Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to drive with an exhaust leak?
Driving with a suspected exhaust leak is not recommended because fumes can affect air quality around your vehicle. If you notice strong exhaust odors, unusual noise, or visible damage, it is wise to limit driving and schedule an inspection so our team can check for safety concerns.
How long does muffler repair usually take?
Muffler repair time varies based on the vehicle and the parts involved. Many straightforward repairs can be completed the same day, especially when parts are readily available. During your visit, we explain the expected timing up front so you can decide whether to wait or use our shuttle service.
Will you explain exhaust repairs before you start?
Yes, we review our findings and recommended exhaust repairs with you before any work begins. Our team explains what we found, why certain parts need attention, and what the estimate includes. You have the opportunity to ask questions and approve the plan that works best for you.
Do your exhaust repairs come with a warranty?
Most exhaust and muffler repairs performed at our shop are covered by our industry-leading warranty on qualified parts and labor. We explain how this coverage applies to your specific repair at the time of service. Our goal is to give you peace of mind long after you leave our parking lot.
Can you help if my car failed emissions?
