Hear What Our Customers Have to Say!

“After finding out my parents were out of oil and trying to keep the house warm with the fireplace, I called Don Small and explained to them what was going on. Although they were extremely busy, they dropped everything and made a delivery to my parents’ home within a couple of hours. This is a company that goes above and beyond for their customers and really cares about them. I can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for my parents!”

Doreen M.

“Fantastic prices on Aviation Oil. I’d been buying from other local FBOs and found that Small & Sons significantly beats them on pricing. The staff was friendly and attentive as well. I’ve already recommended them to my A&P and every other person I can proselytize to at Auburn Airport (S50), which is only a few blocks away. Great stuff!”

John G.

Informational FAQs

How does heating oil delivery work in the Auburn & Shelton area?

We schedule residential heating oil deliveries based on your usage, tank size and location. In the Puget Sound region we monitor demand through our delivery zones, and we’ll contact you when it’s time to refill. You can also call us to request a delivery. We maintain reliable service to keep your home warm, especially during colder months.

What do I need to consider when installing or renting a bulk fuel tank for my business site?

You should evaluate size (gallons), whether you’ll purchase or rent‑to‑own, site access for delivery trucks, local permitting and environmental compliance (spill prevention, secondary containment). We offer tank & storage programs and can guide you through site planning, installation, maintenance and fueling policies to keep your job site or fleet running efficiently.

What is card‑lock fueling and how does it benefit fleet operators?

Card‑lock fueling allows your drivers to fuel at self‑service stations or network sites using proprietary cards tied to your account. Benefits include access to multiple sites, detailed usage tracking, controlled fuel types (diesel, DEF), automated billing and fewer delivery‑only dependencies. We provide a cardlock fuel program through our network to help fleet operators in the region manage costs and logistics.

How are lubricants different from standard fuels, and why should I deal with a distributor who offers both?

Lubricants (engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids) protect equipment by reducing friction, heat and wear, while fuels provide energy for operation. A distributor offering both fuels and lubricants can provide integrated service — matching the right fuel/lubricant specification for your equipment, simplifying purchasing, ensuring product compatibility, and often offering better service support, maintenance advice and inventory management.

What are environmentally friendly fuel products, and are they suitable for use in the Puget Sound region?

Environmentally friendly products may include low‑sulfur diesel, bioblends, ultra‑low VOC heating oil and cleaner lubricant technologies. In the Puget Sound region, regulatory pressures and corporate sustainability goals mean many businesses look for cleaner fuel solutions. We supply such products and can help you assess whether they meet your performance/equipment needs, budget and local regulatory requirements.

What should a commercial fleet do to optimize fueling costs in Western Washington?

Start by analysing fuel usage patterns, types of equipment, delivery logistics, idle times and fuel quality. Choose a distributor who offers competitive pricing, reliable delivery, multiple fuel options (on‑road, off‑road), cardlock access, and preventive service support (e.g., lubricant management). In our region, proximity to delivery bases (like Auburn and Shelton) means faster service and less downtime — which can significantly affect your total cost of ownership.

How is race fuel different from regular commercial fuel, and who needs it?

Race fuel is formulated for high‑performance engines (motorsports, aviation, marine). It often has different octane ratings, additives and specifications than regular on‑road or off‑road fuels. If you operate in aviation (for example at local airfields) or in drag‑racing/track use, choosing a supplier experienced in high‑performance fuels ensures you get the correct product, safe delivery and proper handling. We supply race fuel in the region and have experience supporting motorsports clients.

What should a homeowner know about switching heating oil providers in the Pacific Northwest?

Check whether the provider services your area, delivery frequency, tank monitoring, price structure (fixed vs variable), service reliability, customer reviews, and additional services (maintenance, tune‑ups). At Don Small & Sons, we emphasise personalized service, fair pricing, and on‑time delivery — especially important in Western Washington’s cold months when you want peace of mind.
