Customer service was fine. I did ask that all of the fluids be checked and the guy said that they Ialways do with an oil change. My car had indicated that the coolant needed to be checked. The paperwork said it checked okay yet my indicator stated that it was still low. Needless to say, the coolant was quite low and had to be filled. Its possible that Grease Monkey doesnt carry the type of coolant that my car takes, which is fine, but I would have appreciated a heads up as I am taking the car on a road trip.
Anyone will be exceptionally pleased with the service provided by Golden Grease Monkey. Their whole attitude is directed to the customer, finding their needs, and providing quality work on your vehicle. Try them and you will be glad you did.
There were a few things that really rubbed me wrong about my visit. When I went to pay for my oil change I asked him if he checked my brake lights like they usually do(different location) and he said he did but its sunny out so its hard to see.. well thats just laziness because half the parking lot was in the shade you just had to drive the car forward. I told him I think one of my brake lights is out so he went to go check and grabbed a coworker to help him... well when he approached the co worker, the coworker rolled his eyes and looked so annoyed and I could see him through the window clear as day...I went outside and told them never mind I didnt realize it was such an inconvenience, no apology or word from the guy that rolled his eyes...like come on. I work in customer service and thats just not okay, it wasnt even a hard task? Or if you actually did it the first time around he wouldnt of had to bother you and ask for your help. Also my mileage on my car is 85000 and i was told the oil change I did is good for 6000 miles but the sticker on my window is for 88000 so either thats a sketchy thing they do at this location to get you to come in 3000 miles early for your oil change, rip off! Or they just cant do math. I wont be back. No wonder they are hiring, I wouldnt want to work with these guys either.
These places can be very hit or miss. Even within a franchise, one place can provide great service, while another one down the road could be terrible. Fortunately, the Grease Monkey in Golden has been fantastic! They are very fast, very through and the pricing is reasonable. Ive used them for a few years now and would not hesitate to recommend.
Friendly helpful staff, got Im and out in under 25 min.
AVOID: Preying on the gullible and naive.I called.Me: Can you do an oil change for a [year make model]?Him: I would need to know the year make model.Me: I just told you the year make model.Him: I would need to see it.Me: You can’t tell me if you can do an oil change on a [year make model]?Him: I need to know the engine size…(trails off in the tone of starting long troublesome list)Me: [engine, liters, cam]Him: Yeah I just need to have you bring it so I can take a look at it.Me: What are you missing? I can tell you the oil and oil filter.Him: I can’t say without seeing it.Me: Let me give you the VIN so you can look it up.Him: I really just need you to bring it in in order to say.Me (scolding incredulity): No you don’t.Him: ….nh…I…(hangs up)For the record every other place I called I called (or have *ever* called) can tell me this incredibly basic information.
Stopped in for a quick oil change on my way out of town. SUPER friendly and accommodating staff all the way around. Had me in and out within 20 min
This morning I drove up and requested an oil change. Joseph came up to my car and asked me same as last time? I let him know that I am not sure what I did last time. He replied that he didnt know either, as if I should have remembered? I said I guess I would need the same as last time, but did not receive any recommendations for my car, etc. After I said that, he walked away. I had to ask him as he was walking away, how much this would cost? It was $79.99, so I asked if there were other options? He said that I could, but it would not be recommended for my car because I need the best oil for my car. Only then did he show me only the upper left hand corner of the information sheet on the clipboard that was mostly covered up by other paperwork. He seemed perturbed by the whole conversation and I walked into the office feeling like I was being taken advantage of, instead of taken care of like a valued customer.When I got my bill, the service was actually $80.99 and he mentioned that he had to charge me for the drain plug for $6.00 which they have to do every oil change since the plugs are plastic. I reviewed my last two oil change receipts and this charge was not on my previous invoices.Finally, there is wifi at this location but the wifi password is not posted anywhere; you have to wait for a member of the staff to come in to the office (which is intermittent) and then wait until they tell you the password verbally.This is too bad because this is a departure from the kind, informative service I used to receive at this Grease Monkey location in Golden. After todays poor service experience, I will now be looking for a new oil change provider.
