Needed exhaust service. Was advised and shown what needed doing. Repair of my system was efficiently done at a very reasonable cost.

The thing about owning a used car is that if you are out of warranty you can get hosed on repairs. I get one estimate to fix an issue that costs $1700. Exhaust Works was recommended and they diagnosed my problem, charged me NOTHING but referred me to another mechanic who had the tools and expertise to solve the issue. I sent to the referral and (that's another review) and $480 later I was good to go. I'm not saying this is the usual outcome however it was the HONESTY that impressed me. The recommendation worked out extremely well and trust was born! This is all we used car drivers ask for...honesty and expertise! You won't go wrong here cause they're on the right track! read more

I had all my check engine lights on. I went to the dealership they quoted me on a lot of money. I then went to other auto repair places recommended by various people but still each one of them charged me for inspection and quote me higher price. In my frustration I just walked in to this muffler and brake place. He showed me where the problem was and charged me reasonable price. I really appreciate their honesty and highly recommend their services. read more

We suspected we had an exhaust leak on our 2007 Lexus ES350 so we drove to Naperville Exhaust Works. Chris greeted us and put the car on the lift. He quickly diagnosed that the rusty flex pipe was the problem. He gave us a price, did the repairs right away, and we were out the door within the hour. We HIGHLY recommend this exhaust shop. read more

For what it is worth, a word of caution. For our loud exhaust system issues, we were quoted a low (no new muffler) and high estimate (replace muffler). NExhaustWorks wouldn't know for sure which estimate would be applied until after the work started. Figured it would be best to get a second opinion. THEN was told that prices are going up at the beginning of next month, which was the next day...(sigh) Ended up getting that second opinion at another business and paid less than half of the low price estimate. read more

The friendly service, high quality work, & best value for the money. My exhaust repair will last the life of my car.

EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! I had been dealing with car issues for over 6 months and was having a terrible experience through my local Hyundai dealership who kept up-charging me and never fully fixing the issue. I called Exhaust Works and Chris (I believe was his name) was incredibly kind and quoted me WAY less than what Hyundai did to fix my catalytic converter. He not only broke down the costs for me, but he also took me into the repair shop and physically showed me what part of my car they were going to repair. He even chatted and waited with me for over an hour until my dad came to pick me up. My car was repaired speedy quick within one day and FINALLY fixed the issue!!! Extremely happy with my experience and would highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again! read more

Flashback - The body of my car was in fair shape (paint faded), and the engine was inferior over (100,000 miles). I had to leave my car overnight for you to service it, and your business offered me a car to get home, and I had made sure to fill it up with gas upon returning it Thanks for your generosity! P.S. Years later, my car finally broke down, and with no employment, I haven't driven a car for quite some time now read more

I would not work with this company again. They replaced my catalytic converter but that didn't fix the issue. Even though their diagnosis was wrong they offered nothing to remedy the problem. I would elsewhere for sure.. read more

My late model Toyota need exhaust work and my dealer was unable to get the necessary muffler. "Supply chain issues." I saw Parrish this morning at Naperville Exhaust Works and he was quickly able to get the necessary parts. I drove away in the early afternoon very satisfied. The price was reasonable and the estimate accurate. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Parrish knows his stuff! This place is highly recommended! read more

Great work done with friendly service. Explained everything and delivered as promised.

I had never been here before, but I had a hole in my flex pipe so I just dropped by on a Friday afternoon. Even though I didn't have an appointment, they said they could help me right away (I think because it was the afternoon they had some time). Anyway, the job took 45 minutes. I was pleased with quick service and friendly personnel. I definitely recommend them! read more

I was quoted a very high price that I knew was wrong. The guys here seemed to have attempted to make the situation under my car look worse! (I had been under the car a few days prior to inspect the damage myself) I went to an exhaust repair place in west Chicago that quoted me a price that was 20% of what Naperville exhaust works quoted me. I bet they do great work but they aren't the cheap/honest option. read more

I had a great experience at Exhaust Works. Parrish took the time to show me what was wrong with my exhaust. He was able to get the part and install it the same day. This is my 2nd trip here and I truly trust this place. The price was a lot less than I anticipated. Thank you for being so fair and honest!! read more

Brought my 2014 mustang in for some exhaust work and these guys quoted me a reasonable price and was very quick with getting me in and out of there and the quality of there work speaks for itself definitely coming back again if In need of exhaust work read more

Good exhaust shop. Was able to schedule appt for the next day. They looked at the aftermarket exhaust, looked at the car on the lift and provided an estimate before starting the work. Installed a cat back and H pipe in under two hours. Work was clean and professional. Took off one star since they were on the pricey side compared to other estimates. I would go back. read more

The muffler was audaciously loud for several months. I finally took it in to the dealership and was quoted $2500 to "fix" (replace) the muffler. More months passed, as I couldn't stomach the $2.5k bill. I took it in to Naperville Exhaust Works to check out their opinion. They said they could do it in an hour for $250 (yes, 1 less zero). This would fix, but not replace the muffler (what a sane person would want). I didn't quite believe this would hold true, but here I am an hour later and only $250 less than I came in with. Thoroughly impressed with their price & speed, definitely recommended! read more

These folks were knowledgeable, honest, friendly, and fast! Highly recommend them for exhaust work!

