Reviews of Affordable Mufflers & Brakes Inc.
Tanya Thompson
I called this guy about 7:45 am Friday morning in a panic. My muffle came loose and was dragging on the ground while I went up to Mission Hospital as my daughter was having a baby. He asked if I could drop it off so I was able to and get a ride back to the hospital. He called about noon said it was ready. I got over there and when I went to get my debit card. He said there was no charge???!!!!!
I told him I would at least like to pay him something but he wouldn’t take it. It was an easy fix apparently.
I was shocked at this man’s kindness and gratitude. This has never happened to me before. And usually if I do take my car to a mechanic, I never have gotten out without it being $100 or more not to mention the callbacks I receive from other mechanics saying that my car needs this or it needs that. I can’t express the relief and the blessing I felt today because of his simple act of kindness.
Jonathan Gibson
This guy is AWESOME! Got there 30 mins before he opened up shop on a Friday and was on my way out of town by 9am. He charged me $10 LESS to look at it and fix. The first place I took it to and charged me $50 to tell me to take it to a muffler shop. I got this service done 3 weeks ago and just remembered I wanted to come give him a review. That’s how good he is!!
Larry Weiss
Just had my Audi Q5 brakes done. This is the 4th vehicle that we've had serviced there. No appointments so it is best to get there early in the morning. They are honest, reliable, exceedingly reasonable in their pricing. Got a call before any work was done to make sure we were OK with the diagnosis. Oh yeah, we've always been totally satisfied with their work too!
Lynn Palermo
My car's muffler was loud and not being from N.C. I was not sure but, Affordable Muffler was highly recommended and for good reason, They are wonderful. They fixed my problem and the car sounds great again.
Thank you Affordable Muffler I will not forget your fair, honest Affordable dealings with my son's Outback.
I also HIGHLY recommend Affordable Mufflers & Brakes

After going to the local dealership and being quoted $1200 for a new exhaust, I went to see these guys for a second quote. I told them that I needed a new exhaust. They showed me it was a simple repair and that no replacement was necessary. They even tightened some other things that were loose and causing some rattling noises. Total cost, $40.
It’s refreshing to deal with people who understand that honesty leads to longevity in business. If you need muffler or break work done, stop by and see these folks. They are honest, kind, and friendly.
Bernie Nikolai
I highly recommend this shop. My son goes to school down here so I was looking for an honest shop to replace the flex pipe located toward the front of the exhaust. He dropped the vehicle off at 7:30 AM and was done by noon. Fair pricing and honest work. It was well worth the 20 mile drive.
Andy Whiteman
100% satisfied! I had the catalytic converter taken from 4Runner while it was parked in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Affordable Mufflers was able to replace the stolen parts for one-tenth the price quoted by the dealership. The work was done in less than a day. Needless to say, I was thrilled. I greatly appreciate the honesty, integrity, and good work of the owner, Gary Pittillo.
Emily Murawski
Had a really good experience here. I haven't gotten my brakes done since buying my car and my car has 90K miles on it. I don't know anything about cars and would have believed anything they told me (friends and family told me I could be looking at a hefty bill depending on what was needed) but they ended up telling me I only needed front brake pads! I feel they were very honest and got me in quickly before my weekend trip to Kentucky. Definitely recommend!
Karen Q-b
Honest dependable nice Great knowledgeable. I can go on, be sure to get there early as he is busy.
Now 6 years later, he is Still in business and busy as ever! I went in for brakes and warning light. Said the brakes were still good for a while, and he does note work on traction control. No Charge! He wouldn't let me pay him for his time. That is an honest person.
Ian Bryan
Lived in this town for 20 years and you will not find a better guy, better service or better price.
4leafmetal
I had a catalytic converter shield installed on my vehicle at this wonderful shop. Spectacular work done, reasonable price, and great customer service as well. Highly recommended!
Theresa C C
The owner was helpful & has his own pipe bender so he can customize the exhaust pipes for you & plus professional service thats priced right.
Megan Evans
Such great experience here! Same-day service and $400 cheaper than we were quoted elsewhere for brakes/rotors. Our car is braking wonderfully. Thanks for the service! :)
Joel Hensley
Gary, is the best in Asheville, He will go above and beyond to see that you are taken care of and he will never miss lead you in any way. If you need muffler or brakes done he is the man to do the job. Stop by or give him a call today you will be glad that you did.
