Thank you for the speedy work, My daughter's truck was rear-ended and the entire exhaust had to be replaced. So fast and amazing work. The truck sounds amazing! Customer service was stellar, we called and asked a few questions as the body shop didn't know the answer, staff was warm and welcoming of our questions. You will have all of our exhaust business from now on!

I have been going to see Jason quite a bit lately between my work truck and my GFs car, sometimes even on short notice, and each time I am met with great customer service. I do NOT normally write reviews as much as I should, but Jason and James went above and beyond when I took my brakes to get replaced, full on new front and back brakes, and when I received the vehicle I noticed a minor issue occurred with the new brakes. So I took the truck back and the team listened to me, took a test drive with me and fixed the issue very promptly with no complaints. Now to me that is a rockstar mechanic shop in my book and I have shopped around trying to find a reliable and trustworthy mechanic. I am happy to say my shopping around days are done and I will be using Salem Exhaust for as long as they are around. If you need a trustworthy mechanic in Salem or Keizer area, then give Jason and his team a shot and they will earn your business 10/10 times. Thank you Jason, James and the team at Salem Exhaust.

I highly recommend Salem Exhaust. From the first phone call I knew I was in good hands. Jason and the team are awesome and did a great job on my 2018 Tacoma s exhaust system. Don t waste time anywhere else. Head straight to Salem Exhaust. Great people always make the difference and Salem Exhaust is no exception! Thank you Damon in SalemService: Exhaust

I can't praise Salem exhaust, Jason enough! He's gone way above and beyond what I was expecting I promise. He's truly of the old world mentally. Jason treats his customers as everyone should, but don't. We are not a number, and Jason shows that in all that he does. Honest, and does NOT GOUGE HIS PRICINGS! He does not do anything more than he tells you needs to be done, (at least not without letting you know before hand, and getting the go-ahead from you first.) He is very patient and understanding, definitely willing to work with you. Salem Exhaust also does full pre-purchase vehicle inspections. So if you are thinking about getting a used vehicle or even a new vehicle, take it to Jason at Salem exhaust first oh, let him check it out and put your mind at ease one way or another.

Jason and his team are the best! Issues are clearly explained, questions are answered, and the work is done promptly, professionally, and cost-effectively. I recommend Salem Exhaust with no reservations and can not speak highly enough of them.

Jason and his team did a great job rerouting my muffler. Jason is very direct and can seem pushy but he knows his stuff and wants to make sure the job is done right. He also knew my budget and even though it took longer than expected stuck to his word and charged me what he said. Go here only if you want the best quality work and the job done right the first time!

One of the earlier reviews posted "restored my faith in humanity" and I couldn't agree more. Jason is direct, thorough, professional, educational, without any BS. These attributes are rare in car repair. The dealership diagnosed a problem with my car and wanted $3100 to repair. I brought it to Jason, he explained the issue with my vehicle is a symptom of another problem. He took his time to determine cause, completed small repairs, test drove the car between repairs to detect improvement and finally replaced the clogged catalytic converter at 1/3 the cost of what the dealership quoted. Plus, my car is repaired in one day. Hallelujah!Finally, know this --> the man is BUSY with customers going in/out as well as training a new office clerk today. He was patient, calm, cool, and collected, while maintaining a sense of humor and urgency. He simply personified excellence. Where do we see this in the car service industry or anywhere? Jason, owner of Salem Exhaust & Automotive, is a unicorn.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

I have used Salem Exhaust over the years for several projects. Jason and his crew have been courteous and helpful. Labor costs and materials have been more than fair. Recently while getting some tube bent Jason said he has invested in a new refrigerant recovery system for R134A. It is still the standard on vehicles more than a few years old and Jason is ready to help with your AC needs. I highly recommend Salem Exhaust & Automotive.Services: Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair

The passenger tailpipe on my mustang was rubbing on my passenger tire, therefore I needed to get it slightly modified to clear it. Went in without an appointment and the lady at the front end whom was very kind squeezed me in their schedule. Jason and his team are very experienced and they got me in an out within an hour. I highly recommend this business and you can t beat their prices! Definitely will be coming back if I ever need to!Service: Exhaust

I'm sure they do fantastic work, I wouldn't know because I never got that far. Apparently you better bring the part with you because these guys don't keep anything in stock or know how to order. Come on guys, get on the same page and stop wasting people's time. BMS AUTOMOTIVE DID THE SAME WORK AND SAVED ME 500 DOLLARS.

Jason is honest and knows what he's doing. I'm impressed with the work he did on my old Jaguar. High quality, fair prices, and nice guy running the place. Can't ask for more than that. Shop and waiting area super clean, too. I recommend Salem Exhaust without reservation.Update: Have used Salem Exhaust a couple more times, most recently on my Triumph TR6. Great work by Jason and his crewService: Exhaust

They simply restored my faith in humanity. At least for a little while. They really made my day. We re in the process of selling our house and it has been a terrible experience. Messy work on upgrades and people generally trying to take advantage of us. So when I took our old Outback to have a crack in the resonator repaired...I just can t adequately explain how friendly, fast and so far beyond fair they were towards me. I mean, the price was so beyond fair I m not even sure that I should say how fair it actually was. They just made my day. Go to them first!Service: Exhaust

Had great professional service in and out in a timely manner I highly recommend them. The owner Jason is very curtious and explains things very well. Will definitely go back.February 25,2022 I went to Salem exhaust to see if I could have my exhaust pipe welded after someone tried to steal my catalytic converter on my vehicle for the second time. Jason and his staff was able to fit me in their schedule, within about half hour they were finished with my vehicle, I was getting ready to pay for their services when Jason told me that there is no charge I was so bless by his kind and generous offer I really didn't know what to say, but thank you so much especially when I went through the same thing about a month ago. I highly recommend Salem exhaust not just for their kindness but for their excellent work that they do. Thank you once again to Jason and his Wonderful staff. 10 rating from me.Went today Friday 4-29-22, I had an appointment to find out if I had exhaust muffler problem Jason and his crew check my car out and could not find anything wrong, there was no charge for what they did. Jason's shop is one of the best shops around they are very honest and they do excellent work I will always remain a customer there I have never been treated so well, a big thank you to Jason and his crew, your the best.7/20/22 once again brought my vehicle in so that Salem exhaust could repair my catalytic converter because of the stinking thieves have to try and steal things because they are to damn lazy to get a job and earn an income.Good job that Salem exhaust has done again they are very professional at what they do.

Salem Exhaust is a versatile shop operated by Jason. He seems very knowledgeable about his craft and I received excellent customer service!I stopped by with my Audi one day, without an appointment. He was working on another car at the time but told me I could come in the very next day. I knew I just needed a hole to be re-welded but I was surprised how quickly he fixed it and had me on my way.The issue was completely fixed and my car no longer sounds like a tractor when I rev the engine.I will absolutely be taking my cars, and friends cars, to Salem Exhaust in the future.

Jason has worked on both of our cars, including a major job on our Yukon. He is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He explains things in language you can understand, and has extremely fair pricing. I would trust Jason with any car repair I have, I know it will be done right and at a great price, and if he can't do it he will recommend someone he trusts. I am extremely happy with all the work he's done on our cars :)
