I came here a while back to get a Mid muffler delete on my charger and they were fast efficient and did an excellent job. It s a great service to get that doesn t cost a lot but gives your car just a little something extra. I came back to them again after being recommended by a local Facebook group to get some lowering springs installed on my car. The service was friendly and they took my car and got it done in great time. My car looks absolutely amazing and I couldn t have asked for a better experience! 10/10 would recommend to everyone to come here. They are very quick to get back with you if you have any questions as well :) thank you again Sal!Service: Exhaust

Shop was recommended to me by a local for broken exhaust. Service was amazing. As an out-of-state customer they would likely never see again, they could have taken advantage, but it was just the opposite, they took great care of me just like the local said would. I highly recommend Sal's.

5 customer service. Sal has done custom exhaust on 3 of my vehicles so far, and is now the only exhaust shop I will go to in this area. Looking forward to my next visit! I highly recommend

There's a reason this shop is 5 stars. Brought my '73 GMC in for a quote. Sal made some suggestions on a header and exhaust install. Made an appointment a week later. Dropped off my truck at 9am and picked it up a 3pm the same day. It was a smooth process from start to finish and now my truck runs and sounds great.

Second trip to Sal s. First a new catalytic converter for my Lexus and next a new exhaust for my Mazda. Both times they were courteous and professional. Work was done when promised and for a reasonable price. I would recommend this business to anyone needing exhaust or brake repairs.

Man oh man am I impressed. I went in for true dual catback straights for my 2021 GMC Sierra. I didn't expect Sal to EXACTLY be able to picture and create exactly how I explained that I wanted it. Overall I was more than impressed. Well worth it for sure.

Needed my brakes worked on, normally do them myself but life happens and had to get them done fast. Had parts for front, but it turns out I needed rear as well. They got the job done quick and on time. Fast forward a few months and the rear brakes started squealing on me which was too soon. I brought the truck back, they replaced them the same day under warranty, no charge. Fantastic experience, yeah it was a bit of a pain to come back, but things happen and they made it right. These will be my go to guys for all my car issues from now on. Fair, efficient, and honest which is what we are all looking for. Highly recommend.Service: Brakes

They installed 1 7/8 long tube headers on my 2021 Mustang GT incredibly quick and done great! I asked them to readjust my exhaust tips free of charge too.Dropped my car off at 9am and it was done before 3pm! If you know anything about long tube headers, they re a pain to get installed. Incredible work. Would 10/10 recommend. Great price too. I was going to ask for military discount but felt bad too ask after they did such an outstanding job. Great customer service and skills. Worth every penny!Service: Exhaust

I went to Sals because of the high reviews I found on-line. I called for an appointment and got same day service. They got me in and out quickly. I have a classic car and wanted a place that understands classics. I'll be back to have my headers put on !

Great experience, Sal and his team had me in and out in less than 2 hours. They had to fab my set up and the price was incredibly reasonable. Expect me to come back for life, he is that good.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

If you need muffler work, don't get yourself worked up trying to find someone because Sal's is the best. I had my catalytic converter cut off Sunday, I called Monday, and Tim said, bring it over and I'll get it in. This was after my wife called another place she takes her company vehicles to and the guy said this and that, and it sounded like a real hassle. Well, 3 hours after the phone call, the car was done, and I really appreciate it!

Been here twice so far and always have an excellent experience. I had some exhaust rattling issues the first time and they fixed it within 10 minutes. Would recommend anyone needing exhaust or suspension work done here.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

I had a lot of difficulty finding a knowledgeable and honest mechanic to help with my '72 El Camino. If you are looking for someone with experience working on older cars this is the place to go. They diagnosed and fixed what was wrong with my brake system after the two previous mechanics I brought it to charged me a lot and were unable to do so. Additionally, I mentioned a sound had started coming from the engine block. They were able to determine that a rocker arm was cracked, and had it not been replaced could have caused much more damage. I appreciate their honesty as I've heard bad stories of mechanics trying to push for additional motor work when unnecessary. If they can fix issues on a 50 year old car I have no doubt they also do great work on any year vehicle. Thank you to Sal and his team!!!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes

