George is the BEST!!! Took my 18 year old Honda Odyssey in for check engine / VSA lights. Diagnosed the problem immediately and replaced the catalytic converter in 3 hours. Runs like brand new and at an extremely reasonable price. It's very rare these days to encounter a technician who knows his profession and delivers on the things he promises. TEN STARS for George and Antelope Valley Muffler & Auto Repair read more

Quoted $99 for muffler install. Arrived at shop and was told $125 because "chevy's are different " and had "wrong" aftermarket muffler when all car info was verified over phone. ..lol. Clowns. Went to Alex's mufflers and couldn't be happier. Had same muffler installed with no problems because it was a Chevy Definitely recommend Alex's mufflers. Stay away from these clowns. read more

Gorge is fantastic. Replaced my catalytic converter on my Motorhome. He was extremely helpful in finding a California compliant converter and completed the install is less than 2 hours. read more

$70 test and $40 retest!  But, don't express your frustration for their unfair prices and SLOW TESTING or they will try to cheat you more. They shorted me $10 on the change for my retest, after tossing my receipt onto the floor! I had to go back a 3rd time and confront them in front of other customers to get that back. I've never had such a terrible experience getting my vehicle smogged, and the reason it didn't pass at first was because it's computer simply wasn't ready for testing, no codes or errors. Managed to work that out of the guy after he claimed it was "throwing codes." I would not recommend this business to anyone. read more

My catalytic converter was stolen, they ended up cutting it starting from the flex pipe that come down from the headers. I bought all new parts, catalytic converter, flex pipe and oxygen sensor that goes into catalytic. I called and GEORGE was able to answer all questions and when I got there he immediately started working on it. Gave me a solid price. When he saw that I needed a specific gasket that he did not have and I would have needed to wait for, he was able to just weld the pieces together. I thought it would take much longer when he said that to me but he did everything so quick and did a great job, and even then still kept the low price he gave me at first not knowing he would have to do the extra work. I offered him more , he said "I keep same price for you brother, I tell you price I give to you that price." Overall definitely recommend av muffler to anyone ! read more

My car needed new Catalytic converters, I took it to AV muffler and repair to have them replace on a recommendation from my boyfriend who had taken his car there to have his catalytic converters done the previous month George gave us a good deal BUT one week after he did my boyfriends car one if the catalytic converters started to rattle and my car had never had the problem of miss fires till after George had replaced the catalytic converters on my car he refused to replaced them again saying that it was the miss fire that was causing the catalytic converters to go bad read more

Went to A V Muffler & Auto Repair to look into a check engine light on our Volkswagen Passat. We originally took the car to the Volkswagen dealership to diagnose the problem and they suspected the mass air flow sensor. They quoted $600 to replace the mass air flow sensor which is about a 200% mark up on what the job should cost. George at A V Muffler & Auto Repair was great to deal with. He diagnosed the check engine light to make sure that the mass air flow sensor was the culprit, replaced the part, and then thoroughly rechecked the system to make sure that the problem was fixed. When we got there to pick up the car, he took the time to show us the part that he replaced and the ODBII readout that verified his repair. He also told us that the work was warrantied for 3 months. In total, the cost was very reasonable and I felt that we received honest service. My experience with A V Muffler & Auto Repair was easily the best I've had at an auto repair shop. I would echo the other reviewer's comments that they do great work at a great price. read more

Went in ahead of time guy quoted me a price of $69 for smog. I was on the phone When he ran my card. He charged me $90 dollars. I called and explained it to them. But I let them keep the $20 cause I will never let any of my friends or family go there. read more

A V Muffler & Auto Repair - Not a long wait - Auto Repair Near Me - Lancaster, California

I went to pepboys first for a loud exhaust it took them five hours and I got an estimate of $400 for the repair. Even with their online coupons. I could tell I was getting ripped off. After calling around and getting prices I found AV Muffler & Auto repair. They took a second look at it and found it was a much simpler problem then what pepboys had said. And they figured it out within 10 minutes. The problem was fixed and the repair has fixed my gas mileage as well as the loud muffler. And for a quarter of the price! I highly recommend! They were polite and quick and they were able to fully explain what the problem was so that I could understand it, and I'm not car-literate at all. They even offered to give me a ride home since I had to leave it for a couple hours. Great all around. I'll definitely come to them first in the future. read more

