Called and had me bring it right then and there.. Had the old cat converter cut off my car and new one welded on within a hour and couldnt be happier. Fair price, clean welds and even fixed a spot on my flex pipe without asking or charging more. Will definitely be back when I need more work doneπŸ‘Œ

I found this place online and after reading the reviews, figured I would take a chance. I called and he fit me right in. I needed a piece of pipe welded from mid pipe to the muffler. He charged me 70 for it and my car is super quiet and more peppy!! Very trustworthy and doesnt try to sell you anything. He just repairs what you need. I would definitely reccomend him. He does everything if you buy the parts. He just charges for labor. 2 thumbs up!

The work was quick and cheap which was awesome, but the two guys who serviced my muffler did not seem like they wanted to. If I talked, half the time they wouldn’t reply. I called ahead, asking if I could have a new flange welded onto my muffler so I can connect it back to my mid pipe. They told me yes. When I showed up, They first told me they couldn’t do it because my muffler wouldnt fit in my hangers, though I told them I knew it would because it was previously mounted fine. Then, they told me that they couldn’t because they did not have a flange to fit my muffler. After asking them if they could double check, they came back with a correct size flange and welded it onto my muffler with no issue, but since the work was done so quick, the weld was not fantastic either. No disrespect to these guys as they did complete the job, but it would suck for a customer who does not have any exhaust knowledge and make them seek for service elsewhere when they didn’t have to.

Car was sounding loud and I was worried it was going to be expensive to fix. Guy at Auto Zone suggested I go to this place. I cant tell you how satisfied with the work, the cost, the customer service and my car never sounded so good.. Great place and I will go there for more work in the future. To the owner - thank you so much if you are reading this.

My car was making a lound noise when I accelerated. I was told by the dealership that the cars whole exhaust system needed to be changed which would be an expensive job.I came here on my dads reccomendation (father knows best right?). The gentleman that I was talking to discovered that the cars flex pipe was leaking due to large cracks thats causing the noise. The flex pipe was the only section that needed to replaced and not the whole exhaust system.

I went to other muffler shop you know the name band and dealers. I got their quotes which where much higher and they wanted to replace parts that didn’t need to be replaced. Not here they replaced the muffler which had a long split in it they simply cut off the muffler and replaced it quick and easy no clamps they welded all connections then check the welds for leaks. I was in and out in about 45 minutes and the price was great. I recommend American Muffler to anyone who needs muffler work.

5/11/19BEWARE. I went to American Muffler and Brake in Cranston Rhode Island to get an exhaust leak fixed. They told me it was my catalytic converter was bad. They gave me the price and I said fix it but he wanted cash I did not have the cash offered to pay with my credit card he said OK but charged me 20 dollars more to use the credit card. I gave them the extra 20.00 to use my credit card and they proceeded to do the work. I walked out into the shop to observe what was going on and I notice my catalytic converter on the ground and it was not defected like they stated and I also took my old converter with me when I left. It was the pipe after the converter that was bad. After they were finished I mention to them that they had hustle me into replacing a part that did not need to be replaced and that I was not ignorant as to what just happened. Please beware when dealing with these people if they did it to me they are doing it to everybody.

I have had vehicles serviced since my first cat in 1971. I am used to small garages and owner mechanics. These guys, however, stand out.I met two incredibly nice mechanics and experienced excellent customer service. They took my 2015 Toyota van in immediately, inspected the brakes, and ordered in front and rear brake pads and rotors all around. They were very personable and friendly. The parts all arrived within 2 hours and they quickly and professionally installed them. The price was great compared to most mechanics I have used.We were able to communicate without a problem despite their somewhat limited English and they took me through each step they performed, taking off each part in front of me and showing why it needed replacement. They were honest and knowledgeable. The building is old. Dont expect a glitzy showroom and sparkling service bays. These guys have forgone all this to keep their pricing low. I can recommend them without reservation.

Great service, experienced mechanics at work. Any exhaust work needed? This is the place to go, no job too big or small for these guys. They offer great prices on brake jobs also with quality parts at a bargain, waiting times vary but always worth it. If you need any work done in cranston you wont find a better price or quality of work. Will continue to go here as long as I live in the area, always left with a smile on my face.

11 year old car so the flange that connects one of the mufflers and exhaust pipe rusted away on one side. The other side was in bad shape as well. Decided to take the car in just for an estimate but 30 minutes later drove home with no more clanging or exhaust rumble. Both mufflers done. Very happy that I went to this shop.

4 reviews5.0 star rating 10/18/2017I have nothing, but amazing things to say about this company! The check engine light came on my car. Brought it to the dealership where I bought the car... Turns out 1 of my catalytic converters needed to be replaced.They quoted me $2,400 to replace 1! I then brought it to a small mom and pop shop and they quoted $1,400 to replace 1. Not bad, I thought. Saving around a $1,000.Before I pulled the trigger I saw the great reviews here and figured Id give it a shot. Brought the car in, they looked at it, diagnosed the issue within a matter of minutes me being there. Actually showed me what was wrong and quoted me $600 to replace both with brand new higher flowing catalytic converters! BOTH, not just one. They saved me roughly $2,200-$4,200 in repairs!(estimates with replacing both catalytic converters)What more can I say? They are honest people who will do what needs to be done and nothing more. I plan on bringing my vehicle to them for all maintenance needs moving forward.

They literally saved me twice. I had a bad rattling noise under my car, buying a whole new set of pipes is out of the question. Not trying to be cheap, just dont have 3K$ at the moment.I asked around for a few months between CT and RI. Not one who would work on it. First time I went there about 3 months ago (march 19) he actually cut out the bad part and rebuilt a new one on the spot. The second time just few days ago (June 19) a couple of brackets broke and he fixed it in less than 5 minutes. 70$ asked but left 100 and trust me is the best money I have ever spent. Car runs like new and I saved about 3 grand. Totally trustworthy.

Muffler was hanging totally disconnected from the flange. Had them check it out they suggested a new muffler they said it will cost $140 for parts and labor. I thought that was fair so they put it on the lift got it done in about a hour. The car sound great and they did a good job on the weld for what they had to work with.
