Been going here for years. They can be a slow. I think it's time to find a new oil change facility. Open at 8am. I got here before 8 in hopes to get out quicker. Was 1st in line. Workers sitting in a car listening to music til after 8am. I finally see them inside. They didnt let me in til 8:28. Apparantly the manger overslept and they couldn't get the systems up and running. They never came out to tell me anything. No apology when I got in. Nada. The lack of communication and apology for wait helped make my decision to take my business elsewhere going forward. read more

Great service! Definitely will come back to do business with them! Brandon was professional and the wait wasn't too bad since I went early in the morning! Young man behind the counter is learning the work ethics, love this! read more

I gave my granddaughter my car. She brought it to grease lightning to get an oil change at the next oil change. I took her to my regular mechanic to get a tuneup and an oil change. When he went to do the oil change he found out that the previous person who changed the oil stripped out the bolt in the oil pan it ended up costing me money to get the oil pan in the now I'm trying to call them to make them aware of what has happened and their phone number constantly goes to voicemail one time they even took it off the hook and left it sitting there with me on the phone and never answered. I can't even tell them what happened so now I drive there to let them know. I wouldn't take my car here. read more

Greased Lightening in Mokena is terrible,they are ripoff artists,they charged my daughter 20 more for oil change, n when I called the manager was extremely rude and called me names n hung up on me...... read more

Obviously run by men that don't have kids. The candy is probably as old as I am and the alphabet mat is nasty and doesn't even have all the letters. The chairs are ancient and so stained I'm not even sure what color they were supposed to be read more

Will go there again and recommend it to my friends.prices are reasonable and you can stay in your car.

Waited about 40 mins outside just to wait inside for another 40 mins to be told they don't have the oil I needed.Had to go but the oil bring it back to be told,"I'll give you a little bit of a discount....Totally unprofessional and unacceptable,POD read more

I've been taking my vehicles there for about 2-3 years. In the past two months all three have had their check engine light come on. All with the same code. The oil they're using is either wrong or they just don't care. Spent $2900 on the one vehicle to get it fixed and still dealing with the other two. Stay away! read more

Had a complete oil change on Saturday. The following Tuesday on my way home from work, my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree alerting me that my engine was over heating. Also got an alert from On Star that there was a problem with my transmission. Thankfully I was pulling into my neighborhood when this occurred . I immediately called Greased Lightening asking if I could bring the car in. I was told to call a mechanic, that they just pulled their last car of the day in. I asked about the next day & was told "like I said you need to call a mechanic" Do I have proof they failed to refill or completely refill all the fluids? No. But it's pretty ironic that prior to bringing my car there. I had zero issues. And after... I had to purchase a new car. Beware!! read more

My Dad and family been going here for years. They let you look under your vehicle if you'd like to take a look

Great no frills oil change place. Never have waited more than 30 minute, even on a weekend. They top off fluids for free and don't try to upsell anything. Very honest people. Highly recommend read more

My son recommended Grease Lightning for a oil change. Since, my dealership was behind in appointments bcuz of the strike. It was my first time there & I was pleased how fast & quick they are!! Price was reasonable!! Especially, for synthetic oil!! I really like how you can see what they're doing to your car!! Will recommend this place read more

ZERO STARS or negative ten if YELP allows intergers. Guy on phone (5stars) said oil change was $25 since I was binging in my own synthetic oil and filter, he also added I could get a $5 off since I was a 1st time customer. I mentioned I have a YELP coupon for $7. "Sure! We just need to see it." The "mechanics" (also 5stars) were good, polite and fast enough. When I tried redeeming my YELP coupon a different person (manager? Negative20stars) I didn't get his name, said; "I'm sorry, that coupon is only good on full service, you didn't get full service." I stood my ground that the coupon says nothing of the sort. Also, the gentleman on the phone said to just show the coupon. The (manager??) walked away to supposedly speak with someone else, returned and reluctantly accepted with a stern warning. like I was getting away with genocide. Okay...... I'll be doing my oil myself from now on. Or go to any of the 47 other oil change shops in my area. read more

