Prior to opening, franchisees and center employees receive intensive, hands-on training that covers all aspects of running a Grease Monkey® center. Once the center is open, we provide our franchisees with in-center new employee training and employee certification programs. We also offer ongoing franchisee and management training programs several times a year.
