Great service, great price, and fast service while I waited only 30 minutes. The owner was very pleasant. He even showed me what under my car needed replacing. I never had a mechanic to bring me into the shop and show me the actual problem. The owner even spoke with my brother on the phone to discuss what he was replacing under my car. My brother was in agreement with the problem and the price. My car went in, sounding like a lion, and came out sounding quiet as a mouse! The only thing is I wish Mr. Bob's English was better. But his English was much better than the first shop I went to and they were going to charge me a hundred dollars more. Thanks, Ingold, for the recommendation! I will take my car there in the future if I need to.Thanks, Mr. BOB!

I needed some pipe work done , he took his time to work with me to get what i wanted possible , it was a challenging task but he made it happen!( the first picture is the pipe work he did ) ( the second pipe is the one I had before and is now in the trash ) I am very happy with the quality of work, Good solid weld and got everting lined up evenly.If you wonder about pricing I had two pipes( 2feet worth ) and my muffler re-welded for less that $200! and on top of that he my dream a reality. Just make sure you set an appointment and call ahead has usually very busy!Service: Exhaust

Super good service, Bob was super fun and quick. I drove my car up on the ramp watched him work. I got in 12:00 pm, left at 12:18 pm. Really awesome experience. Pipe broken is the before and the shiny braided pipe is the new flex pipe. Awesome job Bob, saved me tons of money and time!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

I have 1975 Fiat spider 124 , I went to four different mufflers shops and know one knew how to or didn't want to put my muffler on ,a friend of mine told me about Bob's muffler and Radiator I tell you this after telling him know one wouldn't put the muffler on and by the car being a classic car I don't drive this guy stop out of his busy schedule and came to my home looked at and put the muffler on the next day! Man tell you you don't get that kind business anymore!!! Trust me let him do your muffler and Radiators. Well done sir!

Went in for a quote to replace the catalytic converter and was able to make the deposit that day. A few days later I received a call stating the part was in. Got one of the two catalytic converters replaced within a few hours! Hopefully I won't need the 2nd replaced anytime soon but if/when i do I will return. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Best exhaust experience ever! My muffler broke off the exhaust pipe and I called up Bob and he told me to come on in. Within 15 minutes he had me in and out with a new muffler. Best part is he put on a muffler quieter than the last shop told me was the "quietest possible". Great price and you cant beat the timeliness. I'd recommend Bob to anyone who needs muffler or exhaust work.Service: Exhaust

Twenty four hours ago, I didn't know exhaust shops were a thing... but mechanic told me that's what I needed after I backed into a steep driveway and knocked my sedan's muffler/exhaust loose.I just missed Bob before closing the day before, and I didn't bother leaving a voicemail, but he called me back before opening the next morning to see what I needed. I stopped by in the afternoon and they gave me an honest fix... thankfully it wasn't too messed up, and I was out the door quickly. I hope I can take better care of my exhaust in the future, but if I ever need this type of service again I'll surely go back to Bob!

My car needed a new catalytic converter. Bob was extremely helpful through the process and did everything possible to replace the converter in a timely manner. Bob provides an exceptional level of customer service at an affordable price.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Bob's the best! When our catalytic converter was stolen, he was able to replace it for literally 1/8th the price we were quoted elsewhere. Super quick turn-around, very patient with us, incredibly friendly and kind. 10/10, great service and we'll be coming back. You won't regret going to Bob!

Bob fixed my muffler in 20 minutes at a great price. I visited 2 other big chain auto shops and they wanted to charge me through the roof and keep my car over night. 10/10 recommend!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

I was getting an oil change at Ingold's and they noticed that my exhaust was rusted through in multiple places - they recommended Bob's. I drove right over, he put my car up on the riser and took a look, pointed out to me the missing (rusted) chunks of pipe and the length that would need to be replaced, quoted me a reasonable price, and fixed it the next day. My car is SO QUIET now. I took seriously that another shop recommended his work, and I can see why.Service: Exhaust

Awesome experience!! Bob is very friendly and was able to fix my exhaust pipe in no time. With his very convenient set up, I was able to drive my car onto his vehicle lift, get out and talk with him while he was working on the welding. Great service at a great price. Highly Recommend!!

Fantastic experience getting a muffler replaced at Bob s. After a quick lift of the car to assess the muffler problem, he gave me a quote and was able to get the work done immediately. Very quick service, great communication and transparency. I would highly recommend.

After waiting months and months at another shop for a muffler to arrive from overseas, I finally gave up and was just driving around with no muffler or tail pipe.My check engine light finally came on and I had to do something.I found this shop on Google and took a chance.WOW! I AM SO IMPRESSED!I got exactly what I needed at HALF the price the other place was trying to charge me AND I was in and out in about 20 minutes.So much knowledge and experience in one place. I highly recommend this shop.I have a quiet car, finally, and my check engine light is off.

The most positive car repair experience I ve ever had! Bob was able to look at my car right away and got it fixed in 20 minutes for way less than I expected. My car was horribly loud but now it s so quiet I can barely tell the engine is on - all in all highly recommend!

Muffler needed work. Googled mufflers near me and Bob s came up. So glad I went here! Now we have a nice quiet ride after Bob took care of what needed to be done in about 30-45mins. He knows his craft and super personable. Reasonable pricing and quick service

I had an appt with Bob for early in the morning, but I went to the wrong place. Called Bob and explained it to him, he was more than willing to fit me in. I got there and he immediately worked on my car and was done in no time. Work performed was great. Had muffler deletes cut out with mini racing bullets replacing them. Great price and quality. I will bring all future projects his way.Service: Exhaust

I experienced a hit & run that damaged the exhaust of my car. I didn't know much about how to solve the problem, but I brought it in and Bob fixed it for free with a hammer. I know a lot of folks are afraid of someone taking advantage of them when they aren't knowledgeable about something. Bob is someone you can trust!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Excellent service! I had multiple problems with my exhaust, and I brought it to Bob's expecting a day or more wait to get it fixed. He was able to complete the job in under 1 hour! Honest and fast, plus his prices can't be beat. I recommend that everyone come here for exhaust needs.

Bob put a new Dynomax muffler on my truck. He was very friendly and had me in and out in about 20 minutes. I'm very happy with the work, my truck sounds great! Will definitely be returning with any other of my exhaust needs.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Bob was great. He got me in to see him very quickly, was on time, and finished in advance of when he said he would. He even made arrangements to get me work after I had dropped off the car. By replacing only the faulty parts of my exhaust system, he saved me from some extremely costly repairs.I hope to never have an issue like this again, but if I do, I will certainly go back to Bob.Service: Exhaust

I brought my car in at 8am with an unknown exhaust problem (I hit a deer a few days earlier and needed ear protection to drive it). He identified the problem and gave me a quote in less than an hour. I was able to get my car back with a new converter before lunch. Great service quickly for fair prices. Would definitely recommend Bob's to anyone with an exhaust issue.Service: Exhaust

Bob rocks!I have an older Acura TSX that couldn t pass inspection due to corrosion leaks in the muffler assembly and catalytic converter. After Bob replaced some parts and welded others, I ended up with a healed car that passed inspection and cost me about one-tenth of the dealership s estimate. Bob is incredibly efficient, affordable, and an all-round nice guy who genuinely seems to care about his customers. Thank you, Bob!Service: Exhaust