See all

Quick oil change. It's a little more expensive than most places, but I think it's a little more because of the convenience aspect of it. I walked in at 5:05 pm, and left a little more than 15 mins later. That's with two cars ahead of mine! Most places I've gone I've had to wait 35 min to an hour (or more!) Expect the staff to ask you about oil preferences (brand vs generic) and show you your oil levels upon completion. I had been putting off my oil change due to time constraints and felt bad showing up at 5 pm, an hour before closing. I asked if they can still take me and I appreciate the fact that they said the last car accepted is 10 mins to close. I'd never do that, but it's nice to know that they'd still take you (for an oil change I'm assuming). Overall, good experience! read more

Our employee has been bring our trucks here for along time. But recently he bought our pick up truck for oil change and tires rotated. Soon after leaving left front tire fell off and cost us over a $4000 in damages . They have not yet responded to us after many many attempts and when we got a response they said for us to contact a lawyer! We just wanted out damages covered . Shame on them. read more

So I usually don't complain about services rendered or lack there of. I had been coming to this place over the last few years for what I felt was a decently priced oil change. Today I had my wife go there because she needed my truck to run some errands, now keep in mind she is nine months pregnant so it's very visible at this point, she pulled around to the rear of the building and you're supposed to do, and waited for over 20 minutes got tired of that so went inside of the office, and talked to someone in there about how long it would be for an oil change. They told her over an hour, (8am) because there was only two people on staff at the time. They asked her why she didn't pull to the rear. She said that she waited 20 minutes back there,and then she was told she didn't wait long enough. Like I said I've been coming here for years but I have no idea what kind of stoners they have working there now, I'll be going to Fuller's from now on and paying a little extra read more

Honestly as a woman, I feel comfortable coming here. They have never tried to upsell me, they are so quick, it's always the same guys that work here, chairs and wait room are super comfortable and clean. Never had to wait. They may not be the cheapest but they will get you in and out without any hassle. What more can you ask for? read more

Stopped in about 40 min before close to see if they had an opening for a quick oil change. Was ready to say I was willing and able to bring it back one of the next two days if it was more convenient. They said they would take me, but the mechanic on duty was copping attitude from the jump and through the entire transaction. All but rushed me out the door before I could even inquire about new wipers. As a first time customer this left me with a bad first impression. I'm giving 2 stars because they took a walk in near close and to the best of my knowledge did the job right, but I the customer service was very poor and I'll just look for a different auto shop next time. read more

Would have rated higher, but the employee with long hair and earrings (I did not get his name) is as friendly as a rattle snake. When I asked about a scratch he had on his face, he barked that customers had no business asking about his face. Okay then, have a good life. read more

Be careful of this place, second time I had an issue with leaking oil. Also noticed they did not change my oil filter, just the oil. And when they did change they didn't tighten the filter or the nut tight enough causing oil to leak all over my garage and driveway two times. Going back to changing my own oil again! read more

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla. It's a pretty common car, except for the fact the oil filter needs a special attachment to remove the filter. I went on eBay and saw the filter attachment for less than 10.00. I find it hard to believe this business does not 'do' Toyota or Lexus cars because they 'can't get the filter off'. I was charged 13.95 for oil but no filter, they probably damaged the housing trying to get mine off. Totally disappointed. read more

Grease Lightning - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

Very good service! They were thorough in their findings and didn't try to up sale me. I would definitely comeback!

Today I went to get a oil change. When I got there the gentleman that greeted me was apologetic about the wait for me to even get the car into the garage. He told me he was the only one that was there. The service I received was outstanding. I wish I got the mans name to praise him. He dealt with the situation like a pro! I felt terrible for him being the only one there. I was in and out within 30 mins! That employee doing everyone's job by himself did a great job! read more

I called to check if they could service my make and model of car. They said yes and had the parts in stock and they could get us in right away. Drove there right away and they said sorry all booked for the day! 1st and last visit. read more

Great people! Always there for the customers, they are fantastic with letting you know, what type of oil your car takes, an the wait is never to long. Great place for great service! read more

Went here to get my oil changed, most of the time I do it myself, but I thought what the hell, let someone else do it for a change, mostly younger kids, but they did a good job, a lot more expensive than doing it yourself, but not as messy, read more

