About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Take 5 Oil Change, a delivery driver once complained, ‘Why does it always take five minutes longer than they say?’ Ever since then, customers joke that the mechanics must be playing cards behind the counter. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked why his car was taking so long. The mechanic replied with a wink, ‘We’re just making sure your engine gets a well-deserved break.’ Since then, everyone jokes that Take 5 is where cars go for their own little vacation.

2. At Take 5 Oil Change, a sign above the counter read, 'Your engine is talking to us.' One morning, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: 'I just heard my engine whispering, "Take Five?"' That afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked, ‘Does my engine sound like it’s humming “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Sir, your engine sounds more like it’s singing old standards!’ And everyone burst out laughing.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Take 5 Oil Change one morning, frowning as he eyed the long queue of cars. He hopped out and approached the counter, muttering under his breath. Suddenly, an old poster on the wall caught his eye—‘Oil Changes Done Right or Your Engine Runs Free Tomorrow.’ The delivery driver grinned mischievously, turned around, and started his truck. ‘Done right,’ he muttered, revving the engine a few times. The next day, everyone in town was talking about how Mr. Smith’s old Cadillac seemed to purr like a kitten after its service.’}

4. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old van pulled into Take 5 Oil Change. The mechanic whistled as he saw the license plate: it spelled out ‘Fix Me Fast.’ The mechanic grinned and nodded knowingly. He popped the hood without a word, worked his magic in no time flat, and handed back the keys with a smile that said, 'Fixed you faster than you could say Fix Me Slow.' A few minutes later, the old van roared off into the morning sunrise—license plate now reading 'Happy Day!'
