Take 5 opens at 8 a.m. at most locations, but hours vary by store and day of the week

Take 5 is a quick-lube chain that handles oil changes, fluid top-offs, and basic maintenance without an appointment. Most Take 5 locations open at 8 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, though some open as early as 7 a.m. or as late as 9 a.m. depending on the franchise owner and local demand. Sunday hours are typically later — often 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. — and some locations close on Sunday entirely.

Because Take 5 is a franchise system, each store sets its own hours within the brand's guidelines. The store near your home or workplace may have different opening times than one across town. Calling ahead or checking online before you drive there saves a wasted trip, especially on weekends when wait times are longer.

Key Takeaways

  • Most Take 5 locations open at 8 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, but individual stores may open earlier or later.
  • Sunday hours are often 9 a.m. or 10 a.m., and some locations do not open on Sunday.
  • The fastest way to find your local store's exact hours is to search "Take 5 near me" on Google Maps or visit the Take 5 website locator.
  • Calling the store directly is the most reliable method if you need to confirm hours before heading there.

How to find your local Take 5 hours online

The Take 5 website has a store locator tool. Go to take5.com, click "Find a Location," enter your zip code or city, and the results will show each nearby store with its address, phone number, and hours of operation. Hours are usually listed for each day of the week, so you can see whether the store is open on Sunday or if it closes earlier on a particular day.

Google Maps is often faster. Search "Take 5 oil change near me" and the map will show nearby locations with their hours displayed directly on the card. If the store is currently open or closed, Google will tell you that too. You can also see customer reviews and how busy the location typically is at different times of day.

Calling the store directly

If you want to confirm hours before leaving home, call the Take 5 location directly. The phone number appears in the store locator on the Take 5 website and on Google Maps. Staff can tell you the exact opening time, whether they have a wait, and whether they can fit you in without an appointment (most locations do not require one, but busy times may have a line).

Calling is also useful if you have questions about what services they offer or whether they stock a particular fluid your vehicle needs. Some Take 5 locations offer additional services beyond basic oil changes, and the staff can let you know what is available at your store.

Typical Take 5 hours by day of the week

Weekday hours at most Take 5 locations run from 8 a.m. to between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., depending on the store. Saturday hours typically start at 8 a.m. and close between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday openings are usually 9 a.m. or 10 a.m., and some locations do not open on Sunday at all. Because franchise owners set their own schedules, the store nearest you may differ from these typical times.

If you need service late in the day or early in the morning, call your local Take 5 to confirm they are open. Closing times vary significantly, and arriving 15 minutes before closing may mean the staff cannot fit you in if there is already a line.

When Take 5 is busiest

Take 5 locations tend to be busiest on Saturday mornings and late afternoons on weekdays when people stop on the way home from work. If you want to minimize wait time, weekday mornings between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. are usually quieter. Arriving right when the store opens can also mean you are first in line, though this depends on the location.

During seasonal changes — fall and spring when people switch between winter and summer tires, or before winter when people want fluid checks — all quick-lube shops see longer waits. If you are flexible on timing, scheduling your visit during a slower period can save you 30 minutes or more.

What to bring when you visit

You do not need an appointment at most Take 5 locations, but you will need your keys and your vehicle. Bring your owner's manual if you have questions about what oil grade or fluid type your car needs, though the staff can usually look this up based on your vehicle's year, make, and model. If you have a loyalty card or coupon, bring that too — Take 5 often runs promotions for regular customers.

The service usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on how busy the store is. Most locations have a waiting area, but some are small, so you may want to run an errand nearby or wait in your car if the shop is crowded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to make an appointment at Take 5?

No, most Take 5 locations operate on a walk-in basis and do not require appointments. However, during peak times you may wait in line. Calling ahead to ask about current wait times can help you decide whether to come back later.

Are Take 5 hours the same at every location?

No. Each Take 5 franchise owner sets their own hours, so locations in different areas may open and close at different times. Always check your specific store's hours before visiting.

What if my local Take 5 is closed when I need service?

Check the store locator on the Take 5 website or Google Maps to find another location nearby that may have different hours. Independent quick-lube shops and dealerships are alternatives if no Take 5 is open when you need service.

Can I get service right before closing time?

It depends on how busy the store is. Call ahead and let them know you are coming so they can tell you whether they can fit you in before closing. Arriving too close to closing time may mean they turn you away if the queue is long.
