Overall great experience! Arrived and left within the promised 10 minutes. Clear communication and fair market price. Plus the technicians were knowledgeable, friendly, and so helpful! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They didn't close my oil filter and completely ruined my car as all of the oil drained out. It took me 5 months, 15 calls, and 4 in person visits to get a claim submitted (I was ghosted by numerous people, including by the manager Cheyenne). After finally getting my claim filed, they immediately denied any wrongdoing despite Firestone (where I got my car towed to) explicitly stating that they were the cause of the issue. Read the rest of the reviews for this location and you'll see this isn't the first (or second or third) time this has happened!!!! Save your car and your time. read more

I brought my own oil and own filter and they still charged me $60+.... I e managed a lube shop before and that is complete bs! Do not recommend. Over charged for the services rendered and quality of service is negligible when you charge that much with your own parts read more

I went to the Take 5 on Folly Road in Charleston, SC to get an Oil Change. They claim to check tires, Clean your windshield, coolant, etc. They didn't check tires or clean my windshield but I was so ready to leave I didn't "Remind them." After they checked my coolant, I was told that it was empty. They claimed to have "A special going on" for $100. My bill was over $200 because they charged more than $100 to flush the old empty coolant. When I asked about the bill, the lady "In Charge" was extremely rude and defensive. The experience was 30-40 minutes of Rip-off. The One Star I gave in the review was too high. read more

They did a very great job! Everyone is very kind and helpful! I would highly recommend coming here whenever you need an oil change.

I am blown away by the service I received here. I pulled in and was instantly greeted by a friendly employee named Al who offered me a bottle of water & ushered me into the loading dock. There I was pleased to meet several more friendly faces that worked diligently (shout out to Fred, Ra, & Randy) and quickly on my vehicle. Their prices are transparent and fair. They did an amazing job & have a customer for life from this girl. Thanks you guys for excellent service! read more

Al and Cheyenne and all the nice folks at this location always do such a great job when I go there! They are fast and thorough a d do a great job! I really appreciate their customer service , most people these days are rude but they're always nice . Definitely the place to go imo . read more

My husband and I take our vehicles here regularly and this place is super efficient and the staff members are very courteous. Today I was out running errands and my low tire pressure light came on. Luckily I was near our Take 5 Oil Change shop and I got in line for help. A very nice woman came out to my car and asked how she could help. When I told her the issue, she had me pull the car into an open spot in the garage and she quickly filled up my tire. I was on my way in less than five minutes! I appreciate superior customer service like this. read more

Take 5 Oil Change - They fixed this is less than five minutes, thank you! - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The crew working here are awesome, friendly and efficient. they offer water while you wait. I would consider going anywhere else, the value is unmatched. Isaiah and Rahem are stellar guys and took care of the car, I really appreciate the way the are straight forward and told me I didn't need a new filter cause it was changed recently. A lot of places would lie and change it anyways to bring up the bill. read more

I'm very pleased with my recent oil change experience. Al was very thorough and polite in assisting my family during our visit, the service was quick, and they charge reasonable rates. I'll be back for sure. read more

I had a really good experience with location. The only reason I'm giving giving 4 stars, rather than 5, was because there was quite a wait just to get into the garage. The staff was awesome, very informative, and Jimmy, the store manager was great hooking me with a bottle of water and a couple coupons. All of the staff members were great! read more

Take 5 Oil Change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Take 5 is usually my go-to for an oil change because of the convenience. I'm fine even if the oil change takes a while because I can just wait in my car. I came here on a Monday and the usual service seemed off. The workers were friendly when talking with me but it seemed like they were fumbling around a bit. I checked under the hood after I left and they did not secure my air filter after taking it out. They also spilled oil down my engine cover onto parts below which I had to clean up. The price also increased from my last visit to above $100 for most oil change tiers. I will likely just go to the West Ashley location or a dealership from now on. read more

This Take 5 location is very inconsistent with their quality of service. Several times I have been and they did not bother to show me the oil stick or tell me any other information. I sat for a while before they ever asked me what my mileage is. I don't know what other places prices are or should be but I just paid over $90 with a coupon. The staff is often rude or short and it is always different. I guess there are more employees with different schedules. A lot of times I do not get a replacement sticker which I like to have. Sometimes I feel like they didn't actually do anything. I'm usually not that happy with my time spent at least at the Folly Road location. read more

I took my car in for a oil change and they got grease all over the hood and then when I asked him to cleaned it, they just smeared it everywhere and told me I should not get my car washed before I come get it oil change next time. I would not recommend these guys. They are not interested in making it right. read more

They tightened the oil plug too tight and stripped it. Cost me $550. Do not go here. They don't know what they're doing.

