ABOUT US
Our History
Take 5 was founded as Rapid Oil Change. It offered quick oil changes, minor repairs and other maintenance services. Since then, it has seen expansion, faced disaster and become part of the community.
What started in Louisiana, just outside New Orleans, spread to eight states and across the southeastern United States from Virginia to Texas and 60 locations, with five more shops opening in the coming months. Among the newest locations is the first Take 5 in Florida. To date, the company has opted to limit franchising the brand but it continues to consider future options to do so.
