Frequently Asked Questions
Is It Safe To Drive With An Exhaust Leak?
Driving with an exhaust leak is not recommended, especially if you notice fumes inside the cabin. Even small leaks can affect air quality and may worsen over time. We suggest limiting driving and having our team inspect the system promptly so we can advise you based on what we find.
How Much Does Muffler Repair Usually Cost?
The cost of muffler repair depends on the specific part that is damaged, the extent of rust or corrosion, and your vehicle model. We inspect the system first, then provide a clear written estimate before any work begins. Our team explains options so you can choose what fits your needs and budget.
How Long Will Exhaust Repairs Take At Your Shop?
Many exhaust repairs can be completed the same day once you approve the estimate, although timing depends on the type of repair and parts availability. We let you know our expected timeframe up front, and our complimentary shuttle can help you stay on track while your car is in the shop.
What Kind Of Warranty Do You Offer On Exhaust Work?
We back our exhaust and muffler repairs with an industry-leading warranty on qualifying services. Specific coverage details can vary, and our team explains how your warranty applies when we review your estimate and again when you pick up your vehicle. This coverage is one way we work to give you added confidence.
Will You Explain My Options Before Doing Any Repairs?
Yes, we always review our inspection findings with you before repairs begin.
