Take 5 Oil Change Opens First Twin Falls, Idaho Location on Blue Lakes Boulevard
A national quick-service automotive brand has officially expanded into Twin Falls, Idaho, with the opening of its first local shop along one of the city’s busiest commercial corridors. Take 5 Oil Change celebrated the grand opening of its new location at 1344 Blue Lakes Blvd. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held April 23 in partnership with the local Chamber of Commerce.
The shop is locally owned and operated by Saranac Auto Services LLC, bringing franchise ownership to the Magic Valley community. The location features three service bays and is built around the brand’s signature stay-in-your-car model, which allows customers to remain in their vehicles while technicians complete a full oil change in approximately 10 minutes.
Fast, Convenient Service for Twin Falls Drivers
Take 5 Oil Change has built its reputation since 1984 on a simple premise: routine vehicle maintenance should not require drivers to surrender their schedule. Every service at the new Twin Falls location includes the oil change itself along with free tire pressure checks, essential fluid top-offs, and complimentary bottled water — all without customers ever leaving their vehicles.
“Drivers choose Take 5 because we make car care fast, simple, and easy to fit into everyday life,” said Phil Hoblet, Senior Vice President of Franchise at Take 5 Oil Change, in remarks released with the announcement. “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.”
Rick Pierce, Owner and Operator of Saranac Auto Services LLC, also commented on the opening. “Opening a shop in Twin Falls’ bustling corridor is an exciting milestone for us,” Pierce said in the announcement. “We aim to provide simple, reliable car care that fits into busy lives while becoming a trusted local resource.”
The Blue Lakes Boulevard corridor is among the most heavily trafficked commercial stretches in Twin Falls County, making it a logical entry point for a brand focused on high-volume, fast-turnaround service. 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 in North America.
Military, First Responder Discounts Highlight Community Commitment
As part of its community launch, the Twin Falls location is offering several limited-time promotions. New customers can receive $25 toward any oil change for a limited time. Additionally, the shop is extending a 50 percent discount on oil changes for military members and first responders — a limited-time offer intended to recognize the men and women who serve the Twin Falls community and the nation.
Beyond the grand opening promotions, Take 5 Oil Change provides a year-round 25 percent discount on oil changes for all active-duty U.S. military personnel and veterans at participating locations — a standing policy that reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to those who have served.
The company also supports Folds of Honor, a national nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled service members. The partnership underscores a broader values alignment between the franchise brand and the communities it serves.
For Twin Falls County residents accustomed to driving to larger markets for certain services, the arrival of an established national brand with local ownership offers a straightforward option for routine vehicle maintenance without extended wait times or appointments.
