fair price, quick turn around. great attitude. had Rubin and Chad help me and I work on cars myself... they didn't try to upsell or make false problems. very happy with my experience read more

Stopped for an oil change... Pricy for full synthetic. $129 Same service at home in NH it's $49 Crew was good, in and out took about 1/2 hr. Fluids checked, oil changed, air pressure checked... Over all 3 stars just based on price. read more

They are always available, always helpful, always fast, and always great! This is THE place to go for all Boulder locals, I get all of the work on my car done here as Ive found them more reliable and affordable than other auto shops in the area. This is a great local business and I highly recommend it! read more

Great friendly service, manager made me feel at home, nice new chairs in the waiting room Waiting room upgrade is great along with the free coffee read more

First time here and they really surprised me ! ! came for an oil change, I got the cheapest $60 (synthetic blend) but paid $50 because they had coupons in their website. But the kicker is they not only changed my oil but they vacuumed my car, cleaned my windshields, and did a full range of service checklist (see photo) for no additional charge! I have never had this type of service just for an oil change...truly amazing. They did all of this under 30min ! read more

Grease Monkey - Service checklist at no additional charge when Pay for oil change. - Auto Repair Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I went for a standard oil change with the inspection; the technician was not able to test the 12v battery until I drove 30 minutes, so I did that 2 days later and came back and he checked the battery. I was impressed by his concern and commitment. I also was delighted that they vacuumed the interior and cleaned the windshield. Very good service. read more

Our perfectly good transmission was damaged during the oil change because transmission fluid was drained (we never asked for that). Efforts to make things right are less than satisfying thus far (I don't want junkyard replacements). Spare yourself the hassle. Update: After 13 days, GM agreed to settle for almost the amount of the repair costs that most car repair places offer, more than 3x of their initial offer. I still would not want to repeat this experience. read more

Amazing service! They went out of their way to make sure they got my type of car battery in stock the morning I called and replaced my battery in 15 mins at a good price! Will go back for all my car services in the future! read more

Grease Monkey tried to ripoff my wife with inaccurate data data for services that the car doesn't need. Not to mention a $80 charge for an oil change. They lost me as a client. Goodbye Grease Monkey read more

College to elderly everyone in Boulder NEEDS to go to this Grease Monkey. Tim and his team are the absolute best. They make sure your car has all it needs to be in tip top shape without having to worry about being ripped off. Couldn't recommend it more. read more

Just a solid in and out oil change spot. I've gone twice and I'm never there more than 15 minutes. Easy-breezy.

"An oil change, and so much more." is true. Absolutely impeccable service at this Grease Monkey. I never go anywhere else.

I've been to several Grease Monkey locations, but didn't have the best experience at this particular one. When I stopped by, several employees where wearing masks below their nose- which personally made me uncomfortable. It also felt like the employee was talking down to me when asking about the services I needed- but hey, maybe they were just having a bad day... But they also forgot to reset my oil life after an oil change- so when I got home I had do check myself if it had actually been changed. It was! But not ideal from the customer service prospective. Overall though, the service was convenient & quick. With a bit more effort on customer service, I think this could be a good spot. read more

This grease monkey location on 28th has always done me right. They consistently make sure that everything is functioning how it should and keep me updated on things that might need to be looked at in the near future. Their oil changes are full service and keep my car operating smoothly. They tend to have a 15-30 min wait time and kindly let you know before hand. read more

Michael is absolutely fantastic!!!!! I was impressed with Yelpers ratings, and they were spot on when I brought my son's '98 Ford Explorer in to be checked out two days after he bought it. I got a GREAT diagnosis! Thank God for Michael at Grease Monkey! read more

Amazing service! Great people! We sat and watched the customer service from the waiting area. Very impressed. Fair pricing and such good people. I will be waiting to change my oil here in Boulder whenever I can! read more

Had a great experience here. Tim the lead in the front has been doing this for 30 years. Extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions every customer had. I came here without an appointment and got a full service oil change in under 20 minutes. Would recommend. read more

You don't really expect much when you get an oil change. but these guys are nice and friendly, and honest. As a woman, I sometimes feel as if I'm scammed because i do t know anything about cars. Not here. Just a good experience, professional and calm. read more

16 point Full Oil change service description and manager claim they follow OEM recommendation. They used a 5,000 mile suggested life engine oil filter although OEM equipment has a Maintenance Minder that allows up to 10,000 miles between full synthetic oil change. I called Grease Monkey to inquire about the choice of engine oil filter and advised the Purolator filter installed by Grease Monkey is not a fit for the vehicle. Manager Tim said, "well that's how we do it." I called Purolator after seeing their website, www.pureoil.com, does NOT recommend this engine oil filter for full synthetic oil. The Purolator product specialist advised I will need to change the engine oil filter between 3,000 and 5,000 miles. Grease Monkey was a waste of time and money for me. Don't let them waste your time and money. read more

