I took my car here for a break change and a persistent humming noise. They did a wonderful job diagnosing and fixing the issue! Excellent work and fair pricing. Will definitely continue to bring my car here in the future.

Just came back from the shop. Pricing and quality of repair on my 2013 Infiniti is superb. Flex pipes and other exhaust parts. Other shops quoted me additional 240 dollars...Good price on synthetic oil change too compared to businesses in close proximity.

Very happy with the service we received. Great work at a great price! We were in a pinch with our breaks right before a road trip and they worked late to fit us in. We are very appreciative to have found a local business that goes the extra mile for their community members. Thank you!!Service: BrakesService: Brakes

David was very helpful. I should have gone in there sooner instead of waiting over a month. My exhaust was loud and seemed to shake the vehicle. Now everything is quiet and secure. $180, only took about an hour. Also I noticed some annoying customers that he handled professionally.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Took my vehicle in for an exhaust leak. I knew where it was leaking but was hoping to give a local business work and get some shopping done across the road. Gasket between the manifold and cat was blown out. I was told the manifold was cracked and needed to be replaced. When I asked where he shined a flashlight and I couldn't see anything so I asked where again and he just continued to shine the flashlight. I asked how much to fix, was immediately told $475. I said I'd hold off at this time. I ordered the gasket for $3.00 off amazon and fixed myself.Very disappointed, I'd gone to the store on Rollins several years ago and had a great experience.

I ve come to this muffler shop about 3 times and hands down probably one of the better muffler shops in Illinois. They re pretty quick, takes about 30-45 minutes if your doing a muffler delete and sometimes they ll even put an exhaust tip on for free. Overall good people and they do pretty solid word definitely earned all 5 stars.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Friendly. Showed us what was wrong. Actually we were sent to this business by another mechanic/oil change shop. He told us they had the best prices around. We had a catalytic converter replaced for just around $400. Took about an hour and a half to 2 hours. The young woman behind the counter was really great!

Took my car for two censor replacement P0016 and P0137 this is from the Illinois Air team. He said he will look it Monday. So when I went to see car. He told that I have few issues. First the car has no oil. He show me the deed stick and I see oil. Second you need a catalyst. Oil chang. Catalyst and two censor 1600 . I told u I'm that I only need the two censor to pass my emissions test. He said that he can't not guarantee that the car will pass. He said the best I can do is 1400 .I said I need sometime to think it about. He said let me do the oil change so you can drive your car. I said that is fine. I can't wait. I have to go. He said I can't drive my car because it has no oil. He show me again the deep stick and I see oil probably low but I see oil. He insisted that he was going to change oil so I can drive my car. I said no and he went ballistic and became very aggressive. He said I can't drive car because it has no oil. I said that I will run to next door to get a quarter of oil. Guess what the car had oil last than half quarter and was at max. He charged 120 for a diagnosis but I never asked for diagnostic. And second he never disclose the diagnostic rate before doing it . However I paid without asking questions. Took the car next door Ivanhoe. Nothing wrong with catalyst. Replace two censor. For 320 dollars. Couple day's later it passed the test.

Terrible place, service and work. I took my car for a quick oil change, they drained oil and had me waiting for two hours while they went to buy oil filter that they didn t have! Could ve just said that he doesn t have a part. I would never come back. Stay away from this shop.

This is my favorite "get the job done" shop. I drove in with a busted flex pipe on my car, and $100 later they had the car patched and ready.Times HAVE changed and they are no longer the $50 for anything shop, but if you need the job done on a dime these are your guys. Good work and easy to work with.Service: Exhaust

BE CAUTIOUS WHEN COMING HERE THEY RE PRICE GOUGING & INFLATING PRICES to almost 3x the suggested retail price for their services!we went here for an estimate to replace a muffler ONLY on a 2006 Toyota, the estimate was an OUTRAGEOUS $700. when this job should only be $150 $200. MAX, I almost fell over when he said $700. Do not give them your business you can get high-quality automotive services at other locations for way cheaper and reasonable prices

Had an exhaust leak from one of the pipes will be going bad. Guy tried to sell me resonator 325 that was not the noise. Ask him how much to put on a pipe and weld it basically 8 inches to 12 inches told me 80 bucks. All he did was weld the old pipe. got some JB Weld John s been holding off for four months. His job lasted two weeks. The car is an 07 and not worth the repair as I told him I was getting rid of it.

The service, while cheap, is not of good quality. They do not stand by their repairs, and I had an axle installed by these guys, which must have been installed incorrectly according to the manufacturer of the axle, yet they want to charge me again to install the new one. Also they quoted me one price for the job i specifically outlined for them, and when they called to tell me my car was ready, the price was more than double the quote. I would recommend spending an extra few dollars and just taking your cars/trucks elsewhere.

I've only been here twice, but both times, it was about 75-150 less than i would have spent elsewhere. I got a wheel bearing replaced today and although it took much longer than expected, they did it for 150 cheaper than i was quoted at 2 other places, and 20 bucks cheaper than they initially quoted me. Great service and great prices!

Scam ! David the mechanic makes up his own price .Do not take your car here . They want to make up their own labor cost . They want to charge you $200 for one hr labor work . And they cut an weld whatever just to get you in and out . I took my car for exhaust work and I was quoted $700 to fix it . I went to Car X and same work for $120 . GET SECOND OPINION!

I had been having problems with my brakes for a few weeks so I brought my car in to this shop. They told me that the break pads needed to be replaced. They gave me a reasonable price and fixed it right away. I was very happy with their mechanic service.

Great experience every time. I have serviced four cars there for many years and the work is always terrific. Dave is the best and I highly recommend this particular shop.Services: Exhaust, Tires, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Exhaust, Tires, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Oil change

Removed and replaced a perfectly good catalytic converter. A $60 exhaust job cost me $460. They had been good to me in the past, but I'm guessing the lockdown hurt business and they took it out on me.

Came in 10 minutes before closing for a bolt to be removed and they refused to extend 10 minutes of their time to remove only 1 stuck bolt, ONLY. I ve been coming to this shop for years now, and they ve truly let me down. What a shame for them to have the audacity to do this.

I found my new mechanic shop. Can do more then just mufflers, very honest, fast service and reasonably priced. Explaind what needed to be done and willing to show me if I had any questions. I suggest giving them a try.

This place has very decent pricing and the exhaust work done is very good quality. My family mechanic recommends this shop to all of his customers for non-mechanical (muffler and pipe) work. They know what they are doing.

Had to go in to have my brakes looked at. They needed to bleed the lines, and had to go to Fairhaven auto clinic because after charging me $80 to bleed the brakes, the brake pedal had to be "pumped" 3-4 times, just to stop. Fairhaven auto bled them correctly, and barely charged me anything.
