Mufflers & Pipes

One day my muffler decided to fall right off my car after traveling with my wife to a local restaurant. Had to make an emergency stop nearby, and discovered that rust had finally caused the muffler to break off of the rest of the body of the piping. I called around several shops and was quoted with some outrageous prices (~$ 300 dollars), until I called one shop that recommended me to give these guys a call. Thank God I did! They saved me a headache as well as a ridiculous debt. They installed a brand spanking new muffler and definitely left it spotless.
It’s funny looking at it now because the muffler is silver and new looking while the rest of my car is old and has collected some rust. Haha. Thank you guys again for the excellent job, and the very kind service! Was in and out about an hour.
Great service at a very reasonable price! I only paid ~$ 90 dollars!
Definitely 5 star worthy! And very honestly priced too, I didn’t feel like I got upperhanded like some of these other car repair businesses practice. Thank you thank you thank you! My car sounds like new again!

We had tried two other muffler shops to bend & fabricate a muffler pipe section we bought for our 1998 Ford Ranger which didn’t fit snugly. One shop said they only do custom work & wouldnt work on it & the other told us we had bought the wrong pipe & there was no way the section could be bent or fabricated to fit our truck. So we called our local repair shop & they recommended Mufflers & Pipes who promptly bent the pipe & welded in an extension for $ 135. We were pleased with their service and reasonable pricing especially given what the two other shops told us. I read the one lower rated review and find it hard to believe that the reviewer was accurately reporting their experience.

I had a crack/​rusted pipe just after the muffler on my 05 Mitsubishi Endeavor. Several auto repair places said I needed a whole muffler but that it was available only from the dealer ($ 435 + Labor!). A friend recommended Mufflers and Pipes. I took it in and they just cut off the broken part of the pipe, fashioned a new pipe, welded it in place and sent me on my way. Total cost: $ 80. Total time: 1 Hour. I even got a chance to talk WWF Wrestling from the 80’s with them… fun! Nice to know there are businesses out there that can think outside the box and not stab you on a repair.

Absolutely one of the best experiences at a repair shop! Too bad the other reviewer felt like she was taken — I honestly cannot imagine it happening!
After getting a thorough inspection of my 1994 Celica and quotes for each work from a shop in Milwaukee (a good one, many of my friends and I think, too), I just thought of stopping here to get another quote for the exhaust system work that was diagnosed, since, after all, they are the expert (and are local to me).
Their end price (which was lower than the initial quote upon oral consultation) was almost ¹⁄₅ of what Milwaukee shop said, and the work was done within an hour and a half of me driving in. They invited me into the shop to show what was wrong and told me what they’d do to fix it. Their work is clean, and so far seems flawless! The car now sounds like a new car (which mostly means the «lack» of the sound, of course).
Oh, and also their decoration pieces in the waiting room were great. Mixture of nostalgia, sports fandom, and other things.
They do some other services, too. I think I’ll make a point to come here for the services they provide when I need them.

Do yourself a big favor and pass this place by. I just basically took my hard earned $ 250 and threw it out the window. I dealt with Gary and he lied to me big times. I came in with a loud exaust like sound and I wanted whatever was causing the loud sound to be fixed. Gary told me that the loud sound was from a combination of two problems, a hole in the flex pipe and a hole in the catylic converter. I specifically asked him, what one thing could be fixed that would take the majority of the loud sound away, and he stated, if you fix the flex pipe, most of that loud sound would be gone. So I agreed to fix the flex pipe, that cost me a total of $ 250.
Well, when the job was done, I paid the man, got in my car and it was just as loud as before. I mean, the sound was IDENTICAL to when I first drove there. I drove one block and then turned back to confront Mufflers and Pipes. Gary stated, well, I guess the sound was coming mostly from the catylic converter. I asked to see the old flex pipe that was replaced that supposedly had this hole in it that was causing all this noise. Well, he showed me the pipe, and all of a sudden, Gary referred to this «hole» as a «crack» now. This supposed crack was on the seam of the pipe and I swear I couldnt see any crack. It just looked like a seam. I couldnt see any light shining through and when I pressed it hard there, it was firm and hard. If it was a «crack», it must have been a hairline thing, invisible to the naked eye, and the fact remains that fixing it, did NOTHING to change the volume of noise which is the complaint I went in there for.
When I brought this all up, Gary got defensive and just stated well, that is my opinion and was extremely manipulative and would not admit that he was wrong in his diagnosis. He just said then that he could use an acrylic patch over the converter, which he did, but told me this was temporary and I needed to come back and pay him another $ 250 to replace the converter and get my original complaint of the loud sound fixed.
I wish I had gone somewhere that had just told me the truth from the start. The start being that the noise problem was SOLEY from a hole in the converter. Period. End of story. But Gary, like some other unethical places out there, tried to sell me on more parts that didnt even need to be fixed and real problem that really did need to be fixed, he down played, leaving me $ 250 in the hole, with still a faulty catlytic converter.
Gary is either a blatant liar or just plain incompetent at his work. I
am not sure which one it is. But I am sure that you should find a better place to take your car than this place. Dont be duped like I was.