Great staff! They made sure my tire pressures were correct and recommended a reputable brakes company . Thx!
Let me start by saying I went for an oil change and the oil change was done in a timely manner. They took me right away and my car was reset properly. However, as a nurse and just generally someone who regards other peoples rights around me, I am extremely frustrated with how unprofessional they were regarding COVID precautions. When I got there, the gentleman was wearing a buff covering his nose and mouth while he interacted with me and took my car in. He told me where to wait and as I entered the door, they had the sign posted saying that masks are required at all times. However, as soon as I walk in there was a customer with no mask. When I looked in the garage, everyone except ONE staff member was not wearing a mask. When I asked the guy who worked there why they werent enforcing the mask mandate he said (talking about the customer not wearing a mask who had just then left) well he comes in all the time and refuses to wear one. Theres nothing I can do and I responded yea there is, you can not serve him and when I brought up the multiple staff members not wearing masks he said well my boss says we dont have to wear them while were working on the cars, just when we bring the cars in and out and when were interacting with customers. There was no hand sanitizer present, no social distancing in the waiting area, no clean vs. dirty pens....nothing that most other businesses are doing to try and keep people safe. If this is something that you care about, take your car elsewhere and spend your money elsewhere.
Good customer service and havent experienced a mistake yet.
They were very busy but still got me in and out of there in 30minutes and had a great attitude about it too. Thanks!
First time using this specific shop but they got me in and out quickly and did a good job of setting expectations in advance (the car I have requires a more expensive oil which they covered before they started any work).
Employee greeted me right away and was very courteous and professional. My oil change was done quickly and said all of the other fluids looked good. Didnt try to sell me unnecessary services. I got a free car wash that was badly needed and when my code didnt work (user error) had no problem getting me another one promptly. Strongly recommend this business!
I was quickly in and out, they did a good job, and got a free car wash!
Great lube job! Thanks dudes
This crew was very busy but stayed on top of their workload and did a perfect job. Top notch quality and service! See you next time, fellas!
I’m not one for writing reviews... (1st ever review to be exact) But the professionalism & cost of service at this location is hit or miss. The guy who greeted me was RUDE. Although the man who wrapped up my service was super nice. It cost $115.00 for an oil change, which went up drastically from my last visit at this location. I know gas prices are increasing daily due to the unfortunate changes our country is going through. But come on! Where’s the loyalty for your returning customer’s? Consistency is key.. this place is sketch!
These guys are the best location in the area.
Kind and knowledgeable staff!
Quick and helpful service but they refused to give me a basic oil change - the cheapest one they would sell me was about $80. They said they were required to sell me the synthetic oil - seemed a bit bogus. I have taken the car to reputable places - including the dealer - for 7 years and have always been able to get a basic oil change.
Fast. Easy. You get a free car wash
The staff at the hampden location spent more time talking and texting than they did on my car. Will not return
Waited for 30 minutes after they took my car into the bay then they came and told me they didn’t have the filter for my car. Could they not figure that out before. Said there was a shortage
Very nice people. I went here kind of desperate because I was having a really bad oil leak on a Saturday evening (a lot of repair places were closing/closed) and I just wanted someone to change the oil for me and potentially tell me where it was leaking (They do not do auto repairs at Grease Monkey). They ended up not changing the oil bc the said the leak was pretty large and told me a repair place should look at it. However, they topped off my oil so I could get it to another location safety. I was really stressed pretty much the whole time and them being so nice was very kind.
I live in Breckenridge and was in Golden doing errands. I decided since I was near by I would have them check my fluids as my heat was not blowing very hot air. The guys were extremely nice and even added some oil because it was low. I hope with all that is going on in the world this business survives!
Friendly, quick, and helpful!
I have had many great experiences at this Grease Monkey over the years, and often end up traveling far to use them because I can rely on such great service, plus a great car wash thrown in. This time, I had 3 young kids in tow. They were all super friendly and helpful with the kids, communicating super age-appropriately that they could watch through the window (not in the garage), letting me nurse, etc. when I lost something and drove back to check for it, one guy was already checking the bathroom and another asking what it was I couldn’t find so could look for it and call if it was found later. (I found it in my car ultimately, as had I expected the whole time.) Thank you, Golden Grease Monkey!
