He then stayed after hours, called me and gave me a very fair and reasonable estimate. When I said go ahead, he called another 2 hours later and let me know it was drivable again. Incredibly helpful. Great honest people here. Also - I looked at the other reviews, there's one with a youtube link attached dragging the reviews down. Watch the video - the reviewer doesn't seem the most levelheaded and down to earth. If there's one takeaway, you're in good hands here.

Bent pipes, re-did O2 sensor mounts, hangers, one after another the prices seemed very reasonable to me. Call ahead; they get busy. My problem cost $75. Yours might be more, or less, depending on the problem. They do this all day, nothing else. This is my third time here. It's not a glitzy customer experience with fru-fru seats and coffee maker. Instead, you're in, estimated, and out. In my experience, it was high value, good quality, no BS, and out the door.

This is my first visit to Grease Monkey in many years. With Jiffy Lube under new ownership, and…read moreother places either offering questionable service or seemingly changing owners every few years, I wanted to go with a place that has been around here as long as I have and has a good reputation. I drove my car roughly to the area where I thought they took them in and went inside. The guy was very nice and took my info, but also asked me if I wanted to share it, meaning I could opt out if I wanted to. I asked if they had differing levels of oil changes. They do, and I got the lower end package. They still checked fluids, bulbs, and other things. They will offer to replace, but some of it is pricey. Some bulbs are very difficult and would be worth having them replace, others are just simply pulling out the connector and replacing the bulb. The waiting room is a bit small, but the wait was actually very short. All three bays were full when I arrived with 2 cars waiting. I think I expected to be there longer. When they were done they gave me a rundown of everything they found. All was OK, except for a few bulbs that they recommended replacing. They aired up my tires, and even had covers for the stems that were missing them. (Thanks to the last place where they checked the tires and didn't replace any.) It reminded me of my old experiences at Jiffy Lube. They highlighted one issue that could have been serious. The guy mentioned my car was a little slow to turn over. I had noticed that and wrote it off to the weather. He suggested I get my battery checked. I did, and found out there was a lot of corrosion that had been hiding under the battery cover. This was absolutely starting to cause problems! I appreciate his noting that! HIGHLY recommend this place. Friendly and thorough. That's tougher to find these days. I'll be back!

I feel like they are honest and don't try to get me to fix things that don't need fixed. However, things always cost a lot more here than anywhere else I've been. I was quoted $800 for a service here that I ended up paying about $250 less for elsewhere. This place is convenient but if you have time and a ride, makes more sense to go elsewhere.

In my case I needed more freon in my car's airconditioner, and the cost of the freon - $50 for 2lbs, was exactly what I expected it to be. I don't know if the cost of the service was higher than standard, but overall I felt like I paid a fair price for everything. Mostly, I appreciated that the technicians didn't try to sell me anything or try to get me to fix things that didn't need to be fixed, so I feel that even if I paid a little more for the service, it was worth it.
