Fast friendly service. No wasting my time or theirs. Brought my van in to be looked at, called back within the hour, repaired in next, picked it up the same day- no appointment. Reasonable prices, friendly staff. Didn’t stay and wait, can not comment on waiting area or space. Thanks again

I had a great experience here. Brought my car in with a muffler problem. I was on my way all fixed with a fair price in an hour. I was so happy I sent my husband in with a similar issue a couple of weeks later.Same great results! Will use them for other things too!

Absolutely love them our family has been going to Saul for years. They are professional and incredibly skilled. Would recommend anyone who needs a second opinion or even needs a first goes there. More than reasonable pricing. Honest good working folks who dont come around too often now-a-days.

This is not an emotional review. Facts only.Busy place and I asked specifically if they had performance mufflers in stock and the manager said yes. Got my car on the lift to only find out they’d have to order the mufflers. I had minor work done. Ask before they work on your car if it’s warranty. Very disorganized and they don’t make appointments. I would not recommend them.

Sal is the best, hard working, and great prices. He takes good care of two of our vehicles. Plus, I just like them, great American work ethic. Thanks Sal!

My dad recommended this place to me as a cheaper and high quality alternative to some other local garages. My car was making some grinding sounds when I drove slow. When I was called in, the mechanic showed me the issue (loose plate at the bottom) and removed it free of charge - and they didnt charge me an inspection fee for this 5 min job. These guys are genuine and honest.My father got some work done (replaced a flex pipe) recently and MMB charged hundreds of dollars less than local competitors.

They do a great job. And they are very helpful. On what the vehicle needs. And not what the car repair try to sell you.

Very honest folks. I brought my car in with a rattling muffler. It was a few loose screws. Another mechanic would have easily told me I needed half the muffler replaced and charged me hundreds. Thank you for your honestly and great service! Highly recommend.

Great company, great prices, and good service! The staff were very friendly, and they give great prices! My car has been running so much better since we went. I went to another garage, and they gave me a whole list of expensive fixes that my car needs, but I came here and bam! All I needed was a simple tire change and some new brakes. Great service! Thank you so much.

I called for a quote on a service for my car.It took a while to get answered. I was finally able to give the details to the woman who answered and she said she would inquire with their mechanic and call back. 3 weeks later and no response. Great way to run a business.

Review №28

Very fair and honest. Ive been coming here since they opened years ago. They only replace what is necessary. Prices are very reasonable. While I was waiting for my car an older man had his car in for a brake job. They told him they were still good. other places would have tooth him they needed to be replaced. Now that is an honest business.

Someone at a parts store told me about them years ago. Its worth the wait as its first come first serve. They do real good work. Their prices are reasonable and Saul the manager is courteous knowledgeable and his estimates are pretty much on the money. They have been there for a while so reliable and growing. If something by chance isnt right they fix it again and honor their word. I recommend Sauls team and lady behind desk is nice too

Thank you for getting my Malibu in your shop and worked on, even though I had a list of stuff to be done you you guys were just a few hours off from closing. I greatly appreciate your help with your work & cost. You didnt try to take the pocket lint from me. You guys were great.. Thank you for helping me find a quiet car again!

Review №32

Absolutely love them. Have brought them so many vehicles over the years. If they dont have the experience to fix whats wrong they send you to someone who does. Cheap and reasonable prices with awesome service. Everytime I buy a new vehicle I bring it to them right away to get it squared away. I drive an hour out of my way to go to them when I have something wrong because I know Saul and his team can get it done for me and get it done right the first time.

Review №42

Went for a muffler replacement and was told it would be not long, maybe an hour or two and that they would call me when it was done. I left and three hours later when I had not heard from them I tried to call. No answer. When I got someone to drive me back to check, they had moved my car but there was no change, Ill call you, maybe tomorrow morning for an overpriced replacement. Would not recommend over any alternative.

I have taken my 1989 civic for an exhaust pipe replacement last year, 2018, and it came out good with no problem and with a good price. Recently I took it back but to replace the catalytic converter and they did a good job once again. I will keep coming back to this muffler shop. I recommend this shop.

Got my aftermarket muffler installed here. Since I could not get the frozen and stuck bolt off myself I had them do it. It was quick and good priced. They didn’t charge me an arm and leg like other quotes I got. They even got the gasket and new bolts, super happy.

Review №47

Excellent service. Went with my buddy to drop off my car as its been acting up. Thankfully the lady at the front desk was super friendly and took care of us immediately. I didnt get my car back the same day, but thats not a problem at all! They were super busy, I understand that. Price was very reasonable in my option, $170 for ignition coil and diagnostic. The mechanic was super nice and explained everything in great detail when I went to pick the car up.

Review №48

Talk about price up!!!I had them install mufflers on 3 different cars in a span of 2 years.Called them again and theyre price sky rocketed!Went from installing mufflers for $35-50 to almost $100?!?!?!?!Going to have to start looking elsewhere now. Its a shame, they were good at what they did. But the price increase is RIDICULOUS..Look elsewhere

I usually do my own auto repair. I did not have time to look at my daughters Jeep. I took it to Mexico Mufflers and Brakes. Told them my diagnosis and left the Jeep with them. They contacted me when they said they would and gave me great news! It was only an o ring instead of the complete set of Trans cooler lines(my diagnosis) They could have very easily told me that I was right and charged me several hundred dollars and I would have paid no questions asked.It was a breath of fresh air to meet some hard working honest people in the auto repair industry. I would recommend Mexico Muffler and Brakes to anyone including my friends and family.Thank you for your integrity and great workmanship!

