Take 5 closes at different times depending on the location and day of the week

Take 5 is a quick-lube chain with hundreds of locations across the United States. Most Take 5 stores operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, but these hours vary significantly by location. Some stores open as early as 7 a.m., while others stay open until 7 p.m. A few locations in high-traffic areas may have extended hours.

The only reliable way to find your specific store's closing time is to look it up directly. Take 5's website has a location finder where you enter your zip code or city, and each store listing shows its exact hours. You can also call the store directly — the phone number appears in the location results — and ask about today's closing time or whether they can fit you in before they close.

Holiday hours often differ from regular hours. Many Take 5 locations close early on certain holidays or operate on reduced schedules. If you are planning a visit on a holiday, call ahead rather than assuming standard hours explore.

Key Takeaways

  • Most Take 5 locations close at 6 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on weekends, but hours vary by store.
  • The Take 5 website location finder shows the exact closing time for any specific store near you.
  • Calling the store directly is the fastest way to confirm they can serve you before closing time.
  • Holiday hours often differ from regular hours, so check ahead if you plan to visit on a holiday.
  • Most Take 5 locations do not require an appointment, but arriving close to closing time may mean a longer wait or a turned-away customer if the queue is full.

How to find your nearest Take 5 and its hours

Go to the Take 5 website and use the "Find a Location" tool. Enter your zip code, city, or street address. The results will list all Take 5 stores within a set radius, along with the full address, phone number, and hours for each one. Hours are usually listed as a range for each day of the week — for example, "Mon–Fri: 8 a.m.–6 p.m., Sat–Sun: 8 a.m.–5 p.m."

If you do not have internet access or prefer to speak to someone, call Take 5's customer service line. They can tell you the hours of the nearest location and may also be able to answer questions about wait times or services offered at that store.

What happens if you arrive close to closing time

Take 5 locations typically stop accepting new customers 15 to 30 minutes before the posted closing time. This gives the staff time to finish serving the last customer and clean the bays before they leave. If you pull in at 5:45 p.m. and the store closes at 6 p.m., you may be turned away, even though the posted hours say 6 p.m.

The exact cutoff varies by location and how busy the store is. A slow afternoon might mean they will take you right up until closing time. A busy day might mean they stop accepting customers at 5:30 p.m. for a 6 p.m. close. Calling ahead is the safest approach if you are cutting it close.

Take 5 services and how long they typically take

Take 5 specializes in oil changes, which usually take 10 to 20 minutes. They also offer tire rotation, fluid top-offs, and filter replacements. Most visits are completed in under 30 minutes, though the time varies based on how busy the store is and what services you request.

If you are planning to visit near closing time and need multiple services, call ahead to confirm the store can fit you in. A straightforward oil change is more likely to be completed before closing than a full tire rotation plus other work.

Seasonal and holiday hours

Take 5 locations typically operate on reduced or modified hours on major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Independence Day. Some stores close entirely on certain holidays, while others stay open but with shorter hours.

The best way to confirm holiday hours is to call the specific location you plan to visit or check the Take 5 website a few days before the holiday. Do not assume that a store will be open on a holiday just because it is normally open seven days a week.

Planning your visit to avoid long waits

Take 5 locations are typically less busy on weekday mornings and early afternoons. If you can visit between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, you are likely to be in and out quickly. Weekends and late afternoons tend to be busier, and you may wait 30 minutes or longer.

If you know you need an oil change or other service, visiting early in the week gives you the best chance of a short wait and ensures you will not be rushed by an approaching closing time. Some Take 5 locations offer online scheduling or text reminders, so check the website to see if your store has these options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make an appointment at Take 5?

What if I need service but the store is about to close?

Call the store and explain what you need. If it is a quick oil change and they are not too busy, they may be able to fit you in. If they cannot, ask about their opening time the next day or whether another nearby location has later hours.

Are Take 5 hours the same at every location?

No. Hours vary by location, day of the week, and season. A Take 5 in a busy shopping center may have different hours than one in a smaller town. Always check the specific store's hours before you visit.

Do Take 5 stores close for lunch?

Most Take 5 locations stay open throughout the day without a lunch break. However, individual stores may have different policies, so if you are unsure, call ahead to confirm they will be open during the time you plan to visit.

What should I do if my local Take 5 has inconvenient hours?

Use the location finder to search for other Take 5 stores nearby. You may find one with hours that work better for your schedule. If no Take 5 location is convenient, you can also look for other quick-lube services in your area that may have different hours.
