Good service, fast repair and very good customer service, definitely I would recommend this place

Wow! What a difference. I took my new-to-me 2001 BMW Z3 to Gene's to see what they could do about the horrible, droning aftermarket exhaust the car came with. They took a quick look underneath and proposed a solution that made a massive difference in the way the car sounds and with my overall enjoyment of the car. The work was done in only a few hours and the price was very reasonable. Much less than I was imagining it would cost to make the car sound good. It may be my imagination, but I swear the car's throttle response feels better too. read more

My 04 acura tl came lowered when I purchased it and I wanted the car this way because I am a car enthusiast and i host events and co host car meets and shows in los angeles county and high desert areas. Long story short my TL sounded quiet like the breeze and I needed some sound in my life. Long story short I took my vehicle were my brother recommended in el monte but that didnt work out too well. Parking is very difficult to find in their lot and didn't do the job right and paid $150 to get my resonator and muffflers deleted for some sound and it sounds great. But to my surprise when I went home the muffler tips were no where near the end of bumper as before. That sucks. So today I was looking around the area of Downey and found Genes Muffler! Gave me a great quote and the turn around time was swift. He replaced anything that was put on incorrectly by the previous shop and did the job right the 1st time. Great service and quick turn around is a win win thanks again. I'll be back for future alterations or mods to my exhaust. They extended my oem tips and they are right where they are supposed to be! Highly recommend and will give them my business in the future. read more

One of the few muffler shops around with a mandrel bender. That was the main reason I choose this place. I went to get a muffler delete for my LS430. Showed up right at 9AM and was able to get my car worked on immediately. Very friendly and allows you to go under and take a look at the welds/piping. Pricing for the service was $280, includes labor, piping, and tips. Highly recommend! read more

Brought our 2020 Durango 5.7 liter in with our new Stainless Works exhaust for Greg and Adrian to install. Took less than 2 hrs as we showed up early at 9 a.m. and were their first customers. .Adrian did a great job, he listens to any concerns you may have while installing the exhaust. Both guys were quick, efficient and did not scratch our car. I would highly recommend this shop for service. Also, they mandrel bend their tubing for good exhaust flow. I give these guys an A+A+!! read more

Good fair price for a simple muffler delete and Y pipe. The mechanic actually works with you on how you want your exhaust to look like and how the tips are centered. Great guy with an awesome attitude I really recommend this place. Gotta go back tomorrow, a muffler delete on a 4 cyl Toyota Camry was not a good idea read more

Called asking for help, was told time to arrive. Arrived was immediately waited on and job was completed very fast. Service and price was great read more

Came here as I have for over 35 years, Greg knows what he's doing. He was out the day I brought my PPV in and was a bit skeptical that one of his guys were gonna do my exhaust. Let me tell you his guy was as awesome as they come, very consiencious of the work. Genes is not the cheapest shop in town but cheap work is not good and good work is not cheap. I want it done right the first time! Thanks guys. read more

Took my Ram in for a Muffler. I was in and out in about 45 minutes. Great service. Fast service. Great price. Thank you for your help.

They did a decent job minus the chunk out of my new tires and scraped driver side rim when pulling my car on the lift, after I mentioned this to the employee all I got was a sorry and no compensation, smh, if you visit this place have Greg pull the car in, also I have a leaky header which they acted like they looked at but didn't wanna fix, I guess u get what u paid for, be prepared to go back, also did I mention they are closed on the weekend.. read more

I took my car to Greg at gene's mufflers in Downey , he installed a full exhaust system. I provided the flow masters and tips.

I had been researching a Magnaflow muffler for my Chevy HHR for a few months and today I called this shop. Greg told me to bring it by to confirm he had the right one. He did and gave me the best price I had found anywhere else and installed in less than an hour. I highly recommend you call this shop if you're looking for a muffler. read more

Brought my 67 Camaro project to Gene's. I met with Greg and explained what I wanted. I supplied him with two electric cutouts and two mufflers, he did the rest. Greg talked me into going with and X-Pipe rather than an H-Pipe since my engine has a large camshaft. He informed me some motors with big cams break the welds on H-Pipes. Greg made me an amazing true dual 3" system that sounds great behind my 489 Big Block Chevy. Very tight fitting to the floor, doesn't hang down. Thanks again Greg. Highly recommend bring your hot Rod to Gene's Muffler read more