S “BigDadddy” M
My catalytic converters were stolen while on an overnight hike. I was given a fair price even when he knew I was from out of town and needed to be headed back home in two days. He got the work done quickly and I drove the 700 miles home without a single problem. If I am ever in that unfortunate situation again, I would not hesitate to go back.
Kristin Ireland
This was a unique experience, they take appointments on a first come first serve basis, so my advice go at 7:15 am. I priced out new brake pads at several shops in Asheville, this shop was the most affordable in comparison. One shop wanted to charge me $500 for brake pads and new rotors I asked Gary if he could resurface the rotors I wanted to do that, he said they were still good enough to he resurfaced the other shop didn’t. I felt that they were honest, efficient and I waited maybe an hour. It’s been two weeks and my brakes work perfectly now!
Burnsey
This shop is near my house, and I have used it many times during the 16 years I have lived here. Always excellent work, and fair prices. And everyone I have sent to this shop has told me the same thing. So nice to have such a great honest shop nearby.
William Christie
Came in for a silencer delete, and just like all the other reviews, an excellent experience, very fair pricing, works quickly and professionally. What a good dude and find.
Ryan Donoghue
I appreciate affordable mufflers and brakes so much! My brakes needed replacing and I was expecting to go in and be told all four needed new brakes. To my surprise I only needed two and was even given an estimate as to how long my other brakes would last. It is first come first serve so make sure to arrive early but I would recommend my friends and family to come here for brake repair or other car issues.
John McCarley
This shop is the real deal. The owner-operator is honest and fair and he gets the work done on time or early at the right price. You won't have to worry about being taken advantage of, or paying for work that you don't need, because this shop doesn't do that. Customer for life.
Claire L
I was having an issue with my muffler so a friend recommended this place. I dropped my car off rather than wait and he called me 3 hours later. He charged me $25 for a bolt replacement. He is a very timely, honest, and honorable man. 10/10 will recommend.
tek guy
Recently had brakes repaired on my old Ford truck and could not be happier with the quality of the work and my experience with the shop. Great work at affordable prices. I read other reviews that explained that work is done here first come, first served so I went early to get in line for scheduling for the day and ended up waiting less time for the job completion than I have at other shops even with an appointment. Highly recommended.
C. Smith
I went here because I needed to have my front brakes/rotors replaced. I was quoted $350 and $400 to fix it at other places in Asheville but decided to give Affordable Mufflers and Brakes a try because of all the great reviews. I’m so glad I did! Gary fixed my brakes in less than a day and it was only $240! I had a great experience overall and will definitely recommend this place and come back myself.
Charles Somervill
Good work and reasonable price! He's on a first-come first-serve basis I got there 10 minutes before his shop opened and there was already about seven people in front of me. Lock my car and picked it up the next day. Says something when there's that many people waiting for a business before they even open without a holiday sale.
Dennis Smith
Above and beyond expectations! I have been coming to Gary’s shop for years now and Im always impressed by how friendly and knowledgeable he is. Highly recommend this place for brake and muffler work as well as welding repairs.
David Owen
He fixed my O2 sensor due to wat he said was pulled or turn out O2 censer.... First come first serve..... Deff one of the best muffler and brakes in Asheville area.... Very good on prices as well
Mark Garver
Not only is he affordable, he’s as honest as I’ve ever known. Put my car up on the track, hand flipped the rattling part and then wouldn’t allow me to pay him a penny
Eric Marx
First, they opened on time or 7:30. I'm used to people showing up whenever in Asheville. The person I dealt with (owner?) was friendly and professional. He didn't try to upsell me on anything and the brakes felt great after the work.
Jillian M.
Only been here once, but the owner was super kind and accommodating, and it is affordable. Also, super busy but takes care of the job at a fast and convenient pace. Great place!
Laura Greer
The best! Honest, high quality and reasonably priced. And he's a super nice guy! Even as we were waiting, customers were coming in and out, telling us we had made the best decision. HIGHLY recommend!
Anita and Ted Mack
Fix at less than half the others quoted. He was honest and just did what was needed.
Angel Limon
Did work on my 2015 Cadillac did amazing job!!!! 10/10
Brad Fralin
This guy is legit. A+++ Honest, well priced, and a genuinely nice guy. I will be back. If you're looking for brakes in Asheville, this is the place.
