Generally, I've had good experiences with Take 5, and I use them because they have convenient locations in both towns where I live--Little River and Arkansas. I recently brought in my low-mileage Nissan Armada for service before an extended trip of several thousand miles. During the oil change, some oil was spilled. The team wiped it up, added water, and mentioned I might see a drip under the car. I understand mistakes happen, and this didn't seem intentional. They also recommended a radiator flush, which I agreed to based on what they said was Nissan's recommendation. However, when I got home, I noticed more than a small drip--it was a noticeable mess under the car. In the dark, I couldn't tell if it was oil or antifreeze. Mind you this car has never had a leak, has 32,000 miles on it. I returned the next day, and Carter, the tech, was very helpful. He explained it was antifreeze, possibly from a bubble or overflow, and assured me everything was fine. Unfortunately, after getting home again, I saw more leaking. This forced me to postpone my trip a day and return the following morning. Carter and Brian inspected the car and found a hose they believed was the issue. After driving and letting the car sit, I still saw drips on my normally clean driveway. My car was fine before service, but now I've lost confidence in taking it on a long trip. I ended up using my older car with 160,000+ miles instead. Since the undercarriage wasn't cleaned, I can't tell what's new versus old residue. The owner responded to my initial post and asked me to call the manager. I called on 11/25 and spoke with Jake, the assistant manager. He took my information and said he'd pass it along. Understanding the holiday timing, I expected a short delay--but as of now I still haven't heard back. I've since had someone take the car to Nissan for a full check to confirm it's safe. My expectation was that Take 5 would address this promptly and work to make things right. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened. Two weeks later after reaching out to Take 5 as they replied to do. Still no call back from them. Nissan did have to repeat the service and clean the motor because of the mess underneath. Take 5 could very easily follow up, but they have decided not to. They appear not to be intrested in making things right. No I would not recommend this business. read more

A coworker said she goes here so I thought I'd give them a try. My experience started well but went downhill quick. They advertised that they don't pressure you but I felt nothing but pressured the entire time. Literally the whole time they were trying to up sell me to do a coolant flush. I said no the first time they asked. Then I said I'd have my husband check it. They told me to call him and just kept hounding me. Confusing me by stating pricing for that and an oil change. I just wanted to get out of there. They never checked my tire pressure. Then when I got home, I realized they didn't use my coupon and the front of my car was FILTHY from their hands... so now I also have to pay for a car wash. Giving them 2 stars just because it was quick. read more

I had my oil changed before leaving on vacation in Ohio. I got to SC and found out I was leaking oil. This crew went above and beyond to get me all squared away. The other Take5 didn't put the plug in all the way which caused the leak. I'm so thankful for this location! read more

After having my oil changed in November, the tech inserted my air filter backwards. A month later my check engine light went on. I went to Nissan to learn the air filter was incorrectly installed. I paid $803 for Nissan to correct the issue. After 2 months of contacting Take 5, I finally was reimbursed. Unfortunately, they shorted the check $50. Learning there is a Jiffy Lube in North Myrtle Beach, I will be their forever customer! Really upset and disappointed. read more

Was looking for a trustworthy reliable place and ended up taking a chance here. Pleasantly surprised! Was greeted immediately with water and guided through the process with patience and zero condescension. They were gathered around just chatting when I rolled up (no other customers were there) and was impressed when everyone sprang into action when I parked. Everyone seemed cordial and had upbeat moods which made me happy. The price was a bit high in my opinion. That said, I had great customer service, an air filter check (was explained with patience), coolant (they offered me an addition service, explained it, and didn't push me at all when I declined, tire pressure checked and filled, fluid top off, and I believe one other thing I can't recall. I think garages aren't innately bad or good. It all depends who's working. This place clearly had seasoned people leading the crew. read more

I never take my cars to fast lube places because I heard lots of stories about people that work there are not trained or they dont care about their work.Well I decided to stop at Take 5 on highway 707 to see what this business was all about.Upon entering I spoke with John who explained the process to me . Gave me a price and said he can do it right now.OK pulled into the bay and was given a cold bottle of water and the team got to work.They did a great job.The team reminded me of how we did things in the Air Force with checks and double checks on everything.Price was way lower than the dealer and top of the line products were used.Im getting too old to do my own oil changes so now I have a new home for my oil changes.Oh and they gave me a 25% veterans discount. read more

We are traveling from Arizona the Beautiful and decided to get the oil changed in our camper van the Saturday before Christmas the next day. I looked up a place that we could stay in the vehicle because we have our puppy with us and it was so cold! They opened the bay door the minute we entered the parking lot. Did I mention the wind was blowing so hard & it was so cold? Miserable... I'm going to say I have NEVER been to get my oil changed where every single person was super nice and efficient. They do a final check list an even showed us the dipstick with fresh clean oil. They went over and beyond even fixing the latch on our hood release as it wasn't staying closed completely. I highly recommend this place! read more

Take 5 Oil Change - VanTana - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Little River, South Carolina

best place to get a oil change in town. The crew here works super quick to get you in and out at a great price and value.

I had my oil changed here in August. Two weeks later the lower engine splash guard was hanging down. There were supposed to be 9 fasteners holding it in place. There were only 2 left. I replaced them with new ones. I called them and told them of the issue and they seemed genuinely concerned. I asked them to reimburse me for the replacement parts. I was told the manager would call me back. They never have. They've lost me as a customer. read more

0 stars if possible. Avoid them at all costs. Had an oil change while on vacation. Seemed to go well at first but then shortly after while driving home the A/C wouldn't blow cold air and my engine started overheating. Went straight to the dealership for an inspection. One of the Take 5 technicians disconnected the engine cooling fan. Paid $165 for the dealership to basically plug it back in. Called Take 5 to see if they wanted to make it right and they didn't care. $93 for an oil change and $165 to repair a stupid mistake. Unreal. read more

This is a great place with a great group of guys ! read more
