About Our Business
Frank Monise Motors has been an established business
since 1949 in Pasadena California. Frank Monise started the
business due to the need for a mechanic who wasn't afraid
to work on the newly imported English cars. Frank started
with a few cars and slowly built up to overseeing most of the
English cars in the L.A. Within a few years the thriving
business was moved into our previous location at 1843 E. Many famous celebrities and racing
drivers have stood in the doorway seeking either a little
work done to their car or just to hang out and visit Frank. As
with a lot of small businesses, many generations have now
come to work at the shop.This starting with Frank Sr.'s two
sons Frank Monise Jr. and Howard Monise. has
been working at the shop since just after high school,
having only missed one year due to a tour in Vietnam. Howard had great interest in cars but had even greater
interest in motorcycle racing. He worked at the shop for a
short time before going to work at Dan Gurneys All American
Racers. Frank Sr. retired in the early 1990s and Frank Jr. took over
the family business. Frank Sr., although retired, stayed very
much involved in the business as his oldest son took over. While his grandson joined the business in 1999. Now over 15 years later Frank Jr. has been running the
business with both of his sons working with him, bringing in
the third generation and over 60 years of business.