Waited 30 min only to have these guys tell me they didn't have the info for a 2023 Ford F250 so they couldn't do an oil change. Wth it's 2024. read more

Take 5 Oil Change on Folly Road on James Island is a great place for an oil change and vehicle service. They are very efficient and make the process very quick and easy to do. The professionals here work well and are very skilled. I have had a really good experience every time I have been here. read more

Disappointing. Normally I don't go to this location but stopped by for an oil change. Arrived and both techs were smoking inside the building. They were prompt to put them out but that smell lingers and appears unprofessional. I disagreed with their tire pressure recommendation and stated what I wanted them set to. They didn't so I had to adjust once I got home. Which then led me to double check a few things, overall a fine job but they didn't clean up after themselves with some oil splashed on the engine cover/engine bay. Also didn't wipe the plug after so there would've been a stain had I not caught it. read more

I just returned from having a simple oil change there. I am disgusted with the way I was charged. I called in advance and was told that a synthetic blend oil change for my Honda CR-V would be $49.95, but that I could use a $10. off coupon. When in the middle of the oil change they told me it would be $94.95 before the coupon! Yikes!!!! When I protested they said my earlier call went to a national call center that didn't know the grade of oil at that garage. I call BS on that lame explanation. They used 4.5 quarts of Castrol Edge 0w20. 5 quarts of that oil costs $22.00 retail and they buy it in bulk. When I protested they said my advance phone call went to a national call center and they didn't know the oil type that this garage was using. I don't believe that. read more

Take 5 Oil Change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The wife bought a new car and on the way home the felt shield on the underside of the vehicle came loose and was dragging. i stopped by take 5 because they have a way to get under the vehicle to see what the problem was. Isaiah was kind enough to look at it and removed the shield so it would quit dragging the road. if you need your oil changed go see Isaiah he will take great care of you read more

These guys are awesome! So friendly and efficient, for sure best place to get an oil change in the area!

Under new management!! If you had a negative experience here before (I did a handful of times), they have tightened up ship and the new management is wonderful! They move quickly, efficiently and are polite. It might not take 5 minutes, but I think I was in and out in under 15. It's so hard to find fast or reliable car anything in Charleston, and it's refreshing to know there is a business that has a good work ethic and delivers a quality service. I can only get so many oil changes, but hopefully this review will help to show my support for this business! read more

I'm always satisfied with the service at Take 5. They promptly greet me as soon as I pull up and have a bottle of water in hand for me. It does take longer than 5 minutes but they are still speedy about the job and are announcing what is being checked off in the process. They top off all fluids, check tire pressure and check the seals and caps of other various things. They will also top of your oil for free and check your tire pressure in between visits. This is all super convenient for me since I don't have a garage to be able to store these things and keep up with it. Even when people have been ahead of me I've never had to wait more then 30 min. I've been to other places that take forever, so I always come back to Take 5! read more

Take 5 Oil Change - Service check list - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We took our SUV for an oil change and this group could not have been better. We were in and out quickly and everyone was so friendly. The oil change was fast, and they checked all the other fluids and the tire pressure. The offered some added services but did not pressure us at all. We will definitely be back. read more

**UPDATE** I've emailed the customer service address that was posted by Take 5 below twice and have yet to hear anything back. What a shocker, more bad customer service from Take 5. read more

You would not believe the hostile attitude among staff from the get go at this place. I haven't written a Yelp review for over a year but I had to warn you about these people. Truly awful, abrasive, looking for a fight with customers for no reason at all. Avoid this place, I left and went to SpeeDee just a quarter of a mile away. They were amazingly helpful. read more

Website says that they open at 7am. I'm currently sitting out side at 7:12 waiting for the garages to open. Doesn't look like anyones here. Super disappointed I got up early to come and no one's here. Very bad way to do business read more

Take 5 Oil Change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Quick and friendly. You may have to ask them to check the air in your tires if they forget. Only happend on one occasion, but they checked without asking the other times. Price is a little higher than some other places, but worth it to me since the wait time is short, and you can usually find a coupon online. read more

These guys are awesome! Sit in your car and get your car serviced by a friendly and professional staff! Don't forget do go to the website and get discount coupons sent right to your phone! Bring your military ID for 25% off! read more

