Talk to any mechanic, auto parts store worker, or car enthusiast in the Quad Cities area about exhaust systems -- and THEY ALL refer you to Bill @ Arizona Exhaust Systems. [Encounter #1:] Had a loud rattle a couple of years ago that suddenly started and occurred thereafter driving over bumps & potholes, and assumed that something in the exhaust system had come loose. Bill took it for a test drive and did a full inspection, but was unable to find any issue with the exhaust system (turns out it was a brake shoe backing plate that had rusted out and come loose). As another reviewer had experienced, I insisted on paying Bill for his time -- but he refused any payment. [Encounter #2:] Ignored catalytic converter diagnostic codes until old Prius with lots of miles (nearly 300,000) was unable to climb hills or go faster than 35 MPH (owing to that converter becoming clogged and exhaust backing up causing loud valve noises). Anyway, Bill quoted me a price which I was thrilled with -- and when I arrived later to pick up the car (a little wait as he's so popular & busy), he said that the actual price was around $200 less as the labor turned out to be less than usual owing to the ability on my car to access & replace two components at once -- instead of the time often required to access both components separately & independently. Bill is a national treasure. read more

Fast, friendly, efficient, fair, knowledgeable, first rate work. I can't say enough about Bill and his crew. Restores my faith in mechanics and humanity! read more

I was looking for a duel exhaust for my 1974 F250 Highboy, Luckily the few mechanic shops I frequent told me about Arizona Exhaust Systems. Bill is a soft spoken quiet guy. I pulled into the shop 2 minutes later he was under my truck measuring and coming up with a quote. The job was done to perfection, sounded great and even picked up some power over the stock two into one exhaust system. Bill is a true artist. Welded seams, quality material and looks like it was done by a computer assisted robot. The price was very fair for the quality of work and material, You get what you pay for when you deal with Bill. I actually drive off with a warm and fuzzy feeling. read more

This shop was referred by the 2 mechanics I called and I can understand why. The owner was completely honest about the scope of work that needed to be done and fully explained everything to me in simple terms. He understood that we couldn't pay for dealer parts and was able to completely fix my Honda's problem. He was extremely fair in his pricing. We recently bought another vehicle that needs exhaust work and this is the only place we trust to take it. We highly recommend Arizona Exhaust Systems!! read more

Bill has worked on my Envoy twice and has exceeded my expectations. My truck was rear ended, and the body shop wanted over $1000 for a new exhaust system. Bill replaced the tailpipe and got me back on the road for a small fraction of that. Months later, the truck developed an exhaust leak which I figured would be big $$$ to fix. Bill diagnosed the problem and had it fixed quickly, and at no charge even though it took him away from other jobs. It is difficult to find good service these days, but if you need exhaust work, definitely bring you car here. read more

I can't say enough how good Bill the owner is . He did a new exhaust for our 1987 BMW 325 and it was reasonable . I was expect so much more , and he did not try and rip us off . I am so impressed with his work and job well done. Thank you . read more

Cut out my two cats and replaced them for $650 on a Nissan Versa. Not too bad a deal and everything has been working for a while now.

After I purchased my Tahoe I wanted to put a performance exhaust on it and get rid of the horrible factory exhaust. Bill the owner talked everything over me and took care of my problem and built an amazing Borla System. Now is sounds like a Chevy and runs excellent since loosing the restricted exhaust.Bill is a craftsman in his field and has very fair prices and extreme quality Workmanship! Take your rig there and leave with a Big Smile. read more

I took my car here as a new customer to have it checked for a noise and smell I attributed to my exhaust system. Bill thoroughly checked the car and found no exhaust problems. He did find a bad anti-freeze leak that accounted for the smell. He test drove the car and suggested the rattling noise might be a suspension problem. After all the time and effort he put into diagnosing my problems he insisted I need not pay him. I did not even suspect people like this still existed in the modern auto repair business. read more

Bill and Tanner Did amazing work turned out exactly what I was looking for both tone wise and quality of work, was able to get me in and out in about an hour and half, thank you for the great work! Definitely take your car to this establishment and I'll be recommending him to friends and coworkers! read more

I have used Arizona Exhaust for the last ten years, his prices are always fair and he is an extremely honest businessman. I will continue to use Bill and Arizona Exhaust as long as I need Exhaust work read more

Bill was awesome and was able to give me the details of what my truck needed to replace my exhaust that had rusted out. He does work that is of both quality and reliability. Highly recommend. read more

I took my GMC Duramax Diesel in to replace that ugly GM exhaust tip. Bill installed a custom Dynaflow 6" stainless tip turned out behind the rear wheel for a lot less than the aftermarket kits advertised online! read more

Excellent quality and workmanship. It's a pleasure to support this kind of local small business. I took my '15 GMC in looking for a "rumbling but not overly-loud" exhaust system. Bill recommended the Magnaflow, and it worked out great. The work was finished on time, at a good price, and was of excellent quality. Now, two years later, it's still perfect. read more

Took my 2006 Wrangler Rubicon, into Bill, as my muffler had a loud resonating sound when I excelerated, very annoying. Bill was very busy and was backed up for days. Fit me in late one day, as I was planning a trip to Sedona. He found the Flowmaster was installed wrong and other problems with my suspension lift. Ask if I could fix the problem before he could install the new muffler. Bill even though very, very busy, got me in early next day, installed a more quiet muffler. Bill went above and beyond. Thanks again Bill, we had a great time in Sedona. read more

Great shop. Have had mufflers put on 2 two different cars there. Both times, the price was more than fair and the work was excellent. As busy as those guys are, they will take the time to talk to you about your car's exhaust and will negotiate a very reasonable price. In other words, they play ball. My car sounds practically silent. Will be a repeat customer if I own any other cars that need a muffler. Thanks. read more

I was told by a "another" mechanic that my CA CATs were shot (and all along I'd thought it was a bad exhaust hanger and muffler)... expensive options were given. In looking for a 2nd opinion and a good Exhaust mechanic I stumbled onto Bill and Arizona Exhaust. My wife first called him and was impressed with the fact that he spoke clearly, gave her time on the phone and said (as I get out of work after Bill usually closes), "I'll wait if he's coming by to look at the truck!" I had bought some universal replacement single CATs to replace the CAs and Bill was a tiny bit skeptical that it would all work BUT AFTER inspecting my Ford F-150 he said, "Darn, I should have looked before you bought those CATs. You have a bad hanger and exhaust!" But no matter, and I'd already bought 'em long before Bill, we did the whole deal! Old CA CATs cut out, O2 still in place, new hi-flow CAT on each side and the new hanger and high flow truck muffler. Great work, truck sounds wonderfully throaty but subdued and mellow. The new CATS (and Bill was careful to get the O2 down streams in the 'exact' same distance/location from the motor) are not throwing CELs and there is no "no CAT" rotten egg smell so often associated with removing CATS and not replacing 'em with something. Bill's price was very reasonable. The work is excellent and Bill is honest and dependable. I know of another friend who took their truck there for work, was so pleased with the job that he 'tipped' the mechanic, now that is something. I recommend Bill and Arizona Exhaust without reservation. If you have anything associated with exhaust and a combustion auto engine, Bill is the guy to see. You will not be disappointed! And you won't get robbed! BTW, across the street from Bill is AAA Brake and Auto... I had a brake issue, Bill said, "Kent's good" and sure enough he was! I wrote a review for AAA Brake as well... got my car care needs pretty much covered now. read more

I recently moved to Prescott from the Bay Area in Ca. where the prices are outrageous and the quality of work is less than desirable. I found Arizona Exhaust Systems on the Internet with limited reviews and nothing on Yelp. I dropped in one day to get an idea of what dual exhaust would cost me on my Ca. built 66 Malibu which is bone stock. Bill took me through the options and the price was what I was hoping for. He delivered as promised and the car performs and sounds great! Bill really went above and beyond to help diagnose an issue I was having that I figured was my carburetor needing adjustment with the high altitude. I opted not to tune it too much based on the new exhaust being installed. When I went to pick up the car Bill found it was actually the smog pump. Ya. Out that came in a quick second. It runs like a dream now!! I am very pleased with the service and work completed on my car and highly recommend his shop! Thanks again Bill! read more

Bill is such a perfectionist. I have taken all of my restoration cars to him for exhaust systems and headers and he has always done a fine job. I have a 1969 Ford Bronco that's all original and uncut. Also, a 1972 Ford Bronco. You can trust them 100%. Their prices are fantastic too. I am recommending them! read more

I went to Arizona Exhaust after driving around with a busted flex pipe for over a year. I was quoted by another mechanic about $200 to get it fixed. I figured I could bide my time and wait until I had the money. I finally decided to get it fixed and Arizona Exhaust fit me in the next morning, fixed the pipe in about 30 minutes and it was only $60! He did a great job and I highly recommend him to any one in need of Muffler service. read more

Got an exhaust issue? Go see Bill!!! I've taken my K5 Blazer and recently my wife's 2011 Grand Cherokee to Bill. He is amazing. Hard working, extremely fair and has exceeded my expectations in every way. read more

Bill did a great job on my car and I will tall all my friends to take there cars there and he was very nice &help full. John K

well I just wanted to say after looking around and pricing for my two trucks that needed exhaust repairs I went to Arizona Exhaust and concur with the reviews about this shop. The owner Bill was great and reasonable plus the workmanship on the repairs was excellent. I would give them 5 stars if I could. thanks Bill . read more

We called Bill, the owner, (a very nice man) & he was backed up with work but fitted us in just a couple of days later. This is an honest, fair price business and he does great work. Our very old exhaust system on our 1993 Mazda 929 had multiple rusted-out places and he replaced what was needed while we waited. If you ever need any exhaust work or muffler repair or replacement, you will not be sorry when choosing this business. He is very busy, and now we know why. He is very knowledgeable and does excellent work. We highly recommend Bill and his business, Arizona Exhaust Systems. We will take all our exhaust system business to him.