The parking lot and waiting room were jammed. Given a choice, I prefer my VW mechanic, but the last couple times, I don't plan well enough to have my oil changed two weeks in advance. There's something to be said about car places that specialize in one thing. Grease Monkey fits that bill. My oil plug is an oddball plastic one. I always ask if they have one on the shelf. Today, no, but I ended up having to wait an hour. When I returned from lunch at the Chinese place a couple blocks away, one was delivered and my car was ready when I came back. The late morning rush was over, but there was a little kid who wanted a can of oil additive. His mom said, "That's soda pop for cars, not kids." read more

What's the point of sending out coupons for your business if not all of your locations will accept it. Much rather use valvoline going forward because at least they will accept all coupons expired or new. The service was fine, employees were friendly and knowledgeable however to refuse to accept a coupon the company puts out is just fucking stupid. Figure it out. read more

Not worth the hassle. Tim is the scammer. Owner operator will upsell you wipers when you don't need them. There's a reason People come back for complaints in their car rim worse after the service at that location. read more

Quoted me the wrong price. Then after they went ahead and did the work, they charged me over $100 of the quote. When I questioned them about it, they said sorry man we already did the work, you gotta pay for it. Which is not cool at all. If you mess up as a business then you make it right, you don't just say it's the customers fault when it isn't at all. I will never come back here and I will tell all friends and everyone I know that this is a terrible place. If your job is customer service, you might wanna try some customer service. Also, going to call your Corp office and complain. read more

An oil change is an oil change...but these days, any oil change that doesn't leave you broke or extremely irritated is worth four stars. I went to Grease Monkey in yesterday's snow storm, I needed wiper blades and (surprise) an oil change. I told them what I wanted, and the guy said "Okay, that'll be about 20 minutes." I waited... Nothing. No Upsale. No "well, if you pay $20 more you can have the premier super-duper oil change" Not "Aren't you interested in a transmission service, differential service, other expensive service" It was quite refreshing. 20 minutes later, I left with nothing more that I had wanted when I walked in. read more

Crooks! They did my oil change ~ February 2016. I was shown my dirty cabin air filter and agreed to have it replaced. Now, April 2016, when they couldn't do the tire rotation I wanted along with my next oil change, I had the work done at Midas. Same thing ... Midas showed me my filthy cabin air filter. I know that during the three winter months in between that the filter could *not* have become so filthy. So it appears that Grease Monkey charged me for a new filter but reinstalled the old (gross) one. read more

These guys were so awesome to me... I am traveling. Alone came out of my account that I had scheduled but forgotten. The Stolfi was only $10! I was trying to tip them when I found out that my loan payment had hit my bank- I only had six dollars of me! He was gonna let it go for nothing I gave him the six dollars. These guys spent time on my vehicle diagnosing it and we're only going to charge $10! What a bargain for the service. Thank you so much for your empathy and caring Frank. Highly recommend these guys. read more

Just started the Grease Monkey fan club and I'm the president! It was the first time I've had my car serviced that I DIDN'T feel like I was in the dark! Mike was great, and explained everything to me in detail. He didn't patronize me, nor did he try to sell me anything. In fact, he taught me a little something about Air Filters so I don't get duped in the future. (Not that I would go ANYWHERE but here.) It's great, it's reasonably priced, and they were quick (10-15 minutes tops). read more

I think I may have found the best oil change station ever. I never thought I would be blown away by an oil change, but now I have. I came in here two days ago a little wary of the gimmicky name and worried about finding a place to get my oil changed in a new town. I didn't want someone cramming air filters and engine cleaning services down my throat. Thankfully the guy behind the counter didn't mention either, and just told me to come back in 20 minutes. When I returned in the what must have been the 15 minute walk to the gas station for a drink and back my car was ready. Instead of trying push services on me they went ahead and refilled my windshield washer, checked all my fluids and battery among other things, topped off my power steering and anti-freeze and.... VACUUMED MY CAR. For free. They are on the pricey side, but other than that everything about this place hovers around perfection. read more

Super quick, I was in and out in under 30 minutes. They knew what they were talking about and explained it to me well! Kinda expensive but then again I get synthetic oil. Will be back next time I need another oil change. read more

Not bad service but it is pretty pricey. $36 for an oil change, vacuuming and washing windows. Coming from a sales job, I understand that this place is a business and they're gonna try to tell me that I need something else done (which they did and they did it to the other woman waiting there too) but a business is a business and selling is what makes the modern world. read more

In preparation for the holiday season and the coming to the end of a year, I go into overdrive getting everything cleaned, organized, and prepped for the next. My car's "change oil" light has been an annoying but useful reminder to maintain my car a little more than I do now. Finally, after weeks of seeing that same warning light come up I took my baby in to get her oil changed. I chose this place as the other mechanic shop (name withheld) I frequent said they were booked up for the day. And then I remembered about a review on Grease Monkey and how Mr. Ali S. had a good review on'em and so I dropped on early this morning to see if they could help me out. Pleasantly they were about no hassles, gave me what I came in for, and made a few recommendations like changing my air filter which was a lil dirty. The auto shop is small, but comfy enough to wait in while they fix up your auto. It's also within walking distance to Target/Starbucks/Panera Bread/28th Street Mall, a Nissan car dealership (in case you want to buy a new car), and a Barnes and Noble - all of which of course only applies in the event you have to wait a while. For me, within 10-15 minutes my baby was pumped, re-oiled, and ready to burn some rubber. Thanks Grease Monkey! read more

