Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to drive with an exhaust leak?
Driving with an exhaust leak is not recommended because fumes can enter the cabin, and some leaks can worsen over time. If you notice strong odors, unusual noises, or visible damage, it is best to have your vehicle inspected promptly so we can advise you based on our findings.
How much does muffler repair usually cost?
The cost of muffler repair varies depending on your vehicle, the extent of rust or damage, and which parts need to be replaced. We inspect the system first, then provide a clear written estimate and explain each line so you understand exactly what you are approving before work begins.
How long will my exhaust repair take?
Many exhaust repairs can be completed on the same day, although timing depends on parts availability and the complexity of the repair. We will give you our best estimate once we inspect your vehicle. If you need to be elsewhere, our complimentary shuttle service can often help you keep your day moving.
