These guys are legit. They have an easy scheduler. They crew is super nice and helpful. They let me try on a few mufflers and they recommended a magnaflow resonator to help with the drone. They even powder coated the tip to match my rims. Thanks Travis and Joey!!! read more

The old cat back exhaust on my 03 Silverado 1500HD had broken in half due to rust. So after having Ed Hanson's recommended by our mechanic shop. We went down there to get an estimate on a new system. This was about 3:15 in the afternoon. Not only was it hundreds cheaper than a DIY kit, but they were able to do the job right then while we waited. They were extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. Plus just today a few weeks later we received a handwritten card in the mail thanking us for our business. This is a top notch company with great customer service. I highly recommend the Ed Hanson team! read more

I absolutely love this shop. Scraped bad on the way into a driveway and gave myself a serious exhaust leak. Been about to go for a while though. They fit me in last second, gonna tidy this up a little bit for me too. Right now the header pipes stick out like dog balls. The new ownership seems amazing. Same feel 100%. They didn't mess with a working machine, and it's like Ed is still under there running beads instead of enjoying retirement. I still highly recommend this place for all of your exhaust work... custom and stock. read more

Ed Hanson's did a great job on all three of my vehicles . I will use them again. J Pohl

Ed Hanson's is a top notch shop. I had cat work done a few years ago on my old 96 Cherokee that has held up. Recently had to go in to see if they could repair a cracked manifold. Rebecca was super nice to work with and the shop crew was knowledgeable and courteous. They showed my multiple areas that had cracks which made a welding 'repair' a bad option, but did not hard sell a replacement. Much appreciated. read more

They took one look at my car and were able to tell me the issue. I feel awful as a DIYer going to mechanics for second opinions, but what most amateurs spend days scratching their heads over, they sent me straight home, I visciously attacled my precat with a Miluakee sawzall, and about 4t mins later, I knocked that stupid light off. God Bless Ed Hanson read more

Another great service and experience from Ed Hanson Muffler. Only place I would take my vehicle. Technician took extra time to explain everything and even painted up the new exhaust pipe. Looks better than Factory. Thank you Ed Hanson read more

Took my '15 Mustang Ecoboost in to Ed Hanson's for the custom exhaust setup that they do on them. In short, the car has never sounded or felt better! Throttle response, horsepower, weight loss, and especially the sound have drastically improved! I'm even getting a half to a full MPG better than before due to these factors. Kevin did an amazing job on my pony!! And every person that works there could not be any nicer and easy going. Rebecca, Kevin, and the man himself, Ed Hanson, are all quality people. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! HIGHLY recommend anyone taking their car, truck, or RV to Ed Hanson's to have exhaust work done!! Here's a before and after of how the tips and overall exhaust looked before and after. Now I don't see those ugly stock mufflers anymore, and the new tips are black and fit perfectly! read more

Ed Hanson's Muffler Service - Recommended these exhaust tips.. they look awesome!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Spring Valley, California

An overall Happy experience. Brought in my SL500 to have an aggressive tone and they installed the flowmaster super 10s. They were very professional, very accommodating and patient with a noob like me. Sitting in the lounge while waiting for the car was great because you could just get into conversation with people who actually are in the know about cars and exhaust. Everything turned out well and the price is very fair. I love this place and may just come back to sit in the lounge and maybe learn a thing or two. read more

Highly do not recommend this shop. The dude on the phone is rude and refused service. I was just trying to ask him nicely to go down on the price at least some type of discount since it's not cheap getting a catalytic converter and I explained to him I'm a yelp user who is shopping around I am just trying to get an estimate I am comparing prices. Long story short he was just cocky and rude over the phone and overall unprofessional. read more

This exhaust shop is who I have trusted for 20 years. They did my exhaust on my Superbird in 1999 and did a great job then. I recently took a 1960 Ford Starliner to them because of their great work and craftsmanship. I specifically rebuilt the car's motor and installed the headers so they could build the new exhaust system on it before I trailered the car out of state. Superior work! I just have to get the body work done to match their stellar efforts. March 2018 January 2019 I brought them another car to install headers and build a custom 3" dual exhaust on a 1963 Ford Thunderbird, and once again they did superior and quality work. I intentionally trailered the car the day I purchased it in Phoenix out to their shop before I returned back to Oklahoma with the car. The entire staff helped get me back on the road due to the time crunch I was under- they go above and beyond in every aspect of customer service! My wife didn't get why it was so important they do the work until she say their craftsmanship on her new car. The ONLY place I will go for exhaust work... read more

