First of all, nicest guys ever!! Secondly, they actually showed me the underneath of my car and what needed to be fixed and why it needed to be fixed. When they told me they had to replace the entire exhaust pipe, I was worried it would be close to the $2600 estimate Firestone gave me for the same thing, but it was only $480!! I couldn't believe it! I will definitely be going back. read more

Mex Mufflers on park st is an absolute rip-off. My 65-year-old mother took her car there, describing a loud noise on the freeway and lagging acceleration when pressing on the gas. Without even test driving the car to properly diagnose the issue, they claimed the muffler was the problem due to a slightly open seal and charged her an outrageous $360 for a new one. They even showed us the muffler, which was perfectly fine--just a tiny hole and a slightly open seal that could have continued to be used without any issue. They never drove the car after the so-called "repair" to confirm it was fixed, and unsurprisingly, the issues persist. It's clear they preyed on an older woman who trusted them, just to make a quick buck. Avoid this place at all costs--these people are untrustworthy and only care about taking your money. read more

changed brakes (pads and rotors) affordable and no issues with payment or the service after the fact. plus they have 2 year warranty on the pads read more

Fantastic service. I had some issues that the National muffler places could not fix. Mitsubishi suggested this shop. Fast, super friendly, Great Value and price. They do custom work that seems to be a lost art these days. I was blown away by the low price. If you need any exhaust work done, this is the place to go. 5 plus Stars read more

I have used Mex Muffler a few times, the guys are great that work there and they explain everything to you that needs to be repaired. I just can't say enough about them, I will recommend them all the time! read more

Will never go back! Traveled the day after having brakes changed and the wheel flew off on the highway. Thank the Lord my family didn't get hurt but caused $4000 in damage to our car. Had to find a tire shop and were told that the lug nuts weren't properly torqued. We contacted Mex Mufflers and the manager and owner would not take responsibility and repair our car. Be safe everybody! read more

These guys were great! I pulled up at 9am, they had my car on the lift in 10 minutes and had a quote for me. I also asked if they'd be able to install my rear springs which I had already purchased, they said sure (typical commercial shops won't let you bring your own parts)! It was all done in a few hours at a stunning price. These guys will actually REPAIR (weld) your exhaust instead of quoting you for replacing with factory/aftermarket parts which saves $$$$$. Not easy to find this type of skilled welding exhaust shop. Part of me wants to keep them secret, but they deserve good praise. read more

Update: I came back in for a simple repair - broken exhaust pipe hangers. They were courteous, I got right in, they fixed the problem and only charged $30. That's amazing. Thanks again!! read more

See all

I tell all my friends to go to Mex Muffler. The customer service is really nice and the mechanics take the time to explain the repairs needed and are transparent with pricing. They've even told me I could bring my own parts (don't ask me which ones because I don't remember lol) which would reduce the repair cost. I ended up going with their repair pieces each time which was pretty much market price. I check repair quotes with the internet and my car-knowledgeable friends and they've been impressed with Mex Muffler's repair prices. Something to know though is that Mex Muffler is first come first serve. I have gone first thing in the morning and been 8th in line and 1st and only in line and out in 30 mins. It's impossible to predict how long you'll have to wait so have a friend or Uber on standby to drop off your car. Thank you to the folks at Mex Muffler! You all are great! read more

One of the best prices around and they are fast and friendly. They do a good job I only had one issue but nothing big I would recommend this place to anyone well worth it. This is my honest opinion of this place. read more

After looking around for a shop to fix the rusted out bit in my exauhst line I decided on Mex Mufflers, and I'm glad I did! Got there right at 8 when they open, like other reviews suggested and my car was up on the lift in less than 5 min. I got to take a look at what was wrong and got the estimate right there,$90 total to replace the resonator. After I gave the go-ahead it was a super quick fix. In and out in just under half an hour from pulling into the lot to driving away. My car now runs nice and quiet! Quick, inexpensive and easy! And on top of all of that, the part has a 1 year warranty. I'll be returning if I ever have any other exauhst problems guaranteed. read more

