Brownie Muffler Service - Exhaust - Auto Repair Near Me - Modesto, California

Carlos was very helpful in selecting and installing a new exhaust for our car. He got us in and out in less than 30 minutes and was priced great. We were unsure which exhaust we preferred, so he let us hear different mufflers on our car before we made the decision. I would 100% recommend them. read more

Great fast service! Great pricing! I would recommend him to anyone that needs to get their car service.

I can see why all the 5 star reviews! We are restoring a 86 mustang that needed a catalytic converter. What I didn't know this thing has 3 of them. They could have charged for all 3 and I would not have known! Only one had to be replaced. Plus the car had a transmission leak and they fixed that!! They went above and beyond the service requested. Great work quality and it was a great price. I wouldn't go anywhere else!! Great people besides everything else!!should be 10 stars!! read more

The owner Carlos , is a great guy, the work done as promised. I recommend this place highly, the have come through with flying colors . When they quote you and later to find out it cost a little more he sticks to what he quoted you. I don't mind paying the extra cause he has ALWAYS been very honest. This is the place to take your vehicle even if don't need muffler and radiator service. Great job Carlos. read more

This company replaced the catalytic converter on my car within 4 hours for a reasonable price and the customer service was excellent.

I have taken my car here for the last 2 years. Always friendly staff. They take the time to explain exactly what they are doing and how much it will cost before preforming the service. read more

I could not be happier with the service here. I called multiple places to get my catalytic converter replaced on my RV after it was stolen. Finally found someone that would work on it. They had me bring it the next day, and they had it done in a few hours. Price was reasonable, everyone there was friendly, and they offered to help me get out of the lot. Above and beyond with the level of service. I highly recommend Brownies. read more

I've been doing business here since 1964. Good people-great prices. Go there if you need car repair. They have a good inventory of parts and skilled craftsmen to do your job. Carlos, the owner, offers great customer service, work gets done on time and at a good price. You won't be dissapointed. Easy in and out off 9th Street. read more

Brownie Muffler Service - A picture of their business card with address, phone number and sevices. - Auto Repair Near Me - Modesto, California

Let me tell you about this place I cannot say enough good things about them. The owner Carlos is extremely kind not money hungry and genuinely just wants to help you! Would recommend 10 out of 10. I wish it was more than just a muffler shop because this man would get all my business read more

Took my Nissan Titan truck in to get the stock exhaust replaced with a more beefy sounding muffler. They were super busy but Luis still took the time to make sure I got everything I wanted. Truck. Sounds great and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. read more

I was referred here after my catalytic converter was stolen. They did a great job at a fair price and were very courteous. Then my radiator needed replacing. Again, they did a great job at a fair price and were very courteous. I have some disabilities that make noise a problem and they were very accommodating of this. I would take a vehicle here first for any issue they deal with. Very happy with them. read more

They had the correct OEM catalytic converter in stock. It was installed in a timely manner and at a good price

Honestly, best repair shop ive been. The crew is kind, professional, quick, and most importantly knowledgeable on what they do. They had me out within the hour and charged me 1/2 of what other places wanted to change me. I see why google has them at 5 stars. I will never go anywhere else, except here again *Hablan Espanol read more

My dad took in our 2008 Honda Element for a Catalytic Converter and Brownie Muffler was the most competitive priced. My dad was in and out within about 45 minutes, they reset our check engine light and got us in the same morning. Thank you Brownie Muffler Service for the GREAT customer service! read more

Carlos is an outstanding business owner! From a customers perspective, he's not the type to try to screw you over, very humble man, always willing to help and figure out any kind of issues. 100% recommend!!!

Brownie Muffler Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Modesto, California

Brought my Mazda in, explained my issue needing extra pipe fitted to install my aftermarket cat back exhaust, they finished my car same day. Was originally told next work day as it was Saturday, But man they do work quick. Good stuff. Absolutely satisfied with the quality of work and speed, will come back for any future work. PS my car was really low, they had no trouble helping me out. Give them a call, I'll send anyone I know to them. -Rocky read more

Great service! Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Carlos is awesome! Thanks to everyone at brownie. I drove all the way from Sacramento to get my car fixed up and I do not regret 1 mile. Thanks guys! read more

I want to give the BIGGEST thank you to everyone at Brownies. They went above and beyond for me and I am forever grateful for that. They kept me in the loop with my car including full transparency about the issue with it. I even had a small issue the next day and they immediately took care of it for me. It was easily the fastest turn around I've ever had with car issues. So thank you again!!! read more

Had my friend kinda mess up my new catback exhaust and they took my car and fixed it with no issues. They even fixed it same day and it wasn't overpriced. Great place. read more

I love this place!! They do a great job and I can really tell they know what they are talking about. They explained everything they were doing thoroughly. If you ever need radiator or muffler help this is your place!! Great service :)) read more

