I took my truck there cause it was leaking water, I was told nothing was wrong with it, they did a pressure check and told me to come back next week to re check it, I took it back and all of a sudden it was the water pump, he install a new one a week later I was still doing the same thing, I took back and they said it was normal. Took it to another mechanic and he found a hole on the radiator, now my truck's fine. They just got me for my money... well I got a new water pump! I'm not talking about Steven. read more

Stephen was quick, friendly, and affordable! Did my cat converter within 2 hrs. I'll go to him for any car troubles.

This may be the most honest businessman I have ever met. While out of town, I left my car with a hotel valet. When I got it back, my muffler was making noise (not terrible, but definitely something had changed). When I got back in town, I found A&B (Steve). He welcomed me right in, quickly identified the problem and made the repair (welded a hole). He let me stand nearby to see what he was doing. 15 minutes later, everything done! I asked how much. He said $30. Any other muffler shop would have you wait in the lobby, perform the same repair and charge you probably $100 (or more). I told Steve to hit my card for $50. He actually started arguing (nicely) with me. Finally, he relented. Want a repair shop that will fix your car and charge an honest amount? Go to A&B Muffler (Steve. read more

Stephen was quick and did a great job repairing my exhaust. His prices are very reasonable and his work was much above and beyond.

Steve was extremely knowledgeable about catalytic converters and corrected my issue pretty quickly. I have recommended his several times and will continue to send more business his way. There needs to be more independently owned shops like A & B. read more

Not worried about a customer who paid a tow to get there waiting all day long and no service never go back to this place again

May 2023 entering a refund dispute with A & B Mufflers. The catalytic converters they put on failed - within the warranty period. They started rattling, so I brought them into two non-related mechanic shops. Six mechanics in these two different shops know they were rattling when I brought them in. Both shops and all mechanics said the cats had failed. I contacted AB who said they'd refund me. Once I arrived in person with the cats I was refused a refund, because the cats rattled. That's why I had them replaced! They are refusing to refund me, so I'll dispute the charge. FYI per anyone looking for a shop with reputable practices and proficient mechanical work. read more

Poor Customer Service. It's just a waste of time going there had a bad experience personally.

Walked in and the diagnosed my problem, had the part and did an excellent repair for a great value! I appreciate the great customer service! read more

My catalytic converter was stolen on a Friday night, and I discovered it the next morning. I was visiting Dallas and had to head back home that day, so I needed my truck drivable ASAP. On the advice from a relative, I called A & B. They had a CC in stock and installed it right away. Within a couple of hours, I was cruising down I-20. read more

Had a cover to my muffler rattling around, got my car in quick and Stephen welded it back in a hot minute! I even brought my dog in the waiting room, and my car got on a lift, quick! And since the repair was pretty small, he didn't even charge! read more

Excellent brake maintenance! No frills shop but budget friendly.

I rarely need muffler work but when I do I go straight to A&B mufflers on pipeline. I've been going there for many many years decades even! Steve, the owner is always happy to meet you and is concerned about your problems even if it isn't mufflers he will try to help you. If he can't, he knows the right places in town to get the job done at a fair price. read more

A & B Mufflers - Auto Repair Near Me - Hurst, Texas

These guys are actually too good to be true. They fixed my muffler, catalytic converter, and brakes for maybe 1/10 of the price other places charge. Very good people here. read more

I've taken three of my cars here to this shop over the last four years. I've always been given an honest opinion and a fair price for the repairs to my cars. I highly recommend to check this place out. I have gotten exhaust completed here as well, very solid welds on the exhaust. Justin always does great work with great service extended to the customer. read more

Great service and really great prices. I've moved from the area and drive the extra distance because I trust them.

Steve (owner) is great and I am a big fan of this shop. I needed a special order Magnaflow 12909 muffler for my 2018 GMC Sierra with the 6.2L engine and Steve got it in same day. I called him in the morning and it was delivered just after lunch. I drive right over there, get it in the bay on the lift and he has it installed himself in less than 30 minutes. Pricing is very fair as well and Steve is very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back for future vehicle needs. read more

Great muffler shop and Steve was friendly, fair, and an honest business man. He charged much less than other shops for a catalytic converter, and didn't find any "extra" things to charge for. He also got the work done a day earlier than what was quoted, which happened to be the day we took my vehicle in. read more

Peter is one of the best mechanics in town . He is always fair on price and always does what he says he will do . Never a surprise when you deal with them . Kinney's automotive down the road from them wanted twice what Peter charged me to do the same job . read more

Thieves stole my catalytic converter overnight. Desperate for a repair, I found A & B muffler. Stephen was awesome. Quick, courteous, and affordable. Couldn't ask for better service. read more

This place is so awesome. My husband had installed a side rails on our Jeep and part of it needed grinding down because it was rubbing. We offered to pay him for his time and electricity for the grinder but he refused my husband insisted but he closed the door and said no. If we ever need muffler work we will drive to Dallas and have him do the work as we live in Houston. read more

This is the fourth job these guys have done for me and my wife and son took care of it. The son's car has the O2 sensor in the tail pipe, nots the exhaust manifold. A crack developed t the O2 sensor and the exhaust pipe broke at that point. I told the wife we would pay up to $200, which she told the shop! Final price? $60, not $199. These guys are good. read more

