The guys that work here are great, they don't push me to buy things after I've already said no. And when they do reccomend things to me they always explain why. Prices are good for how fast you're in and out of the place. I take both of my trucks to this location and I'm in and out within 15 minutes. I get Noa just about everytime I go and he's a great guy. I love that they greet you with an ice cold water, great for these 100+ days. read more

I came back my check engine light came on and i knew my oil change was past due so i figured it was that. Anyway, i pulled right in and they started immediately asking for the veh info then giving the oil change options. I got the basic. They were def as fast as advertised. The only down side here is that they do try to upsale you on anything and everything while they have you; and it seems like the prices are a bit high. I bought an engine filter and it was almost $30. But again, they were fast. I was in and out. Oh, and my check engine light didn't go off after the oil change. The issue was that my gas cap wasn't on properly :/ read more

Beware of this location! My daughter took her car in and specifically asked them to just check her oil level and top it off if necessary, she had the oil changed recently and her engine is burning oil. She fully expected to pay for 1-2 QTs of oil. In the meantime they told her they wanted to check her cabin filter, she declined and they insisted it was a courtesy check. They then removed the filter and broke it and then told her she needed to replace it and it would cost $50....but they'll give her a coupon for $20 off. She declined and they forced it back in. Then they proceeded to do a full oil change and charged her $109 dollars!! They took advantage of a female college student who gave them specific instructions to just add what was needed. She expected $25-30 but was hit with a service she did not ask for. She reluctantly paid it as she did not know what else to do. When I tried calling the location their phone goes to a full voicemail box. I called their CS number and was on hold for 40 mins before I finally spoke with someone. They tried calling while I was on the line with them and they got no answer as well. They assured me that they would contact the district manager and I will get a call within 5-7 business days. Unacceptable customer service on so many levels. read more

I brought my vehicle to Take 5 Oil Change Store #202 for a routine oil change. After the service, I discovered that the air filter housing was not properly resecured--the screws were stripped, and the box was left partially open. As a result, leaves and debris were sucked into my intake and pressed against the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, which could easily lead to performance issues or engine damage. I submitted photographic evidence clearly showing: Minimal rust on the screws (threads were visible and intact), Stripped plastic embedded in the screw, indicating over-torquing during reassembly, Leaves and debris inside the intake area. Despite this, my claim was denied. The company pointed to "wear and tear" and "heat cycles" of a 2007 vehicle as the cause, rather than addressing the technician's failure to properly resecure the air filter box or alert me to any issue at the time of service. Their own video apparently shows the technician "checking" the housing, which contradicts the condition I found immediately after. To date, I've received no resolution. I've been invited to submit a mechanic's diagnostic report to continue the dispute--something I'm in the process of doing. This was a simple job that turned into an avoidable issue due to carelessness. If you bring your vehicle here, I highly recommend double-checking their work before driving off. read more

Do not. I repeat. DO. NOT. DO NOT! Ever go to this location especially if you don't know how to fix your car, they will completely mess up the most simple job in the world. An oil change. After a long days of hard work the last thing I wanted to do was get under my car and change my oil. So unfortunately I decided to go to Take 5 (more like take $100 and mess your car up) to get an oil change. This location is full of trashy looking, lazy, incompetent and blatantly oblivious employees. They not only managed to not tighten my drain plug (the single bolt that drains the oil out.) but also put the wrong size oil filter on. I'm glad I'm so observant, after my hour drive home I noticed a substantial oil spot under my car that had pooled up after only 5 minutes of being parked. I put my car up on my lift and lone behold these ldiots left my drain plug half way out. Mind you I have a new car so there has never been a leak or any build up under the car but now the whole thing is caked in oil and dirt. Could you believe this cost me $100 to get the oil change, 3 hours of my time, $60 in new oil because I was nearly empty when I got home, $10 for a new oil filter and a $30 drain plug because mine got cross threaded. I'm very upset. I hope someone from corporate can please resolve this issue for me. I'm now out about $200 and 3 hours of my time. read more

I have (had) been taking all of my company vehicles to Take5 under a fleet account for some time. This location stripped out my oil drain plug on my personal truck on my last visit. No issues with the previous oil change at another Take5 location, yet claim was denied stating oil drain plug issue was previously noted. No response or resolution from corporate. I am now forced to pay $1,460.00 to replace the oil pan because the drain plug is so stripped out, it won't stop leaking. Our legal department will be taking action, but if you do not have access to the proper legal resources you may want to get your oil changed elsewhere. The really puzzling part is that all that they had to do was offer to pay for the damage and all was forgiven. Now they will face legal action and have lost ALL of our future business. No accountability, stay away from this company! read more

Excellent customer service! Professional and welcoming. This location is the only location I will go to from now on. A+!