These guys helped me out when I had an unexpected repair. They were professional and worked quickly to get me on my way in less than an hour. Friendly service, and very reasonable, too! I definitely recommend Mex Muffler! read more

Of all the places I have been in Madison WI this place was by far the most accommodating. I wasn't told to come back or book an appointment two weeks out or any of the other shenanigans I've encounter. I drove up because they won't answer the phone, told the guy what problem I was having and he took my car key and my car was in the air in less than 5 minutes. They explained what was wrong what should fixed now what could wait and the price was right. This is now my go to auto repair place. If they can't fix I'm taking recommendations from them. read more

I was treated very kindly here. Got my car right in. Showed me underneath the car. Fixed the problem in a hurry. Highly recommend this place for your exhaust needs. read more

Great work, and saved me money. Started the day at my dealership and was quoted a price at $1k for some simple muffler work. The guys at MexMuffler do solid honest work. The pricing is definitely more reasonable than your dealership. They do breaks and suspension too! I would highly recommend them! read more

Fantastic and fast service!! I was quoted at over $1000 for replacement of my catalytic converter elsewhere, so I came here for a second opinion. It was a slow afternoon and these guys had the car in and out in under 2 hours for $330, including a 1 year warranty. I could not be happier with the service. They invited me into the garage to look at exactly what was being replaced and why. This is how all garages should operate. Highly recommend. read more

Had a brake issue that I let go on much longer than I should have, took it in and was very impressed with their service. The estimate they gave me was the price I paid & was estimated for less repairs than I actually needed. Furthermore is was under the KBB price, and was informed to me to be a cheap price by another Madison mechanic. To top it all off they provided a free 1-year warranty that they even mentioned until after the repair. read more

Great place for all your exhaust trouble. They charge minimal markups on parts and do the work well. Definitely a high volume place, but they still take time to explain what the problem is. Fast. read more

Excellent price, very good work. I had them replace the muffler and tailpipe on my '71 Jeep. It wasn't more than 15 min. after I arrived and the Jeep was on their lift and Victor was giving me my options. They guys know their way around vehicles. Rest assured that the job will be done well at a great place. Would go back in a heart-beat. Follow up - I stopped by yesterday and had a random motorcycle part that needed some welding. Victor had it done in less than 10 min. and only charged me $20. Honestly, I freaking love this shop. read more

This place deserves the 5 star ratings it has received! Fast,fair,and profressional service...In and out in 20 minutes.The muffler itself price was $90 on line.Price charged for muffler and installation was $120(after $10 discount for cash payment). Very pleased,highly recommend and will return. Hint:arrive as close to 8am opening time as possible, and let them know you are paying in cash. read more

You let me down, Mex Muffler!!! I was all ready to give a great review for MM. Their oil changes are dirt cheap and they fixed my loud muffler. Muffle repair+oil change was less than $100. At my last oil change, however, they did not tighten the drain cap enough, and as a result, all my oil leaked out. I returned to MM with my complaint and they will contact their Chicago office to possibly write me a check as a refund for the oil change (I don't know if that will actually happen, or when). I've heard of these kinds of errors at oil change places before, but I didn't think it'd happen to me. I don't know if it's more or less likely to occur at a different oil change place, but I am wary of MM now. read more

After having good luck with exhaust work done by Mex Muffler, I decided to have my front suspension worked on. Sway bars, struts, and tie rods, all done quickly and at what I imagine was a good price. What was not done, was wheel alignment afterwards, nor was I informed that i needed to do that. One month later, my new front tires are totally bald on the outside, and when I brought my complaint and receipt to Mex Muffler, they simply said sorry and walked away. Now I need new tires, and a wheel alignment. I will no longer trust their work ethic, and will no longer recommend. read more

