boom for Burton’s’ mobile oil change company.

As business picked up, MOMS became more than just a weekend gig.

“I really felt like I was missing more business when I would do the occasional weekday job,” said Burton.

He also had to learn how to run a business full time.

“When I first started, I didn’t know anything. But as I started learning, it became more fun,” said Burton. 

One of the ways Burton has grown his business is through social media. Documenting his many jobs throughout the week shows not only his dedication to mobility in service to his customers, but also his passion for helping others. He even shares posts that blend car service and comedy so if you are in need of a good laugh from time to time, make sure to follow him on Instagram @momsmobileoilchange.

MOMS Oil Change offers its customers expert service at their own convenience. From offices to residential homes, MOMS services all in need of an oil change in Philadelphia and Montgomery counties. It also offers wiper, tire, air filter and brake pad replacements.

“I really feel like I’m helping people,” said Burton.

MOMS Oil Change also values being environmentally friendly, as all used oil is properly recycled.

For the future, Burton may buy or rent a space for equipment storage, but plans to keep MOMS true to its name and conveniently mobile for its customers.   

“You can order pizza, order a ride, and order anything on Amazon. Well, now you can order an oil change,” he said.
