Black foot prints on drivers floor
Timothy D.

Return the car to me a mess after spending more than $1000 at the shop. Black foot prints on the floor, greasy hand prints on the outside of the car around the door handle and greasy smear on the interior drivers door panel.

DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE!!!I got all new tires and wheel alignment. noticed when I got home the stick on balance weights was put on my dirty wheels. they was hanging (almost falling off) because they didn't take 1 minute to wipe the wheel surface clean. i took it back up there to fix it. they did not remove the old weights just added new ones in different locations. which tells me the wheels were never properly balanced in the first place. also the old weights they installed the first time are still loose and going to fall off in the future. after the second time I left. I called Brandyn I told him what was going on he was very RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL AND HUNGUP ON ME. I will not be back at this location. GOING TO A DIFFERENT SHOP SOON TO HAVE THEM BALANCED CORRECTLY.

Shows the original sensor for passenger airbag. The top of pic shows damage done when they took car apart to repair A/C.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! Went in for what should have been a simple A/C Repair on a Volkswagen Jetta and left with my car looking like someone intentionally ripped pieces apart. I had to take it to the VW dealership so that they could do the repair correctly and even rewire some things that the Mavis mechanic did incorrectly. Oh, and I dropped my car off in May and didn't get it back until July. They (Mavis) took the car to three different places to try and "fix" it. The pictures attached show just some of the damage. They tried to repair dash that they damaged and covered up the passenger airbag sensor because they ordered the wrong part. The manager then lied and said I knew they used the wrong part. ( Compare pics. Note one has a sensor light. After covering, one doesn't.) The on-site manager was very unfriendly and rude. (I will note that this happened in 2020. I still cringe when I drive by this place.)

These clowns used normal auto oil in my diesel truck. Caused issues that they claimed were not their fault. Stay clear of these idiots.

Crap service! My car had oil hand prints all over inside and out. Took them three hours for one tire. Go to anywhere else.

Take 5 Oil Change

(29 reviews)

My dad always do my car maintenance but this time I wanted to do my oil change. I had no idea with…read moreeverything but they're nice enough to explain things to me. They asked and offered lots of maintenance stuff while doing the oil change. They removed the air filter and the cabin filter to show me the condition and maybe to convince me that I have to buy a new one from them. However, the guy that showed it to me was honest enough to say that I don't need to change my air filter since it's not that dirty yet. Since I don't know anything, I had to call my dad and my boyfriend to get their opinions. They are car guys so they know if I have to get something changed or not. The guy offered to change my cabin filter for $40 including installation fee. My boyfriend said it was too much for $40. He said I can get a filter for $15 online and we'll just install them since it's not a lot of hard work anyway. If you know how to do oil change, it's always cost-effective to do it yourself. The service is somehow pricey but if you don't have time, bringing you car here is worth the price. It's fast and hassle-free. Tips: 1. If you don't know anything about car maintenance, always ask someone first who has knowledge with it. These people are good salesmen. Next thing you know, you're saying yes to all their offers. It's a good thing if you have funds for it. Otherwise, the extras will be hurtful to pay for. 2. As you exit, there's a sign that says "honk if you like the service" and if you do, please honk. It's nice to let them know you appreciate their service! :)

BEWARE TAKE 5 OIL CHANGE By a person who should have known…read morebetter. On April 4, 2025, at exactly noon, I pulled into a Take 5 Oil Change on Government Street, filled with tempered optimism for what I assumed would be a basic engine and differential oil change--no full spa treatment. I didn't want them whispering encouraging things to my Subaru. Just the oil, please. In and out, like a drive-thru brothel for cars. By 4:00 p.m., the car began jerking and grinding as I was on my way to New Orleans. Other cars flew past me while the poor Subaru clunked toward Grand Bay. I had the car towed home. The next day, with the kind of blind optimism usually reserved for first dates and timeshare presentations, I brought the car back to Take 5, thinking they would magically fix it with their fancy lubes and oils. The technician got back under the car for a few minutes before emerging sheepishly at my side door. He nodded solemnly and admitted on camera that "he was pretty sure the differential oil was low." He then suggested I drive it around the block. You know, like how doctors recommend jogging on a fractured leg. I did what he asked. Unsurprisingly, the car sounded like it was trying to poop out a wrench. He said he'd file a damage claim. Reader, he did not. Instead, I spent the next week chasing down someone--anyone--who would acknowledge that something had gone terribly wrong with my car. Eventually, I was passed along to Fleet Response, a third-party claims handler whose customer service seemed to be modeled on the customer service in Guantanamo Bay. They instructed me to have the car towed to a mechanic of my choosing. I chose. The mechanic said they'd obviously used the wrong oil and confirmed that Take 5 was to blame for the damage. All of it. He submitted his diagnosis directly to Fleet Response. On April 25--three weeks to the day since this whole saga began--a Fleet Response adjuster called me to say they were denying the claim, just like that. The glove didn't fit. In addition to 5 minutes of existential remonstrations, where I explained in very specific detail that the adjuster was a soulless liar whose only objective was to ruin lives for profit, I told her: --The car was in perfect condition before I took it to Take 5. --It broke down four hours after Take 5 touched it. --A professional mechanic diagnosed the problem and blamed Take 5. --There was a video of a Take 5 employee admitting there wasn't enough oil. --It only had 60,000 miles on it. But no. Fleet Response didn't see a connection. For them, the damage was just one of life's little mysteries--like crop circles or how glitter gets into everything. So, I'm sharing this as a warning: if you ever feel the urge to pull into a Take 5 Oil Change, maybe... don't. Unless you enjoy calling customer service while your car oozes fluids in your driveway and you question your faith in small miracles and large corporations.