I sent my daughter up there to have the oil changed in her Honda. They charged her $138 for an oil change and windshield wipers. Told her she was extremely low on coolant and that it would be $130 I hate when automotive service places are dishonest and try to take advantage of young women especially college students who do not have any money. I have called the corporate office and found out Omar's the manager at this location, but when I tried calling this location's phone number, it says their voice mailbox is full... Obviously this is not a location that is worried about customer service or cares about the Customer. Buyer beware... Do not use this location no matter what you do. read more

I don't usually played the part to leave bad reviews But this time I needed too. I went for the change, then I realized they didn't put the click and the cover fall half off And I was on my way to Houston. I went there when I came back And let them know what happens They put another thing and then told me they didn't do that because they don't need to take out the cover for the oil exchange, and there I know the lie to me in my face, because because they thought, I'm a woman and I don't know about cats, I know my car, and I know the need to remove that cover because My friend is the one to do the oil exchange all the time and I see the process. Sadly this time I didn't have my friends available But I never go again to that place. read more

I've used this location in the past and they had great service and were quick. Today was awful. Victor was nothing short of combative and argumentative with me for no reason. Questioning literally everything I told him-from mileage on my car to if I'd been to that location before. Every interaction we had he was argumentative and negative. Clearly didn't want to be there and certainly didn't ever want me to go back. The oddest experience. Wasn't looking for a fight, just an oil change. read more

one of the girls there with the long nails and glasses had the worst attitude towards me when i just pulled in. if you're unhappy then take it out on yourself not others. read more

This place is ridiculous. They don't tell you when there is a potentially dangerous issue going on in your car. They type some random acronyms on the receipt in a random space and expect you to know that your panel is going to partially fall off on I-35 with your children in the car. F' them. Don't support them. read more

Extremely rude and service was awful. I would highly recommend going somewhere else for your vehicle. I went to get an inspection done and they said I couldn't because Hays isn't my home county. I am also a student, which I am allowed to get an inspection if I live here full time and my vehicle primarily stays here (which I do). I was able to clarify and have it done but one of the gentlemen was especially rude and aggressive towards me. read more

Ricardo was great to us! He let us know what exactly needed fixing and when. He showed us what a new air filter looks like compared to the nasty one we had. He was very patient with us and our many questions that we had (I know nothing about cars). Also his customer service skills are great! Him and his team were so nice and helpful! I recommend going here every single time! read more

Went in on a Saturday and was acknowledged and helped quickly. Victor was very friendly and helped me get my vehicle inspected. I was given a water even though it was a short wait and only paid $7. Great! read more

Tyler was amazingly helpful, thanks! He helped me look under the hood and think through another problem i'm having with my car.

They have the rudest employees and I heard them say to each other they had to scam me for something. So bad I just had to drive off.

I do not recommend this Take 5 AT ALL. Most Take 5's are awesome but this one is not. They are slow, they don't go in order, and two people have to work on one car at a time?!! I was there almost an hour for a five minute fix. I was skipped, and ignored. Do not go here. read more

Best kill service in town without a doubt. No one else could get me In because my car was yo low or they were to lazy to to it. Very pleased with their customer service here. read more

i pulled up to get my car inspected and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. the guys were all so friendly and they even gave me an ice cold water bottle which i thought was so kind!! i will 100% be using this location in the future :) read more

I couldn't get my state inspection when I requested to get one. I was told that I registered in another county and only have to get inspected in that particular county. I went to another car shop and I immediately got an inspection. Because I'm a TxState student, he allowed me to register here. I'm disappointed in Take 5 with the communication error because it doesn't make sense for me to go to another city just to only get my inspection. read more

I don't make it a practice to rate every place I go to, but this place goes above and beyond. Super fast, extremely professional. Quite a change from most oil change places. Want a no hassle, friendly oil change, and other services too? This is the place. read more

