While I was there, I noticed he was also working on an Audi R8, which gave me even more confidence--clearly he knows his way around Audis.

It's a clear manufacturer defect.) And while it did take some time to complete, they were rather busy at the time, and still found time to accommodate me for this emergency. But they were very communicative during the entire process. They were even super apologetic they couldn't align it to spec., which I fully expected. Price was fairly good, much better than the previous shop, and they even gave me a break because it couldn't fully be aligned correctly. The car drives so much better now.

I have driven from San Jose to Norcal Muffler and Truck in Manteca three times including today. So far, they have saved me over $1500 compared to what two different Toyota dealers wanted to charge me. For the first repair, the muffler on my MR2 Spyder was rattling. The dealer told me there was no way to fix it except to buy a complete new exhaust system from Toyota: $900 plus installation. A nearby Midas shop told me that they might be able to fix the muffler, instead, for around $350, but I would have to wait for "the muffler guy" to confirm that it could be fixed. (I thought they were all muffler guys at Midas?) Anyway, I figured that if I had to buy a new exhaust system, I would purchase an aftermarket one. Norcal Muffler is a dealer for the brand I was interested in. But I forgot to ask them if they could get the aftermarket system when they told me they could fix my problem for $50 in less than 20 minutes. By the time I got back from the Carl's Jr. across the street, they were test driving my car. So when I needed new catalytic converters, I purchased them from the dealer, but drove back to Norcal Muffler to have them installed. I don't even remember what the dealer would have charged for installing them, but I was confident Norcal would charge a third or a fourth of that. After about another 10,000 miles, my exhaust system started sounding very loud and my check engine light came on. The dealer charged $150 just to diagnose the check engine light problem. Fortunately for me, the dealer forgot to tell me they charged for the diagnosis, and forgot to ask me to sign the repair order. So, they told me what they thought was wrong but could not lawfully charge me for the diagnosis. They told me that the cost of the repairs was going to be about $500 and would include replacement of both oxygen sensors and the gas cap. Saying they had to replace the gas cap sounded too much like their previous diagnosis where they wanted to replace the entire exhaust system instead of torching off one broken bracket and welding on a new one as Norcal did. Today I took my Spyder to Norcal intending just to fix the noisy exhaust problem. I figured I couldn't afford to repair the check engine light if it was going to cost an additional $500. Norcal found the noise was caused by two broken flex pipes and estimated that repair at $150 for each pipe. I asked them to troubleshoot the check engine light, but told them I just wanted an estimate on that repair. Norcal tested my Spyder and did some Internet research. They found that only ONE of my car's two oxygen sensors was bad and they estimated that they could fix that for an additional $150. But when I came to pick up the car, the total bill was not $450 as they had estimated, but only $417 including tax on the parts. They said that the repair didn't take as long as they thought so they wanted to give me a break on the price. Are you kidding me? They charged me less BECAUSE they were able to fix my car faster? The people I usually deal with would just get my money in their pockets faster! I don't enjoy having car problems, but I certainly enjoy giving Norcal Muffler and Truck my business and my most glowing recommendation. But saving me money is just part of my satisfaction with them. What I really like is that they know what they are doing. Their diagnosis has been absolutely correct for each problem I have had--some I have not mentioned here. And the quality of their work has been excellent. My repeat business has not been their fault. Plus, when they know that another business can do something better or for less money than they, not only will they tell you, but they will write down the name of that business and make sure you know how to get there. They sent me down the street for a smog check last time I was there. The person they recommended was great and he did in fact have the best price in town on smog checks. Norcal Muffler and Truck really and truly rocks! Thanks! read more

Brian and his team at NorCal have been taking care of my family car exhaust issues for about a decade now. I am always pleasantly surprised that people still remember that customer service involves making sure the customer is happy and not just served. Brian and crew always seem to go out of their way to accommodate their clients. It doesn't matter if it's a big job like a full exhaust system, replacement of catalytic converters or something small like replacing a hanger or, most recently, fixing a hole caused by a broken factory weld that was leaking fumes into the passenger compartment of my Toyota FJ. As far as I am concerned, there is NO better option for exhaust services than NorCal. I have always been happy with their service and pricing. I have never gotten the feeling of being overcharged for any work done and I am comfortable in knowing that their work, materials, and parts they use are top-shelf and that they will stand behind anything they do ( even though I have never had to ask ). To Brian and Michael at the Manteca shop, thank you for taking care of my needs, and thank you for your hospitality and accommodation in my latest visit. You guys are the greatest and I will continue to send people and business your way. You guys ROCK! read more

