I went in for some exhaust work, called and was able to stop by the shop the next morning on Sunday. Got an aftermarket resonator installed and a realignment/extension for my axle-back exhaust. Price was very affordable and reasonable, and the shop is run by a fellow Cambodian who knows what he is doing and is honest and knowledgeable with his work. Job was done in an hour and a half, will for sure come back for any of my exhaust work needs!! read more

Got all of my brake pads and rotors replaced to pass an inspection. He provided me with the best price in the area and got it done within the time it took me to get my nails done across the street! Brakes work great and I passed inspection! read more

I called, came in right away, he showed me what was wrong, he gave me a choice of how to fix my rusted-out exhaust pipes, he fabricated pipes and fixed it in 2 hours while saving me $400.00. What's not to like!!! read more

There should be six stars. Drove by this non-descript garage with the red, white, and blue muffler man in front hundreds of times in 20 years. When we got an astronomical quote for exhaust work through our regular garage, we decided to see what American Muffler and Brake offered. Two lifts, one garage, one automotive artist. He puts the car on the lift, diagnoses the problem, shows you, gives you a reasonable quote, does the job. If you're lucky you'll stay to watch him work. We've brought 3 cars in and won't go anywhere else. read more

Friendly service, helped me out and fixed the problem quickly in one day! Would recommend.

Quick and Easy Simply put, they do mufflers and brakes. If you want your brakes done you have to buy the parts needed. Prices are very reasonable and the work gets done quick. Only complaint is that I believe they turn on their credit card machine when they want so be prepared to grab cash. Where are you gonna get a fill muffler job from the cat back for under 250 and front brakes (pads and rotors) replaced for u set 200 bucks with you buying the parts. Good deal, quality work. Thanks read more

Great service per usual. Great work for half the price. Will not go anywhere else but here. Don't waste your time at big name shops that's going to rip you off. read more

American Muffler and Brake - Cat replacement. - Auto Repair Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I was referred here by my mechanic to have my exhaust fixed and my car was serviced the same day.very professional and pricing reasonable. I was treated with respect and not spoken down to because I'm a woman. They also do more than mufflers and breaks. read more

Fast, friendly service. Very reasonable pricing. You have found a few new customers. I had a repair done on my exhaust which was all that was needed not a full replacement like the other place suggested. read more

This place is awesome!! They bailed me out big time this past weekend! My wife was driving her Subaru late Saturday afternoon when her exhaust system suddenly began dragging on the road. She limped home with the car, and, in true husband fashion, I told her I'd deal with it tomorrow. So, the next day, I looked under the car and saw an exhaust pipe had rotted at the original factory weld seam and completely separated from the rear section of the exhaust. I temporarily re-hung the pipe with a wire coat hanger, and then remembered seeing a sign that this place was open on Sundays. It was 10 a.m., and I called to confirm. The man who answered the phone said he was open until noon, so I rushed over. He took me in right away, put the car on a lift and inspected the exhaust system. In addition to the separated pipe weld, he found a flex pipe in poor condition and likely to fail in the near future, so I had him fix both items. I took a walk, and the mechanic called me an hour and 15 minutes later to say my car was ready. As with my first experience there, the price was very reasonable, and I was grateful they are open Sundays. Now my wife doesn't have to worry when she drives the car to work on Monday. This is definitely my go-to place for automotive exhaust system work! read more

Once again another great experience. My new car needed some exhaust work and had a leak. He told me exactly what it needed and showed me the issues. I didn't have the $ to fix all issues but he worked with me and fixed the leak . Very reasonable as always, he is very honest with you and he definitely always saves me alot of money. I appreciate the work and understanding on his part. read more

Vanna was an absolute lifesaver today. I was in Providence for one night and my catalytic converter was stolen. Woke up on Sunday to an extremely loud and overheating car. American muffler was the only shop open on Sunday. Vanna didn't have a part he needed to fix the car, but when I told him I am not from Providence and needed my car to get home today he went out of his way to help. He even closed down the shop for a few minutes to run out and get the part he needed to fix it. Service was excellent and fast. My car sounded and drove like new after visiting this shop. If I lived near Providence I would be a customer for life. Thank you, Vanna! read more

Vanna is an honest mechanic. Reliable and prompt with service calls..Hs estimates beat most.. John B..

Came in on a Sunday afternoon to get a quote , left a hour(ish) later with the work done. Very reasonable pricing and good overall person. Highly recommended read more

This guy is my hero!! The hanger broke off the rear of my muffler, it was welded back on once. I went to several other muffler shops and they all said the same thing. $500+ for a new muffler, parts labor, etc. Other shops just want to sell you new parts and the employees lack the skill or desire to do actual repairs. The gentleman here had the car up, looked at and welded with in 20 minutes. FOR $25!!! read more

American Muffler and Brake - All better! - Auto Repair Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I was referred there by another mechanic who was very confident in their welding...when I got there I explained the situation and he put it on lift and in 5 minutes determined what needed to be done and at a very fair price! I'd recommend this place to anyone! read more

I do not recommend going there for brake work. They did not have a diagnostic machine to check my brake light. I was told they only fix brakes. It felt like a waste of time going there. I could barely make out what the mechanic was trying to tell me. His English is not very clear and he came across rude having me call a different place to check my brake light. I will not go back there again. Good customer service is important to me too not just low price car repairs. read more

I have nothing, but amazing things to say about this company! The check engine light came on my car. Brought it to the dealership where I bought the car... Turns out 1 of my catalytic converters needed to be replaced. They quoted me $2,400 to replace 1! I then brought it to a small mom and pop shop and they quoted $1,400 to replace 1. Not bad, I thought. Saving around a $1,000. Before I pulled the trigger I saw the great reviews here and figured I'd give it a shot. Brought the car in, they looked at it, diagnosed the issue within a matter of minutes me being there. Actually showed me what was wrong and quoted me $600 to replace both with brand new higher flowing catalytic converters! BOTH, not just one. They saved me roughly $2,200-$4,200 in repairs! (estimates with replacing both catalytic converters) What more can I say? They are honest people who will do what needs to be done and nothing more. I plan on bringing my vehicle to them for all maintenance needs moving forward. read more

I stumbled upon this place by accident . I needed a new exhaust for my truck. Problem is I have a custom exhaust . So the places I went and got quotes from where pretty high. I walked in here and was treated by the owner , who was also the mechanic. I explained my problem and he went out climbed under my truck came back out and told me what was wrong . I then asked the big question "how much?" The price he gave me made my mouth drop . IT WAS CHEAP. At this point it was a no brainer and told him to do the work . He bent and cut the pipes himself , did some welding and replaced the muffler all in about 40mins . Truck sounds good and exhaust look good, couldn't be happier . I will definatly return , getting my shocks done next. read more

American Muffler and Brake - Auto Repair Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

They're fast, their prices are reasonable, and they know what they're doing. You really can't ask for more! I just came upon them by chance and I'm so glad that I did. Also a plus to support a fellow Cambodian business - was not expecting that! :-) read more

The guy "WANA" is very knowledgeable and polite. Don't underestimate his English speaking, he may be not good at English but he is the best in business. I had a problem with my suspension and he fixed it for me quickly and perfectly. read more

Did my brakes without appointment in about an hour. Trustworthy guy did a great job. This is an honest business.

I tried this place after reading the last review, and I'm so happy I did! I needed new brakes so badly that the metal started grinding and screeching while driving. I researched so many area shops that did brakes and called a handful of them. After speaking with the owner of American Muffler & Brakes, he told me to come and he would give me an estimate. His estimate was so much lower than everyone else I called, that I decided to go for it. The best part is, he did it same day, used better quality materials (gold rotors vs. generic ones) and even showed me my old rotors after pulling them off so I would feel comfortable with the decision to replace them all. They were corroded and rusted. He was extremely reasonable, respectful and honest. It's rare that I leave a auto repair shop and feel happy to have done business there. This was the exception. He also said he does other things besides mufflers and brakes. I am taking my car back for a tune up, to replace timing belt and a few other things. I'm excited for this find! read more

Amazing service. Trustworthy business. Exceptional work in a short amount of time. Can't thank these guys enough.

I like the guy who runs this place a lot. They're honest people and they try their best to fix your vehicle. I had a friend recommend this place after his exhaust was coming loose. They definitely specialize in exhaust work. But they do other things as well like brakes and rotors. Dropped off my car for struts and was told two hours but it turned out to be more like four. Still though, the price was worth it and it's walking distance from my house. Make sure to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. read more

These guys are fair honest and reasonably priced. I had them do a muffler on a Jeep Grand Cherokee for a fraction of what my normal mechanic quoted me. Also had them do exhaust manifold on a different Jeep for half the price of most shops. I'll keep coming back to these guys. read more

Great shop. Let me see under the car and showed me exactly what was wrong. Didn't try to upsell me. Good solid work at a good price. Very friendly. read more

I got my brakes done here for way lesser than other places! i would HIGHLY recommend anyone to these guys. Other places i would have had to make an appointment was being charged too much and i already brought my own brakes and routers. But these guys was 80% lesser than others and i didn't have to make an appointment and i got it done the same day! i'm humbly thankful!! these guys ROCK!!! read more

This is the first time I've ever felt moved to write a review and am doing so because I was so pleased with my experience here. During a routine inspection at Firestone, I found out I had an exhaust leak. I was told by the Firestone guy that I would have to replace the entire exhaust manifold and that this would take 3-4 hours and about $550. It would also take him 2-3 days to find the correct part. I asked whether I could replace a gasket rather than the whole manifold and was told I could not. I frantically called around to different mechanics and none could fit me in during the coming week. I called American Muffler and they said I could bring my car by after work that day and they would take a look. Sure enough, I drove down and they took me in immediately, put my car up on the lift and told me they needed to replace the gasket; it would take an hour; I could wait there; and it would cost $150. They were polite, honest, easy to talk to. I waited on a pleasant couch and watched the National Geographic Channel they had playing. I highly recommend this place! Thank you. read more
