Got some work done on my '18 rcsb GMC. I had some bad mufflers when I bought the truck and knew it needed replacing. On May 13th 2022. Left said truck above to get a complete new set up put on. New mufflers, new pipes, new tips at 8:30 a.m until 4 pm. Guys tells me $750 cash or $835 debit card. I say cool cash will work. Picked it up around 3:30pm that day. Fast forward 06/02 and I hit a pot hole and minor rattling. After a while the rattling got louder and specifically on the exhaust. That evening I checked and the bracket holding the mufflers together was broken/snapped. I was like man it happens. Brushed it off. Continued to inspect it and felt airflow on the back muffler above the piping. Sure enough the welds were done by a high school kid which is the only thing that makes sense. I was ok. Maybe they just didn't inspect after completion and let it go. I inspect the other pipe and they didn't even weld it at all at the top portion. I was beyond angry and frustrated that this "reputatable" shop has taken advantage of my business and sent me on my way with shotty welds. If the bracket never broke, I would have never discovered it. We had an agreement if I take cash he will knock of the taxes and he will honor their work if anything happens. On 06/03 I take my truck to this shop to inspect them himself as this should not be phone conversation. I get off the truck and ask him if he remembers me as I was not provided a receipt at the time of completed transaction. He says no. What can I do for you? I explain to him what happened and he tells me to wait in his lobby. I attempt to show him my photos of the work instead he wants to see it, so it goes on the lift. He inspects it and says what do you want me to do? I tell him and he says we will honor it but we don't know who did it!? I tell him you did the work it was 3 weeks ago today. No we wouldn't have done that work. I inform him what I paid and a few conversation points at the time of purchase and then he remembers. So I wait and inspect the work while its being done because now my impression of his facility has been shot. I ask the tech. Are you "patching" or putting new fittings and before he answers the owner says "sir stop talking to the techs, there is a waiting room inside, if not I will drop your truck." I say wow are you serious I am asking what work is being done as the welds were not completed at the time of purchase. He continued to threaten I will drop your truck. I'm going to drop your truck. So instead of making a situation worse. I walk away and let him finish. After job is done he is reversing my truck and gets out and says " we're square." Its fixed. I tell him I dont know what's fixed. He said well sometimes when the coupling and the pipe fit snug they just don't weld the top of the pipe. I was confused and then reminded him that no air should be seeping out at any point in time. After I said that. His response was "I don't want your business, your bad business take this mkr to Schaffers or another Flannagins." The point of the review is to remind people to double check what you are paying for. Some people have offs days, barely learning or simply messed up. But when a well known business does shotty work, don't acknowledge the customer as he has already paid, or listening to what he is having problems with is BS. I had to set time from my work day to leave it, inspect it, and hopefully not go back for a 3rd time later. Ownership did not say we apologize for the work, we acknowledge where we cut corners or anything. But I honestly think these welds are horrendous. Thanks for reading. read more

The price was great and the issue corrected. Flanagan's has been around for a long time and they treat their customers in a caring manner. read more

horrible Service. Did a shit job and blamed me for it. They try to run me out for bringing it back in to have them look at it. They broke the bracket that holds the muffler. he tried to tell me I took it else where and was having them Fix it. But lucky for me the guy who actually worked on it was there and remembered Me. That old white man is a pos. read more

My truck suddenly became very loud, like I had no muffler. I suspected that the exhaust pipe had slipped loose from the header (the pipes coming from the engine). Since the gap in the exhaust system was before the muffler, my truck sounded like it had "straight pipes". That loud and mean sound would be great if I was a teenager, but my teen years are at least four decades behind me. I pulled into to Flanagan's and was immediately greeted by a young man who asked how he could help me. I described the noise. He replied, "No problem, let's get you on the lift - - - this will be an easy fix." When I mentioned that the muffler might be bad, he said that it probably was OK because this truck was originally equipped with some technical stuff I didn't understand. This would have been a chance for them to take advantage of my ignorance of exhaust systems. Instead, we got the truck on the lift; they quickly adjusted the exhaust pipe to its proper position; and tack-welded it in place to ensure it would never slip loose again. They had the truck fixed in less than 10 minutes! They only charged me $20.00! I drove QUIETLY away! I recommend these folks to anybody needing quality, friendly exhaust work! read more

I was told when my truck's catalytic converter went to pieces that debris had plugged my muffler. Flanagan's checked my exhaust system for no charge and told me it was fine. The problem was a bad MAP sensor. They just earned my trust as an honest business. read more

Whenever I have to move to a new town, I worry about finding a mechanic I can trust who won't try to overcharge me or sell me more than I need. I just happened to find Flanagan's while looking for a quick weld on a bicycle frame. I'm glad I did. They're honest, professional, and very friendly. read more