I have been having very big problems with my van. I went to a smog shop in Tracy last week and paid them $400 to fix a leaky hose and replace a sensor. When my check engine light came on again 3 days later I returned. It was a catalytic convertor code. That shop in Tracy wanted me to pay $95 for them to read the code and $400-$800 for a catalytic convertor. They had my car for over a week and did not see the issue and they did not give me a break on reading a code. I was floored. Honestly, I started crying like a loser right there in front of him. I left and called Nor Cal. They would read the code for free!! I went over and they had the car in their garage in 5 minutes! Read the code and knew which convertor was bad in 10 minutes!! I have never been to such a fast shop. I was told $225 on the phone and it was actually $207. That never happens either. He also told me of a great shop in Manteca (JC Automotive) to get the other issues with my van fixed. I am very happy with this shop and will tell everyone I know to go there. My rating could not be higher. read more

What a great organization and owner. You saved me a lot of money and I'm grateful. The story: a thick, plastic, empty dog food bag blew under my car on the freeway and lodged on the hot exhaust pipe leading to the muffler. It melted there, and in essence, welded itself to that pipe. It was so thick it couldn't be chipped away. And two months later, it still hadn't burned itself up. The smell of burning plastic was constant. And I couldn't sell my car because of it. One estimate by a different organization said it might cost $2,000 to replace the whole pipe and catalytic converter. I took it to Brian Nay at NorCal Muffler & Truck hoping he could do the replacement for a cheaper cost. He fixed it for free. Instead of replacing anything, he used an oxyacetylene torch to burn away the dog food bag. It looked as good as the day it came off the assembly line. Genius solution, no harm to my exhaust system, and he wouldn't take money for it. What a smart, experienced, generous, kind owner. I heartily recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much! read more

My second visit today was as good as the first one many years ago but there was no Yelp back then. So I'm happy to have the opportunity to post this review. The excellent service and high-quality work are still alive and well at Norcal Muffler and Truck. I did a search for the best muffler shops in my area this morning and this place came up as number one. And since I had been here before and gotten great service, driving back to Manteca was a no-brainer. They adjusted the exhaust on my Corvette and made a custom dual exhaust for my F-150 many years ago. The work they did back then is holding up nicely. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Good solid work. So sometimes it's worth driving a little out of the way to get what you want and to have it done right. The work they did on my Cadillac this morning was super fast and the results are spectacular. And their customer service is awesome, too. If I ever need muffler work in the future, I am coming back. Not only that, I am sending my friends here, too. Thank you Norcal Muffler and Truck. read more

First off, these guys know there stuff. Its refreshing to walk into a busyness and for the person behind the counter to be well versed in their craft. And Brian Nay is on of those guys. Secondly, i have never seen someone litterally take money out of their pocket to do whats best for their client. But thats what Brian did. My brother had got his catconverter puchashed and installed here. Two years later it passed smog but because his car was low it scrapped the vin off the bottom. So they failed him. 3 times we went back for him to just put in a new cc to just get it over with, but he continued insisting that there had to be another way. In the last go, Brian pulled the part out of the box showed us that the numbers were on the top also, found a guy in the area with a lift who could see them and essentially saved my brother over 200$. But in saving my brother money, he basically took it out of his pocket. Thanks Brian for caring about your clients, and running a busyness that does not just sat it, but shows it! read more

I was told by a smog tech that the previous owner of my car had put an extender on the catalytic converter and needed to be taken off. A customer who was waiting in the office suggested I take my car to NorCal Mufflers down the street. He said he's been going there for years and how trustworthy they are. I went there right away as I pulled up to the shop Brian and his staff came out to assist me. They immediately noticed that my radiator had a crack in it (explains why my car had been overheating) they put antifreeze in it, thankfully I had no idea. They lifted my car and removed the extender from the catalytic converter and quoted me an amazing price to replace my bad catalytic converter..not even my good friend who's a mechanic could offer me such a deal. A few days later I brought my car in to replace the converter and to my suprise I was in and out within 25 min. I highly recommend this place. Their professionalism and accuracy are superb..Brian and his staff are wonderful!! Thums up read more

