Grease Monkey

Grease Monkey is a national automotive service brand specializing in oil changes, brake work, fluid exchanges, and preventative maintenance for a wide variety of vehicles. Founded in 1978, the company began as a single quick-lube shop and has steadily grown its presence over the decades. A significant milestone came in 2017 when Grease Monkey was acquired by FullSpeed Automotive, a move that provided the brand with additional resources and operational expertise to support more ambitious expansion.

As of November 2025, Grease Monkey operates more than 500 locations throughout the United States and in select international markets. The company’s growth over the past five years has been marked by a strong focus on both entering new markets and increasing density in established regions. This expansion is driven by an active franchise program and targeted real estate acquisitions, with particular emphasis on high-traffic retail corridors and rapidly growing suburban areas. Priority markets include Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona.

Grease Monkey’s flexible store formats allow the brand to adapt to a range of property types, from standalone pads to endcaps in busy shopping centers. The company’s steady pace of new openings and its ability to attract franchise operators reflect a growth-oriented approach and a reputation for operational reliability. With the backing of FullSpeed Automotive, Grease Monkey continues to build on its legacy, offering property owners and developers a stable, well-known tenant with a proven track record in the automotive service sector.
