How to unlock the Grease Monkey achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide

From the main menu head into the 'Garage' and apply a new item in each of the 7 categories, use cn_LB/cn_RB to change categories:
• Decals
• Paint
• Wheels
• Rocket Trail
• Topper
• Antenna
• Trail (Just press cn_A on the only available one [as of July update])
There is at least one item unlocked for each category from the off when using the Octane body so this can be unlocked straight away. You do not need to change all 4 paint colours but I did in my video to be sure.
Press cn_A on the new items to apply them for the achievement.

Here's a quick video (missing the trail though)
This will also unlock

Some achievements get stuck in this game (no idea why) but force closing the game (and maybe (achievement app too) and reloading seems to sort it out

You didn't mention it was done unlocking, see the OP here 'Done! Unlocking...' what does it mean?

This achievement won't unlock for me. I even completely turned off my Xbox to see if that would help; it didn't.

Anyone having issues with this achievement due to trails use the Hogsticker body and enable its trail. Plus from my understanding of how I achieved this it is cumulative.

This needs to be in the solution, now:

Click A on the (already selected, only) "Trail."

Godammit.

Pressing A on the stock Trail is what did it for me. Hadn't tried that earlier, thought you'd need a new one to equip. thumbs up

This is currently unobtainable as of September 29th. No one has unlocked it for about two weeks now. They better get around to fixing it.

Does anyone know if there is anyone we can contact about this? I made a bug report on their support website, but is there anyone else on Twitter perhaps?

There was an update on the 28th of September, which I am assuming broke the achievement.

The PS4 update broke the Grease Monkey trophy as well. I was able to unlock it by obtaining a physical disc copy of the game, copying the save data to an external drive, deleting the digital copy, and playing the physical copy of the game offline using the solution above.

I do not own a Xbox One, so I can not verify if this will work or not. Just an idea to pass along and perhaps someone could give it a try.

There are a handful of people unlocking this achievement now. I am going to guess it is because the Halloween event has a trail you can acquire.

Thanks for the update Streak Leader.

I unlocked the Halloween trail for 40 candy corn and the achievement still hasn't unlocked for me.

There are literally hundreds of people unlocking this achievement. I have been paying attention to the amount of users that have it. It is increasing a good deal all of the time. I guess they are getting it doing a workaround or backdating it somehow?

There are more customisation options now (tire trail, and the goal effect) so you might also need to do them. I'm yet to confirm this, but currently I only have the default tire trail and I've not been able to pop this yet.

I have been corresponding with support. I have made them very aware that the achievement is broken. Also, the latest update did not address it.

This is the latest response from them:

Hey Patrick ,
Thank you very much for reporting this. This is a confirmation that I have notified our developers who are currently investigating this. At the moment I'm not able to give you an exact date for when this might be fixed, but please follow us on Twitter to get updates:

Best regards,

The tracker for people who have unlocked this keeps going up though. I first started keeping track at around 79,722. It is now at 79,751. What must be happening is people are probably deleting their save data, deleting the game updates or using the disk version of the game, and getting this achievement offline without the update that broke the achievement. So TA won't update the Recent Winners list because the people popping it won't have a timestamp.

I've opened up a support ticket with Rocket League explaining the issues with this achievement. They say that the team is aware of the issue and are trying to fix it but have no ETA just yet. If you want to help speed up the process I would suggest opening up a ticket yourself. The more people that complain/voice their frustrations the quicker they will work to find a fix.

Yeah people are literally unlocking it every single day. It might not be in the hundreds, but the number is definitely fluctuating over time. I have the disk version and thought about doing that. However, remember you cannot unlock achievements offline. So they would have to complete the requirements and sign back in correct? Then the achievement would pop and stamp whenever they signed back in.

Unless I am wrong, there is definitely something fishy going on here. I am going to the link MasterMinshew provided right now. I was going to do this before but have been busy.

From the first time you play the game you can customize every slot on a battle-car with an 'octane' body apart from the 'topper', so keep playing matches regardless of whether you win or lose until you unlock a topper.

Then from the main menu go into 'garage' and customize each of the following slots to unlock the trophy making sure to use the body called 'octane'.

Decal
Paint
Wheels
Rocket Trail
Topper
Antenna

From the Main Menu, select "Garage." You must customize each slot of your vehicle to unlock this achievement. This includes Body, Decal, Paint, Wheels, Rocket Trail, Topper, and Antenna.

From the main menu, select Garage. Here, you can customise your Cars with several categories of items such as decals, paint jobs rims, flags and toppers but for this trophy you just need to customize a Decal, Topper, Rocket Boost and Wheel.

You should have access to all of these after a couple of online games through the New Driver Challenges and levelling the Free Rocket Pass a little. Once you have the items required, just switch to each of them for this trophy.

Once you have one of each item unlocked, navigate to the garage and apply one item of each category to your Car. The trophy will unlock as soon as you do.

To avoid watching the video... in the "TRAIL" tab, you also need to press the selection, even if there is only 1 item there and it is already equipped.