There is wrong with this picture I just called asking how much for brakes and rotors to be turn the price he give me was $750.00. Yes I am a women but not stupid $750 that is crazy dealership charging $260 I found another place for $170. So what is he trying to pull my leg or my toe. read more

I drove with no appointment, waited 1/2 hr to finish a car on the rack and they took in my 98 Jeep Wrangler with a bad muffler. They quoted me a price of $150 parts and labor for a good quality FlowMaster muffler. Quick install and I was on my way. Friendly courteous people always smiling showing utmost respect to all customers. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

Had another shop in Palmdale tell me it would 6 to 9 hundred to get my car passable for smog. My Dad told me to take my car here. Dropped it off here early and when I got off work it was repaired and had passed smog. George even waited 20 minutes after closing for me to pick it up. Only $225!!!!! read more

I was given an estimate by Pep Boys to repair my rear brakes for $1000. I said no thank you. A friend recommended AV Muffler & Auto Repair. She said they are honest and fairly priced. She was right! They did a great job and the repair was just under $300. Great work! Great price! Honest people! read more

This place is amazing! They have restored my faith in auto shops. Fair pricing no secret add ons no surprises. They are extremely fast and get it done right. Best of all they are honest. They do everything not just smog and muffler therefore I will not hesitate to go to them for all my car needs. I can not express how pleasant my experience was. read more

I feel that I was hustled although I did get my problem fixed they have workers who could not find the problem in the beginning. I changed the belt the first time and the nosie was still there I changed the pulleys the second in the problem was still there came again and it was the belt I bought so they got another one.. check twice think twice before you buy your own parts read more

These guys are fast and efficient. Started working on my cap before they had part. The cost $75 less from my normal mechanic.

George and his guys are by far the best choice for a mechanic in the AV. We found him on a whim a couple years ago and he has consistently been honest and very reasonable. He will never up sell you on anything. If you don't need it right now, not to worry, next time. We really recommend going here :-) read more

They suck. Had a long conversation about what was going on with my truck. I brought it in. They told me to bring it back another day.

Gentlemen were friendly, professional, quick, and thorough. I was pleased with my muffler repair.

I am very happy with the service and customer support at this garage! I called only a few minutes before arriving and they got me right in! I had my brakes and rotors swapped out and they did a great job! They were quick and extremely friendly and helpful! read more

A V muffler shop is awesome! George is friendly and honest. from what I can tell, they are the cheapest place in town. they got my car right in and were done in about an hour. I cant thank George enough for all his help. I can honestly say we have found a new mechanic and I'm telling all my friends about this shop. Thank you again read more

There service was great. The dealership wanted to charge me twice as much and AV Muffler & Auto Repair came through at a better price with quality work. read more

had work done this morning. ETA of 1 hour - gone approximately 50 minutes, good price, good job, good service.

Went to Yelp for a recommendation. Brought my out of state vehicle for a smog test. It failed. They said they need to diagnose the vehicle and have an idea what is wrong. So I left the vehicle. An hour later I was called that it was gonna take this amount $$$ to repair and it will pass the smog. I said go ahead. They also installed my catalytic converter. I recommend this shop and will be back if u feel like your vehicle will fail a smog. They repair it at this shop for a reasonable price. Only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because there are cheaper smog test places. Other than that I will be going here from now on. read more

