Welcome. The San Marcos Take 5 team gets you back on the road fast — no appointment needed, and you can stay in your car.
Serving drivers in San Marcos and the surrounding communities.
Quick, full service oil changes that make preventative care easy and keeps your vehicle healthy long-term. Choose from Conventional, Synthetic or a Synthetic blend.
Our friendly, expert technicians provide a quick and accurate assessment of your blades condition. If your windshield wipers are worn out, we'll replace them during your oil change with Rain-X® windshield wipers.
It’s highly important for any vehicle’s maintenance to avoid a clogged or dirty air filter. The engine air filter stops airborne contaminants such as dust, leaves, and debris from getting sucked into your vehicle's engine.
We check your tire pressure and inspect your tire pressure monitoring system to help identify pressure issues or warning indicators, ensuring your tires are properly inflated.
We inspect your vehicle's fluid levels and provide complimentary fluid top-offs when needed, helping maintain proper engine performance and keeping your vehicle ready for the road.
We replace your diesel fuel filter to help protect your fuel system from contaminants, maintain engine performance, and keep your diesel vehicle running efficiently.
Maintaining your vehicle’s coolant (also called antifreeze) levels is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity. Take 5’s coolant exchange service will flush out old, contaminated fluid and replace it with fresh coolant to keep your engine running at its ideal temperature.
We clean your fuel injectors to help remove fuel deposits, improve engine performance, and maintain fuel efficiency for a smoother-running vehicle.
We replace your differential fluid to help protect your drivetrain, lubricate differential gears, and maintain smooth, reliable vehicle performance.

I went and got my oil changed here about two weeks ago and had a great experience with Alyssa! She was super friendly and helpful, explained everything clearly, and answered my questions without making me feel rushed. Usually, I take my car to the dealership, but I didn’t have time and I was a couple thousand miles past due. She really knew her stuff and made sure I understood what my car needed. The oil change was fast and efficient, and the whole experience was easy and stress free. I really appreciated Alyssa’s great attitude and customer service. I’ll definitely be back!
Great experience at the Take 5 on Hwy 80. I especially want to recognize Alyssa, the assistant manager, for going above and beyond. From the moment I arrived, Alyssa was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. She made what can sometimes feel like an inconvenience into an experience where I actually felt taken care of and valued as a customer. What stood out to me was Alyssa's attitude. She clearly takes pride in her work and in the way she carries herself and treats people. She was patient, attentive, and willing to explain things rather than making me feel rushed or like just another car in line. Take 5 should be proud to have someone like Alyssa representing the company. I am now a repeat customer, thanks to her!
Alyssa,Sarah, Big Mike and (sorry didn’t catch his name) another nice guy were on staff yesterday at noon at the San Marcos location....and they did a heck of a job. I had gone to Grease Monkey in San Marcos first..15 mins waiting. While 3 of them moved at a snails pace taking care of the only car there. It was already there when I drove up. One kid moved like he was lost, another wandered around here and there and finally laid on the ground while the 3rd , I guess, actually changed the oil. I gave up waiting and left. Pulled up to my usual..Take 5 and got in and out in 10 mins. That crew, like many others I’ve seen there, worked together as a team. Very professional, smoothly transitioned from vehicle to vehicle and did a great job. Will definitely keep coming back. And this is the second great review I’ve given them in 2 yrs. Great job guys (and girls).
