Beto's Muffler provided outstanding service on my 2012 Corolla. They were courteous, professional, and very reasonable with their pricing. Within 3 hours, they installed a new catalytic converter along with a sturdy protective cage, and the work was solid and secure. Fast turnaround, honest communication, and quality craftsmanship. Highly recommend Beto's Muffler. read more

Beto's Mufflers - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Here's a more detailed, hard-hitting version that repeatedly references the shops while staying controlled and credible: --- Just a fair warning to everyone here--be very careful who you're taking advice from, especially when it comes to your vehicle. I recently came across someone from **Beto's Muffler** (a guy in his 30s) confidently breaking down mufflers from A to Z. And honestly, it wasn't just bad--it was painful to read. Not slightly off, not a "different perspective"--just completely incorrect information being presented like it was fact. The kind of delivery that sounds convincing to someone who doesn't know better, but is full of holes to anyone with real experience. I've spent over 20 years working as a mechanic at Pep Boys, dealing with real diagnostics, real repairs, and real consequences when things go wrong. This isn't theory for me--it's hands-on work, day in and day out. So when I hear someone from **Beto's Muffler** speaking with that level of confidence while lacking the fundamentals, it's impossible to ignore. Then things escalated. Someone else stepped in , his DAD maybe --who actually seemed to understand what he was talking about--which briefly balanced the conversation. But right after that, someone from **Willy Tires** jumped in, and that's when it really went downhill.Willy Tires cannot be trusted..AT ALLLL. Within minutes, the guy from **Willy Tires** started talking about engine work, exhaust behavior, and performance-related topics with full confidence. But it was immediately clear--he was completely out of his depth. There's a massive difference between working on tires and understanding engines, exhaust systems, airflow, and diagnostics. Those are entirely different disciplines. Let me be clear: there's nothing wrong with specializing. If **Willy Tires** is focused on tire services--mounting, balancing, flats--that's fine. But when someone from **Willy Tires** starts giving advice on engines and mechanical systems without the proper knowledge, that's where it becomes a serious problem. I stopped the guy from **Willy Tires** right there and told him straight--stick to tires. Don't step into areas you clearly don't understand. Because the moment people start trusting that kind of advice, it can lead to real damage--bad repairs, wasted money, and potential safety issues. And the same goes for **Beto's Muffler**--if you're going to represent a shop and speak publicly, make sure what you're saying is accurate. Because misinformation tied to a business name doesn't just reflect on one person--it reflects on the entire shop. This isn't just casual conversation. This is people's cars, their money, and their safety on the line. That's the real issue here--when people from places like Willy Tires speak with confidence they haven't earned, it creates a false sense of credibility. And for someone who doesn't know better, that can turn into a costly mistake. Bottom line: be cautious. Think twice before trusting advice coming from Willy Tires based on what I saw. Not all advice is created equal, and in this field, the wrong information can cost you far more than you expect. read more

I never write reviews but after coming here I had a really great experience, price was decent and work is great

Someone stole the catalytic converter off my Toyota Prius, and I needed it replaced fast. This shop and their staff were amazing and incredibly helpful. They worked directly with my insurance company to get everything paid for and had my car ready in less than a day. Not only did they quote me the best price in town, but the new catalytic converter is CARB-certified, and I easily passed my SMOG test. The shop also installed an anti-theft shield for my new catalytic converter. Please don't hesitate to go to this shop if you need a new catalytic converter or any muffler work! read more

Great service at a fair price, I'd needed a new exhaust swapped into my car and I was in and out in about an hour

Came in today to replace my stock resonator with an after market one. They were super friendly and quick, was in and out in maybe about 30-45 minute. And nice and cheap. read more

Found Beto's on yelp and the reviews are true. Drove up unannounced and I was in and out in about 30 minutes. He fixed a crack in my muffler and pointed out a missing bolt in my exhaust manifold which he then replaced for free. Truck is running much better than before now. All in all, great service here! read more

Called to inquire about pricing on installing an aftermarket exhaust and gave me a good reasonable price. They were able to take me in on such short notice and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. read more

Went in with a big hole in my muffler they took care of me with friendly service. Had a small miscommunication on my end but they made sure I got what I wanted. Highly recommend this shop read more

Was recommended by a friend of the family, who is a mechanic. Upon arrival at Beto's, I was immediately attended to with friendly faces. They troubleshooter my catalytic converter and I felt were very honest of what the issue was and what it would cost. The work was done very quickly and I was so happy with the result! Highly recommend this family owned small business. They also weld anti-theft catalytic converter cages! A++++ Service & Experience! read more

I was referred to Beto's by Monkey's Mufflers (close by) to install an anti-theft cage around my newly-installed catalytic converter after mine was stolen. They're normally quite busy but they got me in and out in under an hour -- they did an amazing job and were decently priced at $240 for everything including the cage and labor. Trust me, it's worth it to get the cage with the rampant theft happening - you'll end up paying more for another catalytic converter or your insurance deductible when it eventually gets stolen again. They were kind, explained everything to me, and let me under the car to see exactly what they did. It really doesn't get better than this and I highly recommend them to anyone in a similar situation. read more

Got my cats cut off by some scum bag. These guys hooked it up. My mechanic friend recommended them to me. Would've preferred OEM cats, but 2 aftermarket cats and the security deterrent, installed, cost me less than one OEM cat. The price included the O2 sensor the thieves cut off with it. Now, time to complete a drive cycle to see if I pass smog. All in all, cool guys, great service, and reasonable price. FYI. For those that are not in the know, aftermarket cats are not bolt on. They have to be welded on to the exh read more

I have been here multiple times and have never once been disappointed. I came to Beto's for a muffler delete, resonator deletes, and muffler re-attachments. Every time I went, he's provided me with excellent prices and finishes typically between 30-40 minutes. I recommend calling before going as they are usually quite busy. Beto charged me $70 dollars for two resonator deletes and $200 for the muffler delete. read more

Went in to have a catalytic converter shield put on my car after unfortunate theft. They were quick and it's been good so far!

