Try to keep this from getting TLDR. I guess the short story is this place did great work. I bought a used car years ago, it had a "performance" muffler on it. After putting up with the loud exhaust for a couple years, I was done. I went to a place that was closer to me at the time, and they put a stock muffler on it. Still had a little rumble, but told not much to do about it. Job well done, or so I thought. Few years later, I start noticing a rattle on startup. It's not bad, it goes away after warm up. I carry on. Few months ago, it gets worse, still goes away, but I think I might have a transmission issue. Friend of mine I'm telling about it said he had the same thing once and he had a broken bracket on his exhaust system. I get under and see this mess. Cracked welds, pipe separated from the muffler. Also, they didn't install a mounting support above the pipe, probably one of the reasons it broke. Well, not going back to that place. I did a little research, and Big Johns looked like the best place. Little out of my way, but I wanted to make sure this time things went better. I believe John was there when I arrived, and had another guy who worked with him. I mentioned the whole problem, plus said it was still a little loud. He suggested a slightly bigger muffler, plus he installed a bracket support where the other place hadn't, and also redid the other two supports that were in place. The new supports were obviously more heavy duty. It did the trick. Also, I noticed my car was running better and a couple of issues had gone away. Car is now running like it did before all this started, and it's the quietest it's ever been. Charged me $200 and it was well worth it. At this point, I'm pretty happy. Be aware that when I was there, they only work on one car at a time. I don't know if he utilizes the other garage bay, but they work fast. It took maybe 30 minutes or so to do the job. read more

Big John's Muffler Shop - After - Auto Repair Near Me - Haltom City, Texas

See all

A few years ago I had an Chevy HHR that needed a new muffler. The dealership said it was all in one piece which was upwards of $800. I went to John and he cut and welded in a new piece. $220 out the door. His work is amazing and fair price. Now I want to upgrade my muffler on a 6.2L GMC Denali and this is the only place I will go. read more

Asked for a quote to get a resonator and muffler delete on MKV Supra. A reply was given promptly through Google, with a rough estimate. Few days later, I take off work early to bring the vehicle in, calling beforehand to ensure stopping by was ok. After arriving, there was one customer being assisted before me. I head into an empty office and take a seat, nobody to greet me. Couple minutes later, a seemingly disgruntled employee came through the door and quickly greeted me and said they would be with me as soon as possible, before disappearing back through the shop Being an enthusiast, I wanted to do my usual mods with a new vehicle and wanted to try this shop after looking through the reviews. Why not? It's on the way home from work. I waited around for 30 minutes with no other interactions, updates, etc. This isn't my first time doing a mod of this nature and I know how much time it typically takes and the work involved. I felt pretty disrespected as a customer and after, (who I am guessing is the owner), walked in the office several times without any sort of update on when he would get to me, I decided to leave. Its sad as a car enthusiast to be treated this way. I asked for a quote, I called before coming, I did my due diligence. Its unfortunate that "Big John" or whoever didn't think my business or seemingly my character/appearance was good enough... I advise any enthusiast or potential customer to stay away. This seems to be a small time shop and not what the reviews claim. Maybe I came on a bad day, but that isn't an excuse to treat me the way I was treated. read more

I took my 2019 Rebel Ram to Big John's muffler shop to upgrade my exhaust and was thoroughly impressed with not only the service but the competitive prices. Was so impressed that I brought my 2012 Honda Accord in the following day to get my catalytic converter fixed. Honest service! Great prices! Amazing turn around time! Seriously the best around. Thank you again. read more

Amazing work. Reasonably priced and quick I will always recommend Big Johns muffler shop read more

I have a 2017 Ford Mustang Ecoboost that's my baby. I called this morning and he told me to go ahead and bring it in. Come to find out that the Flex Tube was broken, I must've ran over something which caused it to break. He even asked if I wanted to see it, which I did. I asked him how much would it be expecting several hundreds and he gave me a reasonable price and I had him go ahead and fix it. I was in and out in less than an hour. He was very friendly and he even filled the tires for me, the light had come on before I got there. I definitely recommend them to get any muffler work done on your vehicle. read more

Business owner is a stand-up guy. Took care of exhaust issue quickly and fairly. Highly recommend.

Received a couple of quotes from standard garage. Stopped in at the local parts store. Long story short they recommended Big John's to fix my issue. They were priced very competitively, treated us fairly, got the job done, and right on time as promised. They even recommended an option that ended up saving us money. I really cannot ask for a better experience! read more

Have and will always use this shop for my exhaust system. I have used him on several occasions, with different trucks. Always honest informs you what would be best. Very reasonable price. Sent my daughter to him a few years back on an issue we thought was the converter. He informed her she didn't need. Told her to get the sensors checked. He could have easily done the job for several $100. She used him again when her tailpipe was rattling, he checked it and repaired it quickly and only charged a minimum amount. I recommend Big John's and will continue to send customers his way. read more

The dealer quoted me almost $1k to replace my muffler. Big John's did a weld repair for much less. The repair took less than 15 minutes, and the price was very fair. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I started having issues and saw that Big John's was recommended in one of my FB groups, and I am so happy he was! I messaged him and he got back to me quickly with my zillion questions. I was able to pick up the parts and take them to the shop. He was quick and very reasonably priced. A couple of weeks ago I thought one of my cc's was stolen as there was an incredibly loud coming from underneath and only got louder the more I pressed the gas, typical in a theft. I messaged him again and said to bring it on it. I did and as soon as it got up on the lift, he assured me there wasn't theft but had a couple of bolts loose and a leak. He fixed it right then and didn't even charge me for the quick repair. Big John's is the absolute best and can't recommend him enough if you have cc or muffler issues. read more

Better places don't exist. Great man working there. Very prompt with work. Loved my car work.

