Took my 57 in for a much needed update- Rick ran all new 2 1/2 inch exhaust with a crossover H Pipe and new Flowmaster mufflers. He dumped each side under the bumper, tucked up in the corner. Couldn't be happier with the job they did over here! Rick suggested moving the mufflers back some and what a difference on the noice inside the car. If you want your hot rod done rite, go see Rick and crew over at Howard's! These guys are just the best. Thank you again Rick. read more

Service here is top notch, as soon as I pulled up I was greeted by Rick, who gave me a place in line. After a short wait he pulled my car in and gave me the bad news about my broke muffler housing. After explaining I was on a budget. Rick and his team gave me Several options. I picked my option and they got the job done. No hassle, no games, no problems. And the price was unbeatable by a long shoot compared to other shops. I would highly recommend HOWARDS MUFFLERS AND HITCH. You are guaranteed to get your moneys worth. Very high quality work and hospitality. read more

I recommend this Muffler shop to everyone. The owner Rick is very helpful in explaining everything and letting you make your own decisions on what to do for your vehicle. read more

Rick and his crew are amazing, I've been restoring a 1950 chevy styleline not only did he split my manifold that most other shops wouldn't touch he also welded on new exhaust pipes to fit on my existing setup. He also fabricated a hard to replace filler tube that wasn't available anywhere! He's straight up and priced just right! I've always lived by the motto "Good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good" But his work is excellent and affordable! I'll be sure to use his services again for my next project! read more

Howard's was recommended to me by another mechanic in the area, which I think is a compliment in itself. I was very impressed by Rick's knowledge and honesty and I felt like he was willing to help fix my car for the best price possible. At no time, did I feel he was trying to take advantage of me or try to upsell or suggest other things to increase my bill. At the conclusion of my service, he actually told me the amount I owed would be less due to something that he ended up not needing to do once he took the part off and saw inside of it. I think that shows an integrity that is rare to find in an auto mechanic these days. I would recommend Howard's to anyone looking for a mechanic that they can trust. read more

Service was super quick, quality of product and value of product was great. I believe Rick helped me out and was professional. I definitely recommend this shop. Thanks again for everything. read more

Incredibly happy with the work and service I received here. Brought my 1987 Toyota pickup in for a new catalytic converter after being recommended the shop from someone. I was greeted by Rick who was very friendly and immediately gave me the vibe that he knew his stuff. We chatted and he told me the shop has been there since the 1970s and it feels like it has, but in the best way. It's easy to understand why it's lasted as long as it has. Rick gave me a fair price and a solid timeline on when the part would arrive, when he would call me, and how long the actual replacement would take. He stuck to every deadline and followed through on every promise. He also noticed a problem with my muffler and brought me over to see for myself that it very obviously needed to be replaced. It was a no brainer to have him just do that too. Very satisfied with the experience and the results. read more

I was referred to Howard's by Pep Boys to spot weld a part I needed taken care of. I got there and Rick took care of me. The service was BEYOND amazing!!!

I can't express how grateful I am!! read more

It is so refreshing to have an honest, transparent, professional car mechanic. now, If only I could get Rick to, also become a construction contractor then I could finally stop getting ripped off lol.

Took my 2019 JEEP Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4x4 w/ 5.7 HEMI into them ... originally I was debating installation of a CORSA aftermarket Bolt-on cat back, but buying online and having installed would have been about $2,500 +/- {expensive as Fook} ... so I was recommended to see what Rick over at Howard's Muffler Shop could do for me ... well for $1,000 I got a complete Custom Install done ... Cat-back, Resonator/suitcase delete, new X-pipe, new MagnaFlow Mufflers, and Black powder coated pipe Tips. SOUNDS AWESOME !!! {Look in Company photo's ABOVE for my VIDEO to check out the SOUND !} Looks awesome ... get compliments from everyone ... I couldn't be happier, THANKS Rick !

