This is a shop owned by one man, almost all other Grease Monkeys are owned by a man named Ron Marrow who owns 23. The thing is that in some instances the customer is not being taken advantage of as far as a manufacturer required or recommended service for a vehicle, it is the pricing set by the owner. Many things are required to be done when a vehicle is under warranty, if they are not then you run the risk of going in for a claim at the stealer and having a legal issue on your hands because you did not do the required services.

For Example: 2000 Chevy Silverado

Manfacture Rec.Every______Miles
Front differential- 15,000
Rear Differential- 15,000
Transfer case- electronic shift 100,000
                     non elec- 60,000
Transmission Flush- 50,000
Air Filter- 12,000 to 20,000
Radiator flush- 100,000 or every two years
Oil and filter- 3,000
Cabin Air Filters 30,000
Tire Rotation-8,000-10,000
Fuel Filter- 15,000 or one year

We do not recommend these if the car is not at the proper miles, any person can turn down any service obviously. In comparison to having the services done at the Dealer the cost is considerably less.

Dan Farmer the owner of this store pioneered the upfront greeting method, eliminating the service review that you used to sit down with the customer and explain what needed to be done. He ran the number 1 in sales and car count Grease Monkey in Parker Colorado for 7 years before they were all sold and he purchased this one down the road.

Colorado...its where the cool kids live