Stopped in for an oil change on a new to me vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was no wait. I must've had good timing because after pulling into the Bay several cars pulled up behind me. The staff is very friendly. They have been very informative and I feel very honest about the condition of the filters and what services that are required. I am temporarily out of work due to a hand injury so I appreciate it that there is many options within my budget. I loved that they handed me a cold bottle water since it's such a hot summer day here in Charleston! I also saw that if you leave a review you get a dollar off your service today although I was already planning on leaving one anyway. I was gonna wait till I got home but hey for a dollar off I'll do it while I'm waiting. It's not like I have anything else going on, LOL! Also found a variety of coupons online when I was googling the address. I found one for seven dollars off the service today. They can not do more than one coupon but that's ok. They also are itemizing any issues that they found in the engine which are minor with the new vehicle that I purchased so I can let my mechanic know. We will certainly return for our next oil change! I highly recommend them! read more

The team Aj, Robert a d Lamont at the Folly road location were awesome! Not only did they have me in and out in 10 minutes the price was great and they didn't pressure me at all which is usually my experience when i go to get an oil change. I'd recommend them to all my friends and family! Thanks guys, y'all rock! read more

Avoid! - Companies that provide incompetence, permanent damage to your car, and refusing to stand behind their work? welcome to the trifecta of disappointment. They stripped the drain bolt on my oil pan, the Honda dealer diagnosed the problem clearly showing me the last oil change place damaged my car- and sent me back to them- I still had their oil change sticker on the car. I remember them struggling for 30 minutes the last oil change and they never said anything. I was put in the phone with a district manager who accused me of lying despite not being on the property, offered no alternative solution or resolution. He could have suggested easy fixes or even a I'm sorry for the inconvenience but he was only worried about covering his butt. After awhile he said I can't help you leave the property. Very Bizarre style of customer service. I didn't raise my voice once just walked through the problem a couple times- he just doesn't know how to talk to people. Pretty short sighted company position considering I have 2 cars and change my oil 3 times a year each. Another oil change company about .5 miles from them fixed the issue in one hour, charged very fair price, and warned me that they get in cars butchered by Take 5 all the time. Honda said the same thing about them too. In conclusion Save your car, and your money- your welcome read more

Terrible place to have an oil change. I'll just do it myself. After having my oil changed here, my engine started making noises. They did not put in enough oil and the quality isn't great either. Sure it's quick but at what cost? I won't be returning. It's sad that so many places can't get a simple oil change right. read more

Staff not required to wear masks and staff member rude when asked why and said "Do you wear a mask when you get a car wash?" One, that doesn't even make sense. I have no human interaction when I get my car washed. And two, that is horrible customer service. Turned my car right around and didn't waste my money there. Spend your money elsewhere where they care about your safety and health, and frankly, their own as well. read more

This was my first time at the location and by far the best experience I've had at take 5! It was not super busy when I went and everyone was very helpful and attentive! Robert helped my primarily and explained and showed me the difference in products and helped me make my decisions! He also pointed out things that needed to be changed and fixed! Everyone was very friendly and I will definitely keep going back for my oil changes! read more

If you value your vehicle, please do not bring your vehicle here. Tech forgot to secure splash guard on bottom of vehicle, splash guard fell off on the highway. Before returning to have them fix, I noticed oil was leaking from the drain plug. Tech did not adequately torque the oil drain plug. After having a different tech at Take 5 mitigate this issue, another "secured" the splash guard on the bottom of the vehicle. This tech missed 3 screws and again left the splash guard hanging on by 2 screws. Would never come here again. read more

We waited in line for one hour. Only two vehicles in front of us. There were 4 employees but only one working on the vehicles. Once we got into the stall we waited about 10 minutes and my husband asked how much longer, the guys were just standing there with hands in their pockets. We were told they had to finish the truck that was in the other stall obviously getting more done than an oil change. We were a repeat customer but no longer. Several other vehicles also left!! read more

I have been going here regularly for two years. I just had to pay $2,000 for a transmission rebuild because my transmission fluid was empty...after I went here for a check and oil change. Do not depend on them to actually check your "vital" fluids as the advertise. I did and they had not been checking and replacing my transmission fluid. This was an extremely costly mistake to trust a company. Even at $70/visit they did not maintain my truck as advertised. Crooks. read more

Went here and set a stopwatch to see how quick it really was. Left at 30 minutes, and it was only that long because a car was already in the bay when i got there! Everyone was super friendly, and they even put air in my tires and put a missing splashguard bolt in that I brought. There are also lots of coupons online, and the Cashier explained each oil type and it's use so I could decide which I wanted. Highly recommend! read more
