My 2006 Honda CRV had rusted out pipe by catalytic converter, missing heat shield, and apring bolts. They took me as a walk-in. The price for the parts and labor was phenomenal!! I was in and out within the hour. Highly, highly recommend!!!! read more

Exhaust work. I called Lou's and they had me in right away. Evan took my call and took a look at what was needed. I was out of there with work done within a half hour. Evan was also more than willing to answer all of my questions without hesitation. He also shared that he started there thirteen years ago pushing a broom-love that. This guy should own the place! Thanks for the great service, I highly recommend as this is my second time in. Elaine read more

brought my car in for 6 in of pipe. heard "make some money off him! x2" in the lobby. got quoted for 600. manager seems like he wants to quit and is forced to work there like a baby. I recommend you do NOT come to this location, Derry is better. read more

Giving a quote for my exhaust, best thing was, I was told it could be split into two seperate jobs, at NO EXTRA COST. Had first job done today, charged me his quoted price. Not interested in screwing anyone over. Repeat customers and word of mouth keeps him busy. read more

Had a great experience. I just showed up. The owner told me they were under staffed today and it would be a while for him to take a look at my Explore. With in an hour of leaving it he call me and told me the problem and what the costs would be. 2 hours from start to finish. I realize it doesn't always work this way but very pleased with the customer service and service of my vehicle. Thank you Lou's Mike G read more

Great experience. Stopped in @ 9:15,to have the exhaust on our 2010 Ford Edge checked out. Issue was identified,,quoted and I was out the door by 10:00am. Reasonable price awesome service! read more

Called at 11:30am on Thursday afternoon and they were able to fit me in by 2:00pm the same day.

I highly recommend this company. They provide excellent service without the need for an appointment, and their prices are very reasonable. I am extremely grateful that someone referred me to this company. read more

Brought my car today due to the loud noise from my exhaust. Took me right away and brought me under the car to see where the leaks were. Gave me the option to fix one spot or the two. The second spot wasn't as urgent. But given the option to have them both done. I decided to have both done do so I don't have to worry about it. The mechanic was so fast and detailed in what he was doing. I watched him work and was so impressed! It took less than an hour and my car is running so quiet now! I highly recommend this business! I will be back if I ever need work done again! read more

Pretty disappointed with my exhaust I got here, I thought I would have gotten more then a couple of years out of it, instead it rusted entirely causing holes throughout. Not worth the money spent. read more

See all

They inspected my exhaust and showed me what work was needed, and that it would cost $80. Completed the repair in under 20 minutes. Very honest shop that does quality work and isn't trying to screw you over with repairs you don't need. Highly recommend! read more

Been here twice already. Both times for an exhaust repair on two different vehicles. Extremely happy with the repairs and cost. I wasn't overcharged and I wasn't given the upsell treatment. I found out they do inspections and repairs. I'm going to start bringing my cars here for repairs now because I'm impressed with the value and service. Its run like a neighborhood shop, that being said, if you're expecting customer service like you see at a big dealership shop, don't let that discourage you. read more

Completely unhelpful over the phone,didn't know I was a mechanic whose daughter's car is 100 miles away and I needed a legitimate shop for a Cat change. BOOOOOOO! read more

worst place to go to don't ever go to Lou's custom exhaust. They will screw up your entire exhaust system to the point where you cannot find parts to replace the exhaust yourself because they screwed up. When they welded my exhaust, which was less than a year ago, they put a new muffler on and it's already got a hole right at the bead where the welders, so now I have to replace the muffler all over again but I'm doing it myself because these guys suck so bad they won't even bother with you and they don't even bother helping you out. They would rather screw you over then fix what they screwed up. read more

Im only writing this review as my buddy was going to go here and i had to remind them of my exhaust fell off on the highway after 2 years. Then they offered to give me an estimate to repair it. 2 years, just 2 years... This place sucks, stay away. read more

Lous did an awesome job with installing a new exhaust on my Silverado. Finally I can let the V8 sing! Very happy with the work. They were quick and very helpful. I would definitely come here again in the future read more