Tried to get my exhaust done. The 1st time the girl there ordered the wrong headers so I could only get half of the work compleated... then I went back and some older guy behind the counter said he worked there, he would get me a price and never got back to me. I went back a week layer and again he promised he would get back to me the next day. Well we are at 4 days later now with no response. The guy that does the work on the exhaust seems to be pretty good at what he does from other reviews but this does me absolutely no good if They don't seem to want the business. I am posting this out of pure frustration. Can anybody give me any advice for another exhaust muffler shop. read more

best service from quality mechanics. they really care about your car and you highly recommend them if you have any exhaust or muffler needs

These guys really knocked it out of the ballpark. I came in to have my flex coupler replaced on my mustang and I was in and out in less than half an hour. They also spent a good ten minutes with me in the pit just to make sure that it was the flex coupler that was causing all the racket. I've honestly never encountered a more friendly, efficient, and professional staff than the ones at Ed Hansen's. They rock. read more

I use to live in the area of Home Ave, i think you folks may have been closer to El Cajon Blvd but you put a set of Doug Thorley headers on my 75 Chevy K10. After 20 years those headers are still working fine. Rust, for sure but no holes, i have never had a leak besides the usual header challenges which got easier with the locking bolts they came out with. You guys are tops! John in Encinitas read more

The staff is friendly and professional. Bummed, they had to turn me away due to certain circumstances. Oh well.

Honest. Fair price. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Clean facility. Brought in my C7 Corvette to install my Magnaflow Competition exhaust. They take time to make things right. read more

OK I needed a air fuel sensor added to my supercharged truck these guys have a wonderful facility with plenty of parking spotless clean they evaluated the options gave me a quote within five minutes, they have the parts in stock, and did the work in about 10 minutes and the price great.... these guys are worth the drive they know what they're doing and are amazing!!! read more

Had a stock cat-back welded together and installed. Everything went smooth and the price was fair. Thank you

No job too big! Not too many places can handle a muffler job on a rig like this. Thought I had to replace the muffler but instead just a new flex pipe and a couple of bands saved the day...and a lot of money too. Nice! read more

I brought a small project to them but ended up rejecting the work due to the high price quote they gave me to weld on a pipe. I originally paid $120 for a muffler delete with the exhaust tip and labor included, I cut this off my old car so I could have it installed on my new car and they want $108 to weld it?! How is it almost the same price just to weld this on as it was for the labor and material the first time around? I won't be going back hear again. They do decent work so I gave them 3 stars for that but they lost two stars for trying to overcharge me and they lost all future business from me and family. read more

Awesome staff!! Awesome shop! I Brought my 51,Belair here a month ago or so to have them redo my leaking/cracked exhaust. The staff here Were-very professional and was great in attention to detail explanations. Long story short Ed Hanson's muffler shop did a killer job on my ride. They fabricated a full custom exhaust front to back to fit my rides needs A +++++ work. The New exhaust looked like a came with the vehicle from the factory and the not to mention the great sound from the new Cherry bomb glass packs. If you are looking for quality work look no further this is the place to get any exhaust/muffler work done... Highly Recommend!!! read more

Absolutely amazing work. I have a 1978 Ford F-150, and needed an entirely new exhaust system. They were able to get me in the same day I called. They were so patient and showed me all of my options. They even took the time to pop on different systems so I could find the sound I was looking for. From start to finish it was the best customer service I've ever had anywhere. I've told everyone I know how great the experience was. read more

Hands down the most pleasurable vehicle repair experience that I have ever had. The Navy exchange automotive shop at 32nd street told me that I needed an entire new exhaust system from the manifold back. Brought it to Ed's, completely ready to pay over $1,000 and they inspected it and told me that I could replace one of my catalytic converter's instead of the entire system. The total was significantly less than what I expected to pay. Rebecca at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. Joe was awesome and shared freely of his extensive knowledge and made it pleasurable. Great conversation, fair price and terrific work has me back and running in less than 30 minutes. Without a doubt a terrific experience and I am proud to be the 100th consecutive 5 star review. Do great work for a fair price with a smile on your face and the world will beat a path to your door. These folks have it nailed. read more

This was a five star experience all around. Went here after having an exhaust problem after another place installed it. It was touching my bumper and actually melted part of the plastic. They found the problem and fixed it in less than 10 minutes. Joe was fantastic. We talked cars and fun roads to drive. Joe, and I can imagine all the people here, really know their stuff. I'll be back here for all my exhaust needs in the future and will recommend them to all of my fellow car lovers. They love what they do and it shows. Keep it up guys! read more