Howard's gave me an inspection and estimate on the same day I first contacted them, then completed the work on another day 5 hours earlier than promised. They built a customized shield for the catalytic converter on a 2002 Honda Accord (unique layout that cat shields don't fit). The price was fair and they were highly competent for various approaches considered. read more

Howard's Muffler and Hitch - Lined up the dual tip exhaust on my 2022 Custom Trail Boss. - Auto Repair Near Me - Victorville, California

Yay! Another 5 star review for this wonderful establishment. First order of business is that they're open Monday-Saturday and closed Sundays and holidays. For example, this weekend they'll be closed Saturday and Monday for Labor Day weekend. Rick is an honest man with a Magic Johnson smile. He quoted me $65-$125 to fix my bent muffler. Dropped it off on a Thursday at 10:30AM and he was done by 2PM. Now my car has no more noises while driving and my tires are saved. You all know from my reviews I support small businesses and I will always maintain that mentality especially during these hard times. Thanks again fellow Yelpers! read more

After installing an aftermarket exhaust on my car, I found that it did not line up properly to my car. Any bumps in the road made me feel like the exhaust was going to break off. I brought my car to Howard's for a quote at the end of Wednesday. They lifted my car up, showed me what was going on with the exhaust, and showed me what they would do to make it right. I brought my car in Friday morning and picked it back up a few hours later. I am just blown away with how much better my car is to drive now. All the issues I had are completely gone and I can drive my car more confident that it is not going to break! Everyone I spoke with was extremely helpful, polite, and made me feel welcomed. There is a reason why they have 5 star ratings. Every aspect of their work proves they go above and beyond and do everything they can to make sure you are happy when you drive off. I look forward to coming back if I have any other tricky exhaust work I need done. read more

Well I wanted to put a more aggressive sounding muffler on my 01 Tundra and found this place on yelp, I saw how good of reviews it had so I figured you can't go wrong right? And they were right! Went early in the morning first thing when they opened up Rick greeted me and I told him what I was looking for and had me out in 45 min! Insane and I couldn't be more happy with the price and outcome! Thanks Rick I would highly recommend this shop. read more

Awesome place of business. Had some time to kill driving around for a muffler/exhaust place for my RAM. I believe his name is Rick. The first one I spoke to when I pulled up in the shop. Told him what I was interested in and how I wanted my truck to sound. Lots of knowledge this guy.Looked over my truck told me what he thought would work and the sound I was looking for. Then gave me an awesome deal. Came back the next day. Dropped it off in the morning, truck was done by 11 o'clock. Those guys are the best over there. read more

I brought my Jeep here from Big Bear to get a new muffler. Rick set me up and James did the torch work, Great service, great price, great people Let me say a few things about this great shop: 1. Shop is very clean, could almost eat off the floors 2. James is very courteous 3. I watched the entire process and was very impressed, when the old pipe was cut it immediately went out to the backyard bin, not on the floor 4. After laying the bead, James checked with a MIRROR to make sure it was a good bead 5. After it was all done, James sprayed on some silver paint to protect the welds from rust. All in all a very quality shop, quality people and I got a Veterans discount. I would come back here for all my muffler work in the future, and have cards for folks up here. read more

Awesome muffler shop. It came highly recommended. Reasonably priced and great customer service.

I have a 2021 Ford Explorer ST, I had been contemplating buying a Cat-back Exhaust system by Borla for months, the story starts now, the first part is that Borla offers 2 different systems for my car which has 2 different sounds that are louder than stock, and the second part is who would install it on my car for me, after many phone calls to at least 15 different Muffler/Exhaust Shops ustarting from the High Desert, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario thru Fontana into San Bernardino and also in Riverside, Rick the Owner Of Howard's Muffer and Custom Exhaust helped me pick the System that met my wants and even offered to put the stock exhaust back on if i was happy, not only am i happy with the Quality of the Exhaust by Borla the workmanship of the Employee's of Rick made my Exhaust system looks as if it could be put in a car show, Thank You all at Howard's Muffler read more

Supper friendly and helpful. Even took pictures for me of exhaust system for insurance claim. Got me back on the road in record time.
