Flame throwers really have more uses than duct tape. Duct tape could fix my leak but you really need the cleansing power of a flame thrower to clean up those tough to remove stains.....
Dishes, Laundry, Oil on the driveway, a flame thrower will clean them all!

Lots of good tips already, but I want to put in another plug for Simple Green. As a last step I spray some Simple Green on the area. It has enzymes that digest any remaining oil, over time.
Contractor's trucks and delivery vehicles always seem to be dripping.
When a visitor leaves an oil drip or a puddle on my driveway I blot up what I can with a paper towel, then just hit it with a spray of Simple Green and forget about it. The next time it rains or I happen to hose off the driveway, the stain is gone, or well on its way. A repeat treatment will speed the process, but no scrubbing is necessary. Easy and it works for me.

Thanks fella's! It sounds like pretty much the same process from everyone. This is the perfect excuse for a pressure washer!  A man needs an EXCUSE for a pressure washer? I thought they went along with air compressors, angle grinders, bench presses, mechanics vises, cordless drills, wire feed welders, and all other things handyman. It's just money! Ed

Soak up excess with kitty litter...Remove litter, apply a soaking ammount of mineral spirits, use a broom or scrub brush to agitate and cover back up with fresh kitty litter. Let sit for about twenty mins. sweep up litter and dispose.

Have an Atty. buddy send the Nashville dealer a letter suggesting 35K for a new driveway or the dealership could clean the driveway for you. Their choice.
Caution, Atty fee is about equal to a good pressure washer purchase price.
There is a person living at your house who could call the dealership owner and .... well, - explain things. At the conclusion of THAT conversation the whole dealership may humbly arrive to rectify their readily admitted mess!
Kitty litter, Dawn, broom, pressure washer, labor, combined should work fine.
