About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Take 5 Oil Change, a delivery driver once complained, ‘Why does it always take five minutes longer than they say?’ Since then, customers swear mechanics whisper, ‘Just one more minute…’ when you’re waiting for your car. One day, an impatient neighbor rushed in, yelling, ‘My car’s been here forever!’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Almost done, sir—just finishing up that five-minute oil change.’
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old Ford pickup pulled into Take 5 Oil Change. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, looked up from his coffee and whistled. The truck’s license plate read simply: ‘MILAGE’. Mr. Jenkins raised an eyebrow but nodded towards the lift. As he worked, the only sound was the gentle hum of machinery and occasional clicks as the odometer ticked away its mysterious miles. When done, Jenkins handed over a receipt that read: ‘Oil changed, no mileage added.’ The truck drove off with a wave from the driver—a regular who always seemed to know more than he let on. That night, over coffee, Mr. Jenkins shook his head and muttered: ‘Another day, another mystery from MILAGE.’
3. At Take 5 Oil Change, a neighbor stopped by one morning with a peculiar request. 'Can you oil my lawn mower?' he asked with a smile. ‘No problem,’ replied the mechanic with a grin. He popped open his toolbox and pulled out an old can of motor oil. After a few minutes of deftly lubricating the lawnmower, he handed it back with a flourish. ‘All done!’ The neighbor took it gratefully, then turned around—only to realize he’d been standing on a greasy spot. Everyone burst into laughter as he tried to dust off his pants.’
4. At Take 5 Oil Change, a regular growled one day, ‘Why do I always get the mechanic who’s having a bad hair day?’ A delivery driver chimed in with a smile, ‘Maybe he’s just trying out a new hairstyle!’ The mechanic overheard and called out, laughing, ‘Hey, that’s not fair—at least my tools are always well-greased!’