My 19 year old daughter came in today for an oil change and was charged $99. I was told by a representative over the phone afterwards that they presented her with list of options. As you can tell from other reviews this list is clearly confusing and complete prices are not quoted up front. I feel they took full advantage of a young women. Now this poor college student is screwed financially.
Good, fast, courteous service
Oil change cost me $73 for a little over 6 quarts with a $7 off coupon. They do not vacuum the car out due to COVID which is part of the price and their car wash was broken which is also part of the price. No discounts were given for these shortfalls. There are vacuums out back but they still charge even if you do it yourself. Vacuuming is included in the price. The crew working was friendly and they were fast at the oil change. No line at about 10am on Friday. It took maybe 30 minutes.
I had the extreme displeasure of running into Joseph when I showed up to get the oil changed in my truck. From the moment I pulled up he was extremely rude and hostile towards me and acted like me pulling up to get an oil change over an hour before they closed was a huge burden for him. He was very disrespectful and made obnoxious pointing gestures at me whenever he wanted to get my attention, and just in general was extremely unprofessional. This is easily in top 5 worst customer experience moments Ive ever had. Rest assured I will never be coming back to this grease monkey.
Prompt and Quick Service! Good Job!
The staff is always so friendly and honest. I always have a positive experience!
Excellent service, quick and professional
Fast. Reliable. Honest. Fair price.
I would give more stars solely because the guys at these places are always friendly as are super corporate places. However I have full synthetic which means I 100% get 6k until another oil change and 10k if it’s looks alright and makes it that long. I don’t push it though. However the sticker they put on my window only goes to 3k. I think that’s wildly shady and taking advantage of people who don’t pay attention to car stuff.
Always friendly staff. Good work done, they get it done well, and quick. Always go to the Golden location if i can. Thanks everyone
I had my oil changed quickly and the guys were very professional! Im pleased with the service.
Service was excellent. I was greeted promptly and the service was finished in about 20 minutes. We will continue to come to this location for our automotive needs. Thank you!
Very rude. 1 car in front of us, in the bay and they said an 1½hr wait. Everyone standing around. Go to jiffy lube across the street.
Got an oil change and a pretty good wash
Very friendly staff, good prices and nice carwash. Ill definitely come back.
This GM is my go-to oil change location. The manager on duty super professional and so fast. I trust them when they tell me what my car needs. Also love getting a carnation in the spring, things like that make my day! Thanks guys!
Super fast service. Got company truck oil change done today. Great staff, very professional and friendly.
This was my first time coming to this location for an oil change. Super friendly, professional and it was a very quick service. I also appreciated them not trying to up sell me on unnecessary services like most places I go to usually do. I will definitely be coming back! Thank You!
Ive been going to get oil changes here for the last few years. The crew is always friendly, speedy, and reliable. I also like that Walgreens is right next door.
They changed my oil and flushed my radiator. Decent price, I was in and out.
I’ve been coming here for the last year and have had the best experience possible. They do a great job at doing what you need them to do. There’s no pressure sales, and they won’t recommend anything you don’t need. They get you in and out very quickly with great quality.
Clay and his crew have always treated us so well! They’ve been nothing less than the fastest, most efficient, friendly, and consistent team I’ve had the pleasure of giving my business! I wish they’d start their own shop so I could bring my car to them for all services and repairs.Seriously, this is the absolute best service I’ve encountered in car maintenance and care. Would recommend to anybody and everybody.It actually surprises me that they aren’t more busy.Simply put, Clay is the sh**! Go see him.
Service done quickly and efficiently. I returned a couple days after the service with some questions which were also addressed in friendly and professional manner. Great customer service.
The person who cut my daughters bangs was super nice! She kept on asking if the length was good and if we needed anything else.You always want to feel in a welcoming environment and we will definitely be coming back.