I've never had my oil changed so fast and while sitting in the drivers seat of my car. Damien and Daniel provided great customer service and even greeted me with a cold water bottle upon arrival. I was provided a full service checklist and they went over everything with me which made me feel so well taken care of. Friendly conversation, great service, fair prices, and best part: I didn't have to get out of my car! Highly recommend! I will be back! read more

Excellent service! In and out in minutes. I almost want to take away a star because they were too fast I didn't even finish mindlessly scrolling through my social media. Thanks so much! Y'all keep up the great work!!!! I told my husband, we are never getting the oil changed at Walmart again. read more

I have used this oil place before, and it had good customer service. I went there today and the guy was raising his voice at me and came off rude to me and flat refused to help me because he saw oil on my engine and said that was a liability for him. He was rude enough that I was crying. So, I took my car to the dealership where my son in law is a mechanic. He checked it out and I needed a gasket. read more

I only take my vehicle to take 5. They are affordable and most importantly they make me feel comfortable to be there. From the down to earth people that work there to the free water, everything about take 5 is great. read more

I came to get an oil and was very well taken care of. It was quick and easy! The men who helped me were very communicative and explained to me exactly what they were doing and what I needed, and they were very friendly. read more

I never had the experience of just driving up and having the car worked on as we sat in it. I happen to have my toddler in her carseat so it was nice not having to get out. The customer service was refreshingly old fashioned the guys were all so polite; I was given a bottle of water while waiting. The wait was short and the quick service was thorough, I was informed about my air filter needing a change but did not feel pressured to get it changed right then. I received complimentary washer fluid and my tires were aired up. I was even shown my oil stick as confirmation that my oil was changed to a standard level. Interacting with the customer while you work on their car is a kind gesture I appreciate. Impressive business model Take 5! read more

I swear every-time i go they are always busy but they still do there best to get you in and out fast! I always go to this location to get my oil changed. They are super helpful and give me directly what I need. Isiah is super nice and a great worker. He even cleaned my windows for me after my oil change was done. Highly recommend this location for great service and a quick oil change! read more

Friendly and fast service, but overpriced for what you get- or rather dont. You're better off saving your money by going elsewhere where they'll also check your tire pressure, change your airfilter, and take a minute to make sure your car is good to go. Although as others have said, you can hang out in the comfort of your car with a complementary bottle of water. So if you're not picky and in a hurry this is the place for you. read more

I don't normally write these reviews but i am quite RATTLED. My boyfriend came to this location last Saturday 7/10/21 and left as if everything went fine. He works overnights and this morning at 6am after his shift he calls me and says HIS CAR BROKE DOWN on I-35 near Austin and he had to push it into a parking lot quite far. He said that he analyzed his situation and checked under the hood to see what what was going on. Nissan Altima 2018 - said it had NO OIL in the engine and shut down. This could have been very dangerous and potentially a $20K bill if the engine had been ruined. Got the car taken to the Nissan Dealership where they gave him an oil "change" (put oil in his car) and inspected his car. They said we got lucky the car wasn't RUINED. On top of all this he called the store at 7am yesterday morning for some understanding and compensation - was told the manager was not there and that they would have to review cameras.. He went back in today at 7am when they opened and the "manager" said that they couldn't "figure out where the oil went" and that they MIGHT be able to give him a refund if he jumped through all these loop holes for them. It was also mentioned that the cameras were not "clear" so he wasn't sure what happened... VERY UPSET with this situation and not sure how they FORGOT to put the oil INTO HIS CAR.. Yeah.. Can't say I would recommend this business at all. read more

This location is FLAWLESS. I've been meaning to write a review for a while and just kept forgetting, but wow! They are always so nice and professional. I have a Toyota hybrid which most people don't know much about but these people know exactly what to do. They check all my fluids, tires, and even clean my windshield. I always leave honking like a maniac because of their amazing service. Thank you guys so much! See you next time!! read more

The people who work here are awesome!! Super friendly and get the job done quicker than any oil change place I've been to. Love that you don't even have to get out of your car and they bring you water! read more

I will never go anywhere else. I trust these guys to give me quality service and not over sell me. They are so nice as well! Always smiling and friendly. read more

This place is awesome! These guys let you sit in your car and change your oil quickly. They even fill your air, wash your windshield, and bring you an ice cold water. Lee was great at explaining my car to me without making me feel dumb or pressured to buy anything. I will definitely always get my oil changed here! read more

Never seen people move so slow in my life. This place takes way too long to do something so simple.
