This Take 5 is near my neighborhood. The techs checked everything on my car. They refilled the windshield wash fluid reservoir, added air to the tires, changed the engine oil, and replaced my air filter. After servicing the car, I had them perform the annual inspection required to register the car. In all, the techs were fast and efficient. read more

I am stunned at what I just experienced. I went in for an oil change and I wanted to see if the power steering fluid was normal as the wheel has been harder to turn. After the technician completed the oil change and handed me my receipt, I asked how the power steering fluid looked. He said he hadn't checked. Then he had another technician look, and this man explained they couldn't access it and I had to go to mechanic. I asked why my printout reads that the power steering fluid was at "safe level" if they hadn't checked it. Then he along with another technician (I think his name was Korei) started become verbally aggressive with me telling me to get the hell out. Korei told me to "be a man" and check it myself. I highly recommend somewhere else to get your car serviced where you're berated. read more

My son, who has mental health issues and knows little about cars, went in for an oil change. They recognized him as an easy victim. They told him that the wipers and air filter needed to be changed. They showed him a dirty air filter, which could not have been his, since I had changed it myself a couple of months ago. I had also replaced the windshield wipers with the best wipers available a couple of months ago. They were perfect. He agreed and got a bill for $180. If you don't know exactly what your car needs and resist a fraudulent sale pitch, you are going to get robbed. read more

Prompt full service! Professional attitude! Reasonable prices! Thank You Daniel! Highly Recommended!

I asked for a premium oil change upgraded that is $87.99 plus an air filter change at $35 with about $30 in discounts, which should have been about $92 before tax. I got a whopping bill for $132.08 because the guy did a double switch and gave me an advanced full synthetic change I DID NOT request. Also, this location will try to upsell sell you on very expensive things you don't need like differential fluids etc. I like the location and the staff was fine but this was a complete swindle! read more

I've come here several times. Today I came in for oil change I was helped by Mr Daniel and Mr Justice. They were both very friendly and helpful. My car had issued me a oil warning the other day so I stopped by for oil change. Was advised I still had 1500 miles of 5000 miles left on current oil since last change. I was 2 quarts down. So the told me I must have a leak and refilled my missing oil at no charge. This is good service they could've just taken my money for oil change but they helped me out. So thank you to these two. Will be back. read more

Literally took 30 minutes to do just an oil change and it was terrible customer service.(And yes, I times it) Dont go here...EVER! And realistically I would recommend not going to "Take 5" at all if you can help it. This is the second time I've had this type of experience and the other time was a T a completely different shop. Their claim to fame is false advertisement read more

I do not recommend!!! I went yesterday, but got no service from the S. Braeswood location. The light skinned guy with the terrible teeth and tattoos was highly rude. I asked about the point in giving out $25 coupons if I'm still going to end up paying the original price. He said oh you came in with an attitude and I said no I didn't, but I got one then because who says that to the customer? I then asked to make sure my fluids were checked and he said oh we're going to do that. My response was because it wasn't done the first time I came. He said that doesn't have anything to do with us and he's telling me what they're going to do right now. I was like how doesn't this have anything to do with you when you're a representation of the company? He kept being argumentative so I told them to close my hood to which he said bet, we don't gotta do nothin' fuh you so gone on and I yelled back as I was leaving b/c he must've had me confused with someone who lets them talk crazy to them. Not me so I left and went elsewhere. read more

Arrived for a 7:00 appt I made online. No one here. (Sign out front brags about now being open at 7 am and that they are a partner of the Astros.) Finally went in and was told by a young man yeah well the manager isn't here so {shrug}. I suggested they need to change the online appointment system if they don't actually have appointments. I was told the young man couldn't do anything. I suggested he talk to his manager. He said he had but {shrug}. I asked for the name of his manager. He was silent. I said you really do have to give that information -- it's a business. He said just a minute and left the office for the bay. He's been hiding back there for 10 minutes. A customer came in to the empty office and asked if they were open. I told him the story and recommended Jiffy Lube. Just peeked in the bays. The whole place is empty. Dude just disappeared! No mechanics. read more

I had a bad experience with a previous manager here and was reluctant to come back, but I'm glad I did. He's no longer there and Daniel and Rodrick took great care of me. Super professional and got everything taken care of quickly. Great customer service, so give them an other chance if you had a bad time before. read more

I recently visited this Take 5 location and unfortunately, the service was quite slow. While I appreciated their assistance with my tire pressure, the overall experience was underwhelming. I have visited several Take 5 locations throughout Houston in the past, and this was by far the slowest. Having experienced other locations where vehicles were serviced more efficiently, it's difficult for me to recommend this particular location to others. read more

awful service and slow. way too long of a wait even if only 1 or 2 cars in front can take over an hour. staff do not give sound guidance.