I searched the internet for a local truck accessories store so I could have them remove the brackets from my old tonneau cover on my truck. I found NorCal Muffler & Truck and decided to see if they could help me even though their website didn't say anything about them selling these covers. I parked in front of their bays and Brian came over to see what I needed help with. I showed him the two screws I needed removed and he went and got some tools to remove them. These screws must have been put on with gorilla glue because they took forever to come off!! Brian used about five different tools to get them off and actually broke some of them and made the others dull in the midst of it all. Brian worked on it for a long time in the rain... and with no appointment! Brian really went out of his way to help me out! I haven't been to a place with great customer service like this in a very very long time. I will definitely come back to give them any business I can! Thanks again Brian! read more

First off I just want to thank Jason for providing excellent customer service. Very cool guy. I came to the shop wanting to replace a part on my car so that I could upgrade my exhaust tips. He respectfully explained to me that I wanted could not be done because the part was meant for a different vehicle. He then offered me a variety of options he could do instead and he also gave me his personal advice. I was a little hesitant at first but decided to take his word for it. Let me tell you. I have never been happier with the way my car looks and sounds. I am beyond pleased with the work Jason and Justin did on my Dodge Charger. So pleased that I took the time to call Jason, thank him, and tell him how happy I am about the work they did. If you are looking for a muffler shop, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Very knowledgable, respectful, and trust worthy team. I will be going there for a future work and will definitely recommend this place to all. read more

I went in because my muffler was making a loud, concerning noise and causing my car to shake. I just went for a free quote on how much it would cost to fix and what was wrong with it. Brian I believe fretted me warmly, and immediately put the car up to check it out. I sat in the office for about 15 minutes waiting when he came back in and told me the problem was fixed. He welded and patched the hole in the muffler and it was good as new. I was confused because I had just went for a quote and told him I didn't have the means to get it fixed today and his response literally was "don't worry about it" he did it for free. Idk if it's because he saw a car seat in my car or what it was but he's amazing. All he humbly asked was that I leave a review on here if I was satisfied. AMAZING. P.s. I'm a 24 year old girl who looks 16 and was by myself he didn't take advantage of that or try to scam me like some shops unfortunately do. read more

NorCal saved me about 1300 dollars the dealer was about to charge me. Had a ticking with my 2010 Ram so I took it to the dealer who defined the issue as a broken exhaust manifold, and the bolts broken off in the heads. They needed my truck for about 3 days while they send the dreads off to get the bolts removed. Since this was the 3rd time having this issue and this time not under warranty I was hesitant about $1400 price tag. So I brought it over to Jason at NorCal. They found not one broken manifold bolt, or broken manifold and showed both to me. What they did find was that the bolts were actually not tightened down enough from the same dealer that I got the quote from. I can't thank him enough. Charged me $100 for the 2hr labor and no more ticking. Saved my ass $1300. You can always trust this business, great work, and have done about 5 exhaust systems for me in the past. Won't go anywhere else. read more

Awesome shop, and Brian is an artist with a welder! I'm working on converting an ambulance (6.6 Duramax) into a camper van, so I needed to find a good shop with a truck lift. I knew the previous owner had hit something that dented the catalytic converter and had cracked the weld between the cat and the next section of pipe. Once we took a closer look, the damage was more complicated. The flange where the cat connects to the turbo down pipe was bent, and the pipe where the DEF injector and temperature sensor are located was split all along the top. Brian was able to skilfully repair everything, and I was impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. Not only did he get the flanges straightened out perfectly, but he also repaired the pipes without damaging the temperature sensor or DEF injector - literally as good as new. Thank you! I will be back for any exhaust work on any vehicle I have. read more

Great and honest service is what this shop is about. I really had a great experience with the shop. I took my commuter car into shop thought my muffler was the problem talk to manager told him I wanted a new muffler reason for change told him I felt it was not performing well after I ran over something. I received a phone call about 45 minutes later from manager informing me that the muffler is in great shape and he would change if wanted but recommended that muffler was great and flowing well. So I picked up and found my transmission was problem and greatful for the honest and inspection of muffler to notify me of its condition. I have since taken my truck to get muffler change and service was great! Quality was great! And the performance of truck is optimal and I am more then pleased and very happy with services that I recieved. read more