Great guys! I've had my car serviced here a few times and Peter is fantastic. I send everyone I know here. They are honest, fast, and affordable. read more

Was given the price over the phone. Was the exact price I was charged. Owner took me under my pickup and showed me what was wrong. Was going to cost me 1200 bucks through a big time service shop. Ended up only costing me 400. Asked how long it took on the phone, I was told about an hour. I was there maybe 50 mins. Great place. Great and friendly service I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're wondering if this is a place you should go, it is... and you're welcome! read more

They did a good job with the repair. Called in the morning, took the car in immediately and fixed the muffler for a fair price very quickly and efficiently. We were very pleased with the fast service received here. read more

They gave me a fair price for an exhaust leak fix so I left my truck for repair. An hour after I dropped off my vehicle I received a call saying that they didn't estimate properly and it was going to cost over 3 times the initial esitmate because there was a lot more work involved. They were still able to complete this job in the half-day they originally quoted me, yet the labor costs were 3 times more. (Only parts related costs involved were a gasket and 2 bolts). They did a good job, but I will not be returning because of their inability to estimate within 300% of the original price. read more

I took a Lexus sc400 into Steven's shop when I had problems with brakes and power steering. I told him this was my late father's car and it had been sitting and I was not sure if power steering fluid had coagulated or if there was a power steering pump problem. I asked him for a high price estimate to fix power steering pump replacement and to change pads and rotors and he told me about $300-350. We both understood that he would need to check the car out further to get exact costs and he assured me he would contact me before working on the car. I told him this was my late father's car and I was selling it and did not want to invest a large amount of money in a car that I was not planning on keeping. I had already gotten an estimate from a service station across the street from his garage for $150 (rotors and pads for all four wheels) I told him brake pedal went all the way to floor and I assumed there may be more to fix problem than just rotors and pads. Without ever receiving a call from Steven outlining the problems he had found he decided to put brake pads, rotor and calipers on the back wheels only and put on a serpentine belt. I did not need a power steering pump at all. According to him the serpentine belt was the cause of power steering problem. So, without any notification of price or any phone call to let me know what the actual problems were, he decides to put on the belt and replace back brake pads, rotor and caliper. He then charges me $440 and threatens to keep car if I do not pay him. But the lack of phone call is not even the worst part of this. Even though he took it upon himself to do the work I mentioned above he did not fix the main problem with the brakes at all. The brake pedal still goes all the way to the floor board making it impossible to stop car safely. This is because the car needed brake booster replaced. The estimates I have received on fixing this problem is another $450. So, because Steven decided to half way fix the brakes and do additional work I am stuck paying about $1000 dollars that I am not keeping and has too many miles to make the money back on these repairs. He knew all this and knew exactly what he was doing. He knew I would tell him that I would not want to repair car at all before selling. When I confronted him about the lack of phone call and actual pricing he became belligerent (yelling and pacing the floor in uncontrolled unprofessional manner) After paying Steven to get my car away from him, he points out that if I do not like what he did then I should take him to small claims court. Even though, we all know what a hassle that is going to be he has left me no recourse. I would not trust the positive reviews that can be so easily manipulated because I would be amazed if this the first time he has treated his customers this way. read more

I've used A & B at this Hurst location for over 10 years now and finally decided I should speak up and let everybody know what those of us who have experienced Stephen Riley's car services, know about how good it is. No, I'm not talking about the building or the waiting room. Those would only get 1-2 stars. But those are not the most important thing to me when I'm getting my car worked on. It's the service I'm provided and the cost. It's in those two areas that A & B excels and why I give 5 stars. First of all, I've never had to take my car back to them for any reason...they have always fixed it right the first time. Secondly, on more than one occasion I've been shocked when I get my bill. Not because it's so large, but because it's so small. I realize that is not something most of us are accustomed to when we're dealing with automobile service on our vehichles, but I'm not kidding. I'll just used today's example. We finally took my 00 Ford Windstar into the shop, as it's fuel pump has been causing trouble off and on for about 3 years now (hey, it's 13 years old and has 186k). We first checked with Pep Boys and they wanted $600+ to replace the pump (part and 3 hours labor). To add the fuel filter was going to cost me extra. On the other hand, my bill from A & B today?...$400.00. And Stephen even included the labor for the fuel filter. That was $200 labor and $200 for a complete new fuel pump assembly and the new filter. That's what I'm talking about! Shocking prices and service (in a GOOD way!). As I said, the same thing has happened to me before when he performed a complete brake job. Which by the way, I've had my brakes and mufflers replaced on many cars throughout the years and nobody does it better (although many do it much more expensively). I'm not sure when, but at least over the last several years they began doing other work besides brakes and mufflers, which is why I took my fuel pump issue to them. He told me they now do all types of work except transmissions. So there you have it. If you think I'm just pulling your leg, just do what I did. Call a couple of places and get an estimate, then call Stephen at A & B and ask him for an estimate. Surprise! :) By the way, you'll know if he answers the phone...he's a South African native and his accent will give him away. read more
