I have been here a couple times and every time had been a pleasure. The guys are real nicer do go out of their way to help you, they do a great job and the prices are great. read more

Quick and easy. They quoted me over the phone to try and salvage a muffler that was rusted and ripped off. Came in for a visual inspection and found out the whole exhaust system was pulled back and pinched from the lower control arm from an impact. Needless to say they cut off the pipe that was pinched, fixed the hangers that were bent, and realigned the whole muffler for a great deal. Thanks Vern and everyone at Sweeney's! read more

I came in here with a massive exhaust leak on my old ford truck at 4 o'clock and Verne took the time to look at it. He said the exhaust donut was bad and he would try and repair it. I am not from the area and being that I was visiting only for the weekend, he really knocked it out of the park in getting me back on the road and at a reasonable price to. Thanks read more

I came in to get an exhaust kit installed in my car. They took care of me right away. Well the kit i bought didn't fit my car directly, but they did a great job altering the kit and making it fit. Now my car sounds awesome and they aligned the tips just right. I am very happy and the owner explained every step they took to make it work, which is great because it shows that they know their stuff. I highly recommend this shop for your exhaust needs!! read more

Sweeny's does things fast and effficient. I had an exhaust manifold installed and a new muffler. They even told me to come back in a week just to make sure everything looks good. Definitely recommend. read more

Found this place on Google and decided to try them out based on their high ratings. I went to another shop that refused to do what I wanted - which was simply to switch my exhaust tips. I dealt with both Alvin and Verne and both were very friendly and professional and their price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend anyone bring their car here for exhaust work if you're in the South Bay. Quality shop. A little tough to navigate through the shopping center because they're near other auto repair shops but it worked out and I left a very satisfied customer. read more

Got work done here on my 2011 Audi A4. My brother is a crew member of his race team so thats how I was directed here. Who would you rather trust with your car? A hole in the wall muffler shop or somebody that builds and races real race cars for a living? His prices are cheaper than everybody else, and he'll do 15x better work in a fourth of the time. Theres a reason why there is so many good reviews, trust Verne with your car and you won't be disappointed. read more

Ive known verne for about 20 yrs and hes the guy I want to go to for any of my exhaust needs. I recently went to him with an old truck, put it in his hands to get the right mufflers, plumb it all, and when I came back for my ride it looked great sounded cool and couldn't be happier with the results. read more

Great experience, had a rattle under my car. They lifted it, saw the problem, installed some washers and I was out of there in fifteen minutes with the issue resolved, and they barely charged me much for it. VERY honest and skilled shop. read more

Just got my car done yesterday and it sounds great!!! I came in there asking them to change my exhaust to make my car louder but he told me the piping on my 2012 mustang was perfect and I don't need to waste the money on new ones, and only recommended mufflers which saved me a hell of a lot of money! They are straight up, great priced and do an awesome job! I'm very happy and would recommend them anytime! read more

Woke up early this morning to go to this shop. I've talked to Verne last thurs 3/3/16 and set up an appointment with him this saturday 3/5/16. When I was there at around 8:30 I was approached by Alvin and he asked me what I need. I told him that I have an appointment at 9am with Verne. He said that Verne does not come to work on a Saturday. He also told me that Im not on their list. I was shocked and frustrated but Im still hoping that Alvin will accommodate me or schedule me again but he did not do it. It's my first time to install my new resonator and saw a lot of good review with this shop that's why I chose this one. But I'm wrong for choosing this one. For the first timer and looking for a muffler shop I would not recommend this shop and maybe make sure that your on their list by calling them a day before your appointment. Customer service is poor especially Alvin and of course Verne. I ended up with "Muffler R US" which maybe the right place to change my resonator. read more

Went here b/c the catalytic converter was welded on - I called and asked if they could cut it off and weld on the new one I had from the parts store. "NP, $40/labor." (I figured I needed the new "cat" b/c I had described the telltale rattle to the parts clerk, and the "check engine light" was on.) He inquired about *which* part I had bought, and warned that not all sold would let me pass the smog check. (Why anyone would *sell* such a useless item is beyond me.) He could replace it with the proper part for a least $100 less than the Midas I called, or even than the cost of the part from the store! Anyway, the owner, whose first name I forget, removed the broken shielding, and diagnosed the check engine light as something else on the ODBII computer (even showed it to me) - no new "cat", & NO CHARGE! He recommended his neighbor to fix the new, non-muffler, problem, and the neighbor quoted a price *less* than the original project. There is a certain relief to finding a trustworthy mechanic! I only wish Sweeney's did all auto-work! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! My muffler didn't fit as instructions said it would, he made a custom pipe that fit perfectly! Works well and quick, he knows what hes doing in any situation! He is extremely friendly and tells you what he plans to do before hand. I was referred to by Pete at Pete's Autohaus! read more

