Grease Monkey

Awesome place! The guys are hard working and fast and the owner is super friendly, along with his pup who hangs out in the waiting area. They always go over your car inspection with you but never push anything to be done. I have gone here three times in the last few months and will keep going.

Came to this spot based off of the other reviews and I can say it is a very honest place they really do explain everything and show you exactly what they are doing and what needs to be done. This is the kind of service I’ve been looking for in the Virginia area for a while now and I can honestly say that I will continue my service with grease monkey for as long as I remain in Virginia. Also the customer service is excellent very professional and approachable and no need to be afraid to ask any questions cause they will be answered to the best of there ability without a doubt. This is an awesome place and I would just try it if I were you it is a little more pricy but well worth it with the service quality trust me on this one you can’t beat good service especially when it comes to your vehicle.

Like a lot of people, I have had some bad experiences with mechanics. This is a great place. Very nice, not pushy and worked quickly. Everything you would want in a mechanic! Prices are fair. I will definitely be returning.

I don’t take my car anywhere else. I never have felt like I was being tricked or fooled into buying anything here and the man who runs the shop is very patient and explains things to people like me who don’t understand cars. It’s a half hour drive from home but I don’t mind. He once took a look at my husbands car to figure out why his engine light was on and he had to call in a specialist just to determine there was no real issue. Even after all of that, he didn’t charge him. Go here if you have anxiety about taking your car in for service.

Amazing service. First time trying them due to all their great Unilocal reviews and I’m glad I did. Really friendly. They explain everything. No up selling. No pressure. As a women, I felt comfortable. I even just had my car cleaned and the tire shine was spotty and he touched up my tires. So sweet. About 15 minutes to get my oil changed. Made me feel real welcome. Just found my permanent spot for car service.

I went to Grease Monkey mainly because it has very good reviews from past customers. Needless to say, Scott the owner did stand by his ethical business principles. My car had a squeaky sound especially when I was making turns. I thought it was the power steering pump. Another issue was that the oil plug had stripped the oil pan threads and was leaking oil. Scott took the time to investigate the issues and came up with solutions, options and prices for each option. He was professional, respectful and very transparent educating me with regards to my available options to fix the car. An hour later the car was fixed and I was able to carry on with my day. Scott earned my trust. All I can say is that he is extremely rare in this kind of business. If anyone reads my comment, I will sincerely advise to service your car at Grease Monkey.

Went in for a simple oil change a couple of weeks ago. I was nervous because it was my first ever oil change. Everybody here was super professional and never pressured me into anything. The change itself only took about 5 minutes. I was very surprised at how efficient and professional this place was. Will definitely go back for the recommended work I couldn’t afford at the time.

Amazing, top notch customer service has earned my business for as long as I live in VA! The owner is a great guy (from Portland, OR!)who wants to earn each of his customers’ respect and trust which is so refreshing in the auto industry.
I would recommend this place for anything to do with your cars maintenance!
Plus they bring their adorable lab, Toby, to the shop everyday! He’s so sweet!

Knowledgeable and professional staff. Fast and affordable. Very impressive service.

Outstanding customer service. The dog is chill and not all over people. Most importantly, the management actually cares about their customers. By that. I mean that they will honestly tell you if it’s necessary to change something immediately or if it can wait if money is short. I’d highly recommend to at least give them a chance

Very helpful and friendly. Quick good quality service and Toby the dog is so relaxed and pettable

My first time here and I was so nervous because I have had bad experience but they were very friendly, helpful and made me feel at eased. I went in for an oil change. The great part about the whole service was on of the workers came into the lobby and showed me the oil on my oil stick which were were it was suppose to be. This made me feel comfortable and put my mind at eased! Thanks guys for the hard and dedicated work you do! I will be back. You have a loyal customer in me!

What a great experience!
I was fourth in line and dropped my car off so I could get back to work. I should have waited as they were done with my vehicle in 20 minutes!
No pressure for upsells. The lady that went over my paperwork (I am so sorry that I didn’t get her name) was knowledgeable and courteous.
I will only come here from now on for my oil changes.
Make sure you go to their website and print out a coupon before you go!

This is the first time I’ve been here; though I’ve driven past it a few times. They had very courteous staff who were laid back but explained everything. I just needed a quick oil change, not anything extra. I was sticking to my guns and being cheap. What I liked was that there wasn’t any pressure or hard sell. I said no, and they were cool about it. So it make me more likely to come back to get those suggestions done.
The wait was longer than I wanted, but I’m an impatient person. So I guess I’m normal people time, it was average.
I was entertained by this guy in the waiting room who had a commentary for EVERY DANG THING. Ya gotta have a character to keep the spirits up while a History Channel documentary on aliens played on the TV. I watched it for the cool hairstyles of the commentators.
As long as these grease monkeys aren’t obnoxious crap-​throwing ones who try to pressure you to pay for extra things you don’t want or don’t need or don’t know about… I think I’m a repeat customer.

New to the area and needed car repair. The owner was very helpful and explained exactly what was going on with my car. U definitely will go to them anytime I need service.

The guy who was the manager was very courteous. I didn’t have a long wait time at all some other places across the street from them was «too busy»
Glad i surfed across the street after.
I WILL BE BACK!!!

The owner is actively involved. Quality service, competitively priced and conveniently located. I will be a loyal customer. Give this Grease Monkey location an opportunity to earn your business.

I have been a customer of this business for the past 2 years. They have serviced my vehicles with care and impeccable attention to detail. Scott is a great owner, who definately places his customers above anything else. He is the best service shop owner I have met in VA if not ever. They provide quality service and will not upsell you on any additional services. Scott is a straight shooter and will ensure your vehicle is serviced as if it was his own vehicle. Highly Recommend and I look forward to future service at this shop. A+++

The sign out front says «Try us and let us earn your trust» and after reading the reviews for the repair shop across the street, I was sold. I pulled into Grease Monkey and had them change the oil and rotate the tires. I wandered away to McDonalds and when I returned, I was a little disappointed to see that my car was still in the garage. No worries — they wanted to know if I would like to have the cabin air filter replaced. And then he showed it to me. Ick! «Yes, please change it!»
With the oil change, tire rotation and cabin air filter ($ 14 for the filter online, they charged $ 29.99 for the filter and labor), my total was under a hundred bucks.
I’d return here for sure.

Great friendly service!
Fast, reasonably priced. No nonsense group of hard working guys.
I called in and pulled up 30 minutes later, they had me in and out real fast and pointed out some other things besides the oil but didn’t try to pressure a sale.
As I pulled out my tire pressure was low, and they quickly fixed that too.
Great place! I Highly recommend!
