For all those "pleasant" car issues that need to be addressed…read more First and foremost doing reviews on automotive service providers is always a challenge. People have all kinds of varying opinions, expectations, and a lot of people have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to car repairs. To summarize: if you can do it yourself, then do it yourself I come here primarily for oil changes, and they are competent with that. Someone will almost always tell you something else needs attention or needs to be done. That's just the nature of the beast and will occur at almost ANY similar establishment. I simply tell them that "I'll handle the air filter later" and that's the end of it. I've never felt a harder push, but I think its required of the staff. One note of caution: Be wary of asking them to do a service that seems a little outside of their primary service set. I asked the guys to change a belt once and the guy failed to finish it before close of business. THAT was a hassle. Fortunately they gave me a lift home and I didn't require my car right away the next day. This was NOT at the 1701 Riverside location, but I've been weary of "going outside the box" ever since. Oil changes, and other simple services? Grease Monkey is solid. Just have the fortitude to say no to their recommendations once in a while.

At Grease Monkey, 6302 E Riverside, Lives Park IL, I was treated rudely from the moment I called to…read moresee how bust they were yesterday afternoon. I stopped at the Riverside location , as they told me on the phone there was no waiting...The manager stood with his hands on his hips, didn't nod or speak. So I thought they wanted me to drive the car in. I did. I was given a terrible look. I asked if there was a problem. He said normally people don't just drive in. I replied that at other places, you drive in and I do know how to drive. From the phone conversation to the last minute I was there, the manager was rude and definitely not wanting to have to work. I chose to drive out, without doing business there. Maybe the managers attitude is why there were no other customers there. Will never go back.

My experience with this company is definitely not a good one. First of all I was told it would be 2…read morepossible 3 weeks to fix why my car was fuel starved. It turned out to but just over 2 months of them having my car. I never harrassed with calls checking on it. Only calls made were because the employee lied and said he was "just finishing up rewiring the car back and he would call once he finished road test" and then poof no calls no nothing. My car sounded perfectly fine it just was starved of fuel and sputtered a bit. Now after getting it back it sounds like a diesal truck and smokes to high hell(I have a video 2 weeks before storing in my garage for winter of it running and doesnt sound like it does now nor did it ever smoke.. it did leak trans fluid from bullet but I told them about that). I was charged just over $1500 for something I was told should have been less than half that. Drove the car from their shop then literally got 2 blocks from home and she died. Was told it needed gas before I left so I had the person that followed me get me 5 gallons and tried to fire it up again and she knocks like a S.O.B. and wouldn't stay going. I had to get towed home. I took car to different shop and showed them the paperwork I got from this place and they just laughed at me and said you paid all that for this quality of work and they almost didn't want to work behind them but told me he would look at it when he got time and we could go from there. I definitely feel like they got over on me with the time frame they had the car and the work that was done. Not 1 time during this whole ordeal did they communicate ANYTHING to me just a bunch of we won't have time to finish today and it wil be done tomorrow which were all lies. The car is over 50yrs old and doesn't have much wiring to deal with but that seemed like his go to to stretch things out and just rob me of my hard earned money. Not happy at all with what was done and would never return nor recommend this place for anything vehicle related. He was pushing me to just LS swap the motor after I got upset for how long it's taking and for what they didn't do yet. It literally took him 6wks bedore tell me after I pulled up that they may need to drop gad tank and look inside WOWZERS. MOST would say why didn't I just take car from them when they were acting funny and my response is I already had time and some labor cost(money) invested and I hoped that they would do what they say they would but I was EXTREMELY wrong on that and it was a $1555 mistake. They literally removed old electronic fuel pump and added new one that they screwed and bolted to my tank with AN fitting and a regulator was added in bay area as well with new lines and thats it. 12hrs of labor cost but about $100 in parts and 2+ months of wasted time. That didn't and doesn't sit right with me at all. USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK
