Welded a O2 bung on my exhaust for $50 bucks. Even included a plug for it so it won't leak Good customer service and welder, I would definitely recommend if you need exhaust work done to your car

Called this place for some extensive exhaust repair on a V8 Ford. They had top-tier customer service from start to finish and very good pricing. Barbee's team installed new converters and muffler in a short period of time without sacrificing quality of work, and ensured my O2 sensors were clean and working properly. In addition, they helped investigate some other items that I had questions about with the vehicle. All the techs and staff that I dealt with were very professional. Its rare in this day and age to be impressed, but these guys knocked it out of the park from the first call to the end until I was satisfied. I will be a returning customer and highly recommend them.

Huge thanks to the team at Barbee mufflers! I had needed my converter done for a while, these guys were fast and professional. Had me in and out in the same morning! I also got a detail done, and it came out amazing. I have a dog and a 5 yr old, and was not expecting the immaculate job they did. Not one single hair or crumb in the vehicle! The owner of the business even hopped in at the end to buff my hood out because he was not satisfied. This just goes to show you the level of standards this shop has. The staff was extremely friendly. I had my 5 yr old daughter with me and they were so nice to her and even hooked her up with snacks and movies! Take it from me,, if you need work go to Barbee mufflers. Amazing place.BONUS: They restored my headlights to their original glory, now my family can feel safe again when we drive at night.Thank you Barbee mufflers!

Top notch place - great price - quality work- excellent customer service. I had the brakes done on my 2011 Tacoma. The price was right and they provided a very quick turnaound. When the job was done - the owner ( James ) took time out to explain everything that was done and make sure I understood and answer any questions that I had. Family owned - and very honest people. I will be back for all my auto repair needs.

Please do not hesitate to use this mechanic the guy with the dreads not sure of his name was amazing at meeting my needs . I had a catalytic converter changed here because no one else would touch it since it was welded ..my car runs so good now !!!!! These guys know what they are doing and I can tell they are honest mechanics and their prices are fair. They are very attentive and will always call you back!!!! Also if you have anything after market or custom these are they guys who will not turn you away . I definitely recommend them to anyone in need of any service .Just ask if they can do it !!!!!!Keep up the good work Barbee!!!!!

I ve taken 3 of my cars to get work done at Barbee and each time I ve been greeted with a smile and a will get it done attitude from Brandon. I cannot say enough good things about this shop as each time they have fixed my issues promptly and at a competitive price. Granted I ve only gotten exhaust work done here and can t speak for their main shop, however if they operate anywhere close to how Brandon runs the muffler side of things, I would not hesitate at all to bring any of my cars to get fixed from them. Not to mention you can pass time by taking a look at their constantly changing for sale inventory.I will say if you re looking to get work done, either get there early or prepare to drop your car off for a couple hours as they are rapidly growing in popularity and can sometimes have extended wait times do to how many cars they are working on. I ve been a 2-3 year long customer of Barbee and will not hesitate to go back for future work.

I had a good experience the first time but the second time was horrible. I used them before going out of state to fix a headlight, charged me $60 for a headlight bulb that didn t even work and made me wait around for over 2 hours just so I could drive with a headlight out anyways. Got another guy to do it for 1/3 the price and didn t mess up. Don t waste your time and money here

Took my ram here because of a motor issue. Was told bank 1&2 was shot, they recommended we replace the whole motor. Which we agreed too. I was told it would be ready in about 1-2 weeks but shouldn't pass the first week. It actually took about 1 month on just receiving the motor. Then another week to be ready for pick up. When picking up we were told to come back for the oil change when reaching 1thousand miles.. when those miles were reached I called and was told the oil change wasn't included and I would have to pay for that separate. Come this time I started having misfire, I changed my spark plugs yesterday well the spark plugs from my old motor were put in the new one. I called this morning to let them know, and I was basically told that it was $300 in fluids (what ever the truck needed) $1400 in labor . The grand total I paid was $7,300. Not complaining about the price. I understand things take time and some stuff Is out of our control. But also the lack of customer service and lack of communication is my biggest deal.

Prices have gone up since last time i went to get a catalytic converter, so be ready for that. I asked them to take a picture of my installment to be able to check on the welding work , i sent it to my father who is also a professional mechanic and he said that the installment of my catalytic converter was very well done. So I do recommend them , they communicated with me throughout the whole process. Very happy with the service.

