Take 5 Oil Change

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of Take 5 Oil Change flickered on, a little dog would appear from nowhere, dashing around the parking lot and barking excitedly at the mechanics' tools. No one knew where it came from or why it only showed up after dark. One evening, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s feeding that little dog?’ A mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Beats me, but he sure loves our oil changes!’

2. At midnight, while waiting for his oil change, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they ever close.’ The mechanic, who had been listening intently, replied with a smile, ‘It’s never closed since I started working here ten years ago.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and asked anxiously, 'Hey, do you guys close?' The mechanic laughed and shook his head, 'Not tonight, brother!' As the sun rose, the old man finished his wait with a satisfied smile, knowing that Take 5 would always be there—even when everyone else went home.

3. At dawn, when the doors of Take 5 Oil Change were just opening, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does that old clock always chime exactly five minutes late?’ Mechanic John smiled knowingly. 'Ah,' he said, adjusting his glasses, 'that's because it's actually five minutes FAST. The owner likes to keep things... interesting.' Delivery driver nodded with a laugh and muttered under his breath, 'Guess I'll never be on time here!'

4. At dusk, when the neon sign of Take 5 Oil Change came alive, a small dog would appear from nowhere and sit patiently outside the door. No one knew where it came from or why it chose that spot, but every evening, right before closing time, the same tiny canine would return. One night, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in for an oil change. As he left, the little dog approached him, wagging its tail furiously. ‘Maybe you’re his owner,’ someone joked. The next day, the driver returned with a collar and a tag reading “Max, World’s Best Mechanic.” Since then, Max has been happily hanging out at Take 5, supervising repairs with a critical eye.