Review №52

Would give no stars if I could. My husband went in to find out about a bad O2 sensor on our Buick. They charged us $40 just to look at it. Then after over an hour of inspecting the vehicle they said it was three other issues totaling over $500! One of then being the catalytic converter that we just recently replaced. I think this place is a scam to try and get more money. Wont return.

Me
Review №53

Excellent service. They were able to repair a part instead of fully replacing it. I wouldnt have known the difference but they went out of their way to literally cut the price in half for me. It was also the first time Ive been to an auto shop without feeling patronized or sexually objectified. Definitely recommend!

Review №58

I brought my car in for some muffler work. After they told me they cant fixed it, I told them I will come and get the car. It was after they close so I told them to leave the keys inside and leave the car open. They did leave them and locked the car. They refuse to open the car and I had to call locksmith and pay 100$ for someone to open it. The lady in the front was super rude with a nasty attitude telling me its my fault. What a joke this place is!!!

I was there for the 1st time this morning. Very happy with I went there. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly.

I have been here several times and they have done great work. They did quality work for less than half of what was quoted at other muffler shops. They have recently expanded and it appears they can handle a greater volume of cars.

Review №66

Why is there a no star option for this place? WORST SERVICE EVER!!! I will explain why.We took our car here and it has not been the same since. Only reason we took it was because dealer was charging a little bit more than them. I had to constantly take the car back after they “fixed” the problem. The lady at the desk….has no clue what is going on.The “manager” Saul…the only good thing about him is that he can speak English. Very unhelpful and does not care about the customers.Had the car looked at here and they quoted $900 for changing a few parts. I had to call off work because it took them forever to fix the car and we have to keep bringing the car back because the check engine error code kept coming. They kept making excuses and kept telling us to bring the car back in. If they couldn’t fix it the first 4 times, why should I take it back in again?They could not get the car fixed at all and they took our money and now I am down $900 and the problem is still there. on top of that, they broke the back seat belt and left dirty oily finger and hand prints all over the interior. Ever heard of rubber gloves?IF YOU LIKE YOUR CAR…DO NOT TAKE IT HERE. Me saying they half ass their work would be a compliment for them.

Review №73

I came in with an aftermarket Flowmaster and asked if they could put it on for me and they said no problem. Now they did recommend that they had to put a little more pipping in order to make a more perfect fit but hey they did a damn good job and my car definitely has a deeper roar because of the super 10 muffler. Highly recommend.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I dropped off my 2003 Lancer ls to get looked at. All they did was change the battery. I already did that. They even lost our hood handle claiming me we didnt have one. We definitely had one until we brought it. I suggest anyone who brings there car here check it up getting the car back.

Review №87

What a horrible place. To start they first insulted my car and then proceeded to tell me they couldnt put straight pipes on my car like we had talked about over the phone for $80. Then they tell me they will just add a pipe to make it look like it has dual exhaust and charge me double the money. What kind of service is that? If your white dont go here they will just try to rip you off because you cant understand them.

Review №95

You get what you pay for. Do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE but Mexico Muffler. After incorrectly welding our new exhaust and it nearly falling off in traffic, they simply stated that their warranty is 3 months. I fell shortly outside of that time frame, but an exhaust shouldnt just fall off out of the blue. Im not one to usually take time to write a review, but I felt completely disrespected and felt the need to warn anyone else reading this review to please stay away from this place altogether. There are plenty of businesses nearby that stand behind their work and take care of you. A complaint has been processed via Better Business Bureau. Please do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this place.

I stopped today at this shop in wheeling. One, because I was recommended to this place as being a friendly and good price place. Two, because to me it was very convenient as I live in wheeling as well. I only got as far as the parking lot, when I was received with a bad attitude by one of the mechanics in the muffler anf alignment department complaining that I was in the wrong parking space and I should move immediately. I ask him where should I go for someone to help me but he was more concern about me moving. Didnt guide me to the right place. Thats all it took for me a business that runs on people such as this isnt getting any business from me nor anyone I happend to know. This place is awful. [One, because how can anyone trust a place where the person who will work on your car has a bad attitude and takes it out on the people who will pay his bills.] (Two because if one has never done business with such place what will make such place trust worthy.) Everyone who made be thinking of going to such place as this save yourself a headache and dont even bother with such place. Its a shame employees dont recognized the meaning of respect and help at their place of work were they are consider professional. (((BAD PLACE FOR BUSINESS))) I dont bother to go into the office such actions can speak for itself.

Do not go to this place . I tooked my vehicle for a emmision issue and they replace sensors with old sensors. Plus they disconected hoses and in others lines they cut air flow hoses. I went to another mechanic shop and they spotted all their tricks and fix my car the right way. Saul Martinez is the manager at Mexico alley mechanics. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR AT THIS SHOP. CROOKS!!!! LADRONES !!!
