Took our truck in for a Hub problem on the passenger side. Upon inspection, my husband was concern other parts might need replacement also. They were very honest and straight to the point. ONLY HUBS needed replacement, nothing else. They are really looking out for their customers and ain't trying to rip people off for the work. Grease Monkey communicated with us throughout the process and kept us posted on any changes or concerns. Upon arrival, the truck was cleaned and waxed!! Definitely will be returning for any work on our vehicles. Very organized and humbled people, who value their work

Super happy with the service I received here. Took my car in for tint... competitive pricing and quality workmanship (they even washed the car). While there, I noticed they do paint-less dent repair. I’m so happy!! Can’t even tell it was ever there.

I took my car in for a tint and detailing and they went above and beyond my expectations. They do amazing work and have great customer service! They even lent me a car so I could run my errands while I waited and even gave me some free merch! I would 100% recommend going here for your cars customs needs. I will definitely be returning for more work on my other cars.

It's taken me a couple of months but I'm more than impressed by Gabe and his team at grease monkeys. I got my windows tinted from them back in May and out of all the tint shops I called in the Monterey peninsula they were the most friendly and informative and made it easy to schedule and also gave me a great deal! Windows look great! While I was there with a friend Gabe lent out a vehicle for us to use to run our errands so we didn't have to sit around for a few hours. Customer service exceeded my expectations! You definitely feel like family when you're there. Gabe insisted

I'm a newer resident to Salinas, and I don't know many people yet, so I'm having to build my own set of references for "places to go in case X happens."
In this case, X is a case of "I bought a used car cheap because someone's coffee exploded all over the interior trim, carpet, and headliner, it smells like a coffee shop and looks like a horror movie, and I can't live like this." I purchased the car from a big company in San Jose with a one week return policy based on the car's condition.
My plan: get the interior deeply cleaned, maybe replace

Recently had to get my tint worked on due to a "fix-it" ticket. Made an appointment and arrived a bit early to take my tint off. I was tended to immediately and my car was quickly taken to get the work done. When it was done, I was told of the extensive work that had to be done to take off the original tint, and continued to makE a follow up appointment to have new tint put on the following day.
I arrived the following day, had the tint redone, and just like that the team at Grease Monkeys made my car look fresh af!
Thanks to the team for doing outstanding work!

Being new to the area, I wasn't quite sure where to start when looking for a reliable shop. A friend recommended Grease Monkeys and i made my appointment with them to do a coilovers install. Gabe and his team are very welcoming and friendly! The customer service is gEverything turned out great and I love the way it came out. They definitely hooked it up and even washed my jetta for me (definitely needed it from the nonstop rain a while ago) Their pricing is definitely fair. My car is there now to do an inspection making sure everything's good and i plan to come back for more custom work

WOW. Gabe and his team are so amazing! I was looking for a good spot to detail my car (I had mold in the backseat due to spilled clam juice) and it had lots of good reviews. I decided to try it out and I am so glad I did. My car looks like a brand new car even though it's 8 years old with 200k miles on it. Will most definitely come back. Got free beef jerky and Gabe even threw in some store merch to rock too! Definitely felt like family from the moment I dropped my car off! I was well taken care of. I can't thank you guys enough!

Businesses with 5 star ratings get held to a higher standing than those with say 3.5 stars and that's because businesses with 5 stars tend to go above and beyond for their customers and do more than what's expected.
Grease Monkeys' reviews praised how amazing the shop was and how the owner's really in the business of helping his customers, not just making a quick buck, so I tried them out.
I went in for a consultation to check out a few scratches I wanted to get out of my '18 Rav4. It was easy to make an appt. but then also re-schedule my appt. when I had to move things

Hands down, THEE BEST place to go!
I purchased my very first baby and I wanted the best. I did days and days of research for window tinting places from San Francisco all the way to King City.
1. This is Gabe's shop. He owns this. And he personally greeted me, asked about my car, and gave me his opinion and suggestions. I don't know much about cars, and I barely knew anything about tinting. He was non-judgemental and nice enough to explain things to me.
2. They had cars out front with different types of tint and different shades of tint. It was really cool to be able to sit in the cars

Quality! Worth every penny. Wish I had gone in sooner. My car looks amazing!
My '09 car had a dent (~6in diameter) on the hood, cloudy headlights, and a dull exterior. Gabe and his wife were able to remove the dent (and even worked on another dent gratis), make the headlights look crystal clear, and throw in a wash with the special shine on the caps :D I'm on a budget, so I essentially asked them to do as much as possible until they hit my budget. I know I got WAY MORE VALUE than I paid for.
I could not be more pleased with the outcome. My little '09 car looks amazing. Gabe and

As a birthday surprise for my wonderful son in law Wunsa, we decided to have his 2015 Dodge Charger windows tinted and the car detailed. As an excuse to have Wunsa's car for the day I asked to borrow it so I could take my car into the dealership (on his birthday!).
