About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Take 5 Oil Change #1052, he noticed something odd: a faint humming sound like distant bees followed him inside. The mechanic shrugged it off, but every customer since then claimed to hear it too—like an invisible orchestra tuning up in the background. Finally, one day after closing, the owner decided to investigate and found nothing but old radios from the ’80s hidden behind the counter. Turned out they were playing ‘Take Five’ on loop—and now everyone came for the music, not just oil changes!
2. One day, while waiting for his oil change, a regular asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they ever accidentally mix up cars here?’ Suddenly, an old delivery driver leaned over and whispered with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Oh, believe me, buddy, once I came back for my truck and found it painted bright pink!’ The regular laughed heartily, realizing that Take 5 might be more fun than he thought.
3. While waiting for his routine oil change, an older gentleman leaned over and whispered to the mechanic: ‘Do you ever notice how many celebrities come in here?’ The mechanic smiled knowingly but shook his head. ‘Only if they drive a Prius,’ he quipped under his breath. The old man chuckled, satisfied with the answer, as he settled back into his seat to wait for his service.
4. While waiting for his oil change, a regular glanced out the window and exclaimed, 'Hey, look at that—this old sign keeps flipping between “Open” and “Closed.” Whoever’s inside must be having quite the fun!' A delivery driver walked in, looked around, then asked curiously, ‘Isn’t it usually “Out of Order”?’ A mechanic popped his head out from under a hood and yelled back, ‘Nah, just Take 5 on autopilot!’
