I stopped in, after noticing a leak in my 2004 Toyota Highlander's exhaust system. I was greeted, and advised that there were two customers ahead of me. My car was taken in a short while later. The technician brought me into the service area, and showed me exactly what the issue was. He quoted me, what seemed to be a fair price for the service. It was completed, and driving home was such a quiet ride DEFINITELY, check out Exhaust Works! read more

Quick & easy. Brought in 2 mufflers for my G8. Welded them up & did away with my blown out resonator

This exceeded my wildest expectations. I went there just expecting them to look at an issue and tell me what I already know. Instead, I got my exhaust issues fixed, on the spot, for a fraction of the price others quoted me. I was charged 250, compared to 1000 which is what firestone and NYB suggested. I was also spared from getting unnecessary repairs suggested by NTB and firestone as well. Now the runs better, no noise and slightly better fuel economy. Would repeat for sure. read more

Stopped in there this morning with an exhaust leak. They showed me what was wrong and let me know what needed replaced. The job was completed within an hour and price was real reasonable. The staff was polite and eager to answer are questions. It was a pleasure doing busy with them! read more

Bill is knowledgeable, but Bill us also a liar. He told me he had parts chromed that obviously weren't. He told me he would have them chromed again and they still had paint on them. Had to pay him just to get the parts back. I could go on and on. Shady to say the least. read more

Avoid this place at all cost, they use the cheapest parts, Especially on catalytic converters they use the cheapest low quality converters they can get their hands on. their customer service is the worst in Columbus they really show their lack of intelligence when trying to communicate. read more

Wow. These guys are great. I took my car to two other places and had work quoted at $2K for very different fixes. Took it to these guys and they spent 2 days on it. They communicated everything with me, tried a number of fixes/ideas, and when it was all said and done my car was running like new for $600. Highly highly highly recommend! read more

Just found out about this place today and luckily I did. My muffler was dragging on my way to get an oil changed. And stopped by a local jiffy to have them tie it up temporarily. Luckily the worker there told me about the place. Even though the tying it up temporarily didn't hold the whole ride there. I made it there. And it completely fell out at the shop's parking lot. The people were friendly, they actually showed me the problem and worked extremely fast. They really saved me today. Would recommend!!! read more

I'm so impressed with Exhaust Works! My brother recommended them. He said they will fix only what needs fixed and the prices are very reasonable. OH MY GOODNESS, that was putting it mildly! My heat shield was loose on the catalytic converter. When I asked if they could do a free check, he told me absolutely. I told him I wasn't sure if I could get it fixed today because money is tight. I was told, "If it's something they can just pull off and throw away, there will be no charge." The guy that checked it was Mike. He went to work looking, and before you know it he was torching and pulling off the heat shield. He got it all off, tossed it aside, brought my car down, drove it outside to me and said," There ya go!" I asked him how much it cost and he said, "Nothing, just send people my way." Wow!! I tipped him $20.00. This place is like the good old days of helping people without trying to gouge them. I highly recommend Exhaust Works and won't go anywhere else ever again! I am not only one highly satisfied customer, I'm still in shock for what they did, and for no charge!! read more

They got my car in for new exhaust right away, did awesome work. Very knowledgeable and went over everything. Very affordable and even fixed my husbands truck for free with a new muffler hanger. read more

JUST THE FIX !! That's all they want you to pay for. Bookmark this place for when you hear about anyone with a possible exhaust issue. The owner Wade is a no nonsense guy. Bring the vehicle in, and check in. That gets you in line. Now you can leave and come back, depending on the wait time, without losing your place in line. My experience... My wife's car reduced available power from 70mph to 20mph. That's called "Limp Mode" on most vehicles. It's scary for her to drive down the shoulder to the next exit she can get off the highway. That exit was close to my mechanic *Bonus. A co-worker recommended EW, but I would have to tow it from New Albany. I did call EW after my mechanic diagnosed(symptoms over the phone). Told Wade he said it was most likely catalytic convertor. "Did he SEE it?" No, he got the symptoms over the phone, just like Wade. He agreed with Limp Mode and CC, but wanted to look first. I had the work done at my Mechanic https://www.yelp.com/biz/hedrick-automotive-johnstown-2?uid=akKwxVHBlxDOoY4PV6lIPQ&utm_campaign=www_business_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) He found the CC was completely clogged, and one of the o2 sensors were out. He did me right, and honest, in a fast turnover. Fast forward one week and my mother in law mentions her car is exceptionally loud when she accelerates. Of course now my wife, who was borrowing her moms car when hers was in the shop, confirms this. Since then, she has an appointment at a Muffler shop chain on Monday. They told her that the exhaust system was original, and rusted through in many spots. $1000+ . Now was my chance to try Exhaust Works. Grabbed her car and drove it down on a Saturday morning. Quite literally the big yellow building at the corner of RT 104 and S. High St. Upon entry, I was immediately intoxicated with the aroma of a smoker. That's fine I was warned about it. Wade handed me a card, got me on the list, and estimated 90min until my turn. He encouraged me to call the number on the card if I needed to confirm they were still on time for my turn. I departed for some breakfast in Merion Village, and some browsing at a nearby bookstore. I called Wade and they would be ready for me in 10min. Sure enough it was as promised. Within minutes up on the rack, with it running, the mechanic waved me over. He pointed to a rusty broken connection. "Your flange is broken. It's a common thing. I'm going to make 2 cuts, and weld a new connection piece in. $110 plus tax. Is that OK?" I asked about the rest of the exhaust. He tugged on it to check the mounting. Brushed mild rust dust off the muffler area, and said "everything else looks good to go." I was stunned. He even repeated the mantra "We only fix what's broken". No upsell pitches for more money. 20min later he was pulling it out of the garage. I gladly paid(credit card) and thanked Wade for his honest service. There is no doubt that this will be my exhaust place in the future. I did talk to him about the other car, and he confirmed it was a comparable cost for all that needed done. Short version.. Sketchy neighborhood. Friendly, honest, professional service. Excellent value. I will take a folding chair to sit outside. read more

