FullSpeed Automotive’s Flagship Brand Strengthens Presence in One of America’s Fastest-Growing Regions 

DALLAS – Fresh off a record-breaking month of franchise expansion during August, Grease Monkey®, a leading automotive aftermarket repair facility and flagship brand of FullSpeed Automotive®, is accelerating its growth with six new store openings across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The rapid expansion underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering fast, reliable, and convenient vehicle maintenance in one of the nation’s fastest-growing metro regions.

About the Expansion:

  • Grease Monkey opened six new Dallas-area locations in just one week, beginning with a store on September 26 in Dallas, followed on Wednesday, October 1, by five additional openings – one in Dallas, one in The Colony, one in McKinney, and two in Frisco.
  • All six stores are operated by FiaFia Store Group, LLC, the local franchisee driving this expansion.
  • Five of the new locations are conversions of existing Wash Guys Lube Auto Centers, bringing Grease Monkey’s trusted services to these established automotive hubs.
  • Together, these openings nearly double Grease Monkey’s footprint in Dallas-Fort Worth, which is home to nearly 30% of Texas’ population.

“We’re thrilled to be growing so quickly in Dallas-Fort Worth, one of the most dynamic markets in the country right now,” said Ron Stilwell, President of FullSpeed Automotive. “Opening six Grease Monkey locations in such a short time shows the strength of our franchise system and the demand for our services. We’re confident this market will be a major driver of our nationwide expansion.”

With the automotive aftermarket industry expected to grow 5.1% by year’s end, Grease Monkey is capitalizing on the strength of the sector by adding new stores in several additional key markets, including Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, and Oklahoma.

“Our growth in Dallas is just one example of the momentum we’re seeing across the country,” said Stilwell. “From Texas to California to the Carolinas, we’re confident in our ability to meet rising demand and continue expanding Grease Monkey into one of the most recognized and trusted names in automotive care.”

Grease Monkey is looking to bring on qualified and engaged individuals seeking single, multi-unit, and conversion opportunities. When franchisees invest with Grease Monkey, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and proven business models backed with a combined 47+ years of experience in providing quality car care in the industry.
