I've been coming here regularly for more than 5 years. ALWAYS fast and professional service. It's been largely the same core of workers during that time, which I take as a good sign. Services are reasonably priced and there is a spartan but clean waiting room. Sure they make suggestions - especially routine maintenance things. Since my vehicle is in their database they keep track of the routine maintenance needed to keep the vehicle going at peak performance. No pressure from them and I appreciate it. In fact, a couple years ago they made a suggestion regarding a needed repair (which they couldn't do) - wound up saving me $$$ and a biiiiiiiig headache. Thanks guys. FWIW - My vehicle is a 2001 4WD 4Runner with more than 175k miles. read more

I saw the previous review saying Tom and the crew are no longer here, but I just couldn't believe it until today! They are GONE! I've been coming here for over a decade and have always looked forward to the professional service and experienced advice. The new crew does not exude any quality of professionalism, and I felt like I couldn't fully trust that the recommendations weren't just an attempt to get some more money. The old crew would walk through any issues and suggest clear solutions without pressuring a purchase. Really disappointed in the drop in quality, thank you Tom and the old crew for the years of service! I will be looking for a new shop :/ read more

Grease Monkey - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

What happened to previous crew. Went in this morning and a bunch of new guys. Was in for a oil change and a customer was complaining because he just had oil service and when he left he realized they did put oil in his truck! Wth! I left. If they cant remember to put oil in after oil change ....what else will they miss! WHERE IS TOM AND THE REGULAR CREW!? read more

I was in Tuscon to visit my daughter and stopped to get an oil change. George the assistant manager was extra helpful. He found a huge problem with the tires took me out to show me. He told me where I could go repair the problem as it was not something they could do. It might have saved my daughter's life or from injury! I really appreciate that extra help! That extra help is appreciated by this mom! read more

Tom the manager runs a great group of guys working here I've always been impressed with the great service I get. read more

See all

Tom and his crew do an outstanding job. They are very honest, and only recommend necessary parts or services. He has also referred me to an excellent specialized repairperson. He and his staff are always cheerful and very service oriented. read more

New to the area, I needed a quick oil change, and this company delivered. There was a high level of responsiveness, knowledge, and professionalism on the part of the staff and manager. While we were waiting in the lobby, which took less than ten minutes, the manager made my kids feel special by giving them sunglasses. In my experience, the staff was friendly and approachable, so I would definitely recommend this place to anyone seeking car services. read more

Fast and thorough. 25 minutes in out done! Superior experience to even my fleet mechanic.

I have never had any problems with this location. The staff if readily available and Tom the manager is nice enough to go over what your car or truck may need but never pushy! read more

Went for an oil change. 2 days later, white smoke everytime I start the car, every time my gears switch, just WHITE SMOKE!!!! Went the Thoroughbred Nissan to learn I HAD NO OIL!!!!!!!! Funny I call in and ask questions about no oil being on a dip stick and what that might mean... Tom knew exactly who I was without me introducing myself,. because he remembers not putting oil back in my vehicle!!! To corporate I go!!! read more

I was treated horribly at the Golf Links location. After having to tell them three times what I needed I was told to leave.

Dishonest, devious, deceptive frauds! 31.99 oil change exceeded $60. Air filters filthy and needed, but overpriced by 3 times what they cost. Other recommended services not needed according to the mechanic I had to visit the next day to figure out why my truck suddenly quit on the interstate. 4 years and 2 months with my Toyota Tacoma and NEVER had an issue. Coincidence? read more

The manager in charge today and one employee, George, refused to give us our free oil change on our punch card TWO visits in a row. We went in on our last visit expecting our oil change to be free through the punch card loyalty and were denied and told the following time would be free. We show up the next time still being denied our free loyalty card oil change with absolutely no help from the two men in the front desk. No offer to help just mansplaining how they'll get in trouble if they give us our sixth visit loyalty card free oil change. To sum it up, the loyalty card is a hoax and they'll keep charging you & making up excuses. read more

I was charged $111.00 for the Synthetic oil change. I NEVER thought I would be changed such a ridiculous amount for not asking before hand. They reduced it a little bit because I complained about it and all they could reduced it by was $10.00. I have NEVER paid more than sixty some dollars a Synthetic oil change. Do not do business with them!! They showed how untrustworthy they truly are by charging that amount and not telling the customer beforehand that it would be that expensive!! read more

I usually pay under $60 at Brake Masters, but I saw a sign that said $26.99. It took them less than 8 minutes to rip me for $91.57. The mechanics were incredibly fast and polite, and time is money. If you have nothing better to do with $40 and don't want to sit around at Break Masters for 2 hours, go here. They should change their sign. It was $102 but they added an online coupon to save $10. read more

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to service! Reasonable prices here and took great care of my car service needs! They also have great online coupons ! Definitely recommend ! read more

Not the cheapest but fast and no wait for an oil change. I got what seemed to be some good advice, too.

