This is a great trustworthy shop. The guys worked on my jeep and were able to put a new muffler on and working in under a hour. Veteran owned and a place Id recommend to anyone. Happy to have done business here and would go here again for any future issues.

Had a cutout exhaust installed by the Muffler Masters team on a 2021 Ford F-150 (see pics in photos) and can summarize my experience as awesome. Timely, courteous and their attention to detail is impeccable…customer service is the name of their game here calling me over multiple times during the install to ensure that I was pleased and double checking my requests…i certainly appreciate this. No wasted time, took care of business and sent me on my way. Thank you John, appreciate you and your team!

A+ experience here. The owner took out a couple of mid mufflers on my challenger. Price was right and the work was quick! Car sounds great as well. Easy to recommend this place.

I called several shops around to ask for pricing and general questions. And this shop told me that they charge 275$ for X Pipe.! Are you crazy.? Just to purchase 1 X pipe? So i decided to call other shops and their price was almost a little less than half of these guy’s pricing…That should give you an idea how much you will get ripped off IF you decide to have any work done here…Im attaching a X Pipe picture for ppl who dont know whT it is… Ebay have them for 25-30$ and they literally do the same job… jesus christ guys.!🤦‍♂️

Couldn’t be happier with the work they have done on my Ford Focus ST. Called numerous shops and they wanted vast amounts of money for some custom exhaust work which I had the parts for already. Came across Muffler Master gave them a call and John said “bring it by we will get it done”. Three hours later I get a call from John saying my car is ready! These guys are fast an do awesome work definitely coming back to get me future exhaust work done!!!

My family and I came to Pensacola for Spring Break and had a major issue with our vehicle that would have really put us in a bind and ruined our vacation. Fortunately, we found Muffler Masters and were taken care of quickly and professionally. They were able to get us fixed up while we waited and back on the road in no time. Needless to say, we were very impressed with this business. Like us, you will not be disappointed!

Muffler Masters are weak. They advertise one thing but when I bought my own mufflers in. They couldnt even put them on. But also quoted me a higher price. SO I WENT TO DISCOUNT MUFFLERS. CHARGED ME LESS. AND I GOT A LOT MORE DONE FOR MY MONEY!💯💯

Review №25

Had family in from out of town and had brake issue with rental van. Owner acted very condescending toward my family member where I felt embarrased for them when he acted like it was not a legitimate concern that he had about how hard it was to stop the van. Told him it wasnt like a compact car. No it is not but it is a Mercedes Benz and you would expect not to have to use both feet!! Used them in the past but never again! P.S. Maybe it was the ponytail...

Ive been going to Muffler Masters for 20 years and have been treated the same from a teenager to present time. Mr. Armentrout and his staff have always been honest, polite, timely, and professional. If there was a way to rate 100 stars I would. You stay in business for as long as they have by doing things the right way, and they certainly do. Highly recommended!

Review №33

From the first phone call through the payment for services, John was highly professional, kind and thorough. I had a bad catalytic converter. John diagnosed which one of the two needed replacement. He had it replaced and had a new exhaust tip on there that I decided I wanted in about an hour and for a third of the price other shops would have charged for just the converter. Thank you, John. Highly recommend getting service here. I notice a positive difference in how my vehicle runs now and it sounds great too.

I walked in to get an estimate of how much it would cost to have work done on my 2013 Dodge Charger. I walked in the shop hopping to get a great estimate and end up leaving within less than 2 hours with an x-pipe and flowmasters installed. I was more than satisfied with the service and would definitely go back again. John seen my car and told me exactly what I should try in order to get that aggressive sound Ive been looking for. John is amazing and really keeps the business personalized. He ensures his customers are happy when they leave. He even showed me examples and hit me with a reasonable price. I was even recommended another product to help with the performance of my car and will be back for another visit soon to install. Id recommend this shop to anyone looking in the area.

