I had recently got a mid muffler delete on my 19 Challenger RT at this other muffler shop and I honestly believe the guy went under my car pulled his pants down and took a dump because that s honestly what the car sounded like after they were done, the car had this raspy sound coming from the exhaust every time I accelerate. Came to this shop and met Lenny who actually know his craft including the experience to know which pipe to actually put in the car when doing a mid muffler delete. Made an appointment to get it fix last week and my car new only sounds great! But it also stopped making that noise! Don t make my mistake and actually go to professionals

I visited the shop today for cat back exhaust installation. They took me in almost right away and the whole installation was done less than an hour. I highly recommend this shop. Guy who worked my car was called JR I think and he's a professional,great knowledge on exhaust systems!

When I walked into the shop all the shop staff were huddled in the office talking, no one was in the vehicle bay area working (4-5 bays) I got a stank eye from some dude behind the counter like how dare I walk in there and speak to them. I asked them to please quote me for an exhaust pipe adjustment (fix a hanger) and they told me to make an appointment for the quote. I m a mechanic personally, and on my personal vehicles I always pay someone else to do the work for liability, convenience, etc, and when they told me to come back to quote a job that requires 30-60 seconds of eyes on under the vehicle I knew this shop wasn t for me and most likely anyone else. A professional mechanic would have said no problem and stepped out for the 5 minutes to speak with me about my problem and give me a price and told me to schedule an appointment then. Needless to say the shop rent here will consume these new owners if they don t learn how to value their customers better. I would have paid whatever they quoted me and made an appointment to come back later and have the work done has they given me the time of day and their ignorance forced me to leave indefinitely. These people *might* do good mechanical work but they lack the final skill in running a business and that s customer service. This was a truly odd and bad experience that I ve never had anywhere else.

My engine light came on. I went to ABM without an appointment saw Lou the manager who was very helpful. He scanned my car and didn t charge me found the problem and fixed it for much less than other places. Thank you Lou for your honesty and saving me money. I highly recommend this shopService: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

The guys are super helpful and very friendly! I didn t have an appointment and they still took me in and got my car done very fast. They installed an X pipe for my new Mustang and it sounds amazing. Best prices in town too, I had called around to other places before heading to their shop and got quoted almost triple. I will definitely be coming in to install my exhaust when I get it next week!

If you are like me a female who looks at the reviews before going to the place because you do not want to get rip off then this is for you. I came here because I brought my car to a kia dealer shop service do to a vibration and engine light blinking. They did a "diagnostic " and came out that it was the catalytic converter and since I'm a female right away they put the highest price plus diagnostic plus taxes. I told them no thank you and found this place with my boyfriend. Due to the "diagnostic" kia told me, I told AMB on the phone what it was to see how much to replace the part. then gave me the price and I agreed with it so they order the part. Well thanks to their excellent and honest work I get informed that it's not the catalytic converter. I told them to do a diagnostic at their place and it was something different and even though they were so busy they not just fixed the problem but explained to me what it was and showed me what it was. They treated me equally with respect and they were honest NOT riping me off like that awful kia place. So if u looking for a place to fix or get anything done for your car, I recommend this place 100000 %. Garry thank you so much for explaining to me and keeping me informed about my car. And for the person who did the labor which I did not catch his name, thank you for your work . This is the only place i would come for now on. trust worthy and good value. Plus very knowledgeable and respectful %Service: Auto maintenance

Lou and the staff are excellent, honest and communicative. I really appreciate their honesty in diagnosing the problem with my car. They easily could have sold me on an issue I thought was the problem, and did not. They re knowledgeable and most importantly, I trust them.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

I went in about a month ago to have my AC serviced. The technician, Kyle, who worked on my car came out and thoroughly explained what he had done and in terms that I could understand. He also explained that I would need to come back and why. No problem.As I was finishing up the business side of my visit, he asked me about the tint on my two front passenger windows. Some of the tint had peeled off and my feeble attempt to scrub/scrape off the remaining gunk had left it with muddled visibility (especially the driver s side!). So between the window visibility and the AC, I always had it down. He asked if I wanted him to take it off. Of course I said YES PLEASE ! By the time I finished paying (no complaints on price) Kyle had my window cleared and automatically did the passenger side too!!Advanced Muffler and Brake of WPB went above and beyond! I have an appointment to see them again today to follow up with my AC, as they informed me in Kyle s thorough explanation, when I would need to return. I am confident that I will be met with the same great service!Service: Air conditioning

I recently utilized this company to install a muffler my jeep. The price and service were on point and the staff were friendly and professional. Definitely a go to place for your automotive needs!

I've been going there for at least 7 years. The service is always wonderful. It may take a little longer. but my car is always in tip-top shape when I drive away. I usually make an appointment; as they are a bit busy. They are funny and personable. The prices are very fair. The staff is also honest.... I was there two weeks ago and this man came in to get a whole new exhaust (he had been told by another place that he needed to replace the whole thing) which would have cost more than $300.00; the mechanic looked at it and all he need was to have something adjusted which cost him less than $50.00. It is nice to know that they do the right thing even if they don't know anyone is watching...

Gary and AMB was recommended by my mechanic to help with an issue with my muffler. He got me right in and within an hour had corrected the problem. When I went back to my mechanic, and showed him the bill for what AMB had to do, he said, "He gave you a great price!"Thanks AMB!!

