Stay FAR away from this place. My brother approved a $915 tune-up. That's it! After the work was done, they called saying he was going to need a fuel pump, he clearly said NO. When he got there, the bill was suddenly $1,515. They went ahead and replaced the fuel pump without authorization and then presented him paperwork to sign AFTER the work was already done. That is completely unacceptable and honestly feels like a scam. He was put in a position where we had no choice but to pay an extra $600 he never agreed to, just to get the vehicle back. No written approval, no integrity, no accountability. If you value your money, do NOT trust this shop nor trust Kevin or Louis! There name should be Shiesters On Western! They are NOT BBB aceddited for a reason. This place is a joke! read more

Do not go here! Cheating on repair!!!!! Overpriced!!!! Just changed pies of pipe and changed as hole system parts and labor! Beware!!! read more

This shop is so awesome!! The staff is very respectful and amazing. My story is I have a Rusty beat up car given to me by family . My muffler system came off due to the rust. The thing is I am due to buy a car shortly in 3 weeks. I didn't not want to waste money. The owner was so nice to help me temporarily fix the issue to pass time to I get new car and was reasonable priced. I pray the staff gets abundantly blessed. read more

I stopped by to get an estimate on a complete muffler installation. They quoted me $360 (before I showed them that I already purchased the parts) The mechanic put my truck on the lift and pointed out that I needed one more pipe. I ordered the part and went back the next week. Their hourly rate is $120/Hr, he completed the job in an hour and charged be $450... You do the match and then decide if you want them to work on your vehicle. P.S. No trade in value for my old catalytic converter either, so $200+ more for them. read more

Fast service , good quality work , Friendly Got my car out of there sounding quiet and running smooth. Highly recommended read more

I have brought my car here a few times now and each time I've been very satisfied. The manager Luis provides quality work at a fair price. As a woman I still very comfortable bringing my car in for service and don't have to worry about being cheated. Great service and value! read more

Mr luis, outstanding and honestly man and goes out of his way to make it way. Great exhaust welding on my G37x coupe

Great service and friendly staff . They were attentive, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced.

I have been going here for over 15 years. I would say that the price is fair and they are pretty fast with the service most times but not always read more

Came here to get a muffler installed and I was quoted 2 times cheaper than anyone else here. Very helpful and quick IN and OUT service without doing a half ass job Great prices great service bad toilet lol!! But overall I give 5 stars read more

Mexico Mufflers & Brakes - Great place great business - Auto Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Thanks to these amazing guys for their incredible customer service and responsiveness to my last minute request to inspect a car that I intended to buy it off of craigslist. Without an appointment and on a busy holiday weekend, they checked out the car and because of their thoroughness, they saved me from buying a disaster. This place is old school wonderful. I'll definitely be back when I need to bring my car to someone trustworthy and skilled. Thank you so much Mexico Mufflers! read more

I learned to drive late in life - only a couple of years ago when I moved to Chicago, so I bought a cute '95 Cabrio with the idea that I, being a totally crap driver, would drive it into the ground. I've nearly succeeded. The catalytic converter was shot - meaning, you could hear me coming from a mile away, by the sputtering rasberries out the back end of my car. My husband found this shop on his way to a client site when his cat gave out and couldn't say enough about the excellent service and price. He was so right. Not only did this place quote me $500 less than the place I first went to in the South Loop, but when the mechanic showed me underneath my car, he pointed out there was actually nothing wrong with the part this other garage told me needed to be replaced. Yes, honesty will win my loud-mouthed loyalty every time. This shop is whistle clean and well-lit, with a professional receptionist and magazines in the waiting room. Wish I could remember the owner's name because he and his staff were extremely courteous and gave me a great deal, explaining the work that needed to be done (including an oil pan gasket that needed replacing) and doing the job on the spot, a couple of hours before closing. Parts and labor come with a written warranty, please and thank you. My car is purring happily. I'm still not a great driver but enjoy how well my car drives. For now. read more

Genuinely pleasant, worth some repeat business. Pros: Forthright service Timely assessments Down-to-earth experience Acceptable prices Cons: No macchiato or pumpkin spice lattes (if you're into that sort of thing) First time experience with Mexico Mufflers turned out to be a pleasant and genuinely friendly experience. I brought the car in for some urgently needed brake work and to have them inspect that loose clinking noise I kept hearing every time I hit a pothole or speed bump. The staff is sincere and dutiful. What I don't get is the excessively smiley Lincoln Park greetings. What I do get is sincere customer service and an honest assessment with realistic time estimates. They remain pretty busy so early arrival is highly recommended. If the wait is so long that they won't be able to attend to your vehicle that same day, expect to be told so. It's something that only adds to the honest feel of the place, lends credibility to the idea they're not holding on to cars for the sake of squeezing in another client. After my first visit I was certain the new brakes were rubbing pretty badly so I brought it back to have it checked out. Turns out it was something unrelated but they adjusted my loose heat shield to eliminate the noise. Overall, would definitely come here again for muffler/wheel related problems. We all want someone to really listen to our car problems with nuanced explanations and then really care. You're not getting a personal therapist anywhere. But what you will get at Mexico Mufflers is an audience, some feedback, and a staff that will try to work with you. read more

