Customer Reviews
I came to the shop with a vision on a completely custom exhaust. Was able to get the car in the pit and go under with Todd and Carlos, and I physically showed them my vision. Most shops don’t let the customers near the car so it is hard to explain sometimes. The place is LOW CAR FRIENDLY! I am 3 inches off the floor….if that and was able to make it in and out with barely scraping. I left my car there and had Todd’s phone #. He was sending me videos and pictures throughout the entire process and kept me updated. Texted me for permission for certain steps when something needed confirmation. Was nice knowing they didn’t go ahead and just do what they wanted.
Carlos & Jose is best person we came for muffler to fix he was quick and professional.
They did a great job, overpriced for the emergency aspect of the repair. I had found the complete exhaust for 350 but had no way of driving to go and purchase it. So when they said it would be 400 to fix the exhaust . Even though it was expensive to fix I had to do it. I explained can you do a cheap fix . " I can only do professional work, the cost is 400". I feel confident then that at least the repair would last. When I left the muffler was vibrating alot and they explained this is not normal ( didn't vibrate like that before) . I took off ( 1973 VW bus) and got stranded on the freeway. Exhaust valve burn out from the exhaust with a broken muffler. Turns out the muffle vibration was the loose muffler at the heads. So I called with the stranded Bus back home , broken engine . They said
Owner was super helpful. I was over 400 miles away and he handled everything over the phone, including taking a deposit for parts. He got me scheduled for the next morning while I was in town. 10/10 service—great value and a solid reputation.
I brought my car into Budget Muffler Brake & Alignment for muffler work and general service, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, the staff was friendly, honest, and transparent about what needed to be done. They took the time to explain the different options for repair and replacement without pressuring me into unnecessary upgrades. The work itself was excellent! my car sounds and drives better than ever. The welds were clean, the parts were high quality, and everything was finished on time. What really stood out was their attention to detail and pride in their work. Pricing was fair compared to other shops in the area, and I left feeling confident that my car was in good hands. Whether it’s mufflers, exhaust systems, or general automotive repairs, I’d recommen