Jason and Brayden are the absolute best in the valley when it comes to exhaust work. Their craftsmanship, knowledge, and attention to detail are top tier. I've trusted them with every one of my vehicles over the years, and they've never let me down. No matter the project, big or small, they always get the job done right the first time and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. What sets them apart is not just the quality of their work, but also their professionalism and honesty. They truly care about their customers and stand behind everything they do. It's rare to find a shop you can fully trust, and I can confidently say this is the best exhaust shop in the valley. I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else and highly recommend Jason and Brayden to anyone looking for top-notch work and great service. read more

Very fast and professional service! Willing to go the extra mile to help someone out even with questions. They put 2 catalytic converters on my wife's Subaru a while back with awesome service and great price. Had an issue with a local Smog shop in Manteca last weekend that didn't know what a resonator was and failed the car on visual because there were "too many catalytic converters". The guys at NorCal were more than happy to pull the car up on the rack and pull the pipe apart so I could get pics to take back to Smog shop for a retest. Too bad the guy at Smog shop didn't like being proven wrong and made my car fail the test by pulling 2 plug wires off the coil pack causing the check engine light to come on.... only wish NorCal did smogs and I know i would have been treated fairly. Thanks guys! read more

So I had some catalytic converters put on in 2013 and for whatever reason my truck didnt pass smog because the State of California didn't approve them anymore. If I showed a receipt showing the cats were installed before the state did this then it would be "grandfathered" in and smog would pass. Went to the shop, told them about my situation and they whipped up a duplicate receipt like a boss. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH GRIEF, MONEY AND STRESS THEY PREVENTED. I can't say enough about these guys. They went out of the way to help out a customer. The also do quality work. I've taken three vehicles to them (1965 Impala, new exhaust pipes and glasspacks)( 1995 accord, new muffler)( 2002 expedition, 2 catalytic converters) and no problems. Highly recommend this shop, they go above and beyond !!!! read more

I been taking my cars to Norcal for years. I brought in my 2016 Mustang GT to have after axle Roush mufflers (I purchased separately) installed. Brian did a great job. I didn't quite get the sound I wanted. (I had a 2014 Mustang GT and added the same Roush mufflers). I spoke to Jason and Brian a couple weeks later about it and they recommended removing the resonator and adding an X pipe. I was going to order and X pipe for about $200 but Jason built and installed one for less. I didn't have to wait for shipping and Brian did the work in about 40 minutes while I watched. WOW what a difference! I really appericate Jason spending time explaining all my options. (I ask alot of questions) Great customer service is hard to come by these days but I'm always in good hands with Norcal! read more

I went in for my routine oil change and explained that there was this annoying rattling going on in the back of the car and had determined it wasn't coming from the trunk. My mechanic referred me to Norcal Muffler & Truck. He said, talk to Brian or Jason, they're really good and they'll take care of you. Long story short, the pipes were banging on the frame. The car was purchased used and had an aftermarket exhaust on. Apparently they did a poor job, hence the banging. Brian took a quick look at it, bent the pipe to prevent it from making contact and replaced the hanger (I think that's what it was called) No more noise!!! Brian fixed the problem and didn't charge me!! He was so quick..maybe 10mins max. Now that's service!!! He's definitely earned my business in the future. read more

OK, so I live in Fremont about 60 miles from this shop. I've heard about Norcal and thought I would give them a try. I have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, and in the Bat Area I was quoted over $700 dollars for dual exhaust. After I picked myself off the floor I called Norcal in Manteca for an over the phone quote. After explaining the type of sound I was looking for I was referred to a SpinTec muffler. Price was way below the Bay Area price. They installed the system with everything lining up perfect. All the welds and bends are clean...and get this...they even paint the welds to keep them from rusting...This shop has worked on 3 of my vehicles so far, and they have the knowledge and know how to make it happen. To top it off they're walking distance from a few restaurants. read more

The facts: my catalytic converters was stolen from my Toyota Tundra. I was pissed. I went to my local muffler shop, Norcal Muffler and Truck. My experience with this small business was exceptional. They possess the holy grail for a small business: honesty, fairly priced, and exceptional workmanship. The owner, Brian, even gave me a ride home while they installed the new catalytic converter. They also provided a solution to prevent this from reoccurring. To summarize, what started out as an annoying beginning to my day ended with a positive tone thanks to the professionalism and expertise demonstrated at Norcal Muffler and Truck. I highly recommend this business. Thank you, Brian......Michael E. Fahey read more

