About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Take 5 Oil Change, a delivery driver always arrived around lunchtime with an unusual request. He’d pull up in his truck, hop out, and ask if anyone had seen a small, furry creature darting around outside. Finally, someone would spot a tiny gray squirrel scurrying across the lot. The delivery driver would smile and say, 'Aha! That's him!' Then he’d grab a peanut from his pocket and toss it over, sending both squirrel and customers into fits of laughter. It became such a regular occurrence that Take 5 Oil Change earned another nickname: ‘Squirrel Headquarters.’
2. At Take 5 Oil Change, every Tuesday afternoon, a small dog would appear from nowhere and sit patiently in front of the door. Employees tried ignoring him, but he never moved until the last customer left. One Tuesday, an old delivery driver walked in, scratched his head and said, ‘That dog’s been here for three hours now—must be waiting for his oil change!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little guy who finally trotted off into the sunset. Since then, they say the dog only shows up on Tuesdays when the place is empty.
3. At Take 5 Oil Change, every Wednesday morning, a strange humming sound could be heard just before customers’ cars were finished being serviced. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his routine check-up. As he sat waiting, curious about the mysterious noise, the mechanic leaned over and whispered, 'That's just our secret Wednesday song.' Turned out, it was the radio tuned to some old jazz station—only played on Wednesdays—and everyone in town knew about it.
4. At Take 5 Oil Change, every Thursday night, a mysterious voice over the intercom announced in perfect Russian: ‘Your engine is singing a little tune today.’ Mechanics would look at each other puzzled until they realized no one had booked any cars for repair. One Thursday, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked nervously, 'Is it true you speak Russian?' The mechanic shrugged and replied, 'Only when my customers do.' Turns out, the old man was just practicing his language skills before visiting family back east.
