Had the guys at Scotty install headers and a custom exhaust. They did an excellent job. On my truck. They were very friendly. Would recommend them. Thanks guys you did a great job.

Absolutely terrible workmanship. I appreciate that they were willing to work with my admittedly complicated needs on my race car, but they need to turn down a job that is beyond their ability. The welds were terrible, and I had to rework half of them myself. One of my requirements was that the exhaust be able to be removed easily and frequently to access maintenance areas - so they made it one long piece and welded it to the subframe of my car?? I had to cut that off just to get the exhaust down so that I could weld up all the holes they left, and also re-thread the oxygen sensor port that they ruined when installing it. They also nearly tripled the cost that they initially told me, after they had completed the work. Nice people, but terrible, terrible quality work.

I thought I had an exhaust leak, Scotty and crew found nothing after about 15 minutes of examinations. Fee for service was $0. What a great place, with even better service.

As snowbirds we needed to find a honest and reliable shop for our automotive work. This is it! Always friendly and reliable. We recently had an issue with a part and Eric really stepped up to resolve the problem. We recommend Scotty's 100%.

Great little auto shop in Lake Alfred. They've done muffler work on 3 of our cars or trucks. Work was delivered on time and great quality.

My wife got a big gigantic screw in her tire. The mechanic pulled it and sealed it a tire patch. He did an excellent job as well as replace someone's exhaust tail pipe tip. He welded another tail pipe tip and it looks like nothing happened.

Great staff here, great repairs at an honest price. I've had repairs done here on my old pickup here a number of times and am always pleasantly surprised at the wonderful service here. I never go anywhere else now.

Went here for a replacement catalytic converter/Y pipe on my 2004 Tahoe, when they checked the vehicle, it didn't need converters and Y pipe, the problem was with the EVAC system which I can take care of. The vehicle had a rattle coming from the right side towards the rear of the vehicle which was a loose heat shield, I had them put a different muffler so it would sound better. Vehicle runs better and sounds great, these people could have charged me for something I didn't need, however they are honest and straight up about what they're going to do. I recommend highly and any exhaust/vehicle work will be done by this place.

Just had my new exhaust put on and did a great job at a great price. Owner was wanting to continue to mess with the driver's side cause it was off by not even a quarter inch compared to the other side. I was more than happy with it and had him leave it but that is how strong his attention to detail and strive to be perfect is. Would highly recommend them if you need work done that they can do.

I broke down on I4 and found positive reviews online. They were awesome! The mechanic immediately went to work to get me back on the road, removing the defective part while they waited for the replacement part to arrive. Their prices were very fair and honest. I'm a mechanic but didn't have tools or parts. They were honest and didn't try to up sell me or misdiagnose the problem. Their price were very good. I was on the road within 2 hours. I would high recommend Scotty Muffler and Auto Repair.

They told me that they could bend my exhaust and after waiting a week and half for an appointment. After waiting 4 hours at their shop, all they did was bend my steering linkange and my car drove worse than when it got there. They charged me $75 and all they did was damage my car. Don't take a job and make me wait if you cant finish it. That's unprofessional. Not coming back.Service: Exhaust

Extremely pleased with our visit to Scotty Muffler and Audo repair. Nothing ruins a vacation quicker than unexpected car problems. Problem was taken care of in an extremely quick time by friendly and helpful personnel. Can't thank them enough for getting us in and out so quickly and at a very fair rate. Would highly recommend them to vacationers or locals who are in need of exhaust repairs. Great job and kudos to this business. Also, thanks to Jarrod Ford for recommending this bisiness.

Eric does a great job! He also knows I'm on a budget and if he can think of alternatives to get me on the road, he'll do that. He's the most honest mechanic I've ever run into. Scotty Muffler is the best!

Called Monday dropped off Tuesday picked up fixed on Wednesday just like promised!! One of the exhaust manifolds on our 02 Nissan Xterra went bad (I normally fix my own cars...but even superman has his kryptonite... right??) lol I had already bought the manifold and Eric said that was OK! He quoted me a price for labor and we agreed it might be different apon actually inspecting it. Eric called and told us of 2 problems that I was actually kinda aware of we agreed on a solution he fixed them...and btw my battery was kinda flat from sitting for a couple months and he charged it for us! When we got the final bill even after doing a few extra fixes the bill was so close to the original quote we were very happy....a very fair and honest price!! Really great doing business with Eric... We are taking our 02 Cavalier in for motor mounts next week...its a 30 minute drive one way but worth it!! Scotty's was highly recommended by a couple friends!! If you're anywhere near Lake Alfred you couldn't go wrong using Scotty's!! The wife has her Xterra back and she is really happy....so am I cause a happy wife is a great thing!! Thanks Eric!!

Eric (spelling?) was extremely knowledgeable, prices were great. Saved me $100 and charged a fair price for service and time where someone else was trying to overcharge. Would highly recommend.

I think this is more of a custom shop than a repair shop. Had them replace my belts, chain, and water pump. Had to go back and wait 45 minutes to get the belts tightened becuase my power steering kept goong out. Then had to have the belts replaced 5,000 miles later at a different mechanic. The price was okay, but I wont be going back here.

Brought my car for muffler repair and car was damaged from the front end. As the car was still being serviced I let the mechanic know and he denied it, I told him to check his surveillance cameras to prove my point, person was not interested in checking nor did offered any compensation. Very disappointed, car was fixed but now I ride with a front end broken.