Exhaust Works - Muffler shop quoted $1K for new exhaust. EW fixed it for $110. #Honesty - Auto Repair Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Excellent. Said what they'd do and did what they said. Showed me the problem and fixed it for a fair price. Knew how to repair something, not just change a bunch of parts. read more

Just like they say, they fix the problem only. This was my experience at Exhaust Works. I was told it would be about 15 minutes to get a free estimate on my exhaust issue. Right around 15 minutes a technician came to take a look at my car. He showed me the problem, how he could fix it and how much it would cost. I had been quoted at $1,000 and told by my normal mechanic that I needed a whole new exhaust system. The technician at Exhaust Works showed me where two sections of pipe were rusted through and said he could replace those two sections for $250. It took him about 35 minutes and I was out the door with my car fixed. I would highly recommend Exhaust Works! read more

This place has been in business for decades and there's a good reason why! They always give a great estimate and won't try to upsell you other services if you really don't need it. Wish I could say the same for other places LOL. read more

Love this place! Exhaust work done. My car sounds amazing! Reasonable prices and the guy really knew what he was talking about. Barely had time to sit to wait on my car before my keys were being handed back to me. Straight and to the point and excellent service and work. Definitely recommend! read more

When everyone said no they said yes great customer service fixed my cars exhaust from manifold down to muffler

in the last few years, when I needed them they helped me. Wade and his crew do fantastic work and takes care of the problem. The cost is very reasonable.. read more

Toyota Direct quoted me over $800 for a repair job for my exhaust. Wanted to replace pipes, and do this and do that blablabla. The guys here lifted my car, took me under and showed me exactly what was wrong and exactly what I could do to fix it for less than $70. I called my father, is a very knowledgeable mechanic and asked him if what they were proposing was a smart decision and he said that it is exactly what he would do if it was his car! read more

I have had two separate occasions where Wade and his team has saved me hundreds of dollars. Both occasions I was getting my oil changed at a well known car repair shop and they recommended maintenance that didn't need done. Both times I took the work to Exhaust Works because I knew they would do it cheaper. Once they looked over the car they told me that nothing was wrong and instead of spending over $800 dollars I walked away without a bill at all. Love this place and can't believe anyone would give them a bad recommendation on the appearance of the shop etc. Keep up the good work and I love your honesty. read more

Will not help people and will not fix work that is not done properly. Whole place smells like cigarettes and is a run down dumpster of a shop. I recommend madd hatter mufflers took my car to be fixed there after these guys botched the job! Don't waste your time here. read more

The building is pretty sketchy on the outside and the waiting area reeks of cigarette smoke but the service was friendly and fast, and the price was great. They repaired my exhaust for $200 when my regular repair shop was going to charge me $1,200 to replace it. They even take you in and show you what's wrong with your car while it's up on the rack. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Great people willing to help you out for a fair price. Pleasant people to talk with while waiting and great staff. Would refer anyone needing exhaust work here! read more

I forgot to mention in my review that I am a woman. Have been treated honest and fair every time for more than 20 years. I've gone early when they opened, and gone late b4 closing. I trust this place. They even gave me a ride to a local restaurant where I was meeting friends while my car was being worked on, then I was dropped back off when the job was finished. I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I talked to someone at Exhaust Works on the phone. I tried to explain what was happening with my car, the guy I was talking to interrupted me and said bring it in we'll figure it out. I took my car in to the shop, and tried explaining the problem again, interrupted again, so I left my car there to have it repaired. I get a call telling me that the problem my car has isn't something that they can fix. I got mad, because if they had just listened to me to begin with, I wouldn't have wasted my time and their time. read more

They were just fantastic. They got me right in and and fixed the exhaust on my 2000 Toyota Corolla in record time. Great Shop.

The negative reviews are undeserved in my experience. If you don't like cigarette smoke go someplace else instead of whining about it. I'm a business owner, we take all 3 of my vehicles there. read more

Dealership said my Lexus RX300 with 300K miles needed a new flex pipe. Local mechanic said I needed everything from the exhaust manifold back (pipe, cat, muffler) Took it to Exhaust Works. They found a broken flange... $112 out the door!! Sounds like new. DON'T listen to the stealership, folks. They only replace parts instead of diagnosing the problem These guys are an honest shop. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

I moved here from Cincinnati. When my car ended work I took it to exhaust works, i had driven by a few times, they repaired my car for a reasonable price awe did quality work. I will take all my work there. As for Wade smoking I am not sure what it has to do with fixing your car. I was not looking to date anyone I need my exhaust fixed. read more

I would recommend this place 100 times over on satisfaction with outcome, customer service and price. But MOST importantly, price. I went to two other places in town to get price estimates on getting my muffler repaired, and both other places estimated a price almost THREE TIMES higher than Exhaust Works. I came in to Exhaust Works during my lunch hour, they raised the car up and showed me exactly what was wrong with it and walked me through exactly what he was going to do to fix it, and then he had the job done within 15 minutes. The repair costs under $120. Every other place in town will try to jack the prices up by saying that you need to buy all these different new parts, or have way more done than is actually necessary. My car is a bit older and has a bunch of miles on it, so I just needed a quick fix to get it running smoothly again, and that is exactly what they gave me. Thanks again Exhaust Works!! read more