Had a problem with a muffler on my 16 year old truck. Other places wanted me to drop it off for a quote. This place did the repair/install while I waited. No up-selling, and the two other problems they found I was already aware of. HONEST service! I'm going to bring my other vehicles there when repairs are needed. read more

Reasonable place with decent prices and workers and Gilbert seem to be good people's, but be aware. There does seem to be a discord between walk ins and people who drop thier car off. I have did both and they took twice as long to get to the vehicle as opposed to waiting and also take longer if you bring it back thru warranty. That lady receptionist hates to see butts in the seats and she not collecting money. Just watch. Also you get what you pay for. $20.00 muffler, 30.00 cat converters. If I had to do it over again I would have kept my cat converter and muffler which was quieter than the one they gave me and just let him change bent pipes, (accident) flex pipe and resonater. read more

While leaving work one morning I heard a clunk as I'm sitting at a red light. I thought the cabbie in back of me hit me. As I pressed on the accelerator my car sounded like a speed boat. I wasn't sure what it was but assumed it was my muffler. When I got home I checked and sure enough it was. It was hanging extremely low. The next day I drove it to and from work but was to afraid to risk being pulled over for noise pollution. So on Saturday morning, I headed to Mexico Mufflers after reading the positive reviews. I needed a muffler shop that was near my house, honest and affordable. I brought a male friend with me hoping he would be the buffer but he was no help. Ugh! Anyway the people were polite. He told me my muffler was shot and was going to cost $350. Damn! He provided another option which was fix one muffler instead of both but that was going to be $250. Crap! The last thing he suggested was to avoid the loud noise he could weld it back in place for $40. Bingo! The reason why I was apprehensive about the other options is my car is rusted out on the bottom. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on repairs knowing by the end of next month I'll junk it. So I'm thankful I went here. I will return to this place when I get my new car. I left a satisfied customer read more

After reading the previous reviews on here, decided to check this place out. Drove in after work on a friday@3pm to get a diagnosis on my LOUD Altima. No appt, so I was shocked when they told me within 20 mins it was my Flex Pipe(which I kinda hoped that was all). Even took a picture of it for me to send to they the Hubby, who was not with me. Quoted me $80!! I said Great & while you're at it give me an Oil Change!! Overall, I wanna Thank my fellow Yelpers for recommending this place. They were ALL you guys said & more!! Having my Hubby bring his Truck in next week to see about his O2 Sensor. read more

Mexico Mufflers & Brakes - Flex Pipe - Auto Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

wish I could say something good about this business, but unfortunately according to my experience they're terrible, first of all after explaining the issues with my car, the lady at the front desk asked me to wait outside, because it was already 2 people there: her and a client; when I came back to retrieve my car it was not 2 but 4 people inside,. . . .I guess all of the sudden she forgot how to count, the job they performed on my car damaged another part and they were trying to charge me to get it fix, when I looked at the note, they charged 3.6 hrs of work! ! When they only took 1 1/2 hrs to work on it! ! ! I walked out of there and went to another shop, to pay for what the broke. IF YOU WERE AFFECTED BY THIS BUSINESS REPORT IT TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU (BBB) @mexicomufflersandbrake @automotivebrakes read more

I called on advance to enquire about an oil change. Somewhat standard price I guess, but bad time management. The guy wanted me to wait for 45 minutes before they can start looking into it. It also seemed to me like they were not busy at all since one of the technicians was sitting down looking into a magazine and the guy I talked to was standing close to the secretary-receptionist. Guys, let's keep it simple and fast. I know you close @ 6:00pm it was 4:00 the time I was there so there's still plenty of time for you to make money and plenty of time for me to keep going with my daily chores. read more

If I can give this shop a zero I would. I came in there to have a catalytic converter on a Camaro installed. A few days later I started hearing a loud rumbling sound coming from the converter. That's when I later took a look and saw both the bolts that hold my converter were loose basically dragging the converter. And my oxygen sensor I unloosened with my own two fingers. If I knew they were going to do a lazy job I would've done it myself . read more

Worst experience ever they stole from me while it was on there property & they do not want to cover it I do not recommend this place.

My husband and I have taken our cars to Saul for many years and he has always done an awesome job and saved us lots of money. We absolutely love the service and great customer service. thank you so much Mexico Mufflers read more

My exhaust hanger snapped off my exhaust and I needed a place to do it quick. My friend recommended me to this place, so I took his word for it and headed here on a Saturday afternoon with no appointment. I walked in and was told the wait is currently going to be an hour, which was fine because I needed it done. An hour later, I was helped and they welded my exhaust hanger back for me within 10 minutes and charged me $30. I would come back here again for more muffler work in the future. Great shop and great bunch of workers. read more

Fast and good service at a low price! My muffler was messed up to the point where it was on the ground and throwing smoke out from everywhere. I took it here and they gave me a reasonable quote. It was ready in a couple hours. I recommend it! read more
