With a promotional half-price coupon in hand that I received in the mail, I went here May 2025, soon after they opened. Of course they were generous with half-price coupons, because their price of $90 was twice what most quick lube businesses charge. They replaced the gasket and plug for the oil pan, as some lube businesses often do. Problem was, the gasket and plug were the wrong size. Oil leaked daily onto my garage floor. That sometimes happened soon after oil changes I guess because of overfill, but usually stops within a few days. I was patient, waited a week, still leaking. Another week, again still leaking. Thir week, still dripping. Finally, I decided to return to them, but Norwich is out of my way, so I waited another week for when I would be in the area anyway. The polite and honest staff member admitted to me that the gasket and plug were the wrong size. Repeat, he admitted to me that the fault was theirs. To replace them, the oil had to be drained and replaced. His supervisor very rudely told me I should have returned to them immediately rather than a month later, so he demanded that I pay for another oil change. Being trapped inside their garage, I was in a poor position to refuse, so we negotiated I pay just for the price only of the oil, which after tax came to $29. In other words, the coupon-discounted price of an oil change elsewhere. This unpleasant experience happened in May 2025, and here it is August 2026. I waited this long to chronicle my unfortunate experience because of a conversation I had yesterday with my usual car mechanic, who is both highly skilled and totally trustworthy. He told me that he remedied two of his other customers from the Norwich Take 5's incompetence for not having sufficiently tightened the oil filter, which caused continual oil dripping. Sound familiar?

We had a very good vehicle service experience at Take 5 Stratford. We had two vehicles serviced -…read moreone GM full size van, and a Honda sedan - and we were very pleased and impressed with the experience. They are a LOT more reasonable price-wise on oil changes and the associated service items, as compared to car dealerships, by around a factor of 3x, which is remarkable. I'd say they are pretty comparable price-wise to the other places that specialize in basic service items such as oil changes, but they come in at around 1/3 the price of dealerships - which is unbelievable but true. It's a very clean and pleasant facility. They give you several choices of the grade of oil you want to buy, and explain them clearly - although the price signage could be a little more clear. The staff is knowledgeable, very professional, and friendly. Overall, excellent.

Update: After about a month of multiple back-and-forth conversations, the company ultimately…read moreprovided me with a refund and contributed funds toward cleaning up my driveway. I appreciate that they worked to resolve the issue, even though it took longer than I had hoped. After my daughter's oil change, her car started leaking oil. We brought it back and within five minutes we were told everything had been checked, everything was fine, and the car was safe to drive. Unfortunately, because the car wasn't parked in one place for very long, we had no idea it was still leaking. It wasn't until the car sat in our driveway for three days that we discovered it was continuing to leak oil. By then, she had already driven the vehicle all the way from Connecticut to North Carolina with the leak. Brand-new driveway covered with a big oil stains. We took the car to our local Take 5 in North Carolina, where they found the problem almost immediately: the Connecticut location had failed to install the gasket on the drain plug during the oil change. Mistakes happen, but what is unacceptable is that we recognized there was a problem, brought the car back, and were reassured that everything was fine after only a few minutes. That reassurance led to a 600+ mile drive with an active oil leak. This could have caused catastrophic engine damage, and instead it left us with a damaged brand-new driveway. This wasn't just an honest mistake it was a failure to properly diagnose and correct a problem that they created after we specifically returned because the car was leaking oil. Extremely disappointing service and a preventable situation that never should have happened.