Wow! So fast! I arrived, information was taken before I got out of the car. I waited the quiet, comfortable lobby maybe 15 minutes! Then my car was ready! Record time!
Amazing customer service! I was in and out very quickly and they went above and beyond. I feel like this place is a rare gem in the auto industry and I’ll never take my car anywhere else for an oil change.
Amazing customer service, and very quick. I have been to take 5 where it’s only suppose to take 5 minutes and gets dragged out to 30 but these guys got it done in less than 10. One thing I noticed they check was my rear differential which was new to me. Definitely recommend
Was in and out of there so fast with my 2012 Ram 1500, I brought back my 77 Malibu and had bothered cars oil changed with an hour, including the trip to exchange vehicles. Excellent.
Fast, efficient and curious service
I look forward to getting my oil changed at this Grease Monkey. Perhaps its because Ive been coming to this same location since it opened, but I am welcomed, remembered, and I feel genuinely appreciated as a customer by the employees here.Pro tip: this is one of the only Grease Monkeys locations with a toaster oven and cookie dough. I make myself glorious gooey cookies every time :)Bonus points for a free car wash code with every oil change!
Everybody here was extremely courteous. The service was fast and excellent. This is by far the best oil change shop I’ve ever visited. Thank you!
They cleverly put a seal around the oil drain plug that was leaking instead of calling my vehicle an oil leaker. It infact stopped leaking, they fixed the problem and did not even tell me or brag about it! These people are great, much better than your dealership guys. $70ish for a fully synthetic oil change, you cant beat this!
Always good, quick service. Have to avoid the typical upsell attempts that all quick service oil change centers do, but otherwise great experience. Check the website for a coupon for a few dollars off - theres always one on there.
Great customer service, fast, honest and trustworthy. Never had an issue . I dont go here all the time as we have a mechanic shop we like. But in a pinch they are always reliable.
Clean, timely and upfront about the cost
Very friendly and thorough plus professional!Spoke with me about what could be done but with no pressure! I really enjoyed my experience!!!Keep up the great work!
Great service and no BS up selling. They vacuumed out the front floor boards, picked up the little bits if trash that fell out of the trash bag, and cleaned the inside of my windshield. Plus, they give you a free car wash! They are always amazing! Friendly and helpful.
Great place and decent price. Friendly service!
Brought my moms Subaru Forester in for basic maintenance. and wipers on 1/23. Very good and quick service. Until I drove away. New employee had accidentally removed transmission filter and allowed leakage. Did not tell manager. Immediately return after driving up and around circle with very serious transmission slippage. Manager oversaw issues and discovered error. Manager was very professional, apologetic and very upset at employee. Manager oversaw new fluid change including transmission. Issued a 50% off coupon for next change. Giving 4 star overall because of manager. Hopefully no future issues will occur with my mothers Forester transmission. Side note; another customer was surprised that this would happen since she bring her car in on regular basis and always happy with service.
Ive always had a pretty good experience at this store. But, I thought outside window cleaning and interior vacuum was part of the deal.I guess not. Both were left dirty andshould be done, after paying out $80+ bucks for an oil change. ?????
Been coming here for years. They do everything you need and not what you don’t need.
Amazing customer service! I don’t think I have ever had such great service from a mechanics office. Needed a quick oil change and they were able to get me in right away and it was under half n hour and everyone was really nice.
I was in and out in under 30 mins. The price was fair and the service crew was very friendly and helpful,
Missing a cap from one of the valve stems on my tire but other than that it was a great job! Very professional, fast, and kind. I will come to this location again. Update- I have gone back and they were great. They were a tad busy, but they managed to get me done on my lunch hour, which was so helpful!
No pressure sales. They tell or show you what you may need besides an oil change, but if its not a safety issue, or a serious engine problem, they let you decide on your own vs. pressuring you into paying for more than you need. If you say, Ill do it next time, they say, Great, we will remind you. I trust this location more than any other I have used in my 43 years of driving and religiously getting oil changes, Plus, you get a free car wash. Thanks
Clay and his team always takes extra special care of me. Being a lifetime member at the VFW 4171 inGolden. All my fellow members appreciate the veteran Day specials they offered to us every year. Keep up the good work! And Ill see you in three thousand miles.
