I've been going to Best Muffler for 18 years, and they've taken care of dozens of projects for me. Eddie, the owner, has not only installed mufflers on everything from limousines, motorhomes, and personal vehicles to my fleet vehicles, but he's even custom-installed flagpole mounts on the back of my trucks so I can proudly fly American flags. The quality of work is always excellent, the prices are fair, and Eddie is a genuine person who cares about his customers and the community. Best Muffler is the kind of place you can always trust with your vehicle. Highly recommend!

Amazing work once again. This is like the 7th car they have done for me. Will be back again for whatever other project I have!

Greddy pipes, he fixed for me plenty of times

Good service, honest they take value in there craft. I have greddy pipes on my tsx. I've had a lot of exhaust leaks and best muffler's always takes care of me quick and good price and excellent quality. Check them out for any exhaust & muffler services requested. They won't let you down.

Only muffler shop worth going to in the IE! I had a custom exhaust that I wanted and this was the only place with great reviews. My friend with the exact same setup showed his custom line to Eddie. Eddie took one pic for reference and replicated it even better than what my friend has. They got it done on NYE and I went into the new year with a brand new exhaust. I recently got a ticket for my loud exhaust (no biggie, I knew the risk). I bought a stock exhaust and brought my car back to Best Muffler. His guys welded the stock exhaust a certain way so that it's easily swappable between my custom and stock. I get so many compliments on my exhaust and how clean the weld is. Can't thank these guys enough for their work!

For all your muffler needs, go see Eddie at Best Muffler. This is a family owned and operated business. When I called him, he was able to get me in the same day, even though he was super busy doing cars for dealerships. I greatly appreciate both the professionalism and affordability his shop offers. Thanks again Eddie!

These guys rock!! I'll just say it like this: these guys did to my exhaust Northern muffler place could do. A hub that was well done! Thank you Eddie!

I had my 1980 Trans Am Turbo towed to Best Muffler, ($29,000 valued restoration completed) the job was quoted 2-3 days, it took them two weeks or more. (Alex just kept giving excuses after excuses). Vehicle had just been painted and a new windshield put in. Vehicle was received back with a structural crack in the windshield (from being lifted wrong), it had a mark right over the crack like something was set on the roof, the quarter panel buckled, and there were several screws left under the hood which made the back corner come out of alignment and stick up (I found the bolts when it came home just piled under the hood). Alex stated "it's not my fault, I have cameras, please have it towed back ($400 my cost), he took exactly ZERO accountability, wanted to argue when I told him I would have my glass guy put in the windshield and after offering to take care of it, he stated "you can come look at 80 hours of footage to see what we did, we'll see". "He hen stated I will have my paintless dent removal man look at it". First of all it is "structural damage" not a dent, and it would be a cold day in hell before I had Alex and Best Muffler ever have my car in this shop again!!! IF I COULD GIVE THEM NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD!!!! NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR CUSTOM CAR, STREET ROD OR CLASSIC TO THIS SHOP!!! I would never ever let BEST MUFFLER touch any of my vehicles again and I would warn potential customers to beware of what this shop will do to your vehicle then deny everything. I am reporting damages to the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and in my opinion all the delays were caused because they damaged the vehicle and were trying to cover it up. The shop owner does not seem to understand that when they are in custody of the vehicle they are responsible for damages caused while they are in possession of the vehicle. A complete waste of time and money. It will cost me triple the muffler and pipe job they did to correct the damages they caused. BEWARE!!!!!!

Absolutely the worst communicators PERIOD. Our Catalytic Converter was stolen so we took our rig there as they said they can fix it within days. They NEVER once called. Never returned a call. Not one time. Our insurance agent had the same issue with them. They got fed up and sent us a check to pay for it rather than deal with this shop anymore. The repair was done and we sold it the same day but it seems the repair is fine. But 3.5 weeks, not one week, and zero calls... Horrible communication. Get it together guys. read more

This place! Man! I tried to get a muffler delete with new mufflers installed (which I was bringing in). Both times over the phone, I was told, "Bring it in tomorrow at 10am." I arrive, and both times, line is out the door and no recollection of telling me to swing by. Each time I talk to someone, it's someone different. I got tired of how they "book" appointments so I called up Warners Mufflers in Oceanside. Told them what I wanted and they said, "if you can get here by 4pm, we'll get you in and out." Got there at 3:55...by 4:05, my car was up on the lift. read more

If I could rate them 0 I would. I took in my 2013 Shelby GT500 to get an x pipe installed and they ruined my $300 front lip. The installer was too careless driving up the lift and didn't realize the lift was too high and the spotter told him to take it easy and he still scraped the lip BADLY! I had to go to a car show tomorrow, and now I can't! Take your car somewhere they treat it with care. Not even me that is a girl, ever scraped my lip & My car isn't even that low!!! read more

I was trying to get to a home that was high up on a hill that was barely a road to do the census. On the way up I started to hear a metal sound and pulled over. My muffler had came off in the front so that it wasn't safe to move forward. I thought I was stranded but a wonderful stranger came down the hills and I was nice enough to stop. He bungeed my muffler up so I could get it to this shop. They were great! Allowed me to pull in and welded it back on so quick and for such a fair price that I brought them back pizza! Lol They don't like answering the phone- but I'm sure grateful that they were able to help me and got me back in the road quickly!!!! read more

Best deals I've ever seen! Got my resonator and muffler deleted for $110 + $50 exhaust tips (even though he said $15), but still way cheaper than everyone else in town! One other shop wanted $160 just for the muffler! The only issue I have besides the tips, is the wait time they told me was 30 minutes for each delete, but ended up taking about 2 hours each.

