As a first-time customer, I was disappointed with my experience. I scheduled an inspection and was…read moretold it would take about "half an hour." I understand that automotive work can sometimes take longer than expected, but after an hour and a half I had to ask for an update because no one had communicated the delay. I noticed on the front desk computer that I was entered into the system as a drop-off, even though I was waiting for my vehicle. I always wait during appointments, and if that impacts how service is prioritized, it should have been confirmed when scheduling. I also noticed there appeared to be either a misunderstanding or scheduling issue with another customer who had an appointment after mine, which raised concerns about how appointments were being managed. When I asked for an update on the timing, the response I received felt dismissive. The employee responded that "nothing is ever a half an hour, not here, not any shop." I understand that estimates can change and that inspections may take longer than expected, but my concern was not that it took longer--it was that I was given an estimate, waited significantly beyond that timeframe, and had to ask for an update myself. The employee told me he would check on the timing and get back to me, but I did not receive an update afterward. Instead, he returned to the office and continued working with vehicles. Another employee also said he would check on the status and where the first employee was at, but I did not receive an update from him either. A simple update or revised timeframe would have gone a long way. The inspection, which was quoted at approximately 30 minutes over the phone, ultimately took about two hours and cost around $100. The findings included recommended back strut replacement, brake fluid service, and a battery replacement, with an estimated total of around $1,760. They also identified a bent rim, but I did not appear to receive a quote for that item despite requesting one. I have no doubt that their technicians have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and repair vehicles, and that expertise has value. However, expertise does not replace the need for clear communication and respect for a customer's time. I was hoping for a shop that values the customer's time as much as their own. Given this experience, along with pricing that appears to be higher than other shops I have compared in the area, I am uncertain whether I will return for future service. I hope the shop improves its scheduling process and communication with customers when delays occur. ******* Edit in response to their Google review commentary: It's worthwhile to note the company response below essentially argues pricing (which was never contested as explained in my above review). The pricing was provided for other individual's knowledge of business pricing and a stated reason for hesitation in repeated business. There was no argument to the state of the car either-- it's at a shop as it needs repair. I went to one other business, not multiple as was stated in person and over the phone-- indicating a lack of clarity again with notation on client accounts more publicly-- and and was quoted half an hour of my time with no updated timeline despite two requests to one staff member as well as the owner, Jesse, who just walked away. The Argumentative and dismissive responses on the stated concerns in the severe lack of timing and communication are what have just ensured I do not return to this establishment and suggest others take a closer look at what shop they choose for the work on their vehicles.

They're honest, efficient, incredibly knowledgeable, and they never try to upsell you or take advantage of you. They tell you exactly what your car needs, nothing more, nothing less and they get the job done quickly without sacrificing quality.

I appreciate the value in staying inside of my car as well. Pricing is competitive given that it's a turn key service, and came with a complimentary water. The shop itself is spotless. That alone tells you what kind of operation they run. Everything from start to finish was efficient and smooth. I don't often leave reviews, but this experience was too solid not to acknowledge. I'll only be bringing my vehicle here from now on.

Everyone was friendly, professional, and efficient from start to finish. They completed my oil change quickly, but what really impressed me was that they took the time to point out that my key fob battery was getting low before it became a problem. The biggest surprise was when I mentioned I had been struggling to reconnect my phone to my car's Bluetooth. The manager came out, took a look, and had it connected in less than two minutes! That level of customer service went far beyond what I expected during a routine oil change. It's rare to find a business that's not only fast and knowledgeable but also willing to help with something completely unrelated just because they care about their customers. I truly appreciated the extra effort and kindness. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this team!

Definitely a mixed bag with this place. I've been twice…read more The first visit went smoothly. I had read reviews saying they try to upsell unnecessary services, so since I had just changed my air filter the week before, I was ready to push back if they tried to sell me a new one. To their credit, the tech checked it and told me it didn't need replacing, which was a nice surprise. The oil change itself was quick, hassle-free, and I only waited about 10 minutes before getting into the bay. The second visit also seemed fine at first. The oil change was fast, there was no major upsell pressure, and I left without any obvious issues. But about two days later, I noticed my heat shield was dragging on the ground while I was driving, which was not great. That stood out because I've never had a problem with the heat shield before. On my car, the heat shield has to be loosened or removed to access the oil drain area. I can't say for certain that Take 5 forgot to reinstall it or put it back incorrectly, because I can't prove that. But when a part that had never given me trouble suddenly comes loose right after an oil change where it had to be handled, that connection is pretty hard to ignore. You obviously can't have a dragging piece of metal potentially rip off while driving and damage another car or hurt someone, so I needed to have this fixed immediately. This was a pretty massive inconvenience, as I had to drop what I was doing (going to work) to swing by the dealership to have them fix the issue. Overall, I probably won't be back and will stick to going to the dealership for oil changes moving forward, strictly for peace of mind, knowing that the dealership exclusively handles my make. However, on a positive note, I will say that the convenience of not having to get out of your car and getting in and out with brand new oil in under an hour is hard to beat.

They told me no I was good for about another 2000 miles. They're honest and I really appreciate how nice and easy it was. They have my permanent business while I I'm living down here in Phoenix
