Grease Monkey International, Inc. was founded in 1978 and is one of the largest independently-owned franchisors of automotive preventive maintenance centers in the United States. Grease Monkey has approximately 240 centers operating in the United States and in Mexico. Grease Monkey centers provide preventive maintenance services that meet manufacturers' recommendations for most makes and models of vehicles, with no appointment necessary, and for less than most dealership prices.

Grease Monkey International, Inc. is one of the largest vehicle preventive maintenance franchisors not owned by a major oil company. Our independence gives us the advantage of being able to focus on servicing our customers' needs, rather than selling a specific brand of oil products. It also allows us more aggressive purchasing power within the industry so we can supply our franchisees with the products and services they need to build and run a successful operation.

Remember when . . . you pulled into the corner service station your ears were always greeted by the familiar ding-ding of the driveway air hose? . . . a friendly attendant greeted you with a smile and still checked under the hood? Those were the days of "grease monkeys." They tended to the simple mechanical services needed to maintain your vehicle at its optimum performance levels. They also made sure you could clearly see through your windshield as you drove out of the station, your mind assured that the tires were properly inflated, the crankcase was topped off to the proper level and the radiator was full of the fluid that cooled the engine.

Today, advancements in technology have significantly changed the routine "simple mechanical services" -- but our core values of knowledge, integrity, and dependability remain the same. Grease Monkey is committed to delivering - with excellence - the preventive maintenance services your vehicle requires. Backed by our steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction, you can count on us to execute your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. We strive to earn your trust to properly maintain your vehicle just like grease monkeys did over 50 years ago.

We service most makes and models of vehicles, and you never need an appointment. Let us take the worry out of costly repairs or breakdowns by regularly maintaining your vehicle.

Most vehicles come with a manufacturer's warranty that requires you to maintain it with periodic services. Grease Monkey has highly trained technicians that keep you informed of your vehicle's needs in accordance with manufacturer specifications. We provide most warranty-required services for less than most dealership prices. We also keep a complete maintenance history for you, taking the hassle out of keeping track of your vehicle's ongoing maintenance routine.
