“Done fast. Done right. No Monkey Business.” Grease Monkey’s motto perfectly defines its operations. Besides their full oil-change service, they offer brake and battery checks, air-conditioning maintenance, transmission services and more — and the shop is now open in Taylorsville.

Located at 3718 W. 5400 South, the family-owned Grease Monkey in Taylorsville celebrated its grand opening on July 11, along with city officials and representatives from ChamberWest.

“Human connection, that’s what we thrive for,” said owner Kevin Crandall. “It’s all about the customer connection. If we can make the customer’s day, that’s what we’re all about.”

Crandall, who opened the new Grease Monkey with his wife, Coco, said he found the business about 20 years ago as a customer. “They earned my business forever,” he said. So when a franchise opportunity became available, he knew that is what he wanted to do.

He said he enjoyed the process of opening the new shop and getting to know everyone in Taylorsville. He hopes residents will make Grease Monkey their local oil change and automotive repair expert.

“They went all out for the Ribbon Cutting,” Mayor Kristie Overson noted at a recent City Council meeting. “They gave us lunch. They had prizes. It was just really fun.

“We’re always happy when we can be to Ribbon Cuttings and support our local businesses,” she added. “They got off to a great start, and we wish them well.”

The Taylorsville Grease Monkey is one of more than 700 locations nationwide. They are open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Find out more on their website, greasemonkeyauto.com