Jessica Brightsen
I will always recommend this shop as much as I can. I went there recently for the first time.. I was told good things by my friends and told to check it out. Needed some muffler repair. So I went and met the owner, told him my issue. Left my number and he said he would call in a couple days once he has my repair plan figured out. After a day or so, he called me with the repair plan and to tell me the parts for my car he ordered the day I came in arrived. I dropped my car off, and in about an hour or so.. He called me to tell me it was done. It got it done super quickly, and the price was unbeatable. And its quality work for sure.
My car had the worst hole in the muffler, made the worst putter noise. Now its completely silent. Any time I need muffler or brake services, this is where ill go!
Thanks for taking care of my car!
-LandRover Girl
Matt Micale
Took our daughter's obnoxiously loud car in expecting a complicated, expensive fix. Instead of making up a bunch of things and charging way too much, he called a few hours after we dropped it off and told me it was a simple fix with minimal labor. The final price was remarkably reasonable. Our daughter drove off in a quiet, unoffensive car.
He was friendly and proved to be honest and fair and I definitely recommend getting service done at Affordable. Just be ready to be up early - it's first come, first served.
Shea Struder-Willis
Straightforward, honest, and swift. I went in last week with soft brakes and thought it was gonna be an expensive job. A quick diagnosis revealed I only needed an adjustment and my brakes are working great now. $60. Can't beat that!
I feel a lot safer driving in the mountains with strong breaks. Many other places mighta tried to rip me off by tacking on a bunch of costs and unnecessary parts. Not here. Thank goodness.
I will go here for future mechanical needs.
Go early, it's first come, first served, and this mechanic is popular for good reason.
aaron budhisetiawan
Been getting my brakes and Exhaust done here for yrs. Affordable pricing and efficient. Know that he doesn't take appointment. It's first come first serve and they usually start lining up before 0700.
Ley W
Fast service, affordable price. Thank you!
Ashley King
YOU MUST TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. Don't waste your time any place else. Seriously. Its first come first serve, best service ever. They care to do the job right. They fixed my car's muffler and also resurfaced my brakes EXTENDING the life of them. Gary could have easily said I needed to just get new brakes but he did not. The other place I had called wanted to charge me $200+ for brakes! Gary extended the life of mine. They ALSO went out of there way to see why my check engine light was on and gave me advice on where I should take it to get the codes looked at. BEST SERVICE EVER.
John Slabbert
I took my vehicle to two shops before this one. The 1st store quoted me $650 for a brake job, whereas the second quoted me $350. This store not only began working on my vehicle at the crack of dawn, but also ended up doing an excellent job for $150. Whereas the other stores insisted I needed to replace my brake disks etc, the gentleman who worked on my vehicle opted to simply repair them, rather than try to squeeze extra cash out of me.
I left feeling very happy, and could tell this establishment is run by good people who do good work, and will not try to take you for a ride.
Julie Guilbaud
Came to Asheville for my daughters graduation and her car was making a horrible racket!! Took it to Affordable Mufflers with no appointment. The gentleman looked at it within 5 minutes, diagnosed the problem, and had the work done in 20 minutes for $35 ! Very good fast service and friendly mechanic!
Ray Miller
Gary is a very helpful guy and a throwback to the old days when a mechanic would help you out without a bunch of forms and signatures. I needed a little adjustment made to my truck exhaust shields and he took care of it in five minutes, and didn't even charge me. Highly recommend.
Dalton Greer
Absolutely great! Had my converter and tailpipe put on my Jeep. He had it installed in under an hour, and at a great price too! Would definitely recommend.
Sean McCann
Great price. Same day service. Gerry is the sole mechanic and owner, so you know there is accountability. While doing my 4 brakes and rotors he welded a small hole in my exhaust system shut... free of charge.
Matt Lonabaugh
My daughter's muffler started making loud noises. My mechanic recommended this shopk. They took a look and determined it just needed a quick weld. $30 and a very happy customer. I am pretty sure a chain muffler place would have pushed for a replacement. I highly recommend this shop.
Chris Farmer
In from out of town. Found this business via all the excellent reviews on various sites. They are 100% accurate. Great owner and very honest service. Got our vehicle in same day and for less than $70 fixed an issue that had plagued our 14 Honda Odyssey for over a year, made worse braking downhill in the mountains. Dealer back home had said "nothing wrong". Highly recommend.
Carol Addis
I've had a lot of cars repaired in my 76 years, and this was definitely my best experience ever. Expert, competent, and fast. I talked to a man who's been Gary's customer for 30 years - now that's a recommendation!
