Over the years the mechanics have changed and I still always get great service. The guys and women are always very pleasant. I don't know much about cars and I never feel like I need to when I come here, they let me know what I need to know and always keep it easy to understand and I never feel like they are trying to sell me stuff I don't need.

I've always had great experiences at Express Oil Changes. I'll begin with a caveat: if my car needs…read moreanything more than an oil change, I call my father for advice. So with my simple requests, they always nail it. I generally feel like they're never trying to take advantage of my lack of car knowledge here. This is a different location than what I normally go to and Petey was super nice. He asked me if I wanted synthetic (more expensive) or semi synthetic (less expensive) --I might have those mixed up-- and I asked him if he thought it made a difference. He said they're the same weight (whatever that means) and no. So, I did the cheaper version. These places are usually super quick and I never have to get out of my car. No complaints. I love it when they show me the oil stick. I go: "ok! :-)"

I brought my 1997 Jeep here, and what a nightmare. First, they quoted $1,000, then jumped to…read more$1,800, and finally settled at $1,200--more than their original quote. Manager Mike assured me a quick turnaround, but the Jeep sat untouched for two weeks. Julian, the mechanic, never followed up as promised. Milton at the front desk was equally unhelpful. In the end, they just told me to pick it up--no work done. Everyone should be warned about this place's awful service and lack of professionalism from top to bottom.

I stopped by twice and each time the person who does that was gone. I then called to get a side rear-view mirror replaced. He didn't know if they could get the parts, etc. but would call me back. I assumed I could get the service interval reset then. It has been 2+ weeks now and still no call back. Seems clear they really don't care about actually trying to help solve your problem(s). I will never try to use them again.

I had a very serious issue after getting an oil change at Take 5 Oil Change located at 7756…read moreCrestwood Blvd, Birmingham, AL. On May 12, 2026, I brought my 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV Luxury in for an oil change. My vehicle was driving perfectly fine before I arrived. To be honest, I was hesitant about getting my vehicle serviced there from the moment I pulled into the service bay. Most of the employees appeared very young and were laughing, joking, and playing around while customers were being serviced. One employee seemed to be socializing with the customer in Bay 1, and it did not even appear that her vehicle was actively being serviced because they were laughing and talking so much. The atmosphere did not seem very professional, which immediately made me uncomfortable. Customers remain inside their vehicles during service. I was in Bay 2, and an employee named Cody was standing beside my driver's door entering my information into the computer. During the oil change, he said, "Crank it up." Believing he was speaking to me, I started my vehicle. He immediately said he was talking to the customer in Bay 1. I turned my vehicle off and asked if it caused any damage, and I was told no. They completed the oil change, and I paid and left. As soon as I pulled out of the service bay, my truck began making a terrible noise that it had never made before. I immediately returned to the shop. They changed the oil a second time, but the noise remained. At that time, Cody admitted that the oil gasket was either off or partially off when the vehicle was started. Take 5 arranged to have my Escalade towed to Cadillac of Birmingham. Cadillac diagnosed the vehicle with internal engine damage, and my truck remains at the dealership because it is not drivable. Since then, I have been given the runaround. Cadillac informed me that Take 5 and RPM would not be paying for the repairs, yet no one from corporate or RPM has contacted me directly. When I returned to the store, the previous admissions regarding what happened had changed, and I still cannot get anyone from corporate to return my calls. This experience has been extremely stressful. My vehicle was operating perfectly before the oil change, the problem occurred immediately after the service, and my vehicle is now unusable. I am posting this review because I believe customers deserve accountability, professionalism, and proper communication when something goes wrong.

I had my coolant changed in Mobile, AL branch. The next day traveling home to the Birmingham area,…read moremy truck started running hot. I called Take 5 several times and put on hold 10+ minutes without anyone answering. Finally a lady helped me out by contacting the Mobile branch on an unposted number. The Mobile manager made arrangements for me to visit another Take 5 at 7756 Crestwood Blvd. I go there, the technicians remove the coolant cap and add a little coolant and tell me to take for a ride. I go maybe two miles and it runs hot again. I turn around and go back. When I pull in, the technician tells me their General Manager told them not to touch it and there was nothing they could do at their Take 5. The Mobile, AL manager was great and would've helped but I was 3.5 hour drive away. THE TAKE AWAY: I found out that Take 5 has both franchise locations and corporate locations. My understanding from what I've been told is the franchise locations are only required to top off fluids but are NOT required to honor any service "issues" they didn't do. I would NOT recommend Take 5 to anyone who travels outside of their home/local area. I will not use Take 5 anymore due to their policy and the lack of regard the manager at this store had for me, a Take 5 customer. Again, the manager at the Mobile, AL store was more than willing to help but due to distance, was unable to.
