After reading the previous reviews I was reluctant to acquire the services of FAS. However, everyone has a bad day at some point. Sometimes people take their frustration out on others and use the convenience of social media to voice their bias and discredit small businesses. Nonetheless, I gave it a chance and I was extremely impressed. I took my completely custom G35 Coupe there for flex pipe replacements and a muffler upgrade. Watched him through the whole process and he showed me everything that was wrong. He did not pressure me to anything outrageous. He only recommended what would take the Check Engine light off, as we all love to hate to see in a nice ride. My repairs were very reasonable and he gave me a quote on my other vehicles. By far the cheapest I have ever experienced in my 10 years of modifying cars while living in this area. I will most definitely be going back soon. Military appreciative and rewarding!

This guy is a joke. He install exhaust on my truck. Put the wrong muffler on. And The exhaust is leaning against my shocks so my shocks is not working properly in the back are you serious. He blocked my number so he won't have to fix the problem. You say you've been in business for 28 years I can't tell. Please don't drop your vehicle off at this place if you do you better watch them work on it. Is the worst ever.Service: Exhaust

This is a review on the owner's professionalism and not his work because we didn't get that far. I spoke to the owner about bringing my truck in for a state inspection. He says I can bring it in the next day and it'll be done within an hour no problem. I show up at 10 the next day like we discussed and the doors are closed. I tried to talk to him through the envelope hole but he says "we are closed, I'm catching up on yesterday's work." I can't even explain I'm the guy from the day before because he keeps on working on the far side of the garage like I'm not even there. Total waste of my drive and day off I requested from work.

First time customer at FAS Muffler & Tire. Had muffler replaced on 99 F-150 in dual exhaust previously installed. Great job! Very neat. Looked like factory job. I was more impressed with the price. Extremely reasonable.

Fantastic work. Only true muffler shop in the area and he did not disappoint. My mechanic wanted $800 for parts and labor for my muffler repair , FAS took care of everything for less than $200. Fast service, polite, respectful, quality work. Zero issues in almost 2 weeks and my car has never sounded better. 5 stars.

I found this business online and spoke with Frank about having an exhaust manifold gasket installed on my 1998 Dodge Dakota pickup. That same day, Bryan and I agreed on a price to have the work done. Bryan completed the work for the price quoted the next day. I am very satisfied with work. I highly recommend Fas Muffler & Tire Auto for anyone needing -fast-custom exhaust work.I went back to Frank to set up appointment to have my custom exhaust on my 1998 Dodge pickup Dakota. Frank install them in about four hours time. which he did a really nice job on them I will highly recommend him to anyone to have custom exhaust work done. 5/18/17

Went to see Frank at 10:30am with a broken tailpipe/muffler. Explained I was disabled and had only one car. He looked at my car and told me to returnat 1:00pm and he would get me in. He quoted me $80.00 for the work. I returned at 1:00 and at 1:07 he took my keys and began work. At 2:07 he was finished fabricating a repair and my bill was just what he said. I'll be back!!.Was impressed by work and didn't have to sit through any sales pitches for work I didn't need.Great place!!

I found and tried Mr Snellings by reading reviews . I found him to be very capable exhaust mechanic. He solved my exhaust problem quickly and reasonable. I will go back when I need him.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Brought in my 67 Chevy Camaro to get a pair of tail pipes built, already had purchased the x pipe and mufflers from amazon. I was first quoted $150 for the job by Franks technician and then when Frank (the owner) finally showed up to his shop 2 hours later he gave me a quote of $200 for the job.Showed up the next morning with the car. Said that I would have to wait until 4 PM. Frank proceeded to leave the garage and have his technician handle the job. A couple hours had gone by and all that had been done to my car were the mufflers welded into my pipes. This was the first issue that I had with them, as before they started the job I had asked that exhaust clamps be used so if I decided to change out the mufflers at any point I wouldn't have to cut them off.Didn't really make it to big of an issue as I have the tools at home to take them off if needed later on. Franks technician proceeded to try and bend the pipes to make the tail pipes and went through about 6 or 7 bars of 6 ft. 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes trying to make the right angles.During this time a few other customers had come in to get an inspection and were unable to get it done because Frank is the only one with an inspection license. His technician was very rude to them and told them basically to get lost. During this time managed he also managed to cut and gouge my new mufflers and cut about 3 inches of my new chrome exhaust tips.After I checked my watch it was about 2PM and I was heated because nothing had really been done and his technician was clearly under qualified for the task at hand. He proceeded to call Frank and I was told that I can either leave the car there or pay for what had been done so far. I asked them to drop my car of the lift and I will take my business elsewhere.The owner clearly does not manage his business like he should and I would warn anyone from ever going here to get any exhaust work done, or any work done just because of their attitude. Very rude and Unprofessional

Great experience at FAS! Frank was very helpful and able to install the new muffler and tailpipe same day. His quote was literally half the price of another shop. I highly recommend this business!