Best place ever! The most honest place around, fixed my problem that others were trying to over charge. But they charged 1/3 and I appreciate places and people who are honest puts my faith back in people. Thanks Guys! read more

Carlos and crew were super awesome. Had them put a catback exhaust on (I bought the exhaust kit and brought it in). When I got there, they were putting a performance exhaust on a lexus that was up on the rack. They do really good work. I was quoted a great price for my exhaust. They had it done before they said it would be completed. Went the extra mile by welding it so there would never be any slippage in the exhaust. Thanks Carlos! I will be back for sure. read more

We have to have two catalytic converters replaces in our 1998 Tahoe in order to pass smog we were recommended to Brownies and I have to say their customer service was great! They were able to get me in and out in a reasonable time. The only reason for a 4 star is their waiting room was very cold and uninviting. read more

Spend your hard earned money on this place! Carlos was extremely helpful in dealing with my car. I needed a part replaced quickly, and he worked with me and got my part. He was able to fix it quickly and I got back to work on time. Great customer service! I will support this small local business in the future. Great job Carlos!!! read more

First, this shop is located in Modesto CA USA. The answering machine should be in english, not spanish. Second, the one older guy is a grumpy old guy. "my way or the highway" type. Not usually a problem, but when I'm at work I wont send my wife down there and that is inconvenient. On the plus their prices are reasonable, they just need some service training and people skills. The 70's are long gone.... read more

I had my Corolla and Mitsubishi Montero replaced the Cats and oxygen sensors at Brownie 2 years ago. Until now, I have not gotten any problems with the repair done. They did a great job on both of my vehicles! The manager spent sometime to explain to me about the work to be done. I highly recommend this guy's! read more

I've used brownies several times for multiple vehicles. They just replaced the radiator & thermostat in my truck. The price was very reasonable, and they had all the parts in stock. I dropped it off at 8am and it was done by 3pm. Great shop, would highly recommend for Modesto area. read more

I came to this location last week to get a catalytic converter guard placed on my Prius. I was highly impressed how fast and efficient they were. I was in and out in a matter of 45 minutes. They even showed me the underside of my car where they installed it. However, the only thing that is preventing me from giving five stars is their safety measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. None of the employees were masked, and they were not social distancing, but they require customers to follow guidelines. read more

Called 1 day prior was given a Quote. Told them see you following day. Was told about 45 mins, Nope I was in and out in 20mins. Best Price for Catalytic Converter for my Accord. Highly recommend. Great Service not only over the phone but also in Person. Thank you read more

Love this shop! Larry and Carlos provide great service and are a pleasure to work with. I asked them to put my old muffler in the my trunk and they said no problem. These guys are awesome! I had them put a catalytic converter on and I thought it was bad and they were more than willing to help me out. Turns out the cat was good and I just needed to break it in! These guys rock! read more

My family has been going to Brownie for literally decades! They continually meet or exceed expectations. Their service is much better than most of their competitors (eg. Midas). I have been to great and not-so-great auto repair shops and Brownie consistently delivers the best service and at a fair price. By contrast, Midas has always been consistently rude, unprofessional, and mediocre at best. I would not trust Midas to do an oil change for fear that they would screw it up and blame it on the car. However, Larry and the guys are pros and friendly. I had to change out my catalytic converter recently. It would have cost $2300 at Audi. But Larry found a way to do it for under $450. Then, when the new catalytic converter was found to be defective, Larry told me not to worry and that it was under warranty. The guys swapped it out for a BETTER MODEL and never charged me for the upgrade! WOW! Thanks guys! read more

Overcharged me by $170.00, then when I paid the bill he smiled and said he was going to knock $20.00 off bill because he wanted to help me out. Work was sub par, non of the workers are certified and work looked like it was done by shade tree mechanic. Owner is real fast talker watch your wallet, better yet go elsewhere. Location is in bad part of town make sure if you are unfortunate to go there leave your children at home and watch your back in the parking lot . read more

Went in with no appointment, had them change a resonator, and walked out all in under an hour and for a very reasonable price.

Doubled repair costs after quoting job, and refused to return muffler parts after repair, illegal in California. Reported them to the Automotive Repair Agency, they already knew about these guys. Please take your business elsewhere as you'll regret this decision. read more

I called around for a quote on a new catalytic converter and these guys were the cheapest I found. I was in a bind and asked if they could squeeze me in that day and was told "we're waiting for you, come on in"!!!! And I'm glad I did. I showed up about 20 minutes later and was out of there in about 15 minutes. The guys that worked on my truck were very friendly and knowledgeable in what the do. It was the first time I'd been there but they treated me like a long time customer. I am very pleased with the service and am going back to get a new exhaust system put into my other truck. From now on any time that I need exhaust service I will be going to Brownie!!! read more