After reading everyone's reviews, this place is a complete joke. Took advantage of the fact that I was a women and alone and they charged me $300 for an exhaust repair that lasted only 30 min. Everyone else's reviews on here are proof that they took advantage of me. On top of that I drive an '09 Infiniti, and it turns out I need a new wheel bearing. The guy at Lou's quoted my repair and said it would cost $1000. I figured, if I pay this I'm an idiot. I called up the INFINITI dealership and they quoted the repair at $400. Lou's Custom Exhaust is a complete robbery and took advantage of me and basically stole my money because I had no knowledge of how much an exhaust repair would cost. The owners, the mechanics are all a bunch of thieves and I do not recommend going to this place. read more

Been Having Lou's do my exhaust work in Manchester forever. Didn't know there where any other places according to everyone i talk too!

There is Only One Great, Custom Exhaust and Muffler Shop in New Hampshire and it's here!!! Honest, friendly, reasonable prices, reliable and professional work performed every time my car is in their hands. read more

Great place, walked in, they fit me in last minute, great price and quality work. Will be back if I ever need exhaustcwork again.

Had a great experience bringing my 4-Runner in for a muffler upgrade. The staff is excellent as well as their work. I would highly recommend Lou's to anyone wanting quality work on their vehicle done right. read more

STAY AWAY. Cut out my catalytic converters and never replaced them... which is ILLEGAL. I went in last year to get 2 flex pipes done and nothing else. Just brought my car into another Lou's because they had rusted out and the guys in this shop (they're all franchised) tell me I have no catalytic converters! Walked me in to show me... Sure enough they're GONE and replaced with straight exhaust pipe. How does an EXHAUST specialty shop put an illegal exhaust system on a car? "Probably just got lazy and didn't put them back on" this guy says. $600 later and I'll repair the damage this place did to my car. read more

Took my volvo a couple weeks ago due to the check engine light being on. He said and swore that it was the catalytic converter and that it needed to be replaced in order for the light to go off... $500. Got my car back the next day and the light was still on and the issue was not resolved. Took the car again for them to see what warranty was present for their work. WITHOUT their authorization they replaced other parts on my car and charged me $700 for the car thermostat which was perfectly fine. $1,200.00 later and my car was still not working. I took the car to a third party to have them look over what was "fixed" and none of it was necessary. Do not trust these guys with your car or your business. i DO NOT recommend them in any capacity. Think twice before taking your car there or else. read more

The guys that run the show here are kind of unprofessional but they know what they are doing ! It doesn't seem legit with the way they handle customers compared to other places but I'd recommend repairing your exhaust here ! They are good with welding and do nice work ! My exhaust piping literally rotted before it got to the muffler part so my truck was loud as hell driving without a muffler basically!! A brake place tried to scam me thinking I didnt know what I needed! Right up the road at a brake place they said it's gonna be about $400 to repair the exhaust and they were offering off topic services I thought that was bullshit so I brought my truck to lous as a walk in they did the work exactly how I wanted it and they charged me $80 . This is the spot where you need to take your cars for exhaust repairs! read more

I usually deal with the Kingston NH location and they are 5 stars all the time.. They were busy and I had an immediate need so I drove out to Manchester for a leaking flex pipe. Staff was not there at 8:00am when they were supposed to open.. They opened around 8:05 and had my car in on the lift by 8:10. They charged me $360 to replace both front flex pipe sections. My car was completed and back outside by 8:50am.. While I appreciate the quick turn around time, I felt the charge was pretty high for 40 minutes of work.. Even a very high quality flex section is $60 at most.. So I paid $240 labor for 40 minutes on the lift?? They told me its a flat fee of $180 per side. (I've paid $100 per side in the past at Kingston) So.. Quickly done, but not a good value. I'll make sure to use Kingston next time. read more

We had a muffler noise., drove over expecting they would tell us we needed a new muffler. They put our vehicle on the lift said it needed a couple of welds and started work right away. Fixed a rattle as well. Fair price and friendly staff read more