I own a limo company where my vehicles need to be running in tip top shape. I had an exhaust issue before a limo run at night. These guys got me in and fixed up in no time! Every other company wouldn't even look at my issue when I said "limo". Not these guys! Real pros! I will keep bringing my limos here for all their maintenance.

Service was top notch all the way around. Would recommend to anyone needing quality exhaust work. My catback was installed quickly & with great precision. James made sure everything was lined up perfectly. 5 stars!

James the owner and Brandon are great guys with super reasonable prices. I needed a full exhaust with a Y pipe, Cat and muffler. They only charge me 440 and they have a full lifetime warranty on welds. Will definitely go back for any other things in the future.

They spent 3 weeks to fix a car every time I went they told me it was fixed and I still had the same problem, I spent $600 for something they didn't fix and they wanted me to keep paying to find the problem, they don't know how to work and they don't give you your money back. If you don't want to waste time and money, don't go there.

Couldn't be happier with the service I received from Brandon and his team. Whether it was on the phone or in person everyone was solid. I dropped my car off on Saturday for no A/C and within an hour had the diagnosis for the issue and they pointed out a couple of other things to be aware of. Dropped the car off this morning and it was finished within 3 hours! As far as price I am happy. They provided a great service at a fair market rate. And I will be back. btw...A/C blows colder than it ever did!

Drop in visit to figure out a rattling on my exhaust, they fit me in and had the issue diagnosed and fixed within a half hour. It was a simple fix and they were very friendly, and so far a week out the issue has not recurred.

On Monday the 19th I took my van to a different muffler shop. Dropped it off at 8:30 am and by 4pm they still had not looked at my van. I own an A/C Company and that made me waste an entire day for nothing. I called Barbee Mufflers. They told me I would be taken care of. I drove up at 9am, Tuesday morning. I had a quote by 9:20am. The job was completed before 2pm. They would have finished sooner but they had to wait on my exhaust manifold to be delivered by the parts guy. 2+ hour wait. I think the price was fair. IF, IF I did pay more, it was worth it due to the exceptional and timely service I need to get my van back on the road. I am glad I found these guys. Ask for James or Brandon!

Don't lie, what they offered me was to go and change the injectors myself, your problem is that you change parts without knowing and the cars continue to have problems and they want you to continue spending money, they justify that the warranty is on the parts they changed and Not the original problem with the car, they are lying, they say that the work is done and after you pay, the problems continue, they do not return money, they require you to pay more to continue, bad treatment and costumer service and from what I see in their reviews, it has happened same with other costumer.

When I installed my own equal length header and up pipe on my Subaru, I did not have the proper tools to fully seal my parts. Barbee took my vehicle in on a walk in at the end of their day, and had a very fair quote for me the next morning. By the end of that day, my exhaust was fully sealed with new gaskets, they had replaced my oil filter with a new unit that allowed a better fit, and accommodated a vehicle pick up after business hours when I could not make it by close. An excellent business with high quality work for a very fair price and timeframe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance

Highly recommend!! I was dealing with a Buick dealership that not only was overcharging me, but was misdiagnosing my car. Barbee Auto not only is charging me a fraction of the price, but their customer service and ability to fix my car are amazing!!

I was recommended Barbee by a few people who had worked with them with their exhausts. I had just bought a new to me vehicle and needed a simple weld done to an exhaust bracket. Brandon quickly got me in and out and made it an easy process. The dealership I purchased my vehicle from was covering the bill and Brandon made the process so easy. It can be tough to find shops that are genuine and have integrity, Barbee 100% meets that and shows great care for their customers. They have won me as a customer moving forward. Highly recommend!!Service: Exhaust

These are the worst people to deal with, do not deal with them ever. I left my truck with them so that they could change a part for me and they lied to him. I paid them 1400$, and after four days the truck broke down with me again, and I took it to another mechanic, and he told me that these people installed a part for me for $60. U and I have all the evidence and the court went and filed a case against them .

I have been getting my car serviced through Barbee auto for about nine years now and I have never had one bad thing or one issue after getting my vehicle back. The customer service is top notch and I like most about this is it s a family owned and operated business.They re not just honest, they work hard and they make sure they do the best job that they re able to do when it comes to fixing my vehicles.I would give 10 out of 10 but unfortunately Google only lets me at 5 out of 5.I highly recommend the shop to anyone that s looking for any car work looking to purchase a car are looking to get aftermarket exhaust but other vehicles or just basic maintenance. Service: General repairs & maintenance
