Welcome to Frank Monise Motors. We have been in business since 1949 serving all of your British and Import automotive needs.
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. Area. Within a few years the thriving business was moved into our previous location at 1843 E. Walnut in Pasadena Ca. 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. Frank Jr. 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.
