I had them do exhaust on my first car 10 years ago and they did a great job for a fair price. This time, I was having them do a simpler exhaust system. I was charged more than 500$ for them to unbolt my muffler and weld on a 200$ Muffler. If I loved the sound then it would be ok but it sounds really bad. I did some research and it says online that a chambered muffler shouldn’t be used with a turbo so now I feel like I need to replace the muffler again to protect my engine and have the vehicle sound decent.

Very professional and great place to get car fix and I wouldnt hesitate to come back in the future. Quality comes with price but have peace of mind.

Had a them do muffler jobs for me. One for a 2015 Mustang and the other for a 2007 Corvette. Both jobs were extremely professional. I am really happy with the service and openness of their work.

Great Place, honest people, very good service. Ive been coming to this place for almost 7 to 10 years now. In fact i know most of the folks working there. And the main guy, Alan is now my good friend. :-) I blindly trust him for all my Automotive work.

A repair shop that cant be matched. Between the cost of repairs, to the combined years of experience between the three techs they have. An honest shop that can perform any repair on any make.

Great shop. Had my muffler rehung after some custom work on my jeep. They were more than happy to work with me on how I needed it placed.

BOY OH BOY AM I STOKED TO WRITE THIS REVIEW.Ive been going here since I first got my car. Ive got a total of three brake jobs done and one exhaust job. But this is the third strike with this business and they will no longer have my business.The 1st strike was when I got my brakes replaced, found out they didnt replace with OEM pads, but charged me for OEM. I found this out because when paying the dude up front said, whoever put your pads on last time, put low quality brake pads, we put OEM on for you this time. Guess where I got the replacement done, here. Guess who didnt believe me, them.The 2nd strike was when I got an exhaust done, horrible welding work. Clumps of metal and sharp points everywhere. Never confronted them about this, because the car sounds like, but the job is trash.The 3rd strike is why Im writing this review. I scheduled an appointment at 11:30am because I had a very busy day in front of me. Dropped off the car and was told theyll let me know what needs to be replaced by the hour. Never got a follow up call within the hour. Followed up after two hours, they still dont know whats wrong with my brake squeal yet. After three hours, they told me my front brakes need to be replaced. Sure, please proceed with the repair. I get back and after I give them my card, I enter my pin and pay, they tell me, whoever did your brake job last time, forgot brake pad shims. Safety wise is fine, but the noise might occur again in the future. Guess who did the brake job for the LIFE OF MY CAR, THIS BUSINESS. They told me to find the receipt from 1 and 1/2 years ago and theyll cover it. They should wish I found the receipt, because I wouldnt be writing this review.I love supporting local businesses I really do, but this is the last straw. Hold your business accountable and take care of your returning customers. Dont BS me multiple times. Im over this business and Im going to do everything I can to stray potential customers away. Thanks for wasting my time, scamming me prior, and for losing parts of my car.Oh yeah, wheres my damn wheel lock that I left in the cup holder. Cant find it anywhere in the car.

I was 60 miles out of town late on a Friday. My newer late model Infiniti developed a miss. 7 in a row wanted $200 for diagnosis and its getting late so leave the car overnight. Guarantee reputation must have been apparent, another neighborhood repair shop owner called guarantee and ask them if they can check my car out and help me, and they would stay open late. They said bring it down. Not an easy diagnosis, they found a single-cylinder igniter failed. It cost 80 bucks and they charged me 149 in total. The best repair experience I ever had!!!Now Im towing my cars from Oakley and Brentwood. Im on my third car getting the same treatment. Now I wont go anywhere else