This place will have my business until they give me a reason not to come in. I brought in my Dodge Challenger to get an estimate on some exhaust work and they had me on the rack within 15 minutes. The owner knew exactly what Id be looking for and gave me a fair price for the work.Car sounds great and runs even faster than before.Can yall install some exhaust headers for me?!Thanks for the great service!

Review №43

I had been to three different repair shops trying to get my exhaust system fixed/replaced. Nobody could fix it. Then the tailpipe fell down. I took it in the next morning and they immediately looked it over, gave me an estimate and fixed it. Not only did they do what nobody else could do, they did it for a lot less than the cost of a full replacement. I left very happy and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!

Mr. John and his staff were extremely friendly and professional when I brought in my 2005 Ford Expedition for a catalytic converter to be fixed. My husband called that morning to inquire about having our truck fixed and I was able to get it fixed the same day it took an hour and the check engine light is off as well and we couldn’t be happier with the level of professionalism we received and the price was reasonable. We will definitely recommend Muffler Masters of you want highly efficient and professional people to work on your vehicles. Thank you again Mr. John and your staff for being the best at what you do!!!

Review №50

I dont know squat about cars, and felt deceived after paying another shop $550 for a job that didnt do anything at all for my sound problem. I then took the car to Muffler Masters, skeptical to what they would say and charge, and if their work too would do anything to fix the problem. John said if I wasnt totally satisfied he wouldnt charge me a dime. That convinced me, and in the end I paid him in full for a job well done. If youre unsure about a problem, ask for John, the owner.

Came into the shop to put a magnaflow muffler on my 2019 Silverado. John advised me on what would work best and I decided to go with it. During the installation process John kept me updated on the progress all the while juggling multiple customers. His guys did a great job with the installation and I highly recommend his shop to anyone not only because of the quality of the work, but Johns professionalism and wealth of knowledge.

When was the last time you received a personally addressed thank you note from an automobile mechanic? This illustrates the type of person John Armatrout at Muffler Masters is.I drive an 18 year old, low-milage Volvo, not always the easiest thing to work on. John worked with me to help solve my issue in a fast and economical manner. I thought I needed a major catalytic converter replacement when all I needed was a sensor replaced.The team at Muffler Masters has my trust, let them earn yours... シ

This place is great! John the owner is very responsive and polite. They did exhaust work for me quickly while I waited. Later on I had a noise coming from under the car. I took it by to see if it was something from the repair they did. It wasnt, but he brought me out and showed me a missing bolt causing the brake calipers to rattle. He put in a new bolt and sent me on my way--no charge.

Couldnt ask for a more honest and skilled set of people. Id never dealt with a muffler shop until now and wanted a muffler delete for my v8 caddy. The owner and his son are great guys, and their welder has been doing it for 50 years. They even let me hang out and watch the process, so everything was very transparent. Their prices are great and they had me out of there in an hour.The new exhaust system roars like a lion but doesnt drone.10/10

Review №60

Before replacing the muffler on my 2006 Mustang V6, they asked if I wanted the catalytic converter replaced. I said yes. Over a year later, my check engine light is on for a O2 sensor. Come to find out, my car has two (2) catalytic converters and Muffler Masters only changed one of the 2 converters. I ended up with one new converter and 1 old (original) converter that lasted a little over a year. They did the work and never mentioned the car needed a second converter. I find that a little unprofessional.Response: At the time I dropped off my car, and during the discussion of replacing the catalytic converter, i asked if they would test it before replacing. I was told “NO, because my vehicle was over 10 years old, it needed to be replaced”. There was no test of the converter after I dropped my vehicle off and was then called and told I had 1 bad converter. It was prearranged at key drop off. So, your response does not hold true.

A+ First Rate shop - Not a local but I am in the auto repair business and this shop helped my wife today with a loose muffler problem. They were courteous, prompt and honest. They used excellent quality parts, got it in and out and we now have a new shop to use should we need it. thanks guys, word of mouth is the best advertiser and we will certainly suggest this shop to anyone that needs a referral.