My mechanic did a engine swap on my navigator it came out good no check engine light on and with only 60 k miles. OK but he left a fuel leak that made a horrible sound on the passengers side everytime I floar it it will make it. So after weeks of searching I found this place it's hidden so I spoke to Alvin a day before took the suv the next day and right away he knew what it was. So he told me a quote of 80 dollars which was a relief. Left it for a few hours came back at an told me the mechanic try to force some metal thingy it was Crack. He show me the parts and he said I gave them a challenge he ended up charging 95 but I gave them a Benjamin flat a 5 dollar tip for their troubles. Very friendly and explains and shows me the parts and knew what the other mechanic was trying to do. Proud of this guy's forgot to get the other guys name. People and service like this makes me pay the price if it's a little bit over my budget. GOOD JOB GUYS read more

Sweeney's has been around Torrance for as long as I can remember. My friend's and I started coming here in highschool (2003) for custom exhaust and installs. Fast forward 14 years and we're still coming by. Verne and Alvin are great great guys -- very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I had them do a custom mid-pipe on my STI and it was done within 40 mins -- awesome work and pricing. My most recent experience with them will keep me a customer forever. I installed an aftermarket exhaust, but it was too loud for my taste, and also had a leak with the down-pipe. Called up Sweeney's, they had my resonator drop-shipped and called me the next morning. I go there about 4:45p today (5/24/17) on my lunch break hoping it could get done -- it was, in 30 minutes. Verne was ready to leave, but decided to stay welded up the resonator while Alvin fixed the leak. I cannot say thank you enough and how grateful I am for your services! read more

Brought my car in to do some muffler work, was in and out with in 45min with everything done perfectly. Extremely reasonable price also!

Went there for a leak on the exhaust flange and these guys were awesome and helpful,Verne was a really cool guy and kept it real . Their honesty was the highlight of the 5 min job they done and the price was very fair. I gladly recommend them for your exhaust needs in the future. read more

verne ytm!!!! walked in with my car with a rounded off oil drain plug. he quickly fixed it. out in fifteen minutes. definitely da best!!!

Excellent workmanship and customer service. This was the second time there and both situations were fixed correctly. Very reasonable and great on special requests. read more

This is the place to go! Went here after 3 other shops gave me prices that were way above market for the work I needed done. Verne is honest and a very hard worker. He knows his stuff and will get your work needed, done quickly. His prices are great. I will definitely be a regular here. Thanks Verne! read more

Honest, thorough mechanic. Had some exhaust noise that was driving me crazy. He re-welded a bracket and upon further inspection recognized that my muffler was going bad. Good prices and good service. read more

Vern took us right away and was out within the hour. He's kind and you can tell he really cares about what he does. He did a great job and gave us an awesome price! read more

Brought my Civic to Sweeney's to get help with a custom exhaust system and Vern was more than helpful and did a great job making everything fit. I couldn't be more happy with the result. Work was done while I waited and price was very reasonable! Top quality and service! read more

Honest and $30 to cut, insert a 12 inch pipe, and weld my busted pipe.

After installing my own dual exhaust on my 06 duramax, i realaized it wasn't as good as i wanted it to be. So i started calling around to different shops to see if they would work with 4" pipe (not many muffler shops do). After calling around for a good 30 minutes and having no luck, I came across Sweeneys. I gave them a call and he told me to swing by so he could take a look. After telling me what he could do i was very pleased. He told me he could get everything i needed to make it look the way i wanted, and do the custom welding and fabricating for 400+$ That was the cheapest quote i had gotten while searching. So i said go for it! After leaving my truck there all day, i returned with the highest expectations. AND BOY WAS I SURPRISED. IT LOOKED GREAT!!! Better then i couldve asked for. The tips were level from the back, the details i asked for were done and more! I wish yelp did 6 stars cause they would get it! Oh and the best part was........they only charged me 300$ read more

Got my muffler delete and my new tip for my e92. Delivery of the tip was quick and installation was fast! Drove it around and lovin the sound. They did a great job with no extra vibrations inside the car at all. Although I noticed the tip was the incorrect one, Verne and Alvin ordered the correct one right away, installed it quick and no charge. They were quick to correct the mistake. My friends has been coming to this shop since we were teens. read more

i had a large exhaust on my car...it sounded horrible, sweeny's custom muffler fixed it, i love how it looks and how it sounds.

