About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Take 5 Oil Change for his routine service. As he walked inside, he noticed an old, rusty toolbox on the counter. Curious, he asked the mechanic what it was doing there. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s been here forever.’ Finally, the mechanic opened the box, revealing a dusty old coffee mug with ‘World’s Best Mechanic’ engraved on it. Everyone laughed, realizing it belonged to the original owner who had retired years ago. From then on, every customer got a warm cup of Joe while waiting for their oil change.
2. A regular customer named Joe walked into Take 5 Oil Change one day and exclaimed, 'I just saw something strange out front!' Curious mechanics peered outside to see an old man whispering to his tire. The mechanic shrugged, ‘He’s probably just checking for proper inflation.’ Joe shook his head, grinning: ‘Nah, he was mutterin’ somethin’ like “You’re doin’ great, old friend”!’ The crew burst out laughing—some days, cars really are their friends.
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old pickup truck drove into Take 5 Oil Change with its engine sputtering like an old grandfather clock. The mechanic looked at it with a raised eyebrow and said, 'Well, let's see what we've got here.' After a few minutes of tinkering, he emerged with a satisfied smile, announcing, 'She's good as new!' The owner of the truck, a friendly delivery driver, paid up and drove off, muttering something about needing to thank his lucky stars for that 'Take 5' magic.
4. At dawn, when most mechanics were still brewing coffee, a neighbor drove up to Take 5 Oil Change with a strange request over the intercom. "Guys,” he said, “I’ve got my car here, but I’m not sure which engine belongs to it anymore…" One of the mechanics, scratching his head, suggested, ‘Sir, why don’t you just start your car and listen for the engine note? It’s like a fingerprint!’ The neighbor replied, ‘That’s easy for YOU to say—you’re not the one who accidentally used THIS engine in YOUR truck last week!’ They both laughed, and soon enough, everything was back where it belonged.