What can I say about Beto's Mufflers but he's a real great person and his son was very helpful and awesome guy overall. When it came to pricing it was the very best compared to other location. I was in need of a catalytic converter and in all honesty no one can beat his price. The service I got from them is top notch and would highly recommend their location to anyone and everyone. If you're in need of a catalytic converter this is the place to go. read more

Honest and good business. Beto took care of getting my catalytic converter installed along with the o2 sensor for a reasonable price. Shopped around and this business was the best option. Glad I came here and now my car is up and running thanks to Beto and his crew. read more

Catalytic converter was stolen, and went here to replace it. Overall service was fast and excellent! Would definitely recommend going here!

I recently visited Beto's Muffler Shop, and I must say, their service was outstanding! They quickly diagnosed the clogged muffler and efficiently checked the catalytic converter. The test drive after the repair ensured everything was in perfect order. I highly recommend Beto's for their expertise and top-notch service! A muffler shop you can trust! To go in detail, After an engine rebuild my car didnt have the power it used to have. Different mechanics kept on saying it was the catalytic converter and the cost would have been more than $4000 since there wasn't any aftermarket and the original part would go for over $3800+tax on the dealers website. However, Beto checked each catalytic converter, showed me how clean they are and that the issue must be from somewhere else. After each change he tested the car outside to see if the issue was resolved or no. Eventually he found out it was from the muffler tank and he replaced it with another one he had. We drove it it was fine and he told me he could either keep that on and charge me for it or take it off and there would be no charge! Of course his price was so low i felt like he did a charity for me!!! Not even comparable to other places' prices!! He earned my business for the years to come! read more

Came recommended by a mechanic I trust. Has done two mufflers for me now. Totally trustworthy and does good work.

Can I give 6 stars? The truth is that I could not request a quote online via yelp..I almost bypassed them (Beto). I noted how many good ratings they had and called them (welcome back to the 80's.) Wow on price, service, professionalism, response, and execution (in and put as promised. (New catalytic converter and install.) Such a pleasure to have such a high level.of competency. So missing today when mediocre is the standard. Also fixed something then "noticed" at no charge. A +. read more

I don't usually make reviews but I had to make review here because Alicia was an absolute angel. She really helped me in a dire situation in the most graceful and warm manner. She reminded me of a Tia who is full of comfort. Beto and his team was able to help get my car in and out as quick as possible. Their family-owned shop made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I highly recommend them to anyone who may need any muffler or converter needs. I can't thank them enough!!! read more

I had the cat convertor protection wire installed for my Prius here. Beto skillfully wired and welded the protection. 3 weeks ago someone tried to steal the cat, he/she couldn't cut the wires and my cat was saved!! He's very honest and reliable guy. Highly recommend especially if you have high risk cars like Prius and element. read more

Catalytic converter was stolen off the street around Hoover and Occidental. Found a catalytic converter and needed to install it. Went to Beto's Mufflers around 1 PM. He had two customers ahead of me and he managed to finish their work in 20 minutes. Brought my car in and he placed it on his lift. Took him less than 10 minutes to weld the converter in place. Spoke with him and he said he gets several cars everyday with stolen converters. He recommended a security wire to wrap around the converter to stall or dissuade potential thieves. He did such a comprehensive job at installing the wire to the car and on the converter itself. His price was really good for all the work done and I would recommend coming here. read more

The best experience I've had replacing my catalytic converter... Which I've done four times thanks to the nightcrawlers of LA. Beto knows his stuff. I was in and out of there in less than a half an hour, and he gave me the best price of all the places I called. read more

I really can't recommend these guys enough! Someone stole my catalytic converter overnight and I had no idea what that even was. I was recommended to Beto's by 5 Speed Motors (which was very nice of them) and called about bringing my car in ASAP. I thought I had to tow it but they assured me I could drive (I really know nothing about cars) and to bring it in anytime before 5pm. Because I needed my car for a trip tomorrow, they installed a temporary straight pipe literally as soon as I pulled up and finished in less than an hour! I didn't even have a set appointment. The reason I brought up that I know nothing about cars is that every time I go to a garage I know I could get ripped off pretty easily. I tried to google what it cost to replace a stolen catalytic converter with a straight pipe and the only info I saw was that it was maybe around $130. I would have been ok being charged under $200 because they took care of it so quickly, but it cost $90! I'm really grateful because I was worried about the time and cost, and it's a huge relief having my car working again so quickly. These guys are clearly trustworthy and I really appreciate their help! read more

I brought my daughter's car here when her catalytic converter was stolen. They answered all our questions when we called.

Very nice people. read more
