About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his oil change, an old man noticed something peculiar: every time he sat in his car at Take 5 Oil Change, his dog started behaving oddly—whimpering and staring intently at the ceiling vent. Curious, the old man asked the mechanic what was up with that vent. The tech shrugged and said it was probably just a rat nest. As they finished the job, the dog stopped whimpering—and so did the old man's car. Turned out, Take 5's air vents were like a canine comedy show.

2. While sitting in Take 5 Oil Change’s waiting room one afternoon, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, anyone ever notice how fast those mechanics work when they clean up after themselves?’ A guy from next door walked in and said, ‘You know, I always wondered why they never miss a beat when cleaning up oil spills right before customers come out.’ The delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Probably because it’s company policy to keep the place presentable—even if that means using magic wands!’

3. While standing in line at Take 5 Oil Change, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you think they can tell if I’ve been driving with that noisy tire?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench and replied with a smile, ‘Don’t worry, man. We don’t judge here—just your engine’s health. If it passes, you’re golden!’ A delivery driver behind them laughed and added, ‘And if not, they’ll just make you feel better anyway.’

4. While sitting in Take 5 Oil Change’s waiting room one day, a delivery driver swore he heard someone humming classical music under their breath—only it wasn’t coming from any of the customers. The delivery driver leaned closer, trying to catch a glimpse of who was singing. Finally, an old man with grease-stained overalls walked out, muttering, ‘It’s just my new favorite tune from that radio show.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it had been him all along—a regular whose taste in music was as unique as his cars.