This was one of the few times that I had used Yelp's project feature to find a mechanic. Robles's auto repair was the quickest to reply and also ended up having one of the most competitive prices. Using the project feature of Yelp allowed me to stay in constant communication with Gabriel. I was kept abreast of the repairs on my vehicle and they even stuck around a little after hours to make sure I could get my car after the repairs were done. That Stockton traffic can be a doozy. The issue with my vehicle was a leak in the radiator that Mercedes said would cost $2400 to repair at the dealership, but with Robles's auto repair, I was able to do it for under $800. The parts in general are not what's expensive just my model and Mercedes has a lot of pieces that have to be removed to get access to the radiator. Now my car is running great and I should be good for a long time. If you're looking for a family run business, this is your next stop for your engine, rebuild transmission, rebuild, and general automotive repairs

They explained exactly what was wrong and even found another issue that they couldn't repair at their shop, but still took the time to let us know. Huge shoutout to Louie for keeping me updated with videos, being professional, and taking great care of my lady while she brought the truck in since I was at work. That level of communication and customer service goes a long way. Unfortunately, I didn't end up doing business with them this time because the repair needed to be done elsewhere, but they've definitely earned my trust. I'll absolutely be back for other work I have planned in the future. Highly recommend!

AWARENESS: After purchasing my 5th Wheel earlier this year,…read moreI noticed, when attached to my truck, the nose of the 5th Wheel was approximately 7 inches too high from my trucks bed. I had several solutions to correct the issue; the first was to have the 5th Wheels king pin box raised up and the second, have have my trucks hitch rails lowered (flush mounted) to the bed of the truck. These two fixes would lower my trailers cap approximately 6 inches overall. When asking friends of a good place to have my trucks hitch done, Manteca Truck Accessories came up from each friend. NARRATIVE: Before my visit, I called ahead and explained my issue to Louis. He scheduled my appointment and a few days later, I took my truck in. After looking at my trucks hitch mounting, Louis told me they had several ways to drop the hitch. One was mounting an after market rail system which the manufacture offered. The other was to change out the hitch entirely which to me, wasn't an option. While still with Louis, he made numerous phone calls to the manufacture without luck. He also made calls to some of his other business partners who also count help. In fact, those people kept directing Louis back to my hitches manufacture for the answers. After about an hour with no luck on the phone calls, Louis told me he would email the company in hopes of getting a response and sent me home on his promise to find the solution. As I got on the freeway headed back home, I received a call from Louis telling me the manufacture called him back. He Asked about the parts needed. Was advised the company did have the parts but, they had to be ordered. Louis then set me up for a future appointment date but told me, he would call before the date with the cost of the parts and his labor. A fews days before my next appointment, Louis kept his promise and called me back. He gave me the price of the parts with the labor cost and asked if I wanted him to continue the work. I agreed and later dropped my truck off for service. SCENE: Manteca Truck Accessories is located in the city of Manteca on N. Main Street. The major cross streets are; W. Edison Street and W. Louise Ave. EVIDENCE: As you can see by the before and after pictures of my trucks 5th wheel hitch, the work performed was solid, well thought out and clean. From what Louis told me, one of the securing bolts was too hard to reach so, they actually had to drop the frame in order to secure the rails. RECOMMENDATION(S): I had no issues with the work Louis or his guys at Manteca Truck Accessories performed. In fact, I really appreciate the "above and beyond" Louis did finding the answers and keeping me informed about the solution. Well done!