I have a Mercedes where the exhaust coupling corroded and came apart. Frank was able to cut the ends off and weld the halves together with a new sleeve insert, saving me the cost of replacing the whole exhaust system. He did this and welded on a new hangar for $125. I highly recommend FAS Muffler for excellent work and great value!

I had several things needed to be done on my vehicle in order to pass Va inspection. Frank and team were great to work with and took care of everything within my budget. The exhaust welds were some of the best i've ever seen. Dennis was professional and kept in touch while the team brought my vehicle back to life.

Frank the owner of FAS, is the man. I've been coming to him for years and he has seriously never once disappointed. He is the #1 exhaust guy in Fredericksburg in my opinion, and I would recommend anyone to him without hesitation. He's one of the very few in town I trust with my car.

Don't go here. They try to get away with stuff that isn't right and isn't legal because they are lazy. I got a cat back exhaust on my 97 integra and the guy put the mid pipe section on upside down so it didn't fit the catalytic converter. Instead of customizing the exhaust he turned the convert upside down leaving the o2 sensor exposed to getting hit when I go over a speed bump. Not only was it on upside down he didn't put spring bolts on nor put gaskets in. You are a exhaust shop you have the tools to properly fit it to my car. Just lazy. Sure enough on the speed bump leaving the place I knocked out the 100 dollar sensor the check engine light came on. They refuse to take credibility for their mistakes. Take you car anywhere else but here! The owner frank is not a professional guy, the way he was talking all sorts of crazy totally unprofessional.

This place is TERRIBLE. The owner Frank is the biggest jerk I've ever met. I dropped off my truck o a friday with promise to have work completed by saturday afternoon, I was just getting a spot weld done on my exhaust that failed inspection. Saturday afternoon rolls around and I hear nothing so I call in and they had seemingly mistaken my truck for another who wanted duals, my truck already had duals on it so this was a ridiculous mistake to begin with. The owner Frank said he wished someone left a note and that he would call me back in a few minutes. I never heard back that entire day. I called and called and got nothing. I went up there only to find the place locked up early, but the bay door was open to I walked in and shouted until his assistant mechanic Charles came out from a back room. He told me he believed they mixed up my truck with another and that he promised to fix it and call me first thing sunday morning. Sunday morning, no response. I had praise team instrument in the back seats of my truck as I am a youth pastor locally. I looked completely incompetent at my job Sunday Morning. I called all day sunday and went by, no answer, no one there. Monday rolls around I continue to call all day and drove by, no one there. I eventually had to call the Spotsylvania county Sheriffs office to try and resolve the matter. I finally went up there again Tuesday morning after looking foolish at one job on Sunday and having to call out two days in a row monday and tuesday. Frank was still not around but his assistant charles was. I asked him to call Frank, which he did. I got on the phone and the assistant mentioned to him that I had called the sherriffs after I called 26 times and went uo there 4 times over a 4 day period with no response. Frank got on the phone and cussed me up and down for "Threatening" him with cops and told me it would be $125 to fix the weld and I can get it at noon Tuesday,he then hung up. The original price agreed on was $75. I ended up having to contact Deputy Drewry again over the issue and was relayed to the Sergeant in order to have a deputy remove my vehicle with me. Before this happened I got another call where Frank cussed me up and down and hung up. I went back up there and spoke with Charles the mechanic he apologized saying he didnt know why his boss was such a jerk and that he just started there and he didnt realize it was like this. Frank was there this time but upstairs, I asked Charles if Frank would come down to speak with me please. Charles went up and came bak saying "Frank said he has nothing to say to you". I repeatedly told Charles this was absurd I have yet to even get a chance to speak a word to the man before he hangs up and now he wont even address me to my face? I had Charles try and retrieve frank again and he again refused to come down. Ultimately I had him fix the pipes, he still charged me full price and then he didnt put on my exhaust tips and said I need to come back next week. This place is a joke of a business and has a rude, loud mouth jerk for an owner. I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau as well as taking the advice of the Spotsy County Sergeant and taking him to court for wages lost. He couldn't even as much as call me to let me know my truck wouldn't be ready that Saturday. I went 4 1/2 days with no vehicle and no contact or response whatsoever. Had to involve police and courts and still was ripped off with poor quality work. I had to even make the mechanic get me invoices showing my 1 year warranty and for me to come bak and get my exhaust tips, Frank apparently thought I would actually leave there with no documentation stating he owed me these things. He is a swindler and a con and no one should EVER EVER GO HERE!!!!!!!!!.

Horrible. Call to make an appointment Friday explaining my situation. Tells me to be there at 9, and he would take care of what I needed. Showed up at 8:30, he s no where to be found. Waits til 9:30 to tell the shop next to him that he wasn t working today, so they could tell me snd the other person waiting.
