Evaluating 1,087 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Consumers consistently highlight the exceptional service, noting that phone interactions and online ordering are smooth, straightforward, and handled by polite and courteous staff. Furthermore, people frequently mention that deliveries arrive quickly and reliably, with drivers often going above and beyond to ensure tanks are filled properly.

10/10 for Scottish Fuels coming to make my oil delivery today. Wife was worried about running out while I was off the island (Isle of Lewis) so I asked if they could make the delivery early and they did. Great that they have an office on the island who are so helpful & accommodating. Cannot fault the service from the local office or the delivery drivers.

The oil delivery was on time and delivered without any problems. We however had to pay before we received the delivery because we had not ordered oil for a while. As a long standing customer it would have been nice to be recognised as such

Prompt delivery…

My oil tank was topped up the day after I ordered (almost 700 litres), sooner than most deliveries, so maybe not so busy with the high prices. I had decided to go ahead with a full top-up in spite of the cost.
