Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car needs exhaust or muffler repair?
Loud noises, a drop in fuel efficiency, vibrations during driving, or a noticeable smell of exhaust inside the cabin are all signs your car may need attention. These symptoms can be related to leaks, corrosion, or other problems with your exhaust system. If you are unsure, our ASE-certified technicians offer a comprehensive inspection and will walk you through our findings. We work to make the issue (and your options) as clear as possible so you can make the right decision for your vehicle.
