History

Take 5's About page states that Take 5 was founded in 1984 as Rapid Oil Change, offering quick oil changes, minor repairs and other maintenance services. In 1996, according to the same page, Take 5 created the first stay-in-your-car oil change, with shops featuring shallow pits, drive-through oil changes, synchronized oil changes, and fast, friendly service. The About page also states that 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, and that among the newest locations is the first Take 5 in Florida. It adds that to date the company has opted to limit franchising the brand but continues to consider future options to do so.
