About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old man walked into Take 5 Oil Change with something unusual under his arm—a tiny violin. The regulars watched curiously as he approached the counter and asked for an oil change. No one knew why he brought it until they heard the first strains of music coming from the waiting room. Soon enough, the entire shop was humming along to the old man's melody. A delivery driver started singing softly, a mechanic joined in on air guitar, and even the grumpy owner bobbed his head to the rhythm. When the job was done, the old man tucked away his violin and left, promising to return—with another concert next time. Ever since then, 'Take 5' became known not just for its quick oil changes but also for impromptu musical performances.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Take 5 Oil Change one afternoon and announced: ‘I’m here for my oil change, but I brought some extra parts just in case!’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Extra parts? For what?’ The delivery driver grinned and replied, ‘Just in case you miss something!’ As he left, a neighbor walked in with his own car, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll get mine done here too—better safe than sorry.’
3. Early one foggy morning, a neighbor drove up to Take 5 Oil Change with a peculiar request. "I need you to check my engine,” he said, “but only if it’s done by moonlight.” The mechanic raised an eyebrow but agreed. As dusk fell, they prepared everything under the dim glow of headlights. When the moon finally rose, its silver light illuminated the garage. The neighbor watched anxiously as the technician worked meticulously. ‘You sure this’ll be ready tonight?’ he whispered. With a smile, the mechanic replied, “Take 5, take your time—we’ve got all night!’
4. At dawn, a cat began visiting Take 5 Oil Change every Monday morning. It would sit patiently on the steps until its turn for a free inspection. One Monday, an old delivery driver arrived with a mischievous smile. ‘I brought you a present,’ he said, revealing a small can of tuna. The cat’s eyes lit up and it bounded inside, joining the line. Word spread, and soon other mechanics brought their lunchtime sandwiches wrapped in foil—just enough for the feline fan club. At Take 5 Oil Change, even cars had to wait behind the weekly Tuesday lunch break for the cat's special treat.