I came in at 5:10 and they've already closed the shop and said that they won't take it in because they didn't want to move cars around.

I wish you and your business the best. OP Based on my family's experience, I would strongly encourage potential customers to read both the positive and negative reviews before making a decision. A relative of mine spent several thousand dollars on repairs here, but the vehicle's issues were not resolved, and she ultimately replaced the vehicle. We were extremely disappointed with the outcome. In our interactions, we felt the owner was dismissive, condescending, and disrespectful. During one conversation, he placed his hands on the arms of two female family members in a way they found inappropriate and unwelcome. We also felt that our concerns were not taken seriously and that comments were made that came across as dismissive because they were women. Based on our experience, we would not return or recommend this business.

Mario's Auto Diagnostics

(12 reviews)

Today was my lucky day and the first thing I did when Mario was done was rush to write this review…read more I have an older vehicle that was running horribly. I had been told that I needed a tune up but the quotes were a lot so I was putting it off. Well it took a turn for the worse and was getting close to undriveable. I made an appointment with a reputable auto repair shop in the area to get it taken care of. They looked it over and called me and said they were declining to work on it because it had over 10 codes on the OBP scan, they had to jump start it from the parking lot (news to me) and could barely drive it into the bay. They recommended taking it to the dealership (out of the question) or start looking for a replacement vehicle. I left dejected, thinking it was a goner. I called around looking for someone who would be willing to work on it and right away. One call was to Mario, who had a mobile service. I wasn't sure about the mobile thing as opposed to a brick and mortar garage but was willing to roll the dice because he had an opening the following morning. He was running behind due and I considered going to a local shop because I thought he might not be able to get to me and I needed it done that day and couldn't put it off. However, I just had a good feeling about him, and because of our phone conversation he really demonstrated a lot of knowledge about my vehicle. I decided to wait it out and have faith in him, and it really paid off. Not only is my truck purring like a kitten again but his cost came under what the shops were charging. In fact, I couldn't even get a firm quote from other people- they were leaving the door open that the price could go up depending on what they encountered and were also talking about $200ish diagnostic fees in addition to the repair cost before the work was done. I'm gonna be calling this guy, and I'm gonna keep his ass busy. I had a trusted mechanic for over 20 years who passed away, and so I was a free agent looking for another good guy. I think I'm officially off the market and I have three cars that need upkeep. 100% satisfaction today. He's definitely a master of his craft and was very fair and honest from soup to nuts. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back on the gas.

Mario came to us and got the job done effectively. His communication was excellent and the price was fair. We recommend him 100% due to his punctuality, great communication, quality service, and professionalism. You can trust him to get the job done and to be honest and direct.

I am so grateful that my family and I have found such a wonderful mechanic in our neighborhood. We…read morehad ongoing issues with the dealership and other mechanics, but Advanced Auto was able to fix a problem no one else could. Our original issue was with the air conditioning. We took it to the dealership multiple times and spent thousands of dollars, yet they were never able to fix it. After doing some research on Advanced Auto, I suggested to my husband that we take the car there. Sure enough, they quickly found the issue and fixed it for us. More recently, I took my vehicle in to have the shocks replaced. I expected it to be very expensive, but I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the quote was. They are honest and trustworthy. They don't recommend repairs that aren't needed, which is something I've felt other mechanics have done in the past. With Advanced Auto, that has never been the case. I take my car there regularly, and it's always ready the same day. I truly have nothing bad to say about them. They are kind, caring, and dependable.

After the work was supposedly completed, I later had my oil changed and was informed there was still an oil leak coming from the same area. Concerned, I brought my car back to this shop to have them take another look. Instead of properly reevaluating the issue, they told me nothing was wrong with the valve cover gasket and claimed the leak was coming from something else. This didn't sit right with me, so I decided to get a second opinion from another mechanic. The second mechanic confirmed that the leak was in fact coming from the valve cover gasket, the exact issue I originally paid this shop to fix. This means the problem was either not repaired correctly or not addressed at all. It's frustrating to spend money on a repair, only to be dismissed when you return with a legitimate concern. I expected accountability and a willingness to stand behind their work, but instead I was given incorrect information and no real resolution. I would not recommend this shop based on my experience. I suggest others get a second opinion before trusting them with important repairs.

I was referred by a friend to this place. I called in the morning of January 17th, 2014, to see if Eddie have time to check out and work on my car, but at that time.. he had a lot of cars to work on. So I called back again later that same day in the afternoon, but he was still busy working on some cars and told me to call back in a few hours. A few hours later, I called back and told me to bring my car. When I got there, he took a look at it and did a quick evaluation. I had to wait about 10-15 minutes or so, but it was totally worth the wait. Excellent services and very friendly people. Eddie, he's a really nice guy and knows his stuff. He installed a new muffler for me and what can I say, I'm really happy with the outcome. I'm definitely coming back here again and will refer my friends to this place. Awesome job Eddie! Thanks read more

Took my F150 in, got a muffler delete. Loved it but wanted a deeper sound. The owner helped me find a solution. I got a resonator delete and a flow master put it. Sounds great and prices were way better than the competitors. Autocross performance and mufflers is right down the street but the prices are way more expensive, the customer service sucks, and the shop looks like it is out of a trailer. Highly recommend best muffler, they will be my auto shop for life. read more

When the "Check Engine" light came on in my 2003 Ford Explorer, I was worried. My neighbor recommended Best Muffler, and boy, and I glad that she did. Eddie found the problem fast, fixed it within two hours, and charged me about 50% less than I thought I was going to pay. Great job, guys! read more
