Who We Are

Where Convenience Meets Confidence

Since 1978, Grease Monkey® has been a trusted name in oil changes and preventive maintenance. What began as a quick-lube concept has grown into one of the most recognized brands in car care—known for fast, friendly service you can rely on. Today, our franchise network empowers ASE-certified technicians and local owners to keep drivers confident on the road, one visit at a time.

Consistency

Drivers know what to expect at every Grease Monkey: fast, high-quality service with no shortcuts.