Always receive excellent and speedy service at Grease Monkey. They go above and beyond to ensure my car leaves in better condition than it arrived (even leaving a flower on the dashboard!). Love that they include a free car wash with an oil change and sometimes clean the interior of my vehicle. Thanks, Grease Monkey!
Just had my car done and yet again, an awesome experience! Larry is the best and his crew/staff is always great! Been meaning to write one of these reviews for a long time and should have many times. Been going for many years and Larry has always been great! Great customer service, very personable, never pushy-does suggest but isnt pushy and salesy. I like that, I have a mechanic to fix that stuff. This location is great! Always has been, I know when I go in, it will be a pleasant experience! I think it is really important to reward or talk about good customer service, it doesnt happen often anymore. Thanks again!
They guys were nice, they didn’t over charge me and found a way to get my coupon in! They were extremely fast and efficient.
Always polite and quick. I bring all our cars and am satisfied with the service.
It was a good experience, due to the mechanics were so friendly and vary professional. I would like to recommend this place!!
The job was efficient, quick and thorough, as usual! And the guys were informative and pleasant. Its a nice touch also of them leaving a fresh carnation on the dash when finished!
Very quick service which I was happy with But..a bad gasket was placed and had a very significant oil leak onto my driveway. They replaced bad gasket but who’s going to clean my driveway... ugh
Dont be the guy that gets your oil changed at 8am on a super snowy and cold morning. But if your inability to plan leaves you in that situation these guy were nice about it and got me in and out super quick. Thank you!
They always take very good care of Zeus ( my mustang)
This was my first experience at Grease Monkey and I was absolutely amazed at how fast, efficient and professional the staff was. They took care of my car, didnt try to sell me on anything I didnt need and gave me a free car wash! If youre looking for a good place to get your oil changed, this is it.
Awesome! I swear I was in there for like 10 minutes and did my oil change, and I drive a complicated car that requires synthetic oil and had 3 different options to choose from so that was cool! Would recommend and go there again
James was super friendly and helped me out with a high mileage oil change in less than a half hour. Cleary takes pride in his work -professional, courteous, and thorough. Wish all Grease Monkey locations were like this one!
My experience was great! it took 20 min for the oil change. They were all very pleasant and professional.
These guys that work here have always taken great care of me. Better than any Grease Monkey Ive been to
They were very professional, knowledgeable and fast.
Terrific staff! Very friendly and thorough!! Fast service too! Been going here for 11 years and love it!
Ive had oil changes in almost every state, and the crew at this Grease Monkey does it with more positive energy and professionalism than most! Definitely worth the stop for your next service.
I go out of my way to go to Grease Monkey Golden... even with another GM right around the corner from my house in Edgewater. These guys are quick, never have a wait and always happy when I leave. Thanks guys!
This location is so fast! By the time I went to Starbuck’s next door and walked back, my truck was already done. I really like that they don’t try to upsell you on something that you don’t want. Fast, friendly, honest -- this place is great!
Speedy service. Friendly. Helpful.
The team at the Golden Grease Monkey was helpful and all had great customer service. The best part was seeing them work as a team and enjoy their jobs. That shines through the most to the guests!!
They were very quick, and did a great job on my car and my wifes car.
Like pretty much every location, these folks handle your oil change, service, and various related needs-- and they do so with a welcoming attitude, a helpful, healthy manner of communication, and dont try to constantly up-sell unnecessarily; its greatly appreciated.In addition to the above-- the price they tell you when you arrive is the same as what youll pay (i.e., no shop supply fees and the like added on AFTER they lead you to believe that the advertised price is, in fact, accurate).Plus, the car wash here does the best job of any drive-thru Ive yet found-- and for a maximum price of $8.00 to boot!
Love this Grease Monkey! Quick and efficient. Free car washes are a nice plus.
Been going to Grease Monkey for about 4 years now and they have always done a wonderful job!
Best experience I’ve EVER had getting an oil change. They even left a flower! I’ll never go anywhere else.
