Take 5 Oil Change is a fast-growing, quick-lube franchise offering a unique, stay-in-your-car oil change experience in under 10 minutes. Known for its exceptional customer service, simplified operations, and drive-thru convenience, Take 5 provides a recession-resistant model in the automotive maintenance industry. Franchisees benefit from strong brand recognition, an efficient business model, and growing consumer demand for fast, high-quality oil change services.
Take 5 Oil Change was founded in 1984 in Metairie, Louisiana, and began franchising in 2016 after being acquired by Driven Brands – the parent company of well-known brands like Meineke and Maaco. Since then, Take 5 has rapidly expanded across the U.S. thanks to its simplified operations, no-appointment-necessary model, and excellent franchisee support.
Take 5 provides comprehensive support and training for franchisees, including:
Initial Training Program: Classroom and in-store training covering operations, customer service, safety protocols, and sales.
Site Selection & Build-Out Assistance: Expert guidance on choosing high-traffic locations and designing the store layout.
Ongoing Support: Operational coaching, performance tracking, and regional field support.
Marketing Support: National advertising campaigns, digital marketing strategies, and local store marketing resources.