This place came with very high recommendations from several coworkers. So I looked them up online first and after seeing great reviews went for it and so very glad I didn't look back! Got an awesome quote to replace my stock resonator with and x-pipe so booked an appointment. Got there this morning a few clicks past 7am and waited. Promptly at 7:30am the roll up... Rolled up and the owner Ed Hanson promptly greeted me. We shot the breeze for a few and they pulled my car into the bay. Ed went over with me all the details while we were in the pit under my car. I also inquired about a custom cat back. He again gave me an awesome quote for a custom piped job and what mufflers he recommends, offering me several options that I could listen to at time of install just to be sure I would be stoked. I went with the x-pipe install for now and will for sure return for the exhaust!!! I can't remember the techs name who actually did the cut, fit and weld but he was awesome too and super fast. ( super fast cause he knows what he is doing). They got me done and out in about an hour and I tell you.... My Benz 350 coupe sounds AMAZING! That's even with stock mufflers to boot! Smashed off to work and enjoyed the euro melody all the way! I too now, absolutely recommend Ed Hanson Muffler to any and all that want custom work or repairs! So stoked that there are honest and sincerely friendly places like this. Make sure to check out all the pictures in the office! Some very nice hot rods! Ed and crew I thank you for your professionalism and super fair pricing for the craftsmanship! Keep it up! See you all soon for the mufflers! read more

On a whim looking for a straight up great muffler shop for my 97 F150 pickup and found this shop through Yelp. This place is just cool beans. No bullshit, great shop. They'll advise and Taylor the right muffler for you, custom retrofit and hand weld, fabricate your pipes to fit your car perfectly, and in the end set you up with what every customer honestly wants: the best product, for a fair price. They even do it with a smile..... One of the best. Period read more

Betty was seen by her regular mechanic- she received a front to back total check up. She needed a new muffler. The one she had, original twenty six year old one was done- cooked. Bad, really bad- gads! I was referred to Ed Hanson and super glad I was. I called and spoke with Rebecca at length. She is a super cool person; explained everything muffler to me. I didn't want a basic muffler; I wanted one that my car would perform better. My car is a 1990 Honda Civic Hatchback- first real car and she is still going strong. The muffler I bought for Betty is amazing, not top of the line, better then the basic muffler you can buy. Wow, what a difference and the performance is amazing. These guys are the real deal, they believe in what they do and worth coming out to see them. read more

In and out in 30 min. Great folks here. They are busy which is actually a good thing. They don't price gouge like most people in the automotive industry in SoCal. The techs are pleasant even working in a baking hot bay on a 80 degree day. Awesome experience, I will be back! read more

Hello everyone, fellow yelp reviewers I have a 1999 F350 super duty 4X4 and I just purchased it without a catalytic converter it had been stolen and the previous owner gave me a great deal. So I start to check around and I start to realize this is expensive and very hard to find and ford no longer makes them and the after markets are made and shipped to 49 states guess which one they don't ship to yes California. I call and this gal answers her name is Barbie, very pleasant, helpful and just a pleasure to speak to. I explain my problem she says "hold on let me check the inventory" I'm surprised that they even would have it ! So she says yes we have it, I about fell down anyway, I make an appointment for the next day. I head down there they took me right in installed it in about 45 minutes, I met the owner Ed Hanson, one of the nicest most sincere person you would ever want to meet. While I'm waiting to pay he noticed I had a check engine light was on so he takes it upon himself to start checking out the issue, I tell you if you ever need any type of exhaust problem go no further Ed and his team are top notch mechanics and some of the sweetest down to earth, honest people you'd ever want yo do business with, thnx gain Ed and Barbie from Victor and that Ford F350 4X4 super duty. read more

I brought my 2010 Lexus ISF here..... I just couldn't get myself to fork over $2k+ for an off the shelf cat back system so to the internets I went, looking for a solid shop to build me something custom that suits my car and what I want performance and sound wise. Ed, is one of the nicest men I've ever met, from the second I walked in to the second I drove away, nothing but the absolute best service, answering all my questions, and taking me under my car to show what they would do and why. When I picked my car up I was pleasantly surprised at the sound, its aggressive but not annoying, loud but with a great tone. The craftsmanship in this system is better than brands you can buy and they painted the system black to match the underside of my car. Whether you drive a blown 56 ford pickup or a luxury sports car I'd highly recommend Ed and his team for any job. These types of shops just don't exist anymore. read more

Hats off to Ed, Kevin, and Barbie... These guys make you feel right @ home ( part of the family ) Kevin went over exactly what I was looking for on a performance Cat / back exhaust, and it came out perfect! Barbie was super sweet and did awesome interacting with me while paying for the exhaust service. The owner ( Ed Hanson ) even made the effort to make sure I was getting well taken care of. The total bill even came in $50.00 less then quoted on the phone.. How often does something like that happen? Nice job Ed Hanson's Muffler shop!! read more

I want to thank Kevin again for fixing a stubborn leak after I installed an axle back for my Mazdaspeed 3. This review is over a week old to see if the leak would come back but all is good. Kevin is a modest guy and Rebecca is the definition of good customer service. They hooked it up and wouldn't trust anybody else for exhaust etc. work. Thanks Ed Hanson's! read more
