Dealer quoted me $1,380 for a complete exhaust assembly. Pete cut out the rusted section, welded in new pipe and I was back on the road the same afternoon for a fraction of it. Sounds better than it did before it broke.
Most of our customers were sent by a customer.

Took my daughter's first car in for a safety inspection. Pete walked us through the report line by line, showed us what actually mattered and what could wait, and never once tried to pad the bill. In this industry that's rare.
Check engine light had been on for months. Two other places just cleared the code and sent me home. Pete actually traced it โ a chafed wire behind the intake. Fixed properly, first time, and it hasn't come back.
Honest pricing and he texts you photos of what he found. I've sent three coworkers here now and nobody's come back disappointed. That's about the highest compliment I can give a shop.
Told me my brakes had another season in them when he easily could have sold me a full job. Came back in the fall and had it done. Anyone who leaves money on the table to keep you honest earns a customer for life.
Custom exhaust on my project car. Pete listened to what tone I wanted rather than just selling me the loudest thing on the shelf. Bends are clean, welds are tidy, fitment is perfect. Real craftsmanship.
Stranded on Speedvale with a dead alternator on a Thursday afternoon. Called, and they got me in the next morning and had it done by noon. Fair price, no drama, no lecture about maintenance.
Great work and fair pricing. Only reason it's four stars is they're closed weekends, which is tricky when you work full time. The early-bird key drop mostly solves it. Quality of the repair itself was excellent.
Used them for a pre-purchase inspection on a used truck. Pete found a rusted frame section the seller hadn't mentioned. That inspection saved me somewhere north of six thousand dollars.

Sixty seconds that genuinely changes our week
Google reviews are how independent shops compete with chains that have marketing departments. If we did right by you, a couple of sentences goes a very long way.
- Mention the specific service โ "exhaust repair" or "safety inspection" helps other people find us
- Photos in your review are gold; Google weights them heavily
- We reply to every review, positive or otherwise
- Something went sideways? Call the shop first โ we'd rather fix it than read about it
Replace YOUR_PLACE_ID with the shop's Google Place ID โ instructions in README.md.
Yes, there really is a free cleaner in it for you.
The four things people keep mentioning
"He didn't upsell me"
By a wide margin the most common phrase in our reviews. It says more about the industry than about us.
"He showed me"
Photos, measurements, the old part on the bench. People remember being shown, not being told.
"Same-day turnaround"
Especially on exhaust. Fabricating on site means we're not waiting three days on a part number.
"I've sent people here"
Referrals are the whole business model. It's why we treat every first visit like an audition.
