  i went to take 5 on 11/2/2024. i went in for an oil change and they offered me a coolant exchange as well. it took almost 2 hours to complete. i was told after a few minutes that the wrong coolant was placed into my vehicle and they had to pump it again and fluch the coolant and replace it with the correct coolant. after that was corrected we left and about 1 mile down the road my car started over heating and would shut off and the engine light came on. My vehicle was perfectly fine before going to take 5. they are not trying to cover an damages they have done to my vehicle

  On October 18, 2024 - took my mercedes E350 vin WDDKK5GF9BFO80284 to Take 5 for oil change. Also paid for new air filter. About a week later, engine starts idling down and I took it back to Take 5. *****, manager, ************ said cover wasn't snapped back in place that covers the air filters. That should fix it. I was driving to work and then the battery discharge light comes on and turns off the radio. I called ***** the manager left message and he never called me back. I took it to **************************** for them to fix the problem. **** at ******** said the alternator was soaked in oil, causing battery to discharge. The cost would be $1100. I called corporate and left message that the oil change caused problem. Filed claim *******. Got a call from ******* *****, told her situation, she called **** at ******** and told him payment would be made in 24 hours. a whole week went by, calls weren't returned at Take 5. Then she calls and said claim was denied. I told her you can't tell **** and me that Take5 is going to pay for the damage, and then later deny it? Called her supervisor *** *****, he then said claim was denied. I said how else did the oil get on the alternator? No one had been under the hood since my oil change at Take 5. He said it was denied. Twice ******* said it would be paid and then she wouldn't take calls, until she said it was denied.

  I am rejecting this response because: Take 5 ****************** **** told me and **** the service tech at *************************** that payment would be made in 24 hours.  She gave absolutely no hint that it would be rejected.  Then a week later we got the run around.  Take 5 is responsible for payment because ******* ***** said payment would be made. The oil soaking the alternator could not come from anywhere else!   The vehicle had zero leaks.  Her supervisor *** ***** is aware that ******* said that payment would be made.  They are unorganized and incompetent organization.

  9/03/24 went to Take 5 Oil Change ***** ***************************** to have an oil change. During the service the technicians told me they were having an issue with a gasket. I paid for the service and left the next day on a month long trip.After returning from my vacation, I took the car to run errands when the ******************* Pressure light came on.This was on October 16. I had the car towed to the closest ** dealer in ********. The service advisor told me the oil had been overfilled damaging the upper timing cover gasket, seal rings and bolts. After picking up my car, again, the ******************* pressure light came on. I had the car towed back to the dealer on 10/18. After reviewing the issue with the service manager it was noted that the oil filter housing and the ****** inside the housing were damaged during the original oil change at take 5. This repair was done and thankfully was successful. The total cost of repairs was $1348.73 . Take 5 insurance carrier, Fleet Response denied the claim stating overfilled oil would not cause damage in 30 miles. I have asked for a review of facts and that they contact ******** ****** at ** whom I advised was willing to discuss this on my behalf. I am looking to be reimbursed for the cost of repairs due to improper oil change and resulting damage.

  Came in for a regular oil change on 08/01/24 at ****************************************************************************************. Once oil change was completed a few days later I started to get a light on my dash that I was blinking the oil sign but car was driving fine. Eventually over the couple of months I lost 2 quarts of oil. I had the car inspected and found out that due to the oil drain plug being tightened way too much it caused the oil pan to crack. This resulted in my paying 700 dollars for *** to replace the oil pan along with the oil. I would like to be contacted regarding some sort of compensation etc as I have all receipts etc.

  On June 23, 2024 I took my truck (2015 **** F-150) to Take 5 Oil Change for a routine oil change.On August 16, 2024 as I was driving on the highway, my truck started to decelerate and the oil pressure gadge prompt on the screen saying oil pressure was low. I then merged off the highway and as soon as I got off the highway my truck completely shut down. I then got out of my truck to see what was going on. I checked all around my truck and observed oil all over my truck. I then looked under my truck and observed the oil cap was sitting in the on under my truck. I then contacted take 5 manager and he told me to have it towed to the nearest take 5 which was ****************** I waited three hours for the tow truck and when they came they towed my truck to take 5. At take 5 two managers were on duty and they both stated I had no oil in my truck. They were both helpful. They contacted brown deers location and explained what happed and right away started to file a claim. After being at take 5 for nearly four hours my truck was then towed to a mechanic shop on a 27th st. I was contacted a day later from the mechanic ***** who stated the plug for my oil was not inserted properly and the engine was seized and he could not fix it. Take 5 insurance company (Fleet Response) then contacted me and asked where would I like my vehicle to be towed to. I informed them I would like it to go to a **** dealership. The agent, ****** stated after she received the diagnosis from **** and estimate that they were approved to fix my engine without totaling it out.Two months later ****** contacted me stating they werent going to fix it and just total it out for less that what the truck is worth. One week later the supervisor contacted me and stated they were going to fix it and sorry for the inconvenience. Today, November 11, 2024 ****** contacted me and said they wont fix it but will give me two options. Either they can total for 13K or write a check for a 11K. I still owe 19k on my truck.

  Good afternoon,

  Regarding your case with Take 5 and Fleet Response. I see that you spoke with Fleet Response last on 11/18/2024 regarding the settlement and were able to come to an agreement of accepting the $13,007 payout of the vehicle, correct? I do apologize for the back and forth in regards to the offers. I also apologize for the late response to the BBB complaint. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to confirm any information and I will do my best to relay the information to you.

  Good afternoon, 

  We're sorry you had a negative experience with us.We always want our customers to leave our stores happy. If you could please email ****************************************** with your VIN number and in the title of the email put your BBB complaint number, I will start a claim for you regarding the part and send you over all the information you need.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 11/18/2024

  I reject because:

  In the subsequent inspection, I removed the engine splash shield and found that Take 5 Oil Change employees did not even tighten the oil drain s**** (only need to rotate it two or three times by hand then can completely drop it), which caused oil leakage (large areas of oil stains on the back of the splash shield). This is completely unacceptable, and I don't know what solution they have for this. These careless actions pose a huge risk to driving safety. They should be grateful that I did this follow-up examination, which avoided greater property damage and even personal injury. It seems that they only agree to pay for the cost of replacing the damaged splash shield, no refund of labor fee or any compensations.
