I always get treated kindly at take 5. I went in for an oil change a few months ago and since then i have had to get my coolant checked twice. They topped it off no problem. Answered any questions I had and were sincere

I will NEVER recommend Take 5 Oil Change to anyone again. 🙄 Their prices are ridiculous, their customer service is absolute trash, and the level of incompetence I experienced is honestly unbelievable. I even used a $30 coupon, and somehow my total STILL came out to $100! Like, are you kidding me?! 🤦♀️ What…

Nick Davis5 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Nick has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Basically paying a convince fee is this type of service center. My critiques are the price and you end up paying an extra $40 dollars for the total cost for me because I paid for more expensive oil. Sales pitch was higher price oil goes farther they stated 10,000 miles. They should give a better deal for tire rotation, or include it for that price.
Anyway, I needed an oil change, found a $30 coupon. (Pay attention though that coupon is only for top of the line oil change minimum $ 99. Nice and convenient though, It's just like Jiffy Lube, 15 min oil change and don't have to leave the vehicle. Unfortunately for me and cost purposes my Subaru Impreza uses full synthetic oil OW-20 Which is always going to be cleaner and more expensive than regular conventional oil. Service was good, the crew was younger, just need to be a bit more honest. I went ahead and spent $13 more dollars and got almost the top of the line synthetic oil change. It cost $113 minus the $30 coupon ended up $99. If you're looking for something less spendy. Try your luck at Walmart, but guaranteed you need an appointment and they take forever. But half the price of this place. I could have paid $67 for Mobile 1 high mileage synthetic there. And got my tires rotated for free because I purchased them there.