Greg is simply the best. Beyond honest. Great service. Always gives great advice and options. Strenuously recommended

Omg all I can say is THANK YOU!!! A thief decided to steal my catalytic converter. Called around to different places and received outrageous quotes plus on top of that, days of having to wait for a part. THANKFULLY Gene's mufflers was able to get the part the next day and install it within a few hours for a reasonable price. While it was an unfortunate incident that brought me to them, grateful it worked out. read more

Greg took my 87 Fleetwood RV and totally redid my exhaust system, looks like it came from the factory! Highly recommend! Very reasonable also ! Thanks Greg ! read more

I called and went in and they were very responsive, considering I am female I didn't want to feel ripped off since I know little to nothing about cars and they were very helpful. read more

very honest business! they will check your car and tell you exactly what it needs and not try to sell you some thing you don't need.

This review is a long time coming. It is rare today to get great service but even more rare to find it at a fair and reasonable price. Gene's has been working on my cars since I was a teenager and I am now 55 years old. They did the exhaust on my first car back in the 80's, a 1968 Mustang and then over the years have worked on every car I have owned that needed exhaust work. Most recently over the last several years they did custom exhaust on my 58 Impala and 75 Scout II. There is no one better out there in my opinion. Old school service that you just don't find anymore. Back in the day Downey, Norwalk and South Gate were known for starting the hot rod shop craze in So Cal. Gene's is part of that history. Thanks Gene's! I'm a customer for life! read more

This place is lengen....wait for it....dary! They've done work on several of my cars through the past 20+ years I've done business with them. They've done work for me from my little Dodge hatchback, to my '65 Mustang, to my '74 Plymouth Duster. Mos recently, the Duster has a custom mandrel bent (that's important - the only shop that I know of with a mandrel bender!!!!) x-pipe exhaust. It sounds awesome! Their work is top notch and they don't give you any BS! It doesn't matter if it's a daily driver passenger car or a hot rod, they can serve your exhaust repair needs. read more

I want to give a well deserved review for this wonderful shop! My Dad's 2013 Ford Taurus had his engine light on and was told by a mechanic the code p0430 bank 2 and to take it to a muffler shop that does that catalytic converters done right since they don't do it. We went to a couple of muffler shops and was told a ridiculous amount to have it fixed and never told us any other options. I decided to give Gene's Muffler a call based on Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did! I spoke to a man named Greg and he told some estimate and was told that there's no more or rather harder to find an aftermarket for replacement part. Since it is very expensive, Greg gave us an option to try and save the catalytic converter. So my Dad went to the shop that same day and Greg performed himself of fixing the car and when it's done my Dad was so surprised that he was told it is okay (not sure what he did and how he fixed the car) and he didn't even let my dad pay any dues! I know his service is not free and we appreciate it so much since we don't encounter a lot of people like Greg nowadays. My Dad is very thankful to have found this place and such a blessing to work with Greg, he is a great honest person! He definitely earned our trust and our business if we need any help in our car with this issues! I highly recommend this place and to all my friends and relatives! Thank you Greg! Thank you Gene's muffler! read more

Great shop fast and reliable. Prices are reasonable and friendly customer service. Took my Tundra to get a weld on the catalytic converters since some thieves tried stealing it. Good thing is they failed taking the CAT. read more

Brought my Camaro in to get new pipes and mufflers on a Friday. Greg said it might not be ready till the following week, but said he'll try to get it done by end of the day. He went above and beyond to get my car back to me the same day and did an incredibly beautiful job on top of it. My dad has been going to this shop since I was a kid and it's for a clear reason; the incredible work they do and great service they provide. These guys have always and continue to be among the best in the business. read more

Greg is the best. And this is coming from some who is not easily impressed. Greg & Co. have helped me out significantly with 3 different vehicles. Multiple aspects of which go far beyond simple exhaust system work...although, if that's what you're in the market for, they are as good as it gets. Superlative quality, capability, AND price. Greg makes me feel bad he does such amazing work at such humbling charges. I could go on and on about how trustworthy specialists like him are so valuable and rare in a world built on on gleaning maximum profit from hapless customers of which we all are at times, but the fact I'm going out of my way to write this should speak all the volumes necessary. TL;DR: Excellence. read more