Fantastic service done by really nice people. Fixed the exhaust (flex pipe, 4 hangars), plus a wheel bearing AND a motor mount on my older car. Did it right, did it fast. Total cost: $380. The garage down the street from me wanted $700 just for the exhaust work, and would have needed to keep the car overnight. Brought the car in at 8 AM when Mex Muffler opened, they had the exhaust and wheel bearing fixed 2 hours later, but then discovered the problem with the motor mount, showed it to me, sure enough, it was broken. Since the mount wasn't in their original quote, they only charged for parts. And had it done an hour later. Repairs were done, paid for, and I was out the door before noon. Amazing. Their system is a little different from other garages. No reservations, first come, first served. You give the person at the front desk the keys, tell them the general problems, they put the keys with a sticky note. A mechanic comes in within 10 minutes, takes the keys and sticky note, then come back a little while later to tell you and show you the exact problems, and give you an estimate of cost and repair time. These are good folks. They do good work. Highly recommended. read more

Went to Mex Muffler today. WOW. Fast, excellent service, low price, done WAY faster than they said it would take. I went on a recommendation from a friend. So, consider me a friend and take my recommendation- Mex Muffler did a great job, great price, well executed! read more

I came here for the first time today and I'm didn't know what to expect. Upon walking in the door I was greeted with a smile and asked what I needed. We walked out to my truck and gave me a price within 30 seconds. I agreed and the work started right away. He was happy to show me options and gave me exactly what I wanted. Once the work began, I was impressed with the equipment in the garage. Very professional. Best prices around. He did my exhaust, cat back for $400. That is for dual exhaust. I will be back for other vehicles, and I will refer them to my friends and anyone looking for this type of work. Btw they also do oil changes for $20! read more

I haven't even looked into it yet, in fear of finding out exactly the possibilities of damage, but before I went on a trip to Colorado last week I got my oil changed here. $20. Good price right? Well when you consider the oil filer cap was not replaced after the oil change you might think otherwise. Anyway, that's my story. I don't even think the guys apologized when I went in today to show them the situation. There was oil everywhere on the inside under the hood but my real fear is the damage which could have been done internally. read more

This place was regarded as a cheaper option through word of mouth-I work at a cab company and the old mechanic even said it was a cheaper option, and yes for 100.00 they patched my muffler in an hour. You have to get the work done while you wait no appointments btw. Today I sold my car and to my horror the catalytic converter was gone. The buyer of my car owns a car towing company and checked my car's value . This company steals or "does not put " the catalytic converters back on the vehicles they repair. The catalytic converter is valued at 100.00. Please do not use this service !!! BEWARE!! Pass it on please! read more

I was driving and my muffler fell off in the middle of the road..after dodging traffic to grab it I went to Midas (nearest garage to where I was) and they gave me an estimate of $1200 and said they needed to order parts so it would be a few days. Feeling pretty bummed out I went to Mex Muffler and in 1 hour my muffler was reattached, the broken parts were fixed and my bill was $280. The work was very high quality and I was given a 1 year warranty on all Parts. Will definitely be back for all muffler/brake needs...Mex Muffler literally saved me almost $1,000. read more

I am unsure what the only other review is about... I took my 2000 Nissan Maxima in upon the recommendation of the man I purchased the car from. I told Victor right away that it ran VERY loud and most likely needed a new front cat and muffler--as I was told when I got an estimate from my usual place; they quoted me 1500 bux! I took it to Mex Muffler today, and they fixed all three of the major problems for well under 300 bux. I expected to pay twice that! They also let me into the shop so I could see for myself what the underside of my car looked like (horrific). They then showed me what they could fix and how much it would be. I went across the street to Barriques to wait... about 2 hours later, Victor called my cell to say they were done. Holy wow, my car runs so, so much better. Actually, the muffler is fine and the front cat is fine. The other shop lied to me. Imagine that, a shop lying in an attempt to garner more money. Oy vey. The kicker? I get a 1 year warranty on the work, and Victor asked me to call him in a week or so to make sure all is well. Why is it so cheap? They bend their own exhaust pipe in-house. Then, they pass the savings on to you. Yep. These guys are angels. I could not recommend them more. read more

These guys are amazing! I was given a quote of $700 by my regular garage and Mex Mufflers fixed my car and gave it an oil change for $290! I was impressed with the short amount of time it took and how professional they were. read more

Problem is fixed and WAY cheaper. Baring anything unseen, I will be returning. So much cheaper. So much.