Called(7/1/16) to ask about cost and specifics on a dual out for my truck, John answered and was incredibly upfront and kind. He recommended I come down to the shop to hear what it might sound like on my truck (we have almost the same vehicle) so I did and about an hour and a half later I left with the same setup. Couldnt be happier. Gives my truck an aggressive sound to match its aggressive look and the price was more than reasonable. Id absolutely recommend this shop to anybody looking to modify their stock sound, Muffler Masters wont do you wrong.

Review №76

I called muffler masters to get a estimate to install a muffler I purchased and pipe I planned on buying from them. He told me on the phone he only gave quotes in person. The next day I drove to him and after he looked at the exhaust he gave me a price to install my muffler and the needed pipe to make it complete. I then asked how much less it would be to install the muffler and use half the pipe needed to let it end not showing, and not purchase a tailpipe. He gave me the same price quote as the complete job. When I didnt just say ok heres my money, and questioned him, he became rude and said I need to take my business elsewhere. Not to mention the quote he gave me was twice as much as I got elsewhere. Needless to say my dollar will not be spent there.

I had gotten a diagnostic done on my car that read I needed a new catalytic converter after noticing my check engine light came on and found this place.

First shop that the owner seemed interested in helping me out. I had bad catalytic converters on my f150 (the truck was losing power). He took a 10 minute drive with me and even offered to cut the pipe check the cats and if they were good reweld the pipe for free! New cats installed and my truck feels like it used to 10 years ago!

Excellent experience! The owner, John, called me to ensure that I was satisfied with the product and service and told me to come back if there were any issues at all. As it was, I was not completely happy with the muffler that I chose (yes, I chose it after the try it before you buy it service that he offers) and did go back. John recommend an alternative, installed it, and charged me a VERY fair price!Its not often this type of service can be found today and I highly recommend John and his crew!

Recently came to the shop after a referral from another shop in Pensacola because of a rattling heat shield on my Subaru. Was absolutely blown away by the customer service, expertise and professionalism of everyone there. Long story short is that they were able to take care of it immediately (despite my arriving near closing) and it cost less than I ever would have imagined. Not a big review writer but this is the least I can do after the help that they gave me.

Review №88

Had muffler replaced by them and an exhaust leak fixed here. Charged me way too much for the job and installed some off-brand muffler that rusted out in under a year, even though they claimed it was “stainless steel”. After having the job done I had to return because they incorrectly hung the pipe causing it to knock against the frame and make an obnoxious sound. Thought they fixed it the second time, but turns out I was too trusting. Once I realized it was knocking again I just took it to another exhaust shop across town. Told myself I was done until today when I needed a single gasket fixed. Decided to get a quote from them because they were located close to a place I was going anyway. They came back and told me it would be $300 to replace a single donut gasket. Told them it was outrageous and went somewhere else. Don’t go here unless you would like to pay exorbitant amounts for a poor job.

John Armentrout at Muffler Masters and Brakes provided me with speedy service with replacement of the catalytic converter on my 2005 Toyota Camry. In and out in less than an afternoon and was priced quite reasonably, with a warranty! I so appreciated the look-you-in-the-eye honest communication and congenial attitudes I encountered there with all the staff. It was truly a pleasure doing business with them and I’ll certainly be back for any of their many services beyond muffler work that they offer! Free estimates and great service rolled into one tidy shop at the corner of 9th Ave and Jordan, in Pensacola, Fl. Y’all come! :-) Patricia Jones

Fantastic shop! John (Owner) was great. I got a dual exhaust w/ 4 chrome tips for my 2016 GMC Sierra. Mike the installer let me hear 2 different exhaust options to see which one I liked better. The entire time during the install he updated me and called me out multiple times to ensure the placement of tips were up to my liking. Less than a week later I got a hand written note from the owner thanking me for my purchase. I couldnt be happier with the service or quality of work. A+++++++
