The people behind Oil Monkey

Two guys.
One shared purpose.

We’re Shawn Long and George Sackett, the mechanics behind Oil Monkey MOC. We started this business with a simple belief: taking care of your car should fit into your life and your budget. So we bring the tools, the experience, and the care right to your driveway or workplace.

YOUR DRIVEWAY. OUR WORKSHOP.

01 / Our roots

A lifetime around cars.

Shawn Long

I’ve spent most of my life working on cars. In 2019, I was a mechanic at a Jeep dealership, learning the ins and outs of newer vehicles and doing work I loved. But the way customers and employees were treated didn’t sit right with me. I enjoyed helping someone get back on the road; seeing the stress on their face when the bill arrived was another story.

After leaving the dealership, I began repairing cars at home for friends and family. As that work grew, I saw a chance to build a business around what mattered to me: doing good work, treating people fairly, and making car care easier to manage.

George Sackett

I grew up fascinated by racing and hot rods, and some of my favorite memories are of building cars with my dad. I went on to work at an auction house, where I trained to the level of master mechanic. Through it all, I kept building and repairing cars for friends, always giving them the friends-and-family discount.

To me, knowing how to fix a car means being able to help someone. I’ve always enjoyed passing on what I know, whether that’s working on a car together or teaching someone how to take care of their own. That’s the same spirit I bring to Oil Monkey.

02 / Our story

More than business partners.

We’ve known each other since 2008. Over the years, working on cars and sharing what we know have been a big part of our bond. Long before we became business partners, we were family in all the ways that count.

The idea for Oil Monkey came out of an ordinary day hanging out together. We were talking about business ideas and kept coming back to the same thing: people need their cars maintained, but finding the time and money can be hard. What if we brought the service to them?

That conversation became Oil Monkey MOC. By coming to your yard or workplace, we help you skip the waiting room and get on with your day while we do the work we’ve always loved.

“Just two guys trying to make our community better and our neighbors safer.”

Neither of us grew up with money to spare. We’ve worked for what we have, and we know how hard it can be to choose between an oil change and groceries. That understanding is at the heart of Oil Monkey. We want to make maintenance affordable and stress-free, help our neighbors feel safer on the road, and give back to the community we call home.
