Lorenzo, Andrew and Dorian are to be commended for representing Take 5 so well! Upon my arrival, Lorenzo met me at my car with Take 5's complimentary bottle of cold water. Andrew then greeted me and guided my vehicle into the bay. Lorenzo explained the various service options and then researched the oil recommendations for my 2024 Chevy Malibu. Lorenzo took time to show me the condition of my wipers, air filter, etc., and his service was personable and informational and NOT a hard-sell for any extras. I appreciated the authenticity AND 5-star service, and this will now be my go-to location!

After sitting there for 2.5 hrs the tech called me up to let me know the oil was done but they weren't sure they could lift the truck "because it so heavy" it's a stock 1500 nothing fancy. Weighs less than your mid to large SUVs. Last time my gf took her 2025 SUV they turned her away because they didn't know how to make it work with the electronic dipstick. This place is bad plenty of better places in the area stay away from "not so jiffy" lube.

She got a mile down the road and she thought her car was on fire. I go get her and take the car back, they do a terrible job cleaning then offer her a free oil change. 3000 miles later we go back to get the free oil change and they refuse to honor it. The correct response would have been sorry for your bad experience we will be more then happy to keep you as a customer by taking care of this for you. Its probably for the best since they would have screwed the car up again

This place is terrible! My husband took his car here for an oil change and before dropping it off…read moreconfirmed that his car takes conventional oil and that his coupon for 50% off an oil change was valid. The employee confirmed the coupon would work and said it would be done in 15 minutes. We grabbed lunch and came back for them to tell us that they did a synthetic oil change and the 50% off coupon wouldn't work. They offered a 15% discount and the total still came out to $76. We were willing to chalk it up as a loss at that point but he still needed a car inspection. The employee who does the state inspections plugged in the machine and all of the alerts on the dashboard turned on. The employee said he'd never seen anything like it and couldn't do anything about it. He sent us on our way with a check engine light on that is now our problem. Long story short, this place will unapologetically overcharge you and does not care about their customers. Go literally anywhere else in Fuquay for an oil change and car inspection (or any other service for that matter).

Sent him on his way so oil could spill all over his engine block and almost ruin the vehicle. On top of all of this, they didn't even change the oil when my son refused the bogus additional repairs. The single worst experience my family has ever had anywhere.

They take great care of your vehicle, covering your seat as they move the car in and out of the shop. The staff is very knowledgeable and honest. That's the key. They aren't trying to sell or push something unneeded on you. They take the time to educate you on what's is needed. Above all, their prices are fair. Overall the experience is always a pleasant one. A side note, because they knowledgeable and honest, they are also busy. If you need something quick, show up early. I mean 7 am. They open at 7:30. You'll thank me. And park across the street in the public parking lot

I'm normally at Fuquay tire by 0930 and everytime the regular "front office crew" is not there recently and there is a younger gentleman running the desk, I get told they can't get to me at all on Friday for the oil change. Well, that is ironic considering all the other times I am there with the same situations, they take the truck back and I'm home NLT 1 pm. I usually go local for the oil change and then support a local business or two, but this is the second time in 6 months the young gentleman told me he couldn't get to me. This time had a helper "girlfriend" behind the desk hanging out which I've never seen before either. This is just not like Fuquay tire and their normal level of service. I went somewhere else because it needed to be done but it has me questioning if every time I recommend this store if I'm now making a mistake.

I've been told by other shops how I need 10 things done, bring it into Tom and he explains everything and why some things were not needed. He's always looking to help me save my money so that its not wasted on the unnecessary and has been successful in figuring out problems the dealership couldn't figure out. When I've bought a new (used) car, he let me know what fails on it a lot and what to look out for (a couple years later the thing he said would go, did in fact go, and it was great I knew to keep watching it)! His daughter takes a bit of getting used to in the front office, but has improved over the last year, so for those that were turned off for that reason, its improved!

Predatory Upsells & Gaslighting - Avoid for Inspections…read more If you are looking for an honest NC state car inspection in Fuquay-Varina, do not go to Grease Monkey. I brought my vehicle here for a routine annual car inspection and they failed me, claiming my wiper blades were "scratchy." When I questioned this, the mechanic took me out to my car. He turned the wipers on, literally admitted he couldn't hear anything, and told me to go back to the lobby. However, after he went and "talked to his boss," he suddenly changed his story and claimed it was failing. They took me out to the car a second time. Even though there was absolutely zero noise, they tried to gaslight and bully me into believing the wipers were bad so I would pay for their overpriced replacements on the spot. I refused the high-pressure upsell, paid the inspection fee, and drove directly to another local auto repair shop in town. My car passed the North Carolina state inspection at the second mechanic immediately, with zero issues. Based on my experience, the management here forces their mechanics to fake safety failures to squeeze customers for extra money. If you need a trustworthy auto shop without manipulative tactics, take your business elsewhere. I have the receipts from both shops to prove exactly when this happened.