Had gone there for oil changes and tire rotation for my 4 vehicles for several years. On a recent visit they failed to tighten front passenger side wheel after rotating and barely avoided a disaster when the dealer advised the tire was close to falling off. Ok, mistakes are made...went for an oil change on another car of mine at Grease Lightning and was told they couldn't gat the drain plug removed as it apparently was put on crooked...and a "have a nice day". Lolol, that's the only place that serviced the vehicle and they confirmed the vehicle was in their system but didn't have the tools to remove and repair. Well I've been having "nice days" getting my oil and tires rotated elsewhere after fixing the damage they caused. Buyers beware...this place isn't crowded for a reason! read more

Came in for the first time to get my oil changed on a walk in and was in and out in 30 mins or less! Very informative, quick, and friendly. Great customer service all around! They don't try to up sell you on anything ! - just informing ! Will be going back for my next oil change! :) read more

They got me right in for my oil change! Great customer service, and fast efficient work.

Simply the best when it comes to oil changes. I won't go anyway else! Great business and service.

Only good thing about my 1st experience at Grease Lightning was that they were so fast I did not have to deal with attendants openly arguing in front of me and their rude attitudes for very long. read more

This place is awesome. They are very quick. Have free coffee. And aren't constantly trying to upsell you on stuff you don't need. I drive 45 minutes from downtown just to come here so I don't have to deal with annoying people trying to upsell me new air filters, and BS transmission fluid changes. read more

I went in for a tire repair. That actually went surprisingly well. While I was there I asked if they could flush my CVT Transmission. They said sure charged me around $115 or so, it was done in about an hour. I was happy and saved money. However, approximately three months later I found out they actually didn't flush it. I took the car to the dealer and the fluid was burned. My husband checked it as well. It had not ever been changed. I would suggest to avoid going there is you are just a woman, and dont really know what you are looking for. I probably could have caught it sooner if I had checked immediately. I won't ever go back and I caution women to be very careful. read more

They do a good job with what they're suppose to do, oil changes. They aren't exactly the most knowledgeable lube techs tho. They didn't know how to reset the oil life percentage in my car read more

I had my oil changed the day before I came to Grease lightning. The idiots at the previous place failed to do a pressure check and basically all of the oil drained out of my car. I was stranded and couldn't start my car without ruining my engine. I called grease lightning who told me to get some oil and put 2-3 quarts in to get me to their shop (it was 2.2 miles away). Fortunately my daughter was able to get the oil and put in 3 quarts. By the time I drove 2.2 miles I had no oil again. Grease lightning figured out that the gasket was broken and the previous shop cut corners n failed to pressure check it. Had they done that they would have realize the leak. Thank God for these smart and helpful gentlemen at Grease Lightning. They saved my engine. Trust me once I deal with the other place they'll get the review of a lifetime. Grease lightning was professional, helpful and thorough. Great place. I'll go back there every time I need an oil change. read more

super clean establishment. friendly staff, quick service, good rates, good products, free coffee and clean restrooms.

I came here two times. First time I called before coming and was told oil change was $40. I went and was charged over $70 and was told because of the extra stuff they had done. Second time, was charged over $70 again and the girl upfront and couldn't explain and asked the technician to do so. Was told something different from the first time. Not going again and both times, only kids are there. read more

went to get my oil change and drove 11 miles away before engine locked up due to lack of an oil filter. That was over two weeks ago. The area manager promise me a used motor with 1 year warranty for parts and labor. That didn't happen! Good luck to anyone using their service read more

Great service! Their services are first come first service, no appointments but as long as you call and see what they've got going on they seem to accommodate you well. I went in the morning and was able to get right in. And oil change was completed in less than 20 minutes along with a vacuuming and windshield washing. They checked my tire pressure and the overall maintenance of the car in general. Oil filter was replaced and they made sure to show me my oil level before pulling my car out. All for less than $40. Good local place for me to go in my hometown. Quick and efficient so I could get my day going! read more

Came for the air fresheners... Stayed for the great service! Quick and easy for an oil change.
