Become a Grease Monkey Franchisee
Grease Monkey International, Inc. (Grease Monkey) is one of the nation’s largest franchisors of automotive preventive maintenance centers. Founded in 1978, Grease Monkey currently has more than 250 centers operating in the United States, Mexico and China. Grease Monkey is proud to be the only major quick lube concept not owned by an oil company. Our independence means there is no obligation to buy a specified brand of products, allowing us to negotiate the best possible pricing for our franchisees. We make recommendations to Grease Monkey franchisees, without dictating what products they must use.
Become a Monkey Shine Franchisee
Monkey Shine is the first car wash franchise run by a franchise company, not an equipment manufacturer or distributor. We have spent years assessing the hundreds of car wash equipment options to identify the best providers, and we’ve negotiated special pricing and extended service packages for our franchisees.

- Develop side-by-side Grease Monkey and Monkey Shine centers
- Build standalone Grease Monkey or Monkey Shine centers