Grease Monkey, you earned this 1 star rating. I quit going to this location a while ago and was reminded why. I go to a nice Brake Masters further easy on Speedway but I was in a hurry as I just bought this car and wanted the oil changed before the work week began. Bad idea. When there is a good manager here, the place seems alright. But my latest (and last) experience has taught me to seek better places. I always expect the usual attempt to make repairs and change fluids (your fluids aren't pink, the wiper isn't wiping etc)- it's what you get at Grease Monkey, and sometimes they are right, but it is pressuring and annoying. Aside from that, I pulled up around 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday and a very upset mechanic yelled out an obscenity about "not having to deal with this ****." He angrily came to my window to take down my information and seemed very short with me. Perhaps he expected to have to work late (they close at 5) or something, or his anger was directed at something else, but either way, Grease Monkey earns a 1 star. And I don't get those out often. But lousy customer service seems to be what they excel in here, and this 1 star is earned. Bonus: while there, I heard another customer grumble about their bully tactics to get repairs done, and I converted him to a wonderful place on the east side and gave him the name and information and he said he would start going there. read more

I went here because I read Kevin D.'s review about how they only give you what you need, guaranteed. However, that was not the case when I came here. I have a hard time going to get my oil changed by myself, as a young female who only knows the very basics about cars (maybe that's my problem). This scenario was no different. While they had my car in and out in 10 minutes (on a Friday morning), the amount of salesmanship I received outweighed the good. I'm all for recommendations on what needs to be worked on or updated, but I felt like the staff was using technical lingo on purpose, and not answering my questions fully because they were stretching the truth. I may be wrong, but upon consulting my car-savvy father later, I learned I did not need the work they recommended. read more

Good experience, fair price and quick service on a basic conventional oil change. Price quoted was the price charged but I specified that I wanted conventional oil and thats what they did. Everywhere you go these days you'll get the free multipoint inspection, which is their opportunity to try to sell you more than you knew you wanted. This place is no exception, but they did not try to hard sell when I declined extra services. The extra services I thought were very over priced (e.g. $40 for a cabin air filter, which was actually dirty and needed changing, but this is a $10 part at an auto parts store and literally takes 30 seconds to install). Overall they were quick, did what I wanted and were up front about the price. read more

This place has always been on my yellow flag list. Never having used them before I decided to give them a go. I had to get my oil changed it was $24bucks, i dont know if thats the cheapest yet, But....... $50 dollars is what i payed for a Fuel Filter they installed, these things cost $15 bucks on the cheap, and thats the kind i got. I should've done this myself, but i was lazy, and now Im just stupid. It really takes 5 minutes to install,grrr. The service was a bit cold, I didnt know there was an inside area, so i waited outside(100 degrees). I like it there but I wish i knew about my options. an old fashion "you could wait inside" would have sufficed. I told some other people about my ordeal, and found nothing but bad reviews. These people have never heard of yelp, so im speaking on their behalf. Just Two more people that distrust this place. read more

They did the service fine. They were quick. Did try to sell me some additional stuff but I was expecting that since I probably do need a new air filter. Told them I chose them because of Yelp. They were also nice enough to give me a coupon for my oil change. read more

It took these guys 10 minutes to change the oil, fill tires, and check fluids. Well done! They even had a coupon online to save $13 on the oil change. Very pleased. read more

Two things to remember before anyone posts reviews for any lube/mechanic shop: 1. 90% of recommendations from shops are based on manufacturer requirements, not the opinion of the guys at the lube shop; 2. Your father may have understood how his 1982 Chevy worked, but unless he works in the mechanic industry he has probably not kept informed of changes in cars since then (To wit, try taking his advice on using any oil other than a synthetic in any vehicle newer than 2010 and then watch the glee in your dealer's face as he voids your warranty.) I've been taking my truck to Grease Monkey ever since I moved to Tucson and, as a concerned owner who does most of my own maintenance at home, I like the fact that they don't seem to have much of a separation of duties in the shop. That means that the guys who sell me services also perform the services, so they know what they're talking about. As a self-responsible adult I have no problem turning down any of their recommendations either because I can't afford it or I'd rather do it myself, but I appreciate that they keep me informed of the manufacturer's requirements. And they've always been able to speak intelligently about the status of my truck. Car health is important to these guys. You don't expect a chef to tell you that canned chicken is just as good as organic. You don't expect a dentist to tell you that flossing once a month is all you really need. Why expect your mechanics to hold a lower standard for their trade? I'll be going to these guys for a long while. read more

Only went here once but I was impressed. There was no line ahead of me and I was done in less than 20 minutes for a basic oil change! On top of that they also vacuumed out the front seat, which was a huge plus! It's in a convenient Central location and the price was fair. If I'm in the area I wouldn't mind stopping by again read more

FYI......upsells on unnecessary items. Took Tundra in for oil change. Was told the gear box (differentials on 4x4) needed change at 50k. Dealer said after checking, the synthetic that is put in the vehicle didn't need changing until 90k. Now the truck has a lesser quality oil that will need changing mire frequently. Consumer beware. Check dealer recommendations BEFORE accepting the lube shops. This location, maybe others. Maybe even other Lube places are doing the same. read more