The team went above and beyond today. Due to the cold weather my battery died, the team did everything to help me and they were highly helpful, motivated. I recommend this location to everyone. read more

Located next to McDonalds on Braeswood. Came here for an oil change. There were cars in front of me but the line moved fast. They check tires and top off everything and cleaned the front and back windshield free of charge. Offered me a bottled water. There was a coupon when I looked on line. So check to see if there are any deals. The guy kept taking about a tip, which I've NEVER tipped for an Oil change. So idk what he was talking about. That really annoyed me. Am I missing some thing? Am I supposed to be tipping? Nice enough folks. Good price with the coupon. Easy in and out. This will be my go to place. read more

We had a great experience. Technicians professional, very nice. We did oil change and inspection. S braeswood and hillcroft. By my husband's request we changed air filter, and something else was checked. Great check up. Thank God our car is healthy. Technicians gave us advice: come back after 3000 miles. A free check. Or top off. After another 3000 mi get the oil changed. read more

The service was speedy enough but the technician who waited on me was very rude and disrespectful. i would advise people to go elsewhere. This was for an oil change. read more

My son was just charged almost $100 for a synthetic blend oil change. And that was *after* a $20 coupon. No filters were changed. They charged him the special "high mileage" rate. Such a rip-off. They saw a sucker a mile away. I had a full synthetic oil change a week ago at Midas for $60. We definitely won't be returning. read more

I went to Take 5 for a oil change on my truck yesterday @ S Brasewood and the shield under my truck engine fell off. It is dragging when I drive. Yesterday a Lady there stopped me when I was leaving and She told me that it was loose and She went under the truck and came out and said "It is fixed now" Well I can not drive with it dragging on the concrete..... 713 -5988402 Buddy Bell I went to the Bellaire where I usually go (Take 5 on Bellaire but it was closed I was told the Manager left and took all the oil filters!! I think it is time for another oil change place. I am stranded now!!! read more

Cameron and Ro were so friendly, professional, and fast! These guys are really on their game. As a single Mom, it's really nice to be able to rely on good service from good people! Cameron had my full service done (including new wiper blades) in Less than 8 mins. (We timed it for fun!) read more

Cameron and his staff were great! They made what seemed like an annoying task after work, a funny and painless experience. I've been to multiple locations, they have the best customer service in the city! read more

I won't be coming back here. About a 45 minute wait for an oil change and cost $69. Ridiculous. The workers were joking around and playing like a couple of unsupervised puppies. Took their sweet time to service my car. Stay away. read more

The oil change was fast, a bit pricey, but a very pleasant staff. Thank you for working in such a heat!

Stopped in due to Lexus dealer being backed up. They did not have correct tool to remove oil filter. After a very long wait it finally was removed. Car was jostling a lot during removal. Took it to Lexus for follow up change. The under body belly pan was missing/destroyed. If you have a Toyota/Lexus run. They are hack job teenagers with no accountability and deny any liability. Hard to imagine they do not have a simple oil filter tool for one of the most popular motor in the world. read more

I was hesitant to go somewhere that wasn't my usual mechanic but this place is so conveniently close to me. The customer service was awesome! I stayed in my car the whole time and the techs checked my tire pressure and air filters on top of the oil change! Jason is the store manager and he was very friendly and said that I could bring my dog next time :) The whole thing took less than 30 minutes. Thank you guys! read more

This place and the corporate office are horrible. Waited 25 minutes after they took all info of my car to tell me they won't do the oil change. Asked for an inspection and told they have no inspection people. Corporate said they would rectify the situation and 2 weeks later after 3 or 4 contacts told several times they would be ready was then told I needed to drive to a different location (using my gas) to have it done... nuff said read more

HORRIBLE services! waited for a hour for a simple oil changed and watched 3-4 cars be serviced that arrived after me and still received NO OIL CHANGE! waist of time and lack of professionalism read more

Today on April 29, 2023 the manager Jamal was very respectful also quick and helpful today when I went to get my boyfriend truck a oil change today definitely recommend this place and him there's not many kind many kind people like him everyday I am grateful I came today . Thank you Jamal for being very understanding and patience you deserve a raise!!! 5 stars FOR HIM read more

Jamal and his crew were fast and efficient! Very polite and thorough! I would recommend this store and will cont back!

