Excellent exhaust shop. Great work quality. Fair prices. I've had three vintage cars' systems done by them over the past 10 years. Latest a few weeks ago. Highly recommend. read more

You simply can't beat the Muffler Shoppe for price and quality. No charge for quick inspections, doesn't try to upsell, and does great work. I walked in perfectly willing to drop $1,500 or more on a new exhaust for my old landcruiser, and walked out with a custom install job (on a new catalytic converter I provided) for under 500 bucks. Forget Meinke or other big chains - go here and get what you need at a good price. read more

Friendly; accommodating; professional. It's hard getting them on the phone, but once you do, phenomenal!

Audi A3. I hit a big pothole and the muffler lost its weld where the turbo meets the downpipe. I removed the muffler system and brought it in and they welded it right up at a very reasonable price within minutes. Friendly customer service. Highly recommend taking your vehicle here for any muffler service. read more

Great experience at the Muffler Shoppe! Came in and no hassle reservation and estimate. A week later I dropped off my LR Disco 1 @ 9AM with quite a few others. I needed them to fabricate a replacement catalytic converter that was stolen one night. I was a bit stressed out on what needed to be purchased and where to have it fixed. My normal to-go LR place was backed up for over a month and they recommended a local muffler shop. I looked around in Yelp and found "The Muffler Shoppe" and it had great reviews. Took an overnight stay waiting for the right O2 sensor and they stored my LR in their garage overnight. No problem with me, that next day the part arrived and they quickly fabricated a fix. I highly recommend this shop and the craftsmanship and quality of the work was top notch with a 1 year warranty. read more

Very quick. And very knowledgeable. I didn't even need to pay anything, even though he looked at my car !

This is a wonderful shop and they are very honest about what they can and cannot repair!

I will definitely take all my vehicles here going forward for repairs!!! read more

Walked to see if they could weld a broken hanger real quick. Lady at the front desk said they were booked. She went in to ask the guy if they had time since it should be real quick. They pulled in my car, welded up the broken hanger and I was on my way in less than 20 minutes. What else can I say?! read more

Lifetime Muffler Brake & Radiator told me it was going to be $250 to fix my muffler. The owner here let me know that all I needed was a re-weld. He did it for $100. Very friendly and honest - I would recommend this place to anyone. $100 most definitely beats $250. Fast, Honest and Fair. What else do you want from any business? Will definitely be back for my exhaust/muffler repair needs! Excellent work for a great price in the most time efficient manner-- highly recommended. Thanks for such a great experience! read more

I call them everyday . Nobody answers the phone. But when I go there. They'd tell me it's not busy & bring my car in. Knowing it's not drivable because it needs a muffler. I can't even get a quote Smfh. U want me to bring in my car which is currently unavailable to drive??? Have it stuck there so I have to pay u to get it fixed??? Pay u $150 for diagnosis when I know what needs to be replaced??? SCAMMERS read more

Just realized I never gave this place a review... I've been coming here and having Jake work on my cars since they moved from Sunnydale Muffler. Jake is reasonably priced, super fast, and does good work. He is usually swamped with appointments booked at least a week out but is usually able to squeeze me in first thing in the mornings. However, recently, Jake is not really interested in doing more complex custom exhaust work like before. Jake is still an extremely trust-worthy, no non-sense type of guy. I'll keep coming here for quick chop and weld exhaust work. read more

Again Jake of Muffler Shoppe did me a really good favor today. I stopped by his shop unannounced and yet he found time to fix my muffler no ifs no buts. I was at his shop almost a year and half ago to have my catalytic converter fixed after it was stolen, I remember Jake because of his workmanship and honest to goodness business he's running. Jake is my go to guy, my home base for anything exhaust and welding. Honest business that I recommend for everyone out there. read more

I give the Muffler Shoppe and Jake the highest possible recommendation. He is knowledgeable, professional, and HONEST!! Affordable too! His estimate to replace my stolen catalytic converter was less than half of a competitors bid and a third of the dealership. Trust me and don't go anywhere else. mark read more

Great price! Less than a week wait for appointment. I have a Toyota Prius and had them put a security shield cover over my catalytic converter that I purchased online. Employees were friendly and helpful. read more

This place was great. They came in under quote, worked fast, did good work, and were friendly.

Fast and friendly service & reasonably priced, this is the place to go for a muffler replacement! While I wasn't happy that I had to replace my muffler (someone stole it thinking they were getting my catalytic converter), this was a good experience read more

Had my catalytic converter stolen (like many people in the area), so I came here to get it replaced. They were quick, efficient, and very kind! I appreciated that they told me the different prices it might cost depending on how bad the damage was from the thieves, and that they were able to fix it within a few hours. Definitely recommend if you're in need of a cat converter (or any of their other services!) read more

New review for past work. Dave did my exhaust for my '98 Chevy Silverado quickly and inexpensively about 6 years ago. He was great to talk to...he obviously knew what he was doing and loved it. I'm looking to get an exhaust system put on my '69 Chevy C20 and this is the first place I will go for a quote/work. In fact, I'll be there this week! :-) Looking forward to meeting Jake. read more

Best muffler shop I've ever been to, I am so happy that that they're in my neighborhood! I had my truck quoted and fixed within (1) hour of contacting shop and the work included fabricating parts and welding, I am actually still in shock at how quick and affordable the service was, highly recommend this shop! read more

Worst service ever! I highly recommend doing it yourself before taking your car here!! The owner is rude as hell!!!