This place advertises a $21.99 oil change on their site and a $24.99 oil change on their sign but when all was said and done, they tried charging me $83.99 without any warning. I expect a small oil disposal fee from most places but this is absurd. On top of that they tried selling me an a/c filter replacement when I just changed it a week ago.... and they even had the gaul to show it to me and convince me that it was dirty. read more

First time in for an oil change and I was pleased with how quick the service was. I was the only customer there, and my oil change was done in ~10 minutes. Going in, I knew that my car was up to date on services, and was happy when they told me the same and didn't push any extra services. The employees were very friendly and even washed (all of) my windows and vacuumed the front of my car. I have never had that happen at any other grease monkey, and I was very appreciative! I will be going back to this location for my next service! read more

These guys rock!!! This is the best and honest quick service I've ever been. They won't try to sell you anything that isn't needed. Great prices . In and out service every time. read more

This place is always quick, they let me know when they see, hear, or smell a problem they can't fix and let me know what to do about it, and they never pressure me into an upsale, they just make recommendations. It's my spot for an oil change. read more

Get a firm quote before you let them move your car onto the rack. A "$26.99 oil change" is a loss leader come-on. Not only do they try to up-sell you on all sorts of non-essential things (transmission, fuel system flushes), but the oil change itself balloons up and up. A Mobil One change with filter just set me back over $100. Ouch! This, for a service a dealership will charge about $40. My bad for not asking in advance. read more

After having some bad experiences with similar businesses in the past, I was pleasantly surprised with Grease Monkey and the services provided. Tom and his crew were honest and provided me with all of the information about what was needed and why. Fast and friendly service is the reason I will return to this location, and their work is why I'll recommend them to anyone. read more

i have been going here for five years and have always had good experiences. I feel like to guys who work there are alway very respectful and take time to explain things to me. Plus, they always let me bring my dog into the waiting room Their prices are reasonable and they are always really quick. I totally recommend them. read more

My experience was terrible at Grease Monkey. All I needed was a simple oil change. The workers tried scaring me into buying all sorts of new parts and fluids for my car. I take care of the fluids on my own so I know none of them needed refilling; and my dad (a mechanic) checks out all the insides whenever I'm home visiting. So my car is regularly checked on and taken care of. After numerous attempts of upselling, I finally was able to leave with just a simple oil change. It was a hassle but one I wouldn't want to live through again. read more

I went there one day before I hit the road and had a good experience. They began sending me coupons for $17.00 oil changes so I have been back. With my job I put 3,000 hard miles on my car every five weeks so price is important but it is the service that keeps me coming back. The owner is there all the time, he deals with his customers, doesn't try and sell me all this extra crap but does inform me of things that my mechanic husband needs to look at. They get me in and out in less than 20 minutes consistently so they have won my business. My time ='s money and they know that so they take good care of me. read more

They have a slogan like "Only what you need. Guaranteed." That is pretty refreshing compared to other places I have gotten my oil changed at. They always have sales going on and it's not too hard to find a coupon so I've never actually paid full-price. And I just got my fifth oil change from them, so with my punch card, the next one is free :D The staff is professional and friendly too. read more

Went in for an oil change and they pointed out to me that one of my tires was in beyond dangerous shape! Thanks for not just checking fluids and looking at the car, but for really looking at my car to make sure it is a safe vehicle to drive. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I paid $102 for an oil change they never did! I drove less than 2000 miles before having a minor issue with my vehicle. I stopped at a different mechanic and they fixed my problem. They told me that my car needed an oil change. I brushed it off because i had just paid the Grease Monkey to do it. The next day my maintenance light came on. Sure enough it was my oil. I had the other mechanics fix it and went back to Grease Monkey to request a refund. I kept receipts from both places and had a photo of my maintenance light with my miles in it. The manager (along with his employees) seemed nervous and scrambled. They were extremely rude to me and refused to refund me my money. When i asked for the corporate number the manager told me "This is the corporate store" and proceeded to give me the store number. Upon looking at the receipt further, i noticed the real corporate number was at the bottom He lied to me about that too. Seems like these guys have something to hide. They are very DISHONEST and UNTRUSTWORTHY. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! I paid $102 for an oil change and they did not change it! I drove 2000 miles before i had a minor issue with my vehicle. I had it looked at by different mechanics and they fixed the problem. They went on to tell me i needed an oil change. I brushed it off because i had just paid to have my oil changed at the Grease Monkey. One day later my maintenance light turned on. Sure enough I needed my oil changed. After having my oil changed by the other mechanics, I went back to Grease Monkey to request a refund. I had my receipts from both places and a photo of my maintanence light being on with my mileage in it. The manager (along with his employees) seemed nervous and scrambled. They were extremely rude to me and refused to refund my money. When i asked for their corporate number he told me 'This store is the corporate building' and proceeded to give me the store number. Turns out the corporate number is actually on the receipt they gave me so he lied to me about that too! Seems like they have something to hide. These guys are very DISHONEST and UNTRUSTWORTHY! read more

Good service keeps me coming back. Like every other place, they recommend additional services, but only what's need. It's fast, affordable, and they don't hassle you if you decide you don't want what they recommend. Plus, their reminder cards come with coupons! Who can beat a $27 oil change? read more