Really simple and effective service. They are fast and usually never have a long wait

Bring all supplies and just get charge labor for the services needed. $99 for a oil change is just plain price gouging. Changing wiper blades at $30 a pop is a rip off. Service is okay. I only come here because of convenience. read more

I'm sitting here at 9:35 AM on a Sat. Morning at the location on Braeswood and Hillcroft behind the McDonald's. I want to get a car inspection and they are open from 9 AM to 5 PM every day but the car inspection guy has not showed up yet and no one knows when he'll show up. It's just a bummer to plan to do things and the responsible person is not there to help you. read more

These guys always try to rip me off by telling me I need stuff I don't. They act like they are experts, but they are idiots. I only go there because it is close to my work. This time they told me I had to put the $95 oil in my car or the engine would be destroyed. They had 4 different guys argue with me for 5 minutes before they would start working. I had to show them the Subaru website and a Valvoline website that both confirmed the $45 oil was fine. read more

I called to see if they did inspections as well as oil changes. I was told they did but I would need appt. I was transferred to make the appt and received message to leave name and number and they would call me back. NEVER did! I think if you need inspection just skip these people! read more

Super convenient location. I'm in on a Monday for complete oil change and air filter swap. Here less than 30 minutes and about to check out. So far so good. read more

Take 5 Oil Change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Houston, Texas

The woman working there was incredibly rude, she kept waving her hands at me and refused to come over and speak to me, making me yell across the parking lot. Another of her coworkers instructed me to pull forward into the bay. And she shook her head again and motioned me to back up. I informed her that I was told to come in. She rolled her eyes and said I would have to wait awhile even though I had been waiting for 30 minutes. Because of her unprofessional attitude I will not be going back to this location. read more

Always great service here! I came to get an inspection and in the past I've had my oil changed a couple times and another inspection. Fast, friendly, courteous service. There were 3 cars ahead of me for the inspection and only one inspector and they still had me in and out in less than 1 hour. Oh and fresh AC and coffee in the waiting room. Haha! read more

The continuously advertised oil change special is $19.95 ... try and get it. My one experience there involved a 4-cylinder 2011 Toyota Camry XLE. I specifically asked for the $20 deal ... but when it came time to check out, the bill was $39. When I inquired as to why, I was informed that the XLE takes a "special" oil filter, and that additional services were performed (top-off, vacuum, etc.), none of which I requested. I stepped outside and phoned my Toyota dealer, who advised me that the 4-cylinder Camry does not require any sort of special filter, irrespective of model (all have the identical engine) ... in fact, the same one is used in many Toyota vehicles. When I confronted the manager with the information, he disputed it (despite it coming directly from Toyota service), but gave me a "break" of $3 off the bill. I reluctantly paid it, but filed complaints with the appropriate agencies. Needless to say, they've seen me for the last time. I understand up-selling, but outright lying is another matter. Can you say, "Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act?" read more

The place is convenient. For the most part I think they did everything ok and they said they topped stuff off. Only problem I have is that they filled my tires without asking and got rid of my stock valve covers for cheap plastic ones. They're about $20 and were replaced with plastic. I checked my brothers car and they did it to his to. Don't recommend going here. read more

Super nice gentlemen that work there. Mike took care of us and was very polite and professional. I was stunned when he walked in and said both my inspection and oil change were done. He wasn't kidding when he said they were the fastest in the area. I was there on a Friday around 3:45 and we were the only ones there. The big rush, they said, had been that morning. Key might be finding out their typical down times and go then. Super pleased and will return. read more

Great little shop for little things that need fixing. Love the mechanics that work here, friendly, fast and honest.