I came into the shop today to replace a muffler that failed inspection. First of all, there was no one to greet me besides a little girl with a puppy. After waiting, a mechanic came out who could not even give me his full attention. He was more concerned about the children running around and joking about the puppy POOPING in the garage with another mechanic. The mechanic would not look at the paperwork about why the vehicle failed inspection. He also asked me for my keys three times, which I was trying to hand him but he wouldn't look at me. Finally, he took me under the car to show me the underside. While he's showing me, one of the girls came under the car with us, and again the mechanic stopped talking to me and directed all his attention to the girl. While I'm UNDER the car with him. He tells me I need more work than I know I need done, because of the paperwork I had that he would not give me the time of day to look at. After all of this, he gave me a price 3x more than the competition for additional work I didn't need. I wish I could give a 0 star review for the waste of time I went through today. read more

This is an awesome shop for just about any kind of car care! They are reasonably price and efficient.

So lucky we were referred here. They charged us $120 for an exhaust repair that the dealer quoted for $1500. The repair was preventing us from passing inspection and I was dreading how we would afford it. Work was quick and their quote was true. Would definitely recommend. read more

Just went in to Lou's Custom Exhaust and legit had the best service. As a female I often hate dealing with car related things, but felt comfortable and at ease here. They took my car in right away after I was late for my appt. They looked at it and fixed the issue right away at hardly any cost. I am extremely happy with their level of service and the way they fixed my car. I highly recommend them and would trust them with my car any day. I also noticed every customer in there was happy and satisfied with their service and the pricing. The shop manager who runs the place is friendly and gets your car in right away with great mechanics working on it. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Lou's! read more

The exhaust pipe between the muffler and catalytic converter broke off yesterday and after finding Lou's on google, I figured I'd give them a try. I called and after explaining what happened, they told me to bring it in and get a free estimate. I was so worried they would tell me it was going to cost about $1000, but they told me it was nowhere near that and they could fix it right then and there. As I sat waiting, the receptionist was very friendly and we spent time talking and laughing. The work on my car took about an hour or less and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. I would highly recommend taking your car to Lou's for not only exhaust work, but for any of your automotive needs, as they are a full service garage. A+ read more

I came in to get a vehicle inspection, and left after waiting for the better part of an hour to find out if they could.

Great service, friendly people went in there with one thing in mind wanted my truck louder. And sure enough it is much louder now with a deep rumble. I would Definitely go back there no question about that. Also warranty their product which is always a plus read more

This place is the best. Did my wifes muffler, did my sons muffler, my sons brakes..... there is not much these guys dont do. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Place may not look the greatest but their work is phenominal. read more

I went in there with an exhaust that I had tied up so I know what was underneath the car. when I first went in he charged me $100 over what he promised me it would be said it would be 500 at worst case for a true dual exhaust tried to charge me 6 never put the flex pipes back on that were on the car when I drop it off told me it would cost extra to have them put on and then exhausted self rattled like crazy the car wasn't ready when they said terrible customer service read more

They did a great job with my car! I needed a few things done! Quick and easy repair and very affordable! Thanks guys!

Great shop overall! I called the night before saying I'd be in for the morning and they took me right away. I was lookin to get my brakes replaced and the guy who has been there for 40ish years helped me out. He brought me over to educate me on why I needed certain products instead of just telling me what I needed. I really appreciate that when I get my car fixed. Love this honest hard working shop! Highly recommend to people around the area. read more

Great service! The people here are wonderful! The prices are really fair and they never do anything without your knowledge and consent first. They are always willing to explain everything thoroughly to you before they start working on your car and they even go as far as to show you what needs to be repaired, so you aren't feeling like you're being ripped off. I have sat in the waiting area the whole time I am waiting for my car and the receptionists are so welcoming and chat with you so you don't feel like you have to stare at your phone for an hour. They also offer so many options for people who are into racing/rallying/etc. I highly recommend this place! read more

I went back to lous to have a oxygen sensor put in the sensor they installed was defective I talked to the manager and explained to him that my check engine light had come on again after I left he told me to bring it in and they checked it saw that it was a defective sensor and ordered a new one and put it in for me without any hassles now that's what I call customer service at its best good people here I highly recommend them read more

Great customer service, the guys do a great job, with great quality work and they won't try to sell you things you don't need. Highly recommended read more