Came in early on Saturday morning with no wait. Had my car repaired quickly and accurately at literally a quarter of the cost that Meineike quoted. Ulises was a skillful mechanic, and staff at the front desk were helpful.. read more

A couple of months ago my exhaust pipe rusted off completely I went to get an estimate yesterday at Monona tire and they quoted me 1300 dollars to get my muffler and exhaust pipe fix so my boss recommended mex, well today I went to their Milwaukee st location to see what they could do for me. They're quote was $250. They fixed it in 2 hours and now it runs great! Thanks Mex!!! read more

My experience with Mex Mufflers was awful. I took my Camaro in to get a Flowmaster cat back system installed and the mechanic looked at the hardware like it was from the future. He gave me 3 different estimates within half an hour, and then when he was laying the hardware out to see how it is installed he laid it out backwards! Then he told me that since he was unfamiliar with the product (that he is a distributor for) that the job was going to cost more. It is obvious that their knowledge and mechanic skills are very rudimentary. In my opinion all it takes to see how unprofessional these guys are is to walk into their filthy shop and take a look at the hygiene and appearance of the individuals that work there. If you are not on your last nickel and dime I would highly recommend taking your vehicle to somewhere else. read more

FANTASTIC! I've lived in this neighborhood for 15+ years, and I'm embarrassed to say I've taken my car anywhere else. I always thought, stupidly, they would be too expensive given the convenient location, and I WAS WRONG. This was the third estimate for an exhaust job on a 98 Lexus, and they were 1/2 the price of other places (Zimbrick, DuBois, Comstock). TRULY HONEST people and GREAT SERVICE. Now on, I won't take my car anywhere else for brake service, exhaust, or muffler. AND WOW, they do oil changes at an honest price, too. Highly recommend this organization! read more

Great Service. Walk-ins are awesome. Told them what I wanted done and this did it just how I wanted it. No as expensive as other shops near by. read more

I was looking for an autoshop to fix my car's rear brake as it was leaking brake fluid. Max quoted me $220 for installing new brake pads, replacing brake line and flushing the whole system. It took only an hour and a half in a busy Saturday morning (I was there at 8am and there are already 5 other people in line). I was on my way shortly and really happy about the price since I did exactly the same maintenance about 3 years ago at Firestone near West Towne Mall and Firestone basically ripped me off (over $800) for the same work (and the Firestone technician didn't even bother to refill the brake fluid after that). I'll definitely recommend my friends to come here. read more

I was at Mex mufflers today after my second quote of $1000 and they fixed my whole muffler system for $320 in 1 1/2 hours great place great people I would recommend this place to everyone thanks again for your great work and a one year warranty thank you again read more

If I could give NO stars I would.Worst exhaust job ever.You definitely get what you pay for.Speedy Muffler fixed it up RIGHT with almost zero charge.BEWARE consumers...BEWARE!!! read more

Last month my wife's car was making a loud noise from the muffler so I called Mex Mufflers for a price quote and the guy quoted between $200-$300. I called other repair shops and they quoted $300-$400. I took the car in and they inspected it and showed me which part needed work. They said they can weld the metal pipe to the muffler. The cost? $50! This morning, my wife's car was making a scratching noise from the muffler. Before I took it in, I examined it and one of rusted bolts holding the metal shield came loose. It was not Mex Muffler's fault. I took it in, and explained the problem. The guy quoted $25, and I said go for it. After the car was fixed, he said, "no charge". I insisted that I compensated him but he said it was an easy fix and he wouldn't take payment. This place has integrity. The wife's car now drives fine. read more