We found this place here on Yelp, the reviews are what led us to call. My husband called and got off the phone, told me the price and I didn't believe him. Then he was like can that be right? So I sent a message on here, to be sure, and he replied with the same price as quoted on the phone. I had the work done today, he was extremely fast and fair priced. Highly recommend, you won't be sorry. read more

well done on the spot they fix my catalytic converters thank you so much I'll recommended this shop honest and friendly mechanic

This place is totally awesome. I was referred to "Big John's" by another auto shop for exhaust leak. I went there at 8:30 am with no appointment and they had me on a lift inspecting the leak within 15 minutes. They showed me the problem which was a cut exhaust pipe where someone had tried to steal my catalytic converter from my 1 ton cargo van. They welded the pipe back together and I was on the road by 9:15 am. AND, the cost was only $30. I would recommend this place for the best friendly and fast service known to man with no price gouging. Thank You Big John........ read more

Over the weekend my wife got our 2014 QX80 stuck in ditch while trying to find park. In the process of getting the vehicle out, we damaged & broke off the muffler(resonator). I searched in yelp for some quotes for the repair. Big John's was one of the first to reply & gave me a decent quote but would need to look at it to be sure. I brought it in a couple hrs later, & after taking a look at, it was even less than what it was initially quoted for. They got me in and in about an hr & they were completely honest on what was needed & not needed to be repaired. Would highly recommend. Thank you Big John's !! read more

Very fast service at a fraction of the price. I brought my Toyota Land Cruiser in after Toyota quoted me $3400 to replace my two catalytic converters. Toyota said the parts alone were $3000. I had to call BS when I heard that. Big John gave me a quote over the phone that was a fraction of the price and the parts were in stock. I was in and out in under an hour. These guys clearly know what they are doing and I would not hesitate to bring my cars back to Big Johns! read more

Big John's is a very professional shop that knows exhausts like nobody else. I took off a catback system and put back original factory exhaust in preparation for a flowmaster 40 series. John found exhaust leaks that I caused. Instantly addressed them and gave entire system a once over. Highly recommend Big John's to anyone needing any type of exhaust work done. I will definitely go back again. Thanks Big John's. read more

Ohmygoodness. I don't have enough wonderful things to say about this place. Our muffler fell off while driving (only 1/2 way off) and we were referred here from our oil change place. We tied up the muffler with some wire- drove it over and they fixed it in under an hour for $50! And they were the nicest people ever. I'd recommend this place to ANYONE and EVERYONE with muffler problems. Honest wonderful company. read more

Great work! Really good prices and I would go back again. As a female it's hard to trust who to goto when it comes to automotive and after market products but this shop made it really easy. My mother loves the sound so much that I can hear her revving her truck in the driveway. .. thanks for the great service!! read more

This place is AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!! I highly recommend Big John's. They have the best price in town. It being so close to Christmas I was worried I wasn't going to have enough money for gifts. But his prices blew everyone else's out the water! Not to mention he is super kind! I had my Catalytic Converter replaced. I called earlier in the week and told him I would be there Saturday morning at 8am. It was really cold that morning and he made sure the office was nice and warm just for me! He had me in and out in 20mins, gave me my 3 year warranty on the product as well. Super sweet guy! They have been there for almost 30 years! You can't stay in business that long if you are doing something wrong! These guys got it figured out and I'm grateful! read more

Really great guys working here! Have been in business for two generations and really know what they are doing. I was referred here by McGee's Garage off Solona in Haltom City. Big John's replaced my catalytic converter on my minivan and I had them throw on a glasspack for fun. They are honest, do good clean work, and enjoy doing creative jobs. This shop is one of the great small businesses in the Haltom City/Richland/North Richland Hills area and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Great customer service and great work! Highly recommend. Took my '15 Dodge Charger to them and got a Flowmaster exhaust system installed. Couldn't be happier with the work! read more

Took my car back right away, found the leak and were honest by recommending I bring it to the dealer as still under warranty. Will bring back whenever needed! read more

My cousin recommended Big John's years ago and everytime I've gone there it's been great service consistently. I most recently had him upgrade the exhaust on my 2016 Toyota Tundra. I shopped around and wasn't sure which option I wanted to go with. When I asked John he said he had recently done an exhaust on another Tundra that sounded good. He did some custom modifications so that the muffler would sit more under the bed of my truck rather than the cab eliminating some of the loud sound from being heard while cruising but still giving me the desired effect of a loud growl. Experienced, friendly, fast, and great prices is why I will continue to go back to big John's muffler shop. Thanks John. read more