Marty Taschek
Went in for a muffler because my exhaust was loud and rattling. Someone recommended Gary as doing good work and being fair. When he called and said my car was ready, he told me that I did not need a $100 muffler, only some replacement brackets. My car sounds great now and it only cost me $32 total. Highly recommended for all brake and muffler work!
Elaine Cignatta
I was visiting my daughter in Asheville when I became aware of a problem with my brakes that needed immediate attention. Googled auto repair and headed straight over to Affordable Mufflers&Brakes. I am so glad I did! Fast, efficient, courteous service and yes, affordable too! I was out in less than an hour with a smile on my face. It was so nice to leave an auto repair shop without the feeling I've been ripped off! I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Anna Resnick
I feel so fortunate that someone recommended Affordable Mufflers & Brakes. Gary, the owner, gave me an honest appraisal of the work that needed to be done. He is professional, knowledgeable and a person of integrity. Outstanding work and customer service!
Trenton Thomas
Gary was recommended by a family friend. I needed brakes done and also had a weird noise that I was told by other shops was a power steering belt. I dropped my car off and I picked it up the noise was gone and breaks worked flawlessly with zero noise. I recommend Gary and his shop to anyone!
James D.
The service was great! Fast, friendly, and like the sign said affordable.
1) I was a walk in with a Jeep that had an exhaust rattle. (Bad catalytic converter)
2) They had one in stock.
3) I was in and out in about an hour.
Please understand... I got lucky. I just drove up to have the problem identified so that I could set up an appointment for some time later. They were almost finished with a break job that was ahead of me, and did not have any jobs lined up to do at that time. They took a minuet, identified the issue, finished the break job, and got to work on mine. I will definitely be using them again if my other car (daily driver) needs work.
Clay Barcus
I have only used their service once but I'm very pleased. Great service. Great price. He fixed the hole in my exhaust for only $30. First come, first served basis. I would recommend to anyone for a muffler/exhaust issue.
Claire Lamberg
Despite getting there during lunch time and at the end of a line of people, my experience was awesome. My muffler rusted off and fortunately I still had it, so I was just able to go (1st come, 1st served) and get a new piece of connecting pipe welded on for $35. Cheapest fix I've ever had on a car. Fastest fix I've ever had! From them taking the car into the garage, I was probably waiting only 20 minutes or so. Maybe less. I had a book, so I was distracted. Definitely recommend these guys!
Zach Holland
Gary fixed my muffler for $40 and in ten minutes (literally) when Meineke said it would be $400 for a new muffler and would have to come back in when they got the part. Gary said I only needed a new piece of pipe. Great experience! Thank you, Gary.
Olivia McCombs
Dealer recommended replacing muffler and exhaust pipe for over a $1000. Affordable patched the kink in the pipe for $30 in like an hour and a half - spring break was saved, my vehicle's rattle is gone and I'm not in debt. I'd recommend to anyone.
Mike VanGorder
Gary at Affordable Muffler and Brake is great! Twice over the last few years, the heat shields on my Subaru have come lose. Gary tack wields them back and refuses to take any money for his time. That speaks volumes in today's world! Looking for quality at a fair price - go here!
James Adams
I've had both muffler and brake work done here more than once. Gary is honest, he's easy to work with, and he does solid work at a reasonable price. Don't bother with anyone else, you can't go wrong here.
Spencer Black
Been using them since I could first drive at 16. Honest, professional and yes "affordable" as in their title. When Joey was around he would generously give me a ride to work while they worked on my car. Gary has caught things on my vehicle that other shops have not while up on the rack.
Kayla Sanders
Great work on all three of my vehicles. Reasonable price, seemed pretty honest and straight forward. Even on one of the cars that had repeated brake issues (not his fault - its an 80s chevy - ha!), he guarantees his work and fixed for free. Cant beat that!
Paul Woodward
Since it's first come, first serve, I got there early. Having been made to take a detour down Patton because of roadworks and thus being in a rush, my truck broke a shock absorber in one that street's many potholes. Even so, I was in and out of the shop in 45 minutes with a new muffler and two new rear shocks for half the price I would have paid anywhere else. Best service ever!
Tim O.
