Founded back in March 1987 with an old Chevrolet Station wagon. Albert Merrill serviced the San Jose/Los Gatos area with the help of his son Glen Merrill. As business grew for the mobile lube business they needed a 'Brick and Mortar' business for the customers that didn't want to use the niche mobile facility. So three Midnight Auto Supply and Repair shops opened up in Santa Cruz, San Jose and Los Gatos.With the market for auto parts store were being saturated with Kragen Auto Supply and Grand Auto stores the three stores grew into 17 stores. A decade later Albert focused on his lube/repair business from that point on. Since retirement in 1999 with On The Spot Mobile Oil Change (formerly known as 'Mobile Mechanix') his son Glen maintained the business and renamed it to the name it is today.

In 2004 marked the official year of On The Spot Mobile Oil Change, the partnership of Johnny Kurahara and Glen Merrill brought upon online scheduling and the $9.99 Oil Change. Since the introduction of the new company name, On The Spot customers wanted minor automotive repairs done to their vehicles. While seeing the need of their customers warranted a another name change. Hence the current name change to On The Spot Mobile Oil Change & Repair. The service expanded to the Sacramento/Roseville area of Northern California. Notably in late 2005 the partnership disbanded and the corporate offices relocated to to San Francisco whereas Albert Merrill had gone out of semi-retirement and is acting chairman of the OTS Brands Franchise.
