      I went in for a brake change. They tried to send me out with a missing lug nut. Which is not safe. Especially for people that haul. I told them I haul equipment for work. The manager tried to tell me it was ok to hual with a missing lug nut. Obviously thats not true. Its very dangerous, especially for me and other drivers in the road. I filed a complaint with their cooperate and I have heard anything in three weeks. Dont expect to hear anything. I think their gross neglect takes some looking at. Its the grease monkey ***************************************************** phone number is **********

      Complaint: 18549663

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have been answering EVERY call coming in on my phone and I know for a fact there has not been a voice mail message left. There has NOT been any calls from this company. It is obvious this company has no interest in resolving this issue. If they would like to leave me the telephone number to reach them I will be happy to place the call. I think we are at the point where I need to just go ahead and file suit in court to get this resolved without the games that are being played.

      Sincerely,

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me - ****************** ******* representative has indicated I will be reimbursed all expenses with the exception of the cost for me to withdraw the money from my 401k. It has been indicated I will receive the check the week of 3/13/23. As long as they comply with what has been agreed upon this will be a satisfactory resolution and I will also indicated payment has been received and this case has been resolved.

      I took my car in to have the oil changed. My wife followed behind me in her car. The tech got into my car to pull it into the bay and my wife tried pulling forward into a parking spot. The tech put my car in reverse and hit my wifes Jeep. Both cars were damaged in the collision. The tech was apologetic and stated that he didnt look in the rearview mirror. I spoke with *****, manager, who said he watched the video and reported it was in fact the techs fault. ***** stated that he would contact the owner of Grease Monkey so this could be resolved with the insurance company. I have contacted the store several times regarding this matter to no avail. I filed a police report with the ************************* as well and I have not heard back from the store owner. This incident occurred on 07/20/2022. I would like to get the damage to my cars fixed as soon as possible. Kind Regards,***************************

      Back in 2020 we had an oil change to our car completed by this company that ended up completely seizing our motor. Grease monkey hired a mechanic to replace the motor. We were told that the replacement motor was a used motor but that it only had ***** mile on it. After waiting over four months for our car to get fixed, when we got the car back we continued to have issues. We reached out several times about the issues and each time were told everything was fine with that car. Here we are now with the car yet again with a non functioning motor and have been told that the motor they put into the car is no where near a motor with initially only ***** miles on it they had said. That the motor in this car has extreme wear and tear consistent with a motor closer to ******. We are now looking at a repair job close to $6000, we have called and emailed this company multiple times, have been told we are going to get a call back and nothing. I have a car in a shop, waiting to get fix which should be this companies responsibility for first hiring an incompetent mechanic for the initial repairs, should be responsible for lying about the used motor installed in this car and should be responsible now for all the repairs and for loss of work wages because we have no car for work. This is now over two weeks of no reply back to calls or emails from this company. ***** and **** are the contacts for their risk management in this company. ***** was the initial contact when we first had this issue and who is still working in this company.

      This is a 2-year old claim, and Grease Monkey is not responsible for any engine issues installed by another provider.  Thank you