Wow wow wow customer service better than Chick Fil A Sal helped diagnose an issue with my vehicle and proceeded with a solution to fix. Sal is probably (in the hour I met and spent around him) one of the most laid back, soft spoken, yet, no nonsense, not going to rip you off kind of guy!The employees I interacted with were professional and informative. Sal and crew went above and beyond to make sure my questions were answered (even though some of my questions were silly ).I would 100% recommend to anyone needing their vehicle repaired to check out Sal s! If only all businesses ran with such smoothness of taking care of customers the right way and putting fixed vehicles back on the road quickly. Thanks again!Services: Exhaust, Brakes

I'm very particular about my cars and hate others working not them. I bought a Cat-Back exhaust from Sal and had him install it. I was very impressed with his attention to detail, he made sure the exhaust tips were perfectly spaced. The entire install was perfect and very reasonable.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

I Bought an exhaust, I had the worse time installing it. I broke hardware, put it on weird and freaked out. Called around everyone said I had to order new clamps. Called Sal, he said bring it in I will fix you up. Dropped it off, left and picked it up after work. PERFECT. the crew hooked it up. Solid place will be doing business with them again.Service: Exhaust

I tried to do my exhaust on my own and failed miserably. I took it to Sal s and they fixed everything I had done and even re-used the same mufflers I had to save me some money. They also made it look just like I wanted (JDM style on a Genesis Coupe). It looks and sounds great now, for a great price too. 10/10 would (and will) recommend! Will definitely continue to bring my cars here.

Excellent and quick work. Didn't have to leave vehicle for the day. Only waited 1 hour to get my catalytic converter replaced. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Family owned and operated (which I love). Will return for any future work.

I was recommended to Sal's by more than one person. I showed up at lunch hoping to drop my truck off and get a quote. I was assuming that I would drop it off and get a call tomorrow...wrong. Sal immediately pulled my 97 Dodge Ram in the shop, put it on a lift and told me what I needed. I agreed and said to go ahead and do the work. I then took the wife out to lunch (Chik-Fil-A....mmmm..) and afterwards said, "lets just drive by and see if he has it in the shop". To my surprise, he was actually already pulling it out of the shop. Sal diagnosed, quoted and fixed my truck during a lunch break. This kind of quality and professionalism is unmatched in my 15 years of experience as a mechanic and now manager of 5 maintenance shops. Sal is an American business owner that loves what he does and proves it through his quality work. Truly a positive experience. My truck sounds great!

I just recently got my truck back from a local mechanic after 2 months for a "tune up" and 3500.00 later. I got it back and it sounded terrible. Took it to Sal's and he was able to fix the damage to my exhaust by the other shop. He did a very good job on a tight schedule and fair price. He even got my wife's car in for a major brake job on no notice. I appreciate the professionalism, quality work and extra mile Sal and his team provided. I strongly encourage you to consider Sal's Muffler and Brakes.

Great work always and the slogan does not lie! They bend circles around the rest. Had multiple shops say the exhaust I wanted couldn't be done or if so it would be ridiculous expensive. Sal got it done perfect for an awesome price. Been multiple times with different vehicles and always the same great quality.

Went in trying to figure out what exhaust to put on my truck, 1.5hrs later left out with new exhaust and a perfect sounding truck. Sal Jr. did a wonderful job letting me know which one would sound great on my truck. Definitely will be back and recommending to all my people. Customer service was everythingService: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Had a exhaust leak somewhere in the engine. Sal found the air filter cover was not put on properly when I recently had my oil changed from another establishment. E checked out the system, offered me a cool drink and never charged me a dime.Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

I always like to give a great review on a business when it calls for it- Sal did a great job for us on our classic Mustang with new dual mufflers, tail pipes, and tips. I told him what I was looking for and he made suggestions that turned out perfect- Thanks Sal!

Was told I needed new catalytic converters by a dealership, who wanted THOUSANDS for just the parts. Was recommended to try Sal's by another auto shop, who quoted replacing them with universal ones for a fraction of the cost. I was floored. Set up the appointment to have both replaced. When I got there, he said he'd check to see if both were bad first. Then he let me know only one was bad, so we could just replace it now and the other if/when it pooped out too. So, saved me half the money I was expecting to pay that day. Really appreciated it, the check engine light is off now, and truck runs great. Thanks!!
