Grease Monkey

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Grease Monkey and asked, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, 'Simple—we fry our bacon in the grease from your truck's engine!' The delivery driver never complained again, but he always brought donuts for everyone.

2. One morning, a little boy walked into Grease Monkey as the mechanics were working on cars. He pointed at one of the engines and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, is that a dinosaur’s heart?’ The mechanic looked down at the kid and grinned, "No son, that's just an old Chevy V8." Mom smiled and said, 'It's okay honey, some things don't change even after millions of years!' The whole garage burst out laughing.

3. One day, a curious neighbor stopped by Grease Monkey and asked, 'How come every time I drive past here, my car starts purring like a contented kitten?' The mechanic winked and replied, ‘Simple really—your engine loves our coffee more than you do!’ The neighbor shook his head with a smile, realizing that Grease Monkey was not just any old garage.

4. One afternoon, a small dog waddled into Grease Monkey while mechanics worked on engines. The canine sniffed curiously around oil drums and tools, then suddenly sat down next to an old tire and started barking insistently. Suddenly, one of the mechanics, a gruff old fellow named Pete, looked up from his work and grinned. ‘Hey, little fella,’ he said, scratching behind the dog’s ears. ‘What brings you here?’ The dog stopped barking, yawned, and promptly fell asleep on the tire. A delivery driver passing by laughed and commented, “I guess he found himself a new spot for his lunch break.” And so, Grease Monkey welcomed another regular customer that day—a sleepy, greasy-dog lunchtime companion.