Very honest shop. I stopped in to get a second opinion on what I thought was an exhaust leak. Turns out the car was fine. Just yesterday I brought my car to Midas on Northlake in Lake Park and they told me I had an exhaust leak and needed over $500 worth of work. Advanced muffler saved me over $500 and gave me peace of mind that my car was safe. I will now go to them for any other services my car needs just because they were honest and did not try and sell my unneeded repairs.

Took my 2015 nissan murano in to get some modifications to my exhaust. And they did a superb job! Everything turned out clean with excellent sound. They all were really cool, had plenty knowledge and even got the job done earlier than expected. Would highly recommend them to anyone I will be sending all my clients for work to be done here. Keep up the good work guys!

I called several places before I called them, and they were the only ones that helped me right away, the guy that helped me over the phone was Lou ( not sure of spelling ) he told me the price over the phone and took me in the same day, the service took a little over an hour, and they are a very friendly staff.They did a mid muffler delete on my Dodge Challenger and the car sounds AMAIZING I will recommend this place to all my friend.Thank You for all your help.Service: Exhaust

I most recently brought my truck to Lou and the experts at AMB. They performed an exreamly difficult diagnosis and I was contacted immediately with the results. Lou gave me an immediate plan of action and accurate pricing to fix the problems. The did a fantastic job at great price. Lou and the crew at AMB are knowledgeable, professional, timely and most of all TRUSTWORTHY!!! I have now found "my guy" and "my shop"... Its AMB / WPB!!!

I took my car up there to be diagnosed back in July. I explained everything that was going on (there were quite a few things). I was so happy with them fixing the initial problem. However, once working on the initial problem they called and asked if I noticed my breaks locking up. Well due to the initial problem I had barely driven my car over 5 months so no I did not notice that. They chalked it up to being the battery and suggested I get a new one. I followed their suggestion. Shortly after getting my car back, my car was still shaking and not accelerating (which were things I told them when they did the original diagnostic). We ended up taking it somewhere else where they figured out what the problem was and stated how DANGEROUS of a problem it was. The breaks weren t locking up because of the battery but because of something else (which was causing the shaking and acceleration problems) that could have caused my car to break/ stop out of nowhere which obviously could cause an accident. Thankfully I trusted my gut and did not drive my car (with my newborn baby)after I was told it was fixed because it still felt off.I am thankful for the one problem they fixed, but extremely disheartened by them not catching the other real problem and just saying I needed a new battery.

I wanted my 2019 Chrysler which has a Hemi, to sound like it had a Hemi. I was recommend to Advance Muffler, I talked to Lou the shop Manager discussed options. When I was told the price for parts and installation I was amazed. Today I had the system installed and was ecstatic with the outcome. Great job, great sound THANKS for a great job, Will recommend you guys to anyone that needs this type of service.

On November 12, 2020 I take my 2010 jeep liberty to have my A/C check it was not blowing any air.The owner told me it cost $160 to just check the A/C.Also if he find any problem it will cost extra.Honestly that is a ripoff.So I leave and go to Firestone Auto care to my surprise firestone only charge me $59 to check the A/C.And actually nothing meager was wrong with the A/C. A wire was just grounding out it take them 10 minutes to fix it.I would pay $160.00 dollars for nothing.I would neve go back there are recommend anyone to this company I give them I 00000 STARService: Air conditioning

I had a noise coming from my truck thinking it might be from the muffler so I brought my vehicle here. I dropped it off thinking that, like most places, that it would take them the day to take care of. I got a call within two hours that they thought the noise was from the transmission and suggested I take it to a transmission shop. I also wanted oxygen sensors replaced and they had already taken care of that as well. This shop is professional and fast. I would suggest this shop to anyone.

I have a fairly modified 2015 Camaro SS, and had a bit of an exhaust issue (hanger came loose) and it started touching the ground. Luckily I brought it in and they fixed it within 2 hours, and only charged me $40. No gimmicks, no salesmanship, just genuine quality service. Highly recommend you bring your car to these guys, as they will be up front with you and your needs.David

My 2008 Lexus IS 250 was making this hollow noise and rattling when the car was on. I initially thought it was the transmission, but Advanced Muffler & Brake immediately picked up on the pipes having worn out.They rebuilt custom Y-pipes & connectors for me in under five hours, and the car runs, sounds, and drives great. The price was less than I expected, too.Lou and the gang we're friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. Thanks for your help and Happy New Year.

My sister took her Olds. SUV to Martino Tire in Royal Palm Beach for brake work, where they quoted her $1,065 dollars to fix them, She did NOT have the work done there but went to Advanced Brake and Muffler (where my dad recommended her to) and they did the job in 2 & 1/2 hours for $450 dollars! The men were nice, the work was done properly, the first time, she/we have NO problem recommending them, whatsoever!

Nothing I hate more than having my time wasted. Called and asked if they would do a custom turbo back exhaust, they sounded excited. Brought my car in the next day and said they couldn't touch anything before half way down the exhaust.They'll tell you anything to get your car on their lift. Pretty typical."Cannot void the warranty" Are you mistaking your shop for a dealership? You've done that type of work for me before. If you're too busy to take on work than say so, don't waste people's time.

These guys do it right. Lou got my car, his guy went above and beyond welding the exhaust cracks in a few hours. I was only in town for the day and they kept me going. Excellent service.