Came in under quote, despite some quirks with my BMW muffler. Awesome! Friendly staff too. read more

These guys do great work. Anything exhaust related I wouldn't hesitate taking it to Muffler Shoppe. I've had several mufflers welded on, a muffler delete, resonator delete, a tip welded on, etc. All the work I've had done with these guys is quality and not for a bad price. Highly recommend. read more

The Volvo dealership wanted us to replace the whole system for $1500 plus labor. I explained the problem with the car (including pictures) to the m Muffler Shoppe and made an appointment for 9 am Friday. The ferry was late, and I didn't get them the vehicle until almost 10 am. We headed back to the ferry expecting to return in the last afternoon. Just before we drove onto the ferry dock, they called and said it was done. We picked up the Volvo and returned to the dock. Drove right aboard a very late ferry and were home before noon. Total cost was less than the two ferry fares. Under $45. Miracle workers. AGAIN. read more

I'd like to say this place could be great but a little effort in customer service would go along way. The shop is owned and operated by a man named Dave. It's in a less than desirable area but I guess it makes for a better profit - or maybe there's a higher concentration of cars in need of muffler nearby. I realize it's an auto shop, but even being so it is pretty grimy. Anyway, I first came here a few years ago. Dave installed some magnaflow mufflers per his suggestion as they were a little cheaper than a stock replacement. The car ended up having a horrible drone at freeway speed but but I chalked that up to my mistake for allowing him to install the aftermarket mufflers on my car. What bugged me about that first trip was when I went to pickup the car. Dave greeted me by saying "well it might not be fast but at least it sounds fast!" I chuckled awkwardly and he continued with a few other comments like "too bad it's not a five speed." I found it odd that he was openly berated a customers car preferences. Some years later I decided to give Dave another shot at an exhaust job. He did a good enough job the first time and like I said, the freeway drone was probably my mistake. It helped that he quoted the job $100 cheaper than the next guy. When he got done with the second job he asked "do you want to pay now or start it up first?" I decided to start it up and upon doing so we both heard there was an obvious exhaust leak. "Turn off the car" was all he said and seconds later I was sitting in my car being lifted by the hydraulic lift. I'm sure more than a few safety rules were broken that day but I attributed it to eccentricity. That job turned out fine. Most recently I Dave to have some exhaust work done on a friends car. He was talking a million miles per hour on the phone an quoted me $150 to fix the exhaust. That's great, for the price I can deal with his idiosyncrasies. I showed up right on time for my appointment and parked outside the garage door, thinking we would roll the car right in. When I met him in the shop he scoffed "OH, so you're blocking the driveway. Move your car." Alright sure, he could have asked a little more politely but that's fine. A few minutes later we went to check out my car. During that time someone else parked outside the garage door and Dave began to yell at them, "What don't people get, move your car!" It seemed obvious he should paint a 'do not block' in front of the garage doors. But again I was just there to get a muffler fixed. The other customer came into the shop proceeded to scold him like a child for blocking his driveway and then interrupting him while he was with another customer (me). It was all very awkward. His quote ended up quoting me three times the price he gave on the phone quote. He also suggested we install a magnaflow muffler (which I heard him suggest to the other customer before I left). Before he gave me a quote I noticed he only called one shop to find the part he needed. That's all fine if it's a good price, but he obviously wasn't going to shop around for a decent price. I didn't even see a computer anywhere in his shop. I ended up buying an OEM muffler on eBay and having a different shop install it for $80. It isn't exactly rocket science installing a muffler and they did a fine job. It took me about 5 minutes to find the part and it saved me over $350 from going to The Muffler Shoppe. I'm reading a lot of reviews where people mention Dave is rough around the edges, but that he's a real solid guy at heart. It seems Dave relies on condescending his customers as a first impression to assert his superiority then tries to buddy up by offering a cheap fix and fast turnaround. Sort of a Stolkholm syndrome and hive midn mentality among these patrons. Strictly business? A part of any business is customer service or at the very least just not being a dick. I give this place a 1-star because literally every time I've been here Dave somehow manages to make the mood extremely unpleasant and suggest installing a manganflow muffler on a car where one really doesn't belong. That along with the pricing on the last trip. read more