GREAT experience! Took my car in a few months back due to my muffler rusting off; I called for a same-day/last-minute appointment and they squeezed me in just before close. Welded a piece to hold my muffler/exhaust in place until I can get it replaced. Super speedy (but well done!!) work (I had my mechanic check after the fact), in/out in 30-35 minutes. Gave me a quote for future (inevitable) work (VERY reasonably priced) and guaranteed it (via mgr signature) for whenever I choose to return. read more

Drive right past any chain-based exhaust shops and go here. Very honest and very economical. Repaired a part of my exhaust rather than ripping me off for a new one. read more

First I called the shop to see if they were too busy to put my car up on the lift and check out an exhaust leak. Sean said it was no problem, and to swing by any time for him to have a look at it. Sure enough when I got there we got my car on the lift and Sean replaced a donut gasket. Not only was I out of there in about 20 minutes, but the work was outstanding! Overall, the shop was very organized and very well kept. I will most definitely be going back there to get any other work done. It was a very fair price, and the customer service was great too. The best part of it all is that they warranty there work for a year! Just watch out for the old grumpy guy! read more

These guys were amazing! They came recommended by a local Facebook group and didn't disappoint. Took it in for what I assumed was a major exhaust issue and they came back with a very cost effective fix. They also told me about a small crack that I needed to watch out for but not immediately fix. That's something that would be easily pushed on you at any other shop. Great experience and highly recommend! read more

Parrish is the man! Been using him and NEW for years for my custom exhaust needs. Vehicles of mine he has done complete custom exhaust work on; - Chevrolet Camaro Z28 - Pontiac GTO - Cadillac STS-V - Chevrolet Impala SS - Pontiac Bonneville GXP - Pontiac Grand Prix GTP - Chevrolet Tahoe - Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD And I'm sure that there are a handful of vehicles I have forgotten that he has worked on. Then there are all the people in my F-Body, GTO/G8 community, Corvette friends, Bonneville community and others that I have sent to him over the years. Matter of fact, I will be down there on Saturday. One of my Magnaflow mufflers on the STS-V split at the end cap, and he will R&R with a replacement, all under Magnaflow's lifetime warranty. read more

I'm typically very wary of people working on my vehicles and have had numerous terrible experiences in the service industry. When choosing a place to get work done, in especially picky. When I read all the reviews for this shop currently, I figured I could give them a shot. First and foremost, everything you read about Parrish being awesome is true. He was polite and prompt over the phone and knew who I was when I showed up. I got to my appointment a little early and he went out and immediately drove my car (a stick shift) into the shop for inspection. Before they even touched my car they called me in to the shop to show me the obvious issue, and had no problem taking the laundry list of work I needed done, and listened thoroughly to my suggestions and prior knowledge of my concern. After a few minutes of clicking around in the computer for a part he didn't think he had, he found something that fit my application and gave me a quote for the front and back half (I said laundry list didn't I?) of my exhaust. He told me it'd be done by the end of the day, left the keys in a safe spot so I could pick up the car after hours and that was that, nice and easy. When I picked up my car it had essentially a full exhaust from the header back, an o2 bung welded in with the sensor installed, a new muffler and about three feet of new piping, needless to say, it runs and drives like a completely different car! I would not hesitate to take any of my projects to this shop, I only wish they did transmission work too read more

Great experience with Exhaust Works. I was looking to have a Borla exhaust installed on my new Challenger and I wanted a Pro not one of the little muffler shops chopping up my new car. I have met people that have had work done at Exhaust Works on there classic and muscle cars. Normally I do all the work on my cars so I am very hesitant to have others work on my cars but being January I didn't feel like laying around on the cold garage floor so I called and Parrish quoted ma a VERY reasonable price, we set up an appointment. NI found a nice clean professional shop, they did a great job. It was great to meet Parrish had fun shooting the breeze with him he is a stand up guy. Needles to say I have found my go to exhaust shop and well worth the drive from Algonquin, Thanks again for the great work. read more

I have had them do exhaust work on a couple of my cars in the past and I have recommended them to others over the years. I thought they were reasonably priced and did good work. I still think they do good work, but they have now lost me as a customer over pricing. I just had some exhaust work on my truck. I thought it was a little on the expensive side, but I needed it done, they could do it next day and I was confident in them - based on previous experience. They did the work and it was fine, but the three main components on my itemized bill had Walker part numbers and I ran them through Amazon that night. I am all for making money and I understand all that makes up overhead, but the markup on these items was EXCESSIVE. Shame on me for not shopping around, but I expected to be treated fairly. I will not go back and cannot recommend Exhaust Works further. The items used were: 54738 Exhaust Pipe invoice price $299.95 / Amazon price $134 (w/free shipping) 55565 Tail Pipe Assy invoice price $214.95 / Amazon price $90 (w/free shipping) 35113 Magnaflow TIp Invoice price $65.00 / Amazon price $37 (w/free shipping) I would like to assume they are getting better prices, as an Walker Jobber, than I can on Amazon. I am all for making a buck, but this was too much and broke my trust. read more

