(working perfectly) They also adjusted my dyno-tune for a very reasonable price, as it wouldn't idle worth a crap when I got the car. On top of that, my Darton Sleeve came lose several weeks after getting my clutch installed. They re-wrapped the sleeve & got it back to me at no charge in just a few hrs. And, my idle was not quite right when it came time for A/C to be used, again, they tweaked my dyno-tune to accommodate the A/C compressor, also in just a few hrs time. This also was a no charge visit. Plus, they take the time to explain all my questions, with answers in understandable language. My experience at The Muffler Shop Of Cola has been 100%!!!

When she arrived to pick it up the rental car company employee who drove her kindly offered to wait with her. He said he knew about this shop and didn't think she would be safe here alone. When she inspected the vehicle, there was food and trash left inside. There were also stains and grease/dirt on the interior. The center console compartment, glove box, and, her bag in the trunk had all been rummaged through. Fortunately, I had removed anything of real value. In addition, somebody else's phone charger was plugged into the center console. The vehicle had been left with a full tank of gas. When picked up, there was only one quarter tank of gas left. They had clearly been using our vehicle during the time they had it, a span of six days.

The drill is if you are having a problem, leave your vehicle with them, they diagnose, and call you back with an estimate.
