Take 5 Oil Change

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his oil change, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the garage doors. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Curious, he peeked inside and saw a delivery driver frantically waving from under the hood of another car. Turns out, it was just his imagination playing tricks on him—until he realized everyone else was laughing so hard they were crying. The moral? Sometimes, waiting for an oil change can be more entertaining than expected.

2. While waiting for her oil change, a regular exclaimed, ‘I thought I heard someone singing “Take 5” in here!’ The service advisor just smiled and shook his head. Another customer, a delivery driver, chimed in: ‘Yeah, and it sounded like they were doing a jazz trio!’ Just then, an old man from the next bay called out: ‘Hey, that’s not music—those are my dentures clicking together!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the mechanic who’d been pretending not to hear anything.

3. While waiting for his tire rotation, a regular glanced up and saw something peculiar—a small bird had built its nest right inside one of the air compressors. The mechanic whistled as he watched it flap around, then announced with a straight face, ‘Sir, your vehicle’s maintenance will be delayed—we’ve gotta wait until little Mr. Nestle here finishes his morning routine.’ The customer laughed, shook hands with the mechanic, and said, ‘Take your time, bud. I’ll just grab some coffee while you’re working.’

4. While waiting for his oil change, a regular leaned closer to listen intently as he heard an unusual clicking sound coming from behind the counter. Everyone else seemed oblivious, but it grew louder with each passing minute. Finally, an employee noticed and asked what the fuss was about. Turned out it was just an old delivery driver humming an old tune while tapping on the counter—completely unaware of the attention he’d drawn. Everyone laughed, and the regulars teased him good-naturedly for the rest of the day.