I was referred to Exhaust Works from a repair shop that doesn't do these types of repairs. When I arrived, without an appointment, Chris couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. He showed me the issues when my car was on a lift and he told me the options and associated cost. I decided on the more extensive repair and even though they had to get the replacement pieces off-site I was out of the shop in 90 minutes. The repair shop quoted me 3 times the price I was charged at Exhaust Works. Great service and a great price! I watched Chris interact with other customers and his customer service skills were impressive. I sure hope the shop owner appreciates him. I know I do! I highly recommend this business. read more

Great place! In and out like NASCAR! Parrish was great. Prices are in line. If not a bit better. Very happy "so far" I highly recommend. Obviously. read more

Updating to 5 stars , as good as it gets for affordable, honest, & reliable repair! Took my car in for a exhaust sleeve repair. Diagnosed, repaired the issue within a short time. They also charged much less than another repair shop where I was told about the sleeve issue while getting different repair done. Wish this place was a full service auto repair, tough to find establishments like this one. read more

Good service at an economical price! Had exhaust leaks patched in a couple of locations. Been driving on it for a while now (over a year) without any issues. read more

These guys took care of me and for less than I was quoted at other generic corporate shops. Took the time to show me up on the rack exactly what was wrong and gave a few options on how to fix the issue. If you need exhaust work I would highly recommend this place. read more

Bolts holding the heat shield on my car's exhaust rusted, causing the front half to tip down. I called and they told me a specific time that day to bring my car in and gave me a price of $30. When I got there, they confirmed the problem and said it would take 10 minutes to repair. Charged me $25 and I was out the door in under 10 minutes. Can't say enough positive things about this place. Super friendly and I appreciated that they didn't try to over charge me or sell me a new part. They also do brakes. read more

Great shop and guys working there I got charged 150 for a axel back to be put on a little up priced but ok the clamps that came with the exhaust didn't fit they said so they replaced it with some they had only concern is those clamps are showing rust now other then that good place would recommend read more

These guys were nice enough to put my car up on the lift and show me exactly what the problem was. They wrote down all the part numbers for me and wanted to charge me $350 for 1 pipe with some brackets and labor. I went home and ordered an entire new exhaust kit myself for $248. The part numbers matched exactly what they wrote down, they wanted to charge me $152 for the one pipe but I ordered it myself for $58!! I understand they have to make a profit but I could tell they were just flat out ripping me off on this deal. In the end I ended up getting an entire new exhaust system for less than what they would've charged me for only 1 part, I highly suggest you check the prices before you go there, maybe I just went on a bad day... read more

They did a great job on my 2016 mustang!!!! They installed my axel back kit within 45 mins

I wasn't sure what was wrong with my exhaust, but I had to find a shop on short notice to figure out the problem and get it taken care of quickly. I had not been to Naperville Exhaust Works before, but after reading various reviews I called and Matt confirmed they could take the car in quickly. I brought it over there, and it turned out to be a simple correction (heat shield only). They took care of it quickly, easily, and sent me on my way. Very positive first experience, and I would definitely trust them with more significant exhaust work in the future. Thanks! read more

I broke my welder at the shop where I work and needed someone to install a new titanium muffler in time for the weekend's race. It is common practice to install motorcycle-like mufflers in Mazda Miatas: Invert the muffler and very little custom work was needed, just a matter of clamping it to the original tubing and hanging it from the end hanger. The business owner laughed at my face before I even attempted to explain what should be done. "I can't install that, there isn't anywhere to install the hangers!" Narrow minded people and people with no creativity or will to find different approaches to a problem have no place in this industry. And I thought it was polite not to laugh at a possible customer. Needless to say, you lost a customer. And I will make sure noone from the sports car and road racing crowd (you know, the people with the money) will ever step in that establishment. Outrageous and ridiculous. read more

I was referred Naperville Exhaust by another shop that declined to install my Borla Catback performance system. I gave the team a call and was able to quickly drop off the kit I ordered online along with my 17 Durango R/T and was ready with the install complete 4 hours later. I will say, the installation was perfect! The team even addressed a small pipe fit issue that required heating and slightly bending the pipe to ensure my new exhaust tips were centered perfectly. I highly recommend! read more

Great service, Parrish explained everything that was required to resolve my car's exhaust issue, before doing the work. I would highly recommend Naperville Exhaust Works!! They know how to treat their customers..... read more