Sweenys is very professional and did excellent service in welding catalytic converter deterrents on myToyota 4 Runner. Highly recommend their service. read more

Very friendly staff. I needed work done in a pinch and they did it fast and clean.

Took my car here for a new catalytic converter, it took 15 minutes and I was out of there. Both Alvin and Verne did a great job for a good price, I will definitely be back. read more

Took my 65 Mustang there. Installed a set of headers for a very reasonable price. Recommended by my friends who like to fix up old cars. Definitely a good garage for hot rodders. read more

Some years ago I had a complete exhaust put on my 71 Barracuda, using mufflers purchased from Year One. Vern did a great job and i never had any trouble with any of their work. Later he installed an H-pipe for me at a very reasonable cost. Recently i upgraded to a larger motor, so today he and Alvin replaced the header pipes to match up with the new exhaust manifolds. Once again, the work seemed to be conscientiously done, for a reasonable price, and within the time i had available. Most of the complaints on here seem to be about loud mufflers (flowmasters!! etc.)....all i can say is research what you're getting into, what sounds cool in the parking lot may drive you crazy on the freeway!!! read more

I had my cat replaced at Sweeny's after it was stolen in Palos Verdes. They gave me a reasonable price and had me in and out in 20 minutes. Alvin even let me take a look under the car and the welds were legit. Overall a hassle free experience, competitive price, and great service. read more

I needed a catalytic converter installed which required cutting and re-welding on an exotic sports car and needed it now.I had called many of other muffler repair shops both national and local companies and either had to make an appointment minumum 2 days ahead which were high priced or unwilling to quote a price range over the phone or unwilling to do any cutting or welding.One of the places referred me to Verne @ sweeneys and after exausting everything else I called and after a couple questions which were short and to the point he quoted me the best price and said they could do it now! I couldn't believe it and went right over met Verne the owner and they promptly put my vehicle on a lift and after some cutting and expert welding I was on my way with a handshake and genuine thank you.If your'e looking for a skilled and honest shop to do expert work for a fair price this is THE place.I don't have time or the opinion that someone that does their job deserves a good review. Sweeneys is skilled and knows their buisness but more importantly the owner Verne is honest and a good man.That's all. read more

this shop does good work, reasonable price, knowledgeable, and creative when it comes to making a custom system. they did it for me when the dealer said it could not be done and it sounds good, more MPG, and more HP. Why look elsewhere...thanks Vern and Alvin and they also help me get my engine's head gaskets replaced, Nick is a great mechanic, and know's his stuff. read more

Vern worked with me to get my 2005 Toyota 4runner so that it would pass the CA smog test. They are very honest and fair priced.

Really happy with the work they did. Called in to get a quote on getting new mufflers for my Camaro and had my car in the shop within an hour. Was able to pick up my car about 2 hours later and loved the new sound. They know what they're doing here! read more

I've been going to sweeney's for 19 years.My cousin before me went to vern to have all of his work done,everything from costom to oem replacement parts.He has always been a person who counts on return costumers,or word of mouth business.I ALL WAYS CALL HIM FIRST if I need anything he will help,if he cant he will call someone who can.I just want to say thanx vern for all the years of grate service. read more

auto REPAIR the way it should be (i.e. fixing what you have instead of just installing new parts that are never as good as what you had). i was convinced i'd need a new muffler, but the nice folks at sweeney's advised that i'd be just as well served with just a new pipe and some welding. all in all, $40 and about 10 minutes total wait time and the car is purring like a kitten once again.new muffler would have only been $95 anyway (midas charges about $400 for similar services, and even my dad, a mechanic in pennsylvania, paid $130 for a new exhaust pipe for my sister. can't be happier with the service and value. read more
