    Brandon Corona quoted me over $1,000 for brake and rotor replacement. He informed me that no…read morefacility resurfaces rotors anymore if they are still within run-out tolerance. This is a lie. I do not do business with liars. If the rotors need replaced, fine, but don't lie to me. Prior to this I had taken my truck to have a fuel pump replaced. I had just had my disabled veterans plates transferred to this truck and they ran my license plate to determine what parts to order. Apparently they pulled the info for my prior truck and ordered the wrong fuel pump instead of pulling the VIN info directly from my truck. They got the correct pump in and charged me for BOTH fuel pumps labor for THEIR MISTAKE. Summary: They will lie about easily proven facts. They will charge you for their mistakes. They will threaten you with calling the cops when you confront them about their lie to cover up their attempt to defraud. I may be an old disabled vet, but I am far from stupid. I do know about most folks, but I do not tolerate liars. I will be contacting their corporate offices and filing a complaint with state regulators. Why do these people think the elderly are easy pickings?

Brandon understood the safety concern and urgency in the matter. He offered me a simple and helpful payment plan option to get the work done and get me back on the road.

    During a recent service visit on 6/7/2026, Take 5 Oil Change on Bandera documented that sludge was…read morepresent in my engine. I was not informed of this finding during the service and only became aware of it after reviewing the invoice after payment, despite being advised that my vehicle's maintenance was otherwise up to date. I get my oil changed when my Honda Maintenance Minder shows 5% life left, before the indicator turns on. After I questioned the notation, the employee confirmed that it was incorrect, stating that my oil was actually in good condition and that the sludge entry had been mistakenly placed on the paperwork. Previous service records and interactions further support that I was never informed of any sludge-related concerns during my last two visits. Despite acknowledging that the notation was inaccurate, employees declined to amend the service record, stating that correcting the documentation would take too much time and that the issue could be addressed during a future visit. Additionally, the mileage recorded during a previous service visit was approximately 10,000 miles higher than the vehicle's actual mileage at the time of service. This discrepancy was also brought to their attention before beginning my oil change, yet they refused to correct the official documentation. I was advised that because the mileage had already been reported to CarFax, a subsequent service visit would simply "reset" the discrepancy. Based on my professional experience working in automotive warranty administration for more than ten years, I understand that inaccurate mileage reporting can create lasting issues and should be corrected at the source rather than left unresolved. These are not minor clerical errors. Service records serve as the official maintenance history of a vehicle and may be relied upon by manufacturers, warranty administrators, future purchasers, and service providers. Inaccurate records can have significant consequences, including impacts to manufacturer warranty coverage, Certified Pre-Owned warranty eligibility, vehicle valuation, and future diagnostic or repair decisions. My concern extends beyond the errors themselves to the company's unwillingness to correct records that its employees have acknowledged are inaccurate. Once an error has been identified and verified, it is reasonable to expect that the official documentation be updated to accurately reflect the vehicle's condition and service history. Maintaining accurate service documentation is critical to protecting consumers and ensuring the integrity of vehicle maintenance records. I expect that records known to be inaccurate will be corrected promptly rather than knowingly left in place. Management has yet to correct or respond to my outreach.

    I gave a 4-star review because the experience was decent, but not exceptional. On a Saturday…read moremidday, there was no line, so I got in quickly for an oil change. The team was friendly and explained everything well, including their recommendations for additional work. However, there were a few issues. They said they would add air to my tires since the tire pressure light was on, but it never happened. I felt like I had to watch closely to ensure things were done correctly. Since I was in a hurry, I didn't mention the air pressure again and ended up going to Discount Tire later to fix it. Another issue was with my information in their system. I'd never been there before, but somehow, they already had a profile for me with incorrect details. The name on my receipt was a mix of my last name and someone else's, and the email address on file wasn't mine at all, but they had my correct home address. I Thankfully, I asked for a printed receipt, or I wouldn't have caught this. My suggestion for the customer/shop is to double-check customer information in their system and verify it with the client to avoid confusion and ensure receipts go to the correct email address

I have…read morehad several bad experiences here each time hoping the next would be better but unfortunately not. The tech Gian was quite rude when all I asked him was to let me know if it would be to difficult before he started because the last time I was there it took over an hour and the guys seemed like they had no idea what they were doing. You are better off going to another location. Please avoid this one. Definitely not worth the risk when you can find better service down the street.

I went back today and Gabby checked everything; thankfully my air filter just needed to be screwed back in properly.

    I've been a loyal Take 5 Oil Change customer for years, so this experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. I brought my Kia Carnival in for a routine oil change -- the same vehicle that had a Take 5 "next oil change" sticker on the windshield due this month. Despite being a repeat customer, the store manager refused to service my vehicle and claimed it was due to a "corporate policy." That explanation turned out to be completely false. I contacted Take 5 corporate directly, and they confirmed there is no policy preventing them from servicing my vehicle. In other words, the explanation given at the store simply wasn't true. What makes it even more frustrating is that the location had zero customers at the time. Instead of providing service, employees were standing around while making up policies that corporate says do not exist. After years of choosing Take 5 for oil changes, this was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. If a location doesn't want to service a vehicle, they should be honest about it instead of blaming a nonexistent corporate policy.
