Take 5 Oil Change Opens First Twin Falls, Idaho Location on Blue Lakes Boulevard
National Franchise Arrives in Magic Valley With Locally Owned Shop
A nationally recognized auto maintenance brand has opened its first location in Twin Falls, Idaho, bringing a fast-turnaround oil change model to one of the city’s busiest commercial corridors. Take 5 Oil Change held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 23, 2026, at its new shop at 1344 Blue Lakes Blvd., in partnership with the local Chamber of Commerce, marking a new addition to the Twin Falls business community.
The Twin Falls location is locally owned and operated by Saranac Auto Services LLC, whose owner and operator, Rick Pierce, emphasized a commitment to serving the community. “Opening a shop in Twin Falls’ bustling corridor is an exciting milestone for us,” Pierce said in a statement. “We aim to provide simple, reliable car care that fits into busy lives while becoming a trusted local resource.”
The new shop features three service bays and operates on the model Take 5 has used since its founding in 1984 — customers remain in their vehicles while technicians complete an oil change in approximately 10 minutes. Every service includes free tire pressure checks, fluid top-offs, and complimentary bottled water. The stay-in-your-car format is designed to minimize the disruption routine car maintenance typically adds to a busy schedule.
Take 5 Oil Change has grown to approximately 1,300 company-owned and franchised service centers across North America and operates as part of Driven Brands, described as the largest automotive services company on the continent. The Twin Falls shop represents the franchise’s continued expansion into Idaho markets.
Grand Opening Deals and Military Discounts
To mark the opening, the Twin Falls location is offering customers $25 toward any oil change for a limited time. First responders and military members can take advantage of a 50% discount on oil changes during the grand opening promotion period.
Beyond the opening promotion, Take 5 Oil Change maintains a year-round 25% discount for all U.S. military veterans and active-duty personnel at participating locations — a standing benefit the company says reflects its appreciation for those who serve. The brand also supports Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled service members.
Phil Hoblet, Senior Vice President of Franchise at Take 5 Oil Change, highlighted the customer-centric approach that drives the brand’s expansion. “Drivers choose Take 5 because we make car care fast, simple, and easy to fit into everyday life,” Hoblet said in a prepared statement. “This new location in Twin Falls brings a service experience designed around real schedules — so drivers can get in, get out, and get back on the road with confidence.”
A Local Business on a Busy Idaho Corridor
Blue Lakes Boulevard is one of Twin Falls’ primary commercial arteries, connecting residential neighborhoods with retail, dining, and service businesses across the city. The choice of that corridor positions the new Take 5 location within easy reach of daily commuter and errand traffic for Twin Falls County residents.
The shop’s locally owned structure through Saranac Auto Services LLC means revenues stay closer to home, supporting the kind of community economic activity that independent business ownership brings to small and mid-sized Idaho cities. The franchise model allows local operators to run a branded business with national-level support while maintaining roots in the communities they serve.
For Twin Falls drivers, the shop offers a straightforward alternative to dealership service lanes or traditional quick-lube competitors — with no appointment required and a service model built around efficiency.
