My car needed an O2 sensor. They were able to get me in right away and took care of it at a fair price. These guys are great!

Went in on a very busy Friday morning and was fixed and out the door shortly after noon. Price was fair for same day quality service.

A more chaotic and unresponsive garage than I expected also. Don't kniw how they stay in business.

Great people and awesome service at a decent price. Took my classic BMW 530i there for an air-conditioning repair read more

Always great service and reasonable prices. I have taken my last three cars here for various repairs over several different occasions. They always hit their time estimates too which is very helpful because I now live in Skagit and still take my cars here. read more

You're not going to get serviced unless you sit there all day and wait. But the problem is, they won't tell you this. The weekend will go by, and you'll be without a car, when you could have rented one, by having been informed by them in the first place. read more

David and crew at Expert Muffler do brilliant and competent work. They do it for a MORE than a fair price to the customer. They are simply awesome. read more

Came in for an exhaust leak for my VW Gti and David got it all fixed up for about 90$ in less than an hour!

David and his mechanics provide excellent service with great competitive costs. I bring all my cars to Expert Muffler.

Fast fair and very trust worthy ,love Dave he has saved my butt many times . Thank you so much boy for a job well done again

Dave has never disappointed, been coming here since I've moved to Washington in 8-2020 and he has always been reasonable fair and consistent he's worked on all 3 of my vehicles but the latest was my 2010 Cadillac SRX headlight assembly replacement definitely took my car over the top highly recommend Very reasonably priced read more

See all

The service was wonderful the owner was great I was well taken care of love the place

I have been taking my Toyota Tacoma here for the last 7 years. IMO, Dave has always shown integrity and reasonable assessment. I appreciate that he does not push for repairs that are not necessary.. Because they are so busy , best to call ahead to determine when you can get your car serviced. Don B read more

I've had several major and minor repairs done here. The price is always fair. The work is complete & I've never felt cheated. The small entry is always packed with cars but don't let that shy you away, they are also pretty quick getting things done. read more

I never write reviews, but the service I got here definitely deserves 5 stars. Brought my GMC Sierra in to have the single exhaust replaced with custom dual exhaust. The owner, David, ordered the parts based on my word that I'd be in the following week. He just said bring it by anytime. I like the "old school" way of doing business. The quote for the parts and labor was also far better than the big muffler shops in the area. I arrived in the late morning and David had the truck finished up by mid afternoon. I couldn't be happier with the work done and I'll definitely be bringing my Mustang rally car build in for the exhaust install when it's ready. read more

I went in and mr Chan took care of everything! He was quick, helpful, and my car works great. Definitely recommend him and I am definitely going back. read more

David is Not trustworthy, always remember to get a written estimate because they will over charge for cheap parts and quick labor, replacing a sensor that's located under the car does not cost over 100 dollars, highway robbery and a WASTE of time, go to Midland Automotive instead best service in town and trustworthy professionals. read more

So I have just minor maintenance to do on my car, went to a number of places and not a lot of them could do the job at least in a reasonable price. Went to this shop and they found the problem real quick, keep in mind I went to a few others to tweak out some issues so I'm only here for some fix up on my exhaust. It's unnecessarily loud and I knew there was a hole in my exhaust, just didn't know where. For 200 to fix a flex pipe, and now can't even hear the engine from outside. I think it's fair. Not often you see the owner of an establishment getting down to the dirt to do the same work as their employees. Def recommend to check this place out. Just keep in mind it's always busy and packed with cars but just go in their office and give them a chance read more

I had a leak and I needed to get it checked out before leaving on a trip. They got me in and out all fixed up in less than 2 days. They were really easy to work with, nice, and a fair price. Definitely recommend. read more

Took my Ford F-150 to the Ford dealership in Lakewood. The diagnostic alone was $150. They said I needed a new radiator hose, tune-up, and some other stuff that amounted to basically an arm and a lung. My best friend suggested I take it to this shop, even though he said they're busy. And I see why. Dropped my truck off around 930 in the morning. Dave called me in the afternoon and gave me a quote and said it'd be ready the next day. 1000 the next day, my truck was ready. This shop not only saved me more than half of what Lakewood Ford charged me, but the truck's issues were fixed and the customer service there was great. I'm definitely going back to this shop again for my future car maintenance needs. read more

I'll always bring my car to Dave he's the most honest mechanic I've ever met in my whole life he has saved me so much money I will always bring my car there and recommend him to anyone read more

The owner will replace older parts to make more $. remember to always ask for written estimate with exact parts or he'll lie about it. This is a dishonest business. read more

David and his mechanics are great. I wouldn't take my vehicles to anyone else. His prices are reasonable but best of all...he's honest. Theres been plenty of times I took my truck to him and he told me "if I do it, it will cost you more...but you can easily fix it yourself for cheap"...and actually showed me how to fix it and sent me on my way. He's even fixed things that he noticed was wrong while fixing other issues, and never charged me extra. I had a new motor put in my vehicle by a different mechanic and David found all the issues that were half-assed done and went thru with a fine toothed comb. A job that would have cost me $1000 plus...he did it for a fraction of the cost. Great guy, great shop, and great crew. read more

Been here twice now and will keep coming back. Just had my car towed here for a water pump replacement after a shop in Redmond wanted to charge me more than twice what Expert quoted for the same job. Fast, efficient, and more importantly ETHICAL. read more

David replaced timing cover , chain, water pump and pan gasket, on Dodge pickup, In 1 day . Runs perfectly. Customer satisfaction is high

