Went today to fix a crack & hole in my exhaust. It was a bit of a wait, but 110% worth it! Too save as much as I did, I would have waited all day! The work was 20 min to replace the section with the hole & now everything is running as ut should! Thank you for having this service today every bit you save matters! The fact that they also do amazing work, adds 10 fold to that value! I'll be back as needs arise!

This place is great. It's best to get there 30 minutes before they open because the line builds quickly. You bring your own parts and they get you in and out. They don't play around.

I am planning to go so I'm starting with 5 stars. I will post an update with my experience after I go. *IMPORTANT INFORMATION* They are a cash only shop. The other reviews were excellent do I'm excited to try them.

Finally, I found an auto workshop/mechanics working with honesty. Nowadays, most auto mechanics do not like customers bringing their parts. As a result, the customer gets ripped off, unknown what kind of parts were used in their vehicle.But, I found this place very different. The workers were so welcoming and polite. I went there to weld my broken muffler (I have removed the muffler myself, and I just needed the welding). Most other auto mechanics would have taken it as losing an opportunity to rip off the customer. But, the guy there welded the muffler for $40, which was fair enough for 15-20 minutes of work.I asked them about their rates of working on a car. It is $20 for the oil and filter change (you bring your stuff) and $50 for brake pad replacement. Buying your parts and having them replaced would be far cheaper than the average cost in the auto repair workshop.I would refer more friends to this place.

Had my exhaust completely split on me, went here and while waiting car died, but the mechanic was super helpful even got a jumper box and pushed my car up to the bay to jumpstart my car. The service to weld my exhaust took about 10 minutes was quick and good work and cheap too $50 when all was said and done, cannot recommend this place enough if you re in a pinch and strapped for cash, these guys care about their customers!

I have been using these guys since 2010 for muffler repair. Did my breaks this morning first thing on my Nissan. I could not be happier with the service on my front breaks today and all times I have gone to see these guys.

Soh (I hope I spelled his name right), one of the mechanics there, was super helpful and honest. My catalytic converter was almost stolen and the noob thieves managed to just saw the pipe halfway thru. I would have had to spend $3000 to replace the whole thing at another place but these guys charged me $40 for a simple fix!! And it took less than 30 mins. #blessed

I spent two days trying to get completely seized and rusted rotors off of my car. Eventually gave up and took it to American Muffler Brake. They were amazing! Friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Will absolutely take my car here for all future exhaust and brake work! Highly recommended.

These guys not only know how to keep your exhaust system to a hummmmm, but they got the parts and installation skill to get the job done right the first time. Pricing is very reasonable.

Good muffler work for dirt cheap. No appts. I waited in my car from 11:30 to 4:30 cars just line up until it's your turn

I visited nearly closing hours hoping to get appointment this week, but no appointments required and just finished the job right away in 30 minutes. Other car repair shops required appointments and charged $500 for replacing the whole exhaust resonator, but in here they resolved the problem with welding charging only $50. The car got even quieter than before the leak. Definitely recommend this shop.Service: Exhaust

I went over there last week to fix my Toyota highlander exhaust which was leaking. They did a great job with a reasonable price. I returned over after 10 years. They're honest and know what they're doing. I will recommend everyone to these guys. Thanks again for your help. The guy who I talked to was named Joseph.

Catalytic converter of my Honda Accord was stolen. I came here and got my catalytic converter for $350 for the part and installation. It's a cheap price compared to other and good customer service. Recommend to anyone on any day.

It's a fast paced place which helps and hurts the business. I do like that you bring it in one day you get it back that same day. At least for most situations. Prices are usually reasonable an if anything cheaper then any other auto shop but at the same time be careful. Make sure they do work on your yr make and model, also what ever you actually need done, cause there biggest issue is that they only do under the car work. So anything directly under the hood most likely they won't do an that's their biggest downfall.

These guys are simply amazing. After getting a price of $1400 from Midas for wanting to replace just about the entire exhaust system, I went to these guys and only needed a simple way to attach two pipes together. The owner shouted over to me $100 dollars to do the job. Very smart man came up with a way to do the job which required some fabrication and skill with a welder. Very smart guys there and extremely fair and honest. I will always come here from now on for whatever vehicle I own

Great experience. The lines may be a little long depending on when you go, but they do each job really fast. It took like 25 minutes to cut out and weld in a new piece. They are pretty good with creating a line for service. Great service and well priced.

Somebody stole our damn catalytic converter!!! Right before Christmas!!! They charged us $130 to weld a new 1 on. They took about an hr. Good as new!!! I'm so grateful!!!

These guys are great. Came in had my flex pipe AND catalytic converter replaced for 330$. No appointment necessary. That price is insanely cheap. And that coming from someone who has been a salesman at 2 major muffler shops, who would have charged close to triple that.

I have to agree with most of the reviews on this site. Great prices, very fast service. They will do just what you need, or just what you ask them to do. There were four cars ahead of me, and I was still in & out with a catalytic converter replacement in just under 90 minutes. My Honda dealer wanted $1000 for the job. I bought an after-market converter for $189 and American installed it for $70.As for the language issues, I had none. We figured it out. If you are anti-immigrant, just go somewhere else, don't complain about people making a good living doing good work.
