My last visit I am credited $4.00 for my oil and charged almost $50.00. Getting them to change my oil is a convenience and not a need. I do my best to make use of businesses in the Athens area as long as the company treats me fair even if the cost is a bit more. Fair is fair, I don't want more than I paid for and shouldn't be charged for more than I received.

They do a great job with quick & efficient oil changes. They also send text alerts (along with…read morecoupons) about the next time for an oil change. They would also do other car diagnostics (air filter, tire stuff, fluids) & state inspections. I like to leave the car there & walk to some place nearby for a drink or something. It's just a block or 2 over from Calloways (local coffee shop). Prices are also decent. Fun side-story: I have a seatbelt cover in the drivers seat that looks like a stuffed animal version of Donatello (from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the purple one). It's a great conversation-starter with one of the guys who works there. So I get to have my car maintenance done, as well as get to "talk Turtles" with someone while there!

I live in Chandler and decided to try this local shop for an oil change on my Honda Civic, instead…read moreof bringing the car to my usual mechanic all the way in Tyler. Now I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, but I could tell that Grease Monkey in Chandler has a process and they operate it like a well-oiled machine. I was out the door in under fifteen minutes. The mechanic there came in and recommended a radiator flush service. Since this was my first time here, I was a bit apprehensive and I told him I would mull it over and check my own service records first. When I looked at the inspection from 4 months ago by my usual mechanic, sure enough, the radiator fluid was close to needing a flush. I took my Civic back to Grease Monkey a week later, and they got that done too. Prompt service and honest. Big time-saver if you're in Chandler.

I will give a shout out to manager Mike, him and his team are all awesome, they have always been awesome, and great to do business with. Corporate is the problem here, you can't raise prices $62 in between oil changes and expect the public to just be ok with your greed.

Brought my Jeep in today for an oil change and tire rotation. Waited an hour before an employee…read morecame to me to say there was a problem with the tire rotation. He pointed at two of the wheels lug studs on the same wheel next to each other had been stripped and the lugs cannot go on and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Then he said word for word (this happens all the time). I pointed back at all the metal shaving proving they were the ones that caused it. Then got charged in full for them breaking the vehicle. No offer to cover damage, no lift home and vehicle had to be left in a lot overnight until I can find a shop that can fix the vehicle. Pending small claims lawsuit soon to follow. Please don't let this happen to you. Stripping one of the wheel lug studs was bad enough but to then strip the one right next to it? Avoid at your own peril.

When I pulled up one of the team members said they were closing. I asked if they could take care of me so I didn't have to drive 20 minutes down the road to the next Valvoline that was open until 7:00 and why did their website said they were open until 6:00. They told me it was because they were bought out by some other company. It seemed like a pretty easy customer sat deal especially since they were starting up under a "new company". However, the manager must have wanted to punch the clock more than take care of and impress a potential new customer. Sad as it is - kinda convenient location - I highly doubt I would get my oil changed there now and I am less likely to recommend these guys.
