Oscar is a great mechanic! Would definitely recommend using his services. Very friendly, honest, and reasonable prices. Does a great job explaining what my cars need and what’s necessary to keep them on the road. Thank you for the great work. Will continue to come here with my vehicles.

I normally don't write reviews for businesses, however for Grease Monkey Garage, I will make an exception. Oscar gives outstanding service to his customers. I have taken my wife and daughters' cars in for repair. I give this review 5 stars. Thank you, Oscar. You are a man of your word and a man of integrity. God's Blessings to you and to your business.

I had an issue for years and multiple mechanics looked at it and we’re not able to fix it. I took it to Oscar and he was able to fix it. He’s honest, reliable, and knowledgeable.

I had a great experience with Grease Monkey Garage! Oscar was quick to respond to my many texts asking a million questions lol. He did a full inspection of my car, complete with a detailed video explaining his findings. As a woman who has only ever gone to the dealership for service, I was honestly nervous and hesitant to trust anyone else. But Oscar put me completely at ease. Not only did he do the work for a fraction of what Honda quoted me, but he also got me in quickly. I’m so glad I found this place and will definitely be using them for all my future needs!

Oscar did an incredible job getting my 2001 Lexus IS300 back up and running. He was highly communicative, he answered all my questions with ease, he’s highly knowledgeable and trustworthy. There is no other mechanic I’d trust with my automotive repairs. Thank you Oscar!

I came because my brakes were squeaking. Oscar listened to my concern, did a full inspection, and fixed the issue. After the repair, the noise was completely resolved, and I noticed a clear improvement in my breaking performance. Thanks again Oscar.

Once again, Oscar is a rock star!! This isn't one of those post ppl that are me to to blow up this business. Everything I'm saying is fact. You honestly won't find a better, straight forward and honest Mechanic. That's hard to say today, but this is where rubber meets the road, and Oscar is the very finest of professionals, and has my upmost respect. No one will ever touch my vehicles but Oscar. Thanks Oscar, your a true and honest man, continued success.. Respectfully Anthony V.

Not knowing all I needed to have done on my 2002 f250, I trusted Oscar (Grease Monkey Garage) to only do what was needed. In a very timely manner I was informed of what service was suggested. After my ok work was completed. Benita that works in the office was very thorough and pleasant to work with. I will definitely be back when needed.

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer which was in need of extensive repair. Since I live abroad, and will coming to the U.S. soon, I needed repairs done on the vehicle by someone who is trustworthy and reliable. A fellow Ford mechanic, whom I trust, recommended Oscar, the owner and operator of Grease Monkey Garage. Not only did Oscar work with me over the phone, through email, and FB messenger, but he found all the causes of the concerns with my Explorer. He kept me up to date on the repair plan, costs, parts, and even test drives. I am very happy with the quality of work, the timely manner of repairs done, but most of all, the personal effort Oscar himself, put into my Explorer. If I ever need any work or repairs done on my Ford, I will not hesitate to take it to Grease Monkey Garage. They truly are best around!

I brought a used car here for an independent inspection before purchasing, and Oscar did a thorough inspection and surfaced multiple things that I could not see and only an expert eye could see. The car dealership also said that they did an inspection by the way. I feel very fortunate for his pointing out of the potential concerns and what to consider in my choice of purchase. And a major plus that he had extensive experience with Ford vehicles! That was my luck! This was well worth the minimal expense to be an informed buyer.

With my schedule I find it difficult to schedule tasks such as auto maintenance. I had the opportunity to schedule the 90k service for my truck but only with two days notice. Oscar made arrangements to fit me in his busy schedule and I got my truck back the same day. I Would recommend Grease Monkey garage for all your automotive repairs!

Oscar was great. He first sent me a video of my cars issues and all the oil leaks underneath. Went over everything in detail that needed to be done. It was a lot of work but we agreed on everything. He finished in a very timely manner and my car has never ran better. Thanks to Oscar and Grease Monkey Garage for all your hard work and honesty. I would recommend them to anyone needing an honest, fair mechanic. 5 stars for sure.

I rarely take the time to write corporate feedback, but what I experienced at your El Cajon location with Oscar deserves to be recognized at the highest level. I’m 44 years old, and I’ve dealt with countless mechanics over the years. I have never encountered anyone who embodies professionalism, skill, and genuine integrity the way Oscar does. From the moment I arrived, it was clear he takes pride in his work and operates with a strong moral compass—no upselling, no cutting corners, just honest, high-quality service. His communication, attention to detail, and respect for the customer far exceeded my expectations. Oscar represents what this industry should be. I’m in the process of moving to Borrego Springs, which is a considerable distance from El Cajon, but I will gladly make the drive back to your shop just to have Oscar work on my vehicles. That alone should tell you the level of trust and confidence he has earned. People like Oscar are rare, and they are the reason customers stay loyal to a brand. I strongly recommend that Grease Monkey corporate take note—this is the kind of employee who elevates your company’s reputation and keeps customers for life. Sincerely,Michael