Super service. John was helpful, quick, and responsive. I got the synthetic oil change I asked for within an hour for $62 plus tax (same as Walmart but better service), my fluids topped off, and two recommendations. Awesome. Added plus: it's walking distance to Whole Foods which has WiFi. read more

Good news is that they're fast, and I got my oil changed in about 10 minutes during a lunch break from work. Also, as someone else noted, they don't try to upsell you. That said, I'm not sure how great the work they did was, given the speed. I noticed on the printout they gave me that they checked my tire pressure and made sure it was at factory specs, except the printout had two different values for front and back, and my factory specs are uniform for all four tires. Plus, when I got home at the end of the day (and my commute's fairly long so the car had been running for a while), I noticed what smelled like burned coolant on my engine, like they tried to top off the radiator and spilled coolant all over the place. Finally, on a cosmetic note, it's nice that they tried to clean my front and back windshields, but they used a dirty rag that left smear marks all over the windows, making it hard to see out when the winter sun was shining through or when cars coming against me had their headlights on. The building is small and a little older, and I was surprised that they hadn't upgraded to newer facilities given that Jiffy Lube and even other nearby Grease Monkey locations don't look like they're stuck in 1982. I just hope for my car's sake that their fast turnaround didn't mean that anything was overlooked or done in a slap-dash way, and I'm probably going to go somewhere else next time I need an oil change. read more

Said they were short-staffed and even still got me on my way in no time. A no-fuss crew that knows what they're doing, and are straight-forward to communicate with. read more

I used to be a grease monkey regular. Never again. I stopped by the day before thanksgiving and got an oil change. I asked the woman at the counter about the bill and was told that my Buick needed a special coolant that cost $5.- a quart. This added an extra $15.- to my bill. Driving to family for thanksgiving, we end up parking across the street and spending time with the family. After a wonderful thanksgiving meal we start to head home. As we start the car, there is a loud knocking sound. We immediately turn off the car and take a look under the car. There is a pool of oil and red coolant underneath the engine. The oil filter was wobbling under the engine and has spit all of the oil in the engine onto the highway. So.... 9pm thanksgiving evening... We go to Walmart and get 5 quarts of oil and a new oil filter. Calling the next day and asking for a refund, we are getting the runaround by the manager. Now I am having to pay twice for a simple oil change that should have been done right... the first time. read more

I know this is a chain, but as a woman, I still have this guardedness with mechanics in wondering if they are taking me for a ride when it comes to telling me what is wrong with my car, I had a horrible experience several years ago. However, this station is efficient and everyone I've dealt with is upbeat and friendly with me and could easily upsell me on things and never push hard for anything like that. They tell me the truth and don't talk down to me which I appreciate immensely. They are also fast and thorough and do a great job. I have an easy to maintain car and taking it here makes it even easier. read more

I was visiting my son and noticed an oil leak under his car. We looked for the leak and found the oil filter was loose. Loose means it took almost 2 full turns to tighten it. I was 2 + quarts of oil low. He went back to talk to the manager and was dismissed because he didn't get there sooner from his last oil change. We just noticed it as he parks it in a grass driveway and doesn't drive the car much. After 10 years of faithful service this is how a customer is treated. All he asked for was some consideration and a new oil change. In a round about way he was calling my son a Liar and also myself. When my son got his last oil change that caused this problem he called in and they said they were swapped. When he drove by in a few minutes he noticed they were empty and everyone was standing around outside smoking. I wonder who is the liar. My son went down to Jiffy Lube. I wouldn't recommend anyone going to this place. read more

I've never had a negative experience at this Grease Monkey. They are always friendly and even when they are busy, they get your oil changed in a timely manner. I really have to thank Michael also, who works at this Grease Monkey because he is very kind, honest and has the best customer service that I've ever seen. I definitely will keep coming back to this grease monkey for an oil change read more

I'm a Grease Monkey regular. I really like the service here. The front desk agent is ALWAYS so helpful and transparent about what's going on. And, he remembers me. Ok, let me put it this way: I know jack about cars, except that I need my oil changed every 3000-5000 miles. I hesitated when giving 5 stars--nearly went for the 4 because I don't freakin know what I'm talking about. But I went for the 5 because they make me feel like I'm not getting screwed over. When I need something replaced I actually trust them, and I've rarely trusted the car service industry (always deferring to someone I know personally first). They even recommended a great local place to get my brakes fixed. I'm always in and out here--I've never waited longer than 30 minutes for an oil change (even if they are doing some extra work). Last time I brought in a $3 off coupon for my oil change, but because I got some extra service done they bumped it to a 6 dollar savings. Gee, that's swell! read more

Great place, fast service, friendly staff. Not 5 stars because the mechanic looked at my oil and acted as if I were dumb for using it. I know my oil, I've been running it for years. Trust me. Besides that, a good experience overall. read more
