Southbridge Tire & Oil Co.

A recent customer who has been with Southbridge Tire & Oil Co. since 1980 says it is good at cleaning the furnace, replacing the oil tank and delivering oil. The company says it was founded in 1959 by Joseph and Francis Travinski, Sr., and that a fourth generation of the family is learning the trades. Its website lists a service area of Southbridge, Charlton, Oxford, Dudley, Webster, Holland, Sturbridge, Brimfield and Brookfield. On Google it holds 4.8 stars from 229 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A 2024 customer said driver Joe had delivered their oil for many years and was always on time. A 2025 customer said the delivery drivers were respectful of their property. A 2024 customer said the company had been their heating oil, tire and landscape supplier for 45 years. The heating work goes beyond delivery. A 2023 customer who bought a new Granby boiler from the company said that when it began making loud noises, they were out that evening and took care of the problem at no charge. A 2024 customer said their old boiler got same-day service every time, which is why they had the company install the new one, and that it came in less than six hours when the new boiler needed service. A 2024 customer said the original 1969 oil tank was replaced with no mess and no dings, dents or scratches. A 2024 customer said the company changed out their furnace and oil tank and put in two heat pump systems. A 2026 customer objected that ordering oil required a credit check, a pipe inspection and an oil tank inspection. A 2024 customer said that while they asked about new customer paperwork, an employee told them "If it’s too much of a hassle then you can go somewhere else." A 2023 customer said they had to pay for an emergency service call a month after annual service to replace a part that had gone bad. A 2022 caller seeking HVAC service said they were told the company only serviced its oil customers.
