Take 5 Oil Change® has always been known for its unique, fast, customer-friendly stay-in-your-car service model. That model prepared Take 5 to operate safely during the pandemic with a few additional procedures to make the entire “10 minute or less” oil change a touchless visit. This not only keeps employees and customers safe, but it also provides the car owner with added peace of mind. As an essential business, Take 5 Oil Change centers have stayed open with flexible hours to service their local community.

Recently the 19 News Investigative Team went undercover utilizing hidden cameras to see if auto shops in northeast Ohio were adhering to the mask mandate. The Take 5 Oil Change in Westlake, OH, was randomly chosen and passed with flying colors. The 19 News report stated that signs that alerted customers to the mask mandate were present, and not only were all employees masked, but the driver of the vehicle was also reminded to wear their mask.

“Take 5 has always had a people-first philosophy,” said Eric Wollenhaupt, Vice President of Franchise Operations and Training for Take 5. “We provided guidance to our franchisees on how to protect their business, their employees and their customers early on, and it is good to see that that guidance is being followed. It has allowed our franchisees to remain open to service both returning and new customers while maintaining the high standards of execution for which Take 5 is known.”

With the contactless service trend increasing, and the already attractive business model, Take 5 continues to be an investment opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to diversify their portfolios with a simple, replicable service model in a recession-resistant industry.

Take 5 is actively seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchise owners to expand the brand’s footprint. To learn more about franchise opportunities with Take 5, visit https://www.take5franchise.com/.
