Great guy! Came from out of state for a vacation and we heard a weird noise on our car. He helped us fix our heat shield and made us feel safe about driving back. Highly recommend!!

I m a very shy person but he made me feel comfortable, took me in without an appointment for my catalytic removal and now my truck sounds good again with a straight pipe! I will definitely come back when I want a different setup. Price was very fair & he was professional. He was honest & you could tell he was a good person. How I m treated determines where I spend my $. Thank you again! :)

Super service, low cost, no wait. My car had an exhaust vibration that I thought was due to a rusted broken hangar. Billy welded that and had it fixed in less than 5 minutes, but the vibration was still there. Then he found there was excessive flex at the coupling just in front of the hanger and welded that and bingo, vibration gone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, ridiculously low charge. Billy is honest and good!

Told he wouldn t take a slightly lowered car after I came with an appointment . Definitely could be done but refused. If your car is lowered or just low don t waste your time.

My baby, 2008 Toyota Camry, was sounding kinda loud. I mentioned this to associate at Advanced Auto while purchasing a car battery and he suggested I find someone who specializes in exhaust. He went on to say that instead of having to purchase an entire exhaust system( which repair shops would do) it could be possible to piece in repair. Searched on google for muffler expert and found Billy at Fruitville Muffler Shop, called him, got an appt the very next day, he repaired a leaking joint area and I was on my way within an hour. It is a metal garage and there is no Air Conditioning, but he had huge fan, a place for me to sit. He actually showed me the area that needed repaired, explained what he would do and fixed it while I waited. Total cost: $60 cash only business, but there is an ATM close by if you need. Very knowledgeable. I was very pleased w/outcome and will recommend him & use him again if needed.

9/29/21....Billy was professional, courteous, and efficient! I made an appt. and took in my 2011 Escalade and asked him to replace the oem muffler with a Flowmaster Super 44 series. No lie, i got there at 3:20 and by 3:45 I was already rolling out! I work on my cars and very picky and reluctant when I have to take my cars in. Fruitville mufflers has me as a customer for life! My son just smiled when he heard my truck and wants to now change his exhaust also on his 2016 Acura.Thanks Billy.Service: Exhaust

They fixed the actual problem and were honest & trustworthy.So glad to have my exhaust "breathing properly" again.We didn't need a new muffler or catalytic converter, we just needed a new hose to repair an area that rusted and caused hole. Plus a few minor parts. 2009 Toyota running awesome now!Service: Exhaust

Billy saved the day. My Tundra was running horribly due to bad Catalytic Converters. He found a solution for me at a fraction of what the dealership wanted. Two days later, my check engine lights are still off, and the Tundra feels like brand new. Very thankful!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Amazing guy and high quality work. Did a little shopping around and Billy's reviews were amazing and price was right. He got me in immediately and had my truck done in no time. Sounded amazing and he even gave me a better deal than originally stated. I still agreed to pay him the original rate because I appreciated the quality and an honest business owner. Thanks Billy!

Billy is great. I had read good reviews online. Something was banging and clattering under my car and he took care of it quickly and easily. No runaround, no big bill. Will return if I need other work done in the future.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Amazing! Experience. We were going to be heading home back up north but developed an exhaust leak! He looked at it the same day I called, ordered the part, and the day the part came in he fixed it within an hour for very fair price. Incredibly nice! Honest man. Wished us a safe journey home and if we need help ever, to let him know. Highly recommend this shop!

I do not normally write reviews, but will make an exception this time. Great service. Honest. Took care of the issue with my exhaust in under 30 minutes. Fair price for the service rendered. I would highly recommend Fruitville Muffler Shop for any issues you might have with your exhaust or muffler.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

I made an appointment with the shop right at their opening time, got there 10 minutes early expecting to be waiting for him to get there and open but wouldn't you know it! He was wide open ready to bring my car right in! The work done was amazing quality, he got it done in the time frame he promised and was a super kind guy. I took a few extra business cards to hand out and I've told all my friends and car buddies they have a new exhaust guy to go to. Thanks again, Billy!Note: he is a cash-only business so make sure you bring cash, otherwise there is a gas station on the next street over with an ATMService: Exhaust

I feared that my daughter was in for a large bill to repair her exhaust on a 2008 Pontiac G6 with 140,000 miles. Billy quickly identified the issue, gave me an estimate of $150 to replace the resonator and some pipe, and had the repair made in under an hour. As a reference, I waited almost 2 hours at Wilde Honda for an oil change.Anyway, he is honest, efficient, no BS, and I can strongly recommend him.Service: Exhaust

Got there early in the morning and he got me right on the ramp and took a look and talked to me confirming what I wanted done (rear muffler delete) giving me a price estimate. Talked to us and showed off his equipment and just a friendly, passionate, and talkative guy. Overall great service and experience for a reasonable price.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Straightforward, no big talk just told and more importantly showed me the issue. Could be fixed while I waited, so I did and drove away with the quietest car I d had in ages for a great deal. There is a good reason this place has a 4.9 rating! High recommend!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Wow! This young man is simply Amazing! I recently brought my daughters jeep to him with a muffler issue and we were expecting a large repair bill and were so happy and relieved when he told me that all it needed was a simple welding job! After just being ripped off the month before by Firestone for other repairs we are so grateful to have found an HONEST and KNOWLEDGEABLE mechanic!! Thank You Billy!!!Service: Exhaust
