Do I need car insurance to get an oil change in Minnesota?

I am 18 years old and I just got my first car. I need to do a little work on the car for it to be road-worthy, and I want to take it for an oil change. Do I need insurance to be able to do that?

You don’t need insurance to get an oil change, but you do need insurance to legally drive it to the mechanic’s shop.
Pro tip: If you are not ready to start your
car insurance
policy just yet, check to see if a mobile mechanic would come to you for the oil change. Otherwise, it is safer to get it towed to the shop.