I have never enjoyed spending money on my car...especially my commuter car....But I have to tell you. Dave over at the Muffler Shoppe is awesome. Not only is the man a pipe-bending, custom welding genius, but he is entertaining and sharp as hell. Backstory: I bought a 2002 Honda Civic from a local car lot...only minor upgrades done to it which is why I bought it...Cold air intake and a new exhaust system...Stainless steel all the way to the tail. Only one problem...the guy took out the catalytic converter...Long story short had to have one installed. Mind you...2.5" all the way to the tail. So I take it to the Muffler Shoppe recommended by my other car shop for general stuff the Firestone Courtesy Tire in West Seattle. They tell me this guy is the shit for this stuff. I run it over and Dave takes a few minutes... "I can have it for under $300 installed." I think...Ok...So I figure that means under $500 the way mechanics usually work. Anyway...I call Dave back up later...Ok...When can I drop off the car to get it done...He goes "I can do it today...takes about an hour"...I'm thinkin'...uh huh...ok. So I take it in...He has me pull the car in and I tell him I'll wait up front, out of the way. He says..."Naa...I like the company anyway." So I stay generally out of the way and he goes to work...Now mind you...As we start the work, he finds several other issues and I start thinking "here we go...Price is going to skyrocket." Turns out the cable and sensor for my car is only about 1ft long so he has to move where the converter SHOULD go and puts it inline under the car....and because of that...he also has to HAND MAKE a section of bending pipe that comes off the header because it would hang too low. He proceeds to cut off the pipe section and CREATED A NEW one...in about 5 minutes. All fully welded up and everything. Keep in mind he is talking the whole time about growing up around planes and how he is a pilot and about history of flight stuff I didn't even know...and I work for Boeing....14 years now...This guy is not only sharp and funny...but very multi-taskable. Anyway...All said and done...In and out of the shop in 1.5 hours...learned a ton about planes and flying I didn't know...and car...get this...$285...not making this up.... All in all..if I ever need any of this kind of work done again...on my Rubicon or another car...on ANY vehicle...it will be this guy Dave at the Muffler Shoppe. Period. read more

Was referred to The Muffler Shoppe by Roxbury Auto Parts. My 95 Pointiac Bonneville was running loud and I need to find out what was going on. I arrived at the shop and met Dave. He's a fiery, sarcastic and funny business owner. It caught me off guard at first, then I realized he's just really funny and I'm too serious! Anyway, he had me turn on the vehicle, stuck his head under under my car and said my muffler had a hole in it the size of his first. He said he could put a new one on in under a half-hour for $90! What? Did I just hear under a $100 dollars to put it on now? Sweet. Was done within 15-20 minutes. I paid, shook hands and left a happy customer that wants to tell others about his straight forward, no nonsense, inexpensive and speedy work. So, here I am telling you about it! Oh, he likes root beer. If you want to bless him, bring some. I plan on stopping by and doing the same. Go see him. Be ready for a hilarious ride of muffler goodness. read more

A few weeks ago my center and rear exhaust system split down the middle from rust and I was told by Firestone that it would cost over $2,000 to replace the system. I decided to get a second opinion to see if there was a way I could repair the issue without spending thousands of dollars, so I brought my car to Dave and am SO GLAD I did. This guy knows his stuff and is truly a welding expert. I couldn't recommend his services more. He is super fast, kind, simple, and SO INEXPENSIVE. I literally cannot remember the last time I brought my vehicle somewhere and felt better taken care of; Dave's can-do attitude is incredibly refreshing. I walked out of the shop after 30 minutes (didn't even have an appointment) and my total was $55. Issue is fixed and my car is nice and quiet again. Dave, you saved me and my wallet. read more

Strictly Business Dave at Ye Olde Muffler Shoppe is a class act. No nonsense. Not that he doesn't do nonsense, he doesn't do nor does he tolerate nonsense. He's also not a grouch, he just likes to do what he likes to do and he does good work fast and cheap. My visit this morning came courtesy of a referral from another West Seattle automotive expert (Ben at Complete Auto Repair). My exhaust fell apart on my 20+ year old car. He referred me to Dave. I showed up early, Dave greeted me but told me to wait until 9am even though his bays were all empty. I sat and waited the 6 minutes and we got right to it. I drove the car onto his lift and left the engine running. Dave lifted it, diagnosed the issues and gave me some price options within just a few minutes. He got my phone number, wrote up the bill, and I went and got coffee for an hour. Upon return, my car is so quiet I have to look at the tachometer to figure out when to shift because I can't hear the engine. Regarding the single 1-star review here: Yes, Dave is rough around the edges, and he will say some stuff that sounds like he has no patience. The edges are where it stops though. While I was waiting until 9am, a landscaping crew came with a huge truck. Dave launched into the guy for not showing up or calling to cancel an appointment the day before. The guy apologized and Dave said something neither funny nor nice. Then, Dave said "I'll have it ready for you by noon, come back then" and they shook hands. I bet it'll be cheaper than anywhere else in town too. Bottom Line: If you want kindness or if you want factory certified parts, go somewhere else and pay crazy money for the underside of your god damn car. If you pick Dave, just do what he says and understand that the moment the harsh words leave his craw, he's already thinking about something else. You'll save a ton of money. I'd recommend Ye Olde Muffler Shoppe to anyone who asks. read more