Drove it for another 80,000 miles (190,000 total) and sold it. Picked up the 2016 2.0T B8.5 6sp and figured I'd do the same thing. Stage I tune ate the clutch so wanted a single mass like before. This clutch/flywheel is a Radically different design but this ones far easier to install. Getting the splines to line up installing the clutch like a torque converter is a breeze compared to the traditional clutch setups. JHMs piece is super nice. Per the recommendation to change the clutch line to a one piece stainless usp piece, I did (THAT JOB WAS A PITA). Cleaned face of flywheel and pressure plate, torqued pressure plate per their instructions that are here. Installed and off I went enjoying the positive engagement, ease of shifting and seriously easy pedal. Kinda felt too easy to push. I go about the break in process, happy with how its feeling, staying in touch via email as to how they recommend to bed it in. 500 miles comes along I get the okay to give it some beans. It skips at anything past half throttle. Go back to driving Ms Daisy and IMMEDIATELY EMAIL and express my worry. Emails going back and forth trying to figure out whats going on. Meanwhile still driving back and forth to work like I have Ms Daisy in the back seat. Every once in a while I give it a shot and Nope, skips everytime. Then the Emails get ugly, "Installed" "Installed" wrong. I find I'm having to now defend MY competency in installing a clutch. 57yrs old been wrenching since I was 16, have a 70 Nova with a 498 I BUILT and ported the heads (and tested with my flow bench) I BUILT the TH 400 trans, mini tubbed it assembled the narrowed 9" and I'm a Auto Tech for a living. ect ect ECT. However now I'm getting stressed out thinking I got had by JHM But back to,, umm, "I" KNOW how to swap out a clutch for mucks sake. And now I'm just wanting my car back to stock, Im done trying to soop up my daily, and then the emails turn to "store credit" instead of a refund!! Unless I send it back ASAP. The clutch was out THAT night and spent $180 to get it sent back the following day. ASAP?? DONE!! I get a few emails saying my return has been accepted and my "Refund" will be processed in the order it was received. 2 weeks go by and nothing. Send off Email and get a reply back indicating that NOW the owner wants to renig on my refund because it was installed???!!! oh yeah almost forgot. When I pulled it out the weak pedal (the B 5.5s pedal was nice and stiff) got me really curious. So I set up a jig in my press and measured the old factory Luk SAC pressure plate fingers and it was at 640/650 PSI And JHMs pressure plates fingers were also at 640/650 PSI. So someone explain to me EXACTLY how JHMs pressure plate is going to have anymore clamping force than a factory SACs with the Exact same pressure .. Oh jeeze I almost forgot this too. The morning of the night I pulled the clutch. I pulled the IE Stage I tune back out of the car thinking I'd keep trying to bed the clutch in without worrying about it skipping. I had round about 600 miles on it by this point so I figured I'd at least be able to drive it like normal on the factory tune, RIGHT?? I WAS WRONG!! Let me back up a little. After I pulled the tune out and discovered it wouldn't hold THAT is when I Emailed that little tid bit and that's when the "store credit" vs "refund" per fine print was brought up. Unless I pulled it and sent it back NOW. NOW IM STRESSED AS ALL GET OUT THINKING I JUST GOT HAD FOR $2700 UNLESS I BUST MY ARSE AND GET THE CLUTCH OUT AND SENT!!!!!! To which As I said I did get it out and sent, within 16 hours. To Recap; JHMs single mass organic fiber good for 400ftlbs and 90% of any performance mods including a KO4 turbo. Didn't EVEN HOLD THE FACTORY TUNE IN MY 2016 Audi A4 2.0T 6 speed Quattro. And now, I'm being denied (by the owner) the $2700 refund let alone the $180 shipping. I had the clutch in the car 3 days short of a month. It takes a easy week to ship from cali to mi and vise versa. And now I'm having to BEG to 'somehow' recoup MY $2700.00 I spent on a clutch that didn't work as described, for me Like "I'm" the guilty party. Of WHAT?? Trusting JHMs claim that this clutch will do what it DIDN'T??? I just want my car back after being down for going on a month now but the "owners" now on Vacation. Must be nice,. hope my $2700.00 has enabled You to really enjoy life. While Im stuck having to spend $100 a week on fuel in a truck vs the 60 every two weeks the Audi got because I'm being strung along on a refund. I cant get something else to put in the car to get it back on the road because this guy decided to change his mind about giving me my money back after I busted my arse to pull,.send it, and got Emails saying the return is accepted and the refund is in process. So, take all that for wherever it

They informed me an alignment couldn't be completed by their shop. Unfortunately, after getting it back, my car was nearly impossible to steer, I would get thrown into other lanes and it felt like my car was going to slide right off the tires. It was dangerous to drive. Enter Manteca Tire & Wheel Outlet, after explaining what I needed I was told I could bring it in. They were open about not being able to do the job as well (I've owned the car for 10 years now, with several shops having difficulties aligning it--and no shop ever being able to get it to spec., even when the car was stock. It's a clear manufacturer defect.) And while it did take some time to complete, they were rather busy at the time, and still found time to accommodate me for this emergency. But they were very communicative during the entire process. They were even super apologetic they couldn't align it to spec., which I fully expected. Price was fairly good, much better than the previous shop, and they even gave me a break because it couldn't fully be aligned correctly. The car drives so much better now. Completely thankful to Manteca Tire & Wheel Outlet for getting this done and their honesty throughout the process!
