Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to keep driving with an exhaust leak?
We generally recommend limiting driving if you suspect an exhaust leak, especially if you smell fumes inside the cabin. Exhaust gases should exit safely behind the vehicle. Our team can inspect the system, explain any risks, and help you decide whether it is safe to drive further.
How long does muffler repair usually take?
Many muffler repair jobs can be completed in the same day, although timing depends on the specific issue and parts availability. We provide a realistic timeframe after our inspection. If you need to be elsewhere while we work, our complimentary shuttle service can help you stay on schedule.
How will you explain what my car needs?
We explain recommended exhaust or muffler repairs in clear, everyday language. Our team walks you through what we found, why a repair is suggested, and what your options are. If you like, we can show you the affected parts so you can see what we are talking about.
Can you help if my car failed emissions?
Yes, we can inspect your vehicle if a test result points to possible exhaust problems. Our technicians check for leaks, damage, or issues that might affect emissions performance. We then review our findings and help you understand what repairs may be needed before you return for another test.
What warranty do you offer on exhaust repairs?
We back our exhaust and muffler repairs with an industry-leading warranty on parts and labor. Specific terms can vary by service, and we explain the coverage that applies to your repair before work begins. Our goal is to give you confidence that we stand behind the work we perform.
