After waiting all weekend for my brakes to be done (bc theyre not open on the weekends), they then informed me that it was going to cost me about $700, rattled off a list of different parts it needed & due to the older age of my car, they proceeded to tell me it wasnt even worth putting that kind of money into it. Seeing as how I didnt really have much of a choice, I was forced to pick it up & drive it to a mechanic buddy of mines house, where he charged me $60 plus I bought the brake pads & one rotars, he fixed it perfectly & its ran fine since then.. needless to say, Im extremely disappointed.

I called to about an appointment to have a piece of my exhaust fixture they told they could do it in an hour I show up 10mins before the discussed time and the very rude lady at the counter told me I’d have to wait another hour since they had a walk-in customer come in before I got there. This is a very unacceptable way to treat customers!!!!!! They also did a “fix”on one of my other vehicles by welding a a bracket that had broke. They ended up burning a hole thru my exhaust and there bracket fell off and the weight on the y connector for my dual exhaust broke due to this I thought I’d try to address this while I was there and the rude laidy said there was nothing they would do about it

I’m actually a certified auto tech. I’m out of town currently and my son called me with problems with his Jeep and telling me his check engine light was on. I had him get me the diagnostic codes that was telling me there was an issue with the catalytic converter but his symptoms didn’t describe that. He also had an exhaust rattle.Through the years I had sent exhaust work to these guys because I typically didn’t do it at my place of business or deal in that and these guys always do good work. I had my son take it up there and them diagnose it for me. My son calls me and tells me what they tell him and I decide I wanna talk to the tech just me and him tech to tech and we both together thought the same thing with his eyes and both our knowledge he wasn’t having converter issues that it was a false code and something else was wrong and located the rattle which was just a small little weld issue.I thanked him for being my eyes and asked him to weld that up for my son and tell my son to pay him and thanked him again for taking a look until I could get there to take a look at it for my boy. They buttoned it up for my son stopped the rattle and my boy calls me and says it was just a small weld and he told me not to worry about the cost it wasn’t worth writing up the ticket on for no more weld then it needed. My boy thanked them and on his way he went.I don’t remember the tech I talked with and worked with but he was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, talked to me professional to professional but with knowing concerns I was a father wanting to make sure my son was driving a safe vehicle. Great guy, and as always a great place.As a fellow mechanic and someone who’s been in this business for 20 years I have no hesitation recommending this place for the work they do. I’ve never had anyone I have personally sent over to them because I wasn’t able to get to them soon enough or whatever the reason complain about their work and I’ve always checked it over and it’s always looked good. I’d feel confident in taking my personal vehicles up there obviously if I trusted my sons with them.Thanks again for the help guys, my son and I appreciate it.

We are regulars here when we have exhaust issues. We keep coming back because of the quality of work, concern for their customers the price is always fair. Had to come in the other day for brake questions/help. They fixed my problem and had me out the door pretty quick. I highly recommend this business.

Paige, Tracey and Robert are outstanding. I brought my truck in shortly after lunch and they had it ready to go in a few short hours. Very personable and professional. They replaced my custom exhaust and beat everyone elses price hands down...and it sounds great!!! Thank you!

They wanted to charge me 120 dollars to replace one broken off bolt on the catilic converter.they said it was because they had to move the flex pipe.being the the one out of the two bolts that had not been broke off had already been out.it would have been a 5 minute fix.cause the broken one could have been burnt out with their torch verses me drilling it out.

I came in as a walk in, after the right side muffler of my truck snapped a bracket and started dragging behind me. They had my truck up on a lift, the muffler back on with a new flowmaster, and a new bracket welded to hold it in place in about 15-20 minutes. Price was very reasonable. These guys saved me a huge headache. I hope to never need them again, but if I do I wont consider anyone else.

I was a walk-in and when I got there a couple workers were at lunch. I came back in about 20 minutes. They were able to immediately get my car on a lift and within 20 minutes I was back in my car with my new flowmaster on my car. $80 to have a muffler removed and a Flowmaster welded on. Ill be back to do more business

I had to have a new exhaust system put on my Blazer, from the catalytic converter on back. I got a quick estimate and went back the next day to have it put on. It only took 30 mins for them to finish! The price was great too. With parts and labor it cost less than it wouldve for us to order the parts package and the hassle of doing it ourselves. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Went here today due to a sagging exhaust. They took one look told me what the problem was and the cost up front as well as the time it would take to fix the problem. They fixed the problem and I was on my way faster than they had stated. If I have another problem I will plan on using them again.

They installed a new muffler on my car, and the price was barely more than it used to be back in the 1980s.Update: Brought another car there because two exhaust hangers had broken off. Thrifty found a third hanger that was also broken and fixed all three for $20. This is the place to get your exhaust work done.