The best place in Asheville to go for muffler service. Have been dealing with these folks for many years! Always friendly and super fast! Great Customer service!
thea chaplin
Wow...Gary is AWESOME! So friendly, knowledgable, and fast. I came in with a cat back system I had ordered online for my 84 vw and he didn't flinch at all. He just needed to get it up on the lift and get to it.I was third in line behind a 50's mercury and a late model caddy. (Needless to say he has the experience and know how to work on anything!) in and out in less than an hour and less than half of what I came in expecting to spend after quotes from other shops! 5 stars for sure...thanks Gary!
Teresa Johnson-Abernathy
My 6mo old brake job started to go out on me headed to Asheville after being told I only needed rotors. I googled and found Afforable brakes and mufflers and had a great experience start to finish! Super nice, organized, honest, affordable, communicative & fast. He even fixed a muffler problem I had and total I paid way less than I expected. I live 4 hours away and wouldn't hesitate to make a special trip if I needed to.
Michael Mize
This guy is great. He is first come first serve and opens early and leaves early, you can drop your car off before he opens and he will call you with and estimate before he does the work.
Linda Rogers
If you want excellent work done on a budget, this is the place for you. Gary is the best and a one man Master. Take the time to enjoy his music, honest work and great personality. And leave your ego behind,take a walk downtown or chat with other customers
Michael E
Honest, friendly, and fair. Called the day before to see if he would be able to tackle my project. Said he'd never worked on my model before, but said it sounded like fun (that's my kind of mechanic!). I was the first one there at 7:30 in the morning. In true first come, first serve fashion he took my car right in, got to work, and didn't stop until he was finished, even though others were waiting. Then, from what I've read about what I had done, he charged me nearly HALF of what I was expecting to pay. Very impressed!
Stevie Joe Franklin
Very professional and well knowledgeable about the work he does. Would recommend Affordable Muffler to anyone who needs this type of work.
Alan Quinn
I have known Gary most of my adult life (a long time!!) He has always done me right. I took my truck to him last week for a muffler and tailpipe. He also took care of a sensor so that I could get an inspection . He noticed that the U bolts were rusted and one was even broken! If he had not told me about that I probably never would have known and it could have been very costly and even dangerous. If you need brake or muffler work you can't go wrong here . Thanks Gary, I'd give you six or seven stars if I could!!
Cathrina D. Flynn
Drove up sounding like a freight train in a 17- yr-old Toyota, and Gary didn't blink. I waited only half an hour in his clean and comfy client area while he fixed me up, for a price so low, I felt guilty. This is the 4th car I've brought here and it's been top notch service every time. A+++
Jonathan Smith
I received top class service getting my brakes changed! It was done in a timely fashion & the customer service was excellent! This business comes highly recommended & just like the name says, it's very affordable!!
Geneva Chappell
Catalytic converter was stolen :/ Gary made the experience less stressful by giving an honest & affordable quote, quick replacement & repair.
Great customer service!!
James Manson
This place is awesome! They have replaced my muffler and my brakes (rotors, calipers, and pads). Very affordable price and great service. You may wait a little bit because they are first come first serve but it's well worth it. I wouldnt suggest anywhere else! Once they got it back it was done quickly. I'm impressed!!!😁 …
Danny Holder
I just went to affordable muffler an brakes. I had a freon leak an it made me sick well i got it fixed by a company in Hendersonville. When i got the vehicle back i still was having headaches an getting sick well they said they ran test an that it was just dust in my car. Well i took it to affordable muffler this morning an within 5 mins he found the leak an had it fixed. He was very promt, courteous, an extremly reasonably priced. If you have any exhaust issues come to this place they are located near labor ready in downtown asheville. I seen a couple of negative reviews on here but im self employeed an you cant please everyone. Some people look to sabotage others. With that said when you review this company dont go off those 2 bad reviews go off the other alnost 100 great reviews an go to this guy he wont let you down.
Thomas Fulton
A combination of my motor mounts needing replacement and 11 winters spent in the northeast combined to kill the flex pipe in my 2004 MDX. Got the motor mounts replaced & took it in to Gary this morning. I had emailed back & forth regarding hours & availability. Dropped it off around 8:00 this morning and was ready to go by 9:15. Gary is a real pro - knows exactly what he's doing and has all the parts/tools/equipment. And to top it off, the price is right. I highly recommend Gary, he deserves all the great reviews.
Mr A
Crazy good pricing with someone that actually knows what they're doing. Absolutely love this place. Will use them for all of my muffler and brake service as long as they keep this level of service and pricing up. Always recommend them too.
