    I have a 1989 F350 Ford truck that was having a rattle underneath. Turns out it was the catalytic converter. Took it over to Jake at muffler man and as I suspected it was going to be a little difficult to find a new one. After searching through his suppliers, he finally found that magna flow was the only company that still makes them for that truck. He ordered it up and installed it. I thought the truck was just getting old and losing power, but with this new catalytic converter, all the power is back and the rough idle that it had disappeared. I have been doing business with muffler man for over 30 years now and have always been extremely pleased with their work.

    I met a friend a few years ago via Instagram who lives in South Carolina and he messaged me about The Muffler Man. At one time both of us owned '68 Mustang Coupe's and he now has a '65 Fastback and I have a '72 Camaro. With that said, I was in the area for a business mtg. and stopped by in the afternoon to see the shop in-person and talk with them because I had a number of muffler-related questions. Lee, the owner, helped me with specific headers to buy (looking for something that would drop right in) and we went over X-pipe vs. H-pipe, and discussed the other questions on my list. When I left, the next day I called two header manufacturers to verify their fit, availability, pricing, etc. Once I had that information, I called Lee back to schedule an appointment for the following week. Initially he said it would take 2.5 days to complete so I planned accordingly. Lee actually finished in less than two days. Along the way, he fixed/tidied up a few other things for me during the installation which I greatly appreciated. The car sounds significantly different compared to my Mustang. It took me a few drives to get used to it and I love it. Same mufflers on both cars, Flowmaster Super 44's, the difference being I didn't change the headers on the Mustang. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to see Lee again and mind you, he's a solid hour from my house. Very friendly, professional, and definitely knows what he's doing. This turned out to be a great referral from my friend living on the east coast.

    Perfect job done on my car. I got a muffler delete and a Y pipe and only took about an hour and a half maybe less. The guy was super nice and for a good price (i think). 100% recommend.

    Muffler Man is awesome! This shop is exactly what I was hoping for Professional, organized, and at a great price I have been contacting all my friends to let them know we have a quality muffler shop to go to Thank you Muffler Man! Robby W. Huntington Beach, CA

    Brought my M2 in without an appointment for an uneven exhaust install. Prior to this, I brought my car to ABS in El Monte and another exhaust shop. They told me they can't do anything about it. Jake checked my car out and said "I don't know if I can get it perfect but I can surely make it look better than that" Left my car and picked it up pretty quickly and the difference is night and day. I was pretty doubtful anybody could do anything to fix my issue but Jake and his expertise and professionalism exceeded my expectations. Jake thanks for making my day I would definitely come back here for any car needs I have knowing your shop is honest, timely, affordable and most importantly deliver outstanding work and customer service.

    A true craftsman with attention to detail. My Big Block sounds amazing and Lee and his crew went above and beyond. If you need exhaust work and can get an appointment, go to anyone else..

They called me almost everyday to update me on the process, any costs, or timing concerns. Gino handles the front and was extremely personable, helpful, and honest throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. Jose did the actual work on my car and did a fantastic job -- my Fiat is running great! My ac was causing lots of issues and has been running cold for a week now! I am always hesitant to have just anyone work and the Fiat but he clearly knew the car and specific details.

I asked for oil change only and got quoted over 200$? He tried to say the better oil was recommended but like dude I can go to valvoline right now for 100$ no questions asked.. I think they try to charge more because they use high tech diagnostic equipment which is great for major issues but for simple things I was displeased to get upsold when my almost new car is in great condition.....

Luckily, her older car uses the newer, less expensive Freon. I just hung out while he recharged the system, and it was ready to go about 20 minutes later. The cost was only $150, money well spent to get ice cold air conditioning back. The most recent visit was to troubleshoot a service error code and ABS and brake warning lights. I was hoping this would just be a sensor on one of the wheels, but Frank said it looked like the main ABS ECU unit was faulty. Given the potential cost of the repair, it didn't make sense given the value of the car. I appreciated his honest opinion. He said there was no charge, but I still tipped him for his time because he always takes great care of me. I have tried a few other shops in the area over the years, and had initial good experiences. However, they all eventually gave me an estimate I knew as wrong, or didn't do work they said they did. I've been going to Frank ever since, and trust him 100%.

They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it.