I have trusted the owner and mechanics over the years until my latest repair. I went in for a check engine light which needed me to leave my car at least overnight. It took a couple of days, no problem. I noticed minor damage to a spark plug boot but that was it. The rest of the problems did not get noticed for a few days because the original repair seemed fine and I did not thoroughly check the car over. Problem one I noticed but was prepared for. They leave the cars securely locked and windows up, which in the summer heat caused some older adhesive to fail and the rear window tail light housing fell loose. Like I said, expected it since it was already showing signs. The rest of the problems I noticed when my check engine light came on again. The error code was about a loose spark plug wire. When I lifted the hood I checked the wires and found one spark plug wire loose. Easy fix but I also noticed the oxy sensor wires were laying on the exhaust header and starting to get damaged. Those should have been pulled up out of the way, which I did with a zip tie. The spark plug wires also were not in their holders. I closed the hood and went to get gas and while at the station was going to clean the window when I noticed the trim under the windshield was broken. This piece goes under the hood so I opened the hood and saw the entire assembly was broken in two. I headed to the shop to complain. The mechanic that worked on the car said he did not break it. A couple days later I stopped by to talk to the owner and he tried to blame the sun for the problem. Ok, yes plastic can age in the sun, but this vehicle is garage parked every day and under shade covers most days when at work. Not to mention the part was broken all the way under the hood where the sun does not shine and that part was a jagged irregular break. Before I had headed to see the manager I had another mechanic look at it and asked if he knew how it would have been broken and he flatly stated that breaks in that particular way if someone had leaned on it as a support while under the hood. Due to the way this problem was handled, and the sloppy repair work I will take my business elsewhere from now on and recommend others do as well. read more

Very impressed. i needed a catalytic converter replaced. i brought them the part i ordered and they put it on in about 30 min! $65...very good! saved me hundreds! very nice people and easy. seem like good people. read more

These guys are great! I had a radiator hose replaced by an Oil & Lube joint and they put a shorter hose than required on my car. Pep Boys bought the problem to my attention, and gave me a $250 estimate. Having dealt with them on other issues I chose to get a second opinion. AV changed the hose, gave me a tune-up, transmission service and an oil change for under $300. I was there a couple hours, but they are conveniently located near a Starbucks and several lunch options, so I didn't feel trapped as I so often have while other places worked on my vehicle for hours. I strongly recommend them for service of any kind. read more

WHATEVER YOU DO PLEASE DONT GO HERE! I took my truck to this guy 2 years ago to install some new cat converters because that was the last thing to do to to bring my truck up to par to pass smog and he did pass it no prblems...Ok fast forward to 2 years later i needed to smog my vihicle again but the check engine light was on so he told me i needed to pay 600 to get my gaskets and tubes replaced so it would pass smog..well it didnt so he proceded to tell me he could pass it he just needed to do a full tuning up on it so we leave it to him for a couple of days and finnaly we get a answer back that it did not pass..ok so we dicide to just take our truck cuz at this point we have had enough of the runaround but when were driving home guess what OUR FREAKING TRANNY IS BLOWN! I went strait back and he dinied that it was him and said its a old truck (2002) and those things just happen...so he takes a look at the tranny fluid and hes like oh see your low on fluid its your fault..OMG are you seroise we have had our truck there for days and we paid you ALLOT of money to do a full tuneup and gasket replacement on it which he seemed to allof a sudden forget ( i think hes on drugs)..ok so we go and spend 2000 on a tranny rebuild then take it to to a legit place and guess what they found..the cat converters this guy put 2 years ago not only had holes going strait through them they were not even the right ones for my truck..meaning he put used parts on my truck and passed it ILLIGALY(charged me 500 for that 2 years ago and we all know a good illigal smog only costs 200 lol)which is not what i wanted iwanted it to be fixed right ! Moral of the story is hes a lyer and a crook and i finnaly have my truck smogged and working correctly but it is NO thanks to av muffler. I just wanted to share what happened to me so no one else has to go through what we did. read more

I heard a loud squeaking from my rear brakes. I did not want to drive too far, so I called this place. They agreed to have a look. One of their mechanics took my GMC Sonoma out for a drive to test the brakes. When he came back, he said that he heard nothing. He put it up in the air, and said that the front and back brakes were fine. The owner offered to have the brakes cleaned of dust, as that might stop the squeaking. I also needed the right rear brake light replaced. I had bought a new bulb, but was unable to remove the cover. They cleaned the brakes and replaced the light. I thought that both lights might need to be replaced, but they showed me that only the brake light was bad. They charged me a token for the work, and I was out of there in minutes. Whew! I thought I was going to have to pay for a complete $300 brake job, but thanks to these thorough and honest men, my truck is running silent again. I will be going there for any future work. read more