Bee Nice gardens and landscaping
First come first serve show up early. What this place lacks in conveiance it more than makes up for with honesty,price ,quality,and price. Yeah I said that twic, not by accident you know thats the kicker. And affordable is more than a name with this spot.
Christopher Wallace
Great, honest guy!! Went in expecting to pay more then I did. Great professional work
shane harwood
Gary is such a friendly guy, who works with what you want. He does great work, and makes it feel exciting to get an exhaust put on. I couldn’t recommend anyone else!
mikah pinegar
The best muffler shop in Asheville. Very honest and won't make you pay for work you don't need. Highly recommended
Lane Reid
The only place that I take all my vehicles. He’s busy but it’s because he’s really good and very reasonable. Very satisfied with all of his work
3 Elements Landscaping Inc
Great service we have brought multiple of our company trucks here and they have done the work quickly and have even gone the extra mile to help work around our schedule 10/10 would recommend
Kris Kjellquist
I can't imagine why one would take their car anywhere else! Dropped off my Subaru with a rusted out flange at 730am and by the time I reached my office before 8am they called and my car was done! I should have listened to them and waited. Incredibly fast service and the repair was $30.
jwhat80
Great service, Friendly, Affordable/Fair price for work completed. The work for my exhaust was completed in an hour or so (cat gasket). Very impressed and would use this shop for any and all exhaust needs in the future!!!!!
Cheryl Bradley
Amazing!!! Went to have front brakes replaced. Owner called and said it was just dirt, didn't need changed! Washed out dirt - NO CHARGE! Also $400 cheaper than major chain!!!!
Nancy Hester
Gary is very nice to deal with. Thought I had an exhaust problem...turns out it wasn't. But, he checked everything thoroughly and didn't charge me anything for his time.
Juliet Bluemling
My exhaust pipe needed welding. I had a great experience here and would highly recommend to others. Thank you!
Alexandra
I came here as an out of towner because it was recommended by several people on reddit after being told at AVERY tire I needed new brakes and calipers. I don’t my pads have about 8-10k miles left on them and they can’t find a problem with my calipers. My car is road safe to continue on my road trip. Thanks Gary!!!
William Funderburk
Chevy dealer in town wanted over 1K to get my breaks up to speed for inspection. Affordable Mufflers and Breaks did the work for just over 250 bucks. They fixed my calipers (that the Chevy dealer charged me 50 bucks to tell me they needed replacing). After a bad experience at the dealer, it was refreshing to find an honest break shop here in Asheville. Tell your friends this is place in Asheville for breaks!
Christopher Van Dyke
My muffler had a huge hole/break in it and I dropped my car off and within 3 hours and $35 later it was ready to go! Awesome one person operation; friendly; the place to go for muffler and exhaust work!
Denise Drury
My car had this rattle for months. Took it to the Honda dealer who said that nothing was wrong with my car. Took it here where they immediately knew what was wrong - fixed it in 15 minutes and didn't charge me a thing. (it was a bent heat shield) I'll definitely be coming back here and I hope you all do too!
Sean Hanson
Quoted a full replacement of exhaust manifold to fix leak at Firestone. Here he was able to find leak and fix for 1/10 of price!
Evan Franklin
This is a great shop if your needing honest work done, and it's locally owned shop, Gary is the name of the guy who works on all the cars that come in along with everything eles from phone calls, he also walked me through what he did and I'm more than happy with what I paid for the work he did, I will be back for sure
Morganna Parsons
Literally just pulled out after getting our muffler fixed. This place is convenient, quick, and definitely affordable. The (I am assuming) owner is very kind. Thank you!
Mark Herrington
Great place. Very honest. Affordable. Did mine and my wife's breaks. Definitely recommend. Very nice people. Will be using them from now on.
Deke Arndt
Great experience. Fixed what needed to be fixed. Fast. Good price. Great service.
Zach Hallstrom
Amazing and honest service. Went above and beyond to let me pay over the phone so I could get my car that night. Affordable prices like the name says!
Kyle Ponder
Took my 01 outback here expecting to spend 100 to 200 bucks to repair the exhaust, he took it in right away n had it fixed in 40 minutes n only charged me 53 bucks, nice guy n affordable work which I much appreciated

E Sylvatica
I haven't been here in years but I just came here to say this is the place I recommend for everybody all the time.
One time I came in and his business partner had literally died the previous day and he STILL SHOWED UP FOR WORK and did my brake lines that day.
I know I don't have that kind of work ethic, I'd be home crying.
