Take 5 Oil Change

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, a delivery driver pulled up to Take 5 Oil Change with an unusual request. "I need you to check something,” he said, “but don’t tell anyone.” The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded discreetly. After a quick inspection, he leaned back and grinned. 'Just as I thought,' he whispered. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Mr. Johnson’s antique clock now kept perfect time—thanks to some clever oiling.

2. At midnight, when Take 5 Oil Change was already closed for the day, a delivery driver noticed an eerie humming sound coming from under the hood of one of the cars. Curious but cautious, he peered inside and found nothing unusual—until he smelled something sweet yet strange, like freshly baked cookies mixed with gasoline. The delivery driver shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him. Just then, another familiar scent wafted through—they swore they smelled chocolate chip cookies baking in the shop next door. Turns out, it wasn’t just their car that needed attention—it was also time for a visit to their favorite cookie lady across the street.

3. At sunset, when the last customers had left, an old toolbox appeared on the Take 5 Oil Change parking lot. Nobody claimed it, and every morning it grew a little odder—tools from different eras, a vintage thermos, even a notebook filled with cryptic notes. One day, a delivery driver found an antique coffee cup in the box. He took it home and soon discovered that whenever he drank from it, his car started purring like new. The legend spread, but no one ever dared ask for the cup—it was said to belong to ‘the mechanic who never existed.’

4. At sunrise, while the rest of the town slept, a delivery driver pulled up to Take 5 Oil Change with a mysterious package marked ‘Open Immediately’. The mechanic opened it curiously and found inside an old oil can with a note: 'Use this on your busiest day.' Months later, during a particularly hectic week, they poured its contents into the shop's machinery—and suddenly everything ran smoother than ever before. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Take 5 for their oil changes.
