Fantastic experience having muffler and exhaust pipe repaired and rehung. Work was quickly and competently performed by Mr. Glenn. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quite reasonable price quote. The neighborhood is a bit dodgy, but being out of the high rent district means cash savings for me! I'm really glad I decided to give this place a try. read more

AAA said that a diagnostic to fix my muffler would cost 75$. Firestone said they would charge about the same amount for a diagnostic. Midas quoted about 150$ minimum to get my car diagnosed and fixed. I got a recommendation from Konrad Automotive that Ace Muffler Shop was trustworthy. I drove my car there; he looked at my car, said he could fix it for 50$; he was done in 10 minutes. Best experience dealing with car issues in my life. read more

Tried to call to explain my situation rudely interrupted me before I could finish explaining my situation to get my catalytic converter replaced. Thinking I was taking the cats off when all I needed was my catalytic converter replaced. Kept hanging up on me after I tried to call back to explain but still would not listen to me. How can someone be so stubborn to not listen. I already have the new OEM Catalytic Converter but I guess they can't do it yet there are reviews of them replacing the catalytic converters. Would not recommend this business unfortunately let down because the reviews looked good but that customer service was not good at all. read more

I brought my car in for a repair estimate thinking someone had tried to steal my converter by prying out the shield underneath the car. Mike put my car up on the lift and said that the shield had simply become unfastened and got bent up over time. He screwed things back on and I was good to go. Tried to give them some cash for their time but they refused. So we chatted for a bit about the weather and then someone else showed up so I left and told them I'd leave a good yelp review, so here I am. Really nice folks. Would trust them with any repair. They are one of the oldest muffler shops in Durham, having been here 30 years, and I guess that's for a reason. Go see them. read more

I watched a customer ahead of me get a custom dual exhaust installed. That took a little while. After he left, I pulled in to get a new muffler installed on my 93 Ford Explorer. Less than 15 minutes later and for only $90 grand total, I was on my way with a MUCH quieter and better performing truck. Courteous service from whom I assume were husband and wife. Very highly recommended. read more

Ace Muffler Shop - Lady inspecting my blown muffler. - Auto Repair Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I had an exhaust leak and needed to find a shop other than a dealership for a repair. I've ran into too many car issues over the past few months to risk being overcharged. This place is great! Any muffler/exhaust issue, this is the place! They show you where the problem is and give you options before they get going on the repair. They do first come first served, so maybe I was lucky the day I came in with only one car ahead of me, but I sure am glad they were able to fix my exhaust leak and get me on my way within a few hours. Only uncomfortable thing about the experience was that there wasn't a real waiting area. There's a chair in the shop right outside the office. If you're waiting while your car is being worked on, I would suggest waiting outside if it's a nice day because it's super loud and the air ain't exactly clear with all the machinery and grinding of metal going on around you. If that doesn't bother you then this is a 5-star facility. overall, good experience and my car is running well read more

Nicest people ever. low prices and they don't overcharge. have been twice and highly recommend. They had me in and out in fifteen minutes for a flex pipe replacement and a hole in an exhaust pipe. Thank you!! read more

My 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 check engine light was on. I took it to a dealership, University Ford, and they said I needed new catalytic converters. Their quote was $500. Actually not a bad price. But I decided to shop around. I called Cross Creek BP on Guess Rd, they quoted $800. Ouch! I drove over to Ace Muffler... They diagnosed my situation. Determined that I only needed ONE catalytic converter, charged me $190, and I was in and out in a half hour. They have been in business for 27 years.... Now I know why. read more

I don't know how it happened, but earlier today I somehow found myself at a Midas asking if they could give me an estimate to fix my noisy muffler. After a whole load of my wasted time, they came back with $1100. I was already checking Ace out on Yelp whilst I was waiting for the nonsense quote, got back in the car went straight over there and was out within about 20mins my wallet a mere $130 lighter. Great, friendly service and most importantly for me, I trusted them. Got a rattle or a noise in your exhaust. Don't waste time at other garages who'll either only rip you off or recommend you check out a muffler shop (and charge you for the privilege). Just drive straight here. Just a note, it's cash only. read more

Love this place. I have been there several times over the years.....oil changes, brakes changed very afforbable

Would recommend to anyone if you don't mind a place that doesn't put a lot in to overhead, but passes the savings on to you!!! I am all for that. They were honest and fair and didn't want to encourage me to put money into a repair if I really didn't need it. I appreciated that very much. They also did the repair on the spot and it didn't take too long. Remember to bring cash since they do not take credit cards (another way they keep costs low!). I would recomend this 100 % read more

This place is amazing! My mechanic told me it would cost me $1000 to repair my exhaust system, but then told me a muffler place could do it much cheaper, for about $200. So they sent me to Ace muffler. They fixed it in 20 minutes for $20! It was the best deal ever! The people who worked there were super nice and helpful. The complaint about there being no waiting room is fair, but didn't bother me at all. I love this place and recommend it to everyone! read more

After a run-in with a yellow barrier in a parking lot, my car starting making a lot of noise. While it was kind of cool that my 14 year old Camry sounded like a hot rod, I decided to get it fixed. Firestone on University Drive looked at it, said the catalytic converter needed replaced, gave us an estimate of $2,250! I took it to Ace, and they fixed it for $90. They did it in the shop, while I waited. The whole process took maybe 15 minutes. Great job! read more

Who are this people???? Don't even try this place, they don't know what they doing, ugly and nasty costumer service, I don't recommended at all. read more

I was in and out in 10 min, my pocket only $30 lighter, whereas the toyota service center was asking for $1900to fix my noisy muffler . I would highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

My 1994 Toyota pickup truck needed a new tail pipe and muffler in order to pass inspection. A simple problem, but the dealership price was $437.45. That led me to research muffler shops and -- based on various reviews -- I chose Ace and am so glad I did! First, the price (parts and labor) came to $135. Second, I was in and out of the shop in approximately 30 minutes (including the time to chat with the friendly and personable owners). This is a no-nonsense, down-to-earth shop that offers great service for a great price. read more