Only great things to say about this mechanic! We have taken my car FROM other mechanics TO David's TWICE because we were being overcharged or felt taken advantage of- and David has always been upfront, more than fair with cost, and very knowledgeable. I highly highly recommend. We will only use Expert Muffler from now on. I get a sense of peace knowing my car is being worked on here. read more

These gentlemen were no nonsense, they quoted me way lower than elsewhere and were prompt and helpful. If you want car work done well without any attempt at overcharge or upsell, this is the place for you. read more

My brakes had been squeaking for a couple weeks so I took my Mazda3 to Les Schwab where they quoted me nearly $600 for new rear breaks -- I wanted another opinion so stopped by Expert. I drove past it the first time because there were so many cars out front and it's not much to look at, but so glad I gave it a shot -- great, friendly, quick service -- got my brakes taken care of in record time for a fraction of the cost. I'll be back! read more

"The more fancier and high end the appearance a place is, the more SHITTIER, & DISHONEST their service will be!" As for this place, it doesn't look too much of a high end place, but the service & HONESTY from David is what every customer deserves when dealing with any inconvenience with their car. I found this place 2 years ago and was just tired from all the shitty dealerships and all the other autoshops. . Took in my 02 Escalade for the fuel pump and gasket cover to be replaced. It was pricey for everything, but the price was to get it fixed ONCE!! Dealership services and other autoshops charge abundant money just for the diagnostic. When they get to your car, they charge you so much it feels like they keep your car for a few hours just to reset the code then give it back to you. Three days later more stuff gets worse and you're back at their shop throwing them more money to those greedy fuckers! NOT THIS PLACE! This autoshop do the job once and thoroughly!! If you think it's too much to get your car fixed ONCE, then you might as well go to another shop that will eat your money up like vultures and leave you coming back to their greedy asses. Take my word for it. When you first pull in, it might not feel welcoming or look comfortable to be at, but the service and HONESTY from David and his buddy mechanics are superior! Best place for someone who doesn't know Anything about what is wrong with his/her car. Please reviewers, Do not go anywhere else to get your car repaired. You have found the right place!! GET YOUR CAR REPAIRED ONCE WITH ONE ESTIMATE PRICE!!!!! Find it here!! Thank You David & your buddies. read more

If you read all the reviews you'll notice everyone saying this is an honest place with reasonable prices. You wont know until you actually experience it yourself. Then you'll understand and be a believer. read more

Love David and his crew. No diagnostic fees! Once they have figured out the problem they give you a quote and that's what you pay. They're typically quite busy but get the job done quickly. They have always treated my family well. read more

David is the best mechanic I have dealt with. Working on my Lexus ES 350 he was very thorough and efficient . He used OEM parts and was VERY reasonable with the price! I will use him every time and will recommend his business to everyone. His honesty is a breath of fresh air! read more

This is the best auto repair shop I have ever been in! Honestly, I have dealt with a lot of mechanic shops in the past including dealerships to Ma and Pa establishments, from factory recalls on new trucks and cars to body and drive train repairs on collector cars. David quoted me a price right there at the door in less than 10 mins! Not only was his quote right on but it was done on time on a Saturday! David is a very honest and good person and runs a very respectable shop. I dropped off my late Nissan Titan for a job and had to have my wife pick it up, my wife also found him to to be very kind, honest and informative. Oh yeah, did I mention that these guys did for what the Nissan dealership wanted $2800 to complete, they did it for $700! Thank you David for helping with my situation, you run a great company. You guys deserve all the recommendations I can give. read more

I commute to Tacoma from Seattle and one day I heard grinding from the rear driver's side. David barely moved the car and identified the problem as a brake drum. While those are a little pricey, his price was fair and he really saved me by getting my car in and done on the same the day. After that, no more nasty noise. read more

Firstly, I know nothing about cars so when my car sounded like tank driving down the freeway I knew something was up. Dave had a quick look and identified the issue within minutes. It was an issue with the tire thread. He gave me some honest advice about tires and replaced them for me. I didn't want to overpay for expensive tires so went with a midrange price....a couple of hours later, no more noise, no more issues. Really grateful for the honest advice!!! read more

Best auto repair place in town. Been going for 15 years, David is great, honest, funny and hard working.

I took my car in with a check engine light problem. David and his personnel took care of my Mazda 3 and fixed other issues I was experiencing. I am new in town and I am glad I found this autoshop for my repair needs. read more

I had a 2012 Countryman Cooper S All4 and I asked for a Muffler and Resonator Delete and they finished at the best time ever and were generous enough to still wait for me when I went to go pick up the car when I was all the way at JBLM with my sister getting groceries. It was already past their closing time but the manager or owner was still waiting for me and handed my key. Once I started the car it was up to my expectations and I was shocked with how amazing my car looked underneath and how it sounded. I am so happy and I will come back here as a daily customer if I have issues with anything but I will also recommend this place for people who are on a tight budget or wanna get their cars up to standard. Thank you. read more

Made an appointment for my car, took it in, and it sat there for two plus weeks without being looked at. One remark I got was "Oh, I forgot about it". Had heard good things about this place, But I sure Did Not have a Good Experience ! read more

Despite all the other good reviews on yelp, I was disappointed in my experience with the axle boot replacement on my car. At another auto shop, I had a free inspection. They told me the passenger side axle boot was cracking. I accompanied my friend to Expert Muffler to pick up his car. I asked the owner the cost of changing axle boot. He suggested I replaced the whole axle for $150. A couple of days later, I brought my car to Expert Muffler to have my axle replaced. I told them to keep the original part for me to see. The shop replaced the axle and then the owner showed me the original axle. At that point, he told me he was sorry that the axle had not been cracked. He said he would only charge me $150 (which he originally promised) instead of $180. Is it a question of honesty or a honest mistake? read more
