Bay Area/Central Valley muffler shop

ccdre · 07-06-2017, 04:22 PM

Guys do you know of any trustworthy muffler shops that do not have ridiculous appointment wait times?

I love minute muffler in Dublin but he's booking appointments 2 weeks out

:. I'm very impatient and don't mind driving for same day service.

Thanks!

American Automotive in Fremont is on the shop list of this forum, and did my 2-pipe muffler mod months ago. When I called it, it was ~1 week out or so.

If you've got a good thing going with Minute Muffler, I'd stick with them... it pays to stick with a trusted shop

My guys over at first choice automotive in Campbell. They are not a muffler shop, but they have all the piping you need, and the owner Bill worked for Midas for many years prior to opening the shop. Vic did my Remus on the 335i, and even put that sucker back to stock when I needed it. Best part is they can get you in pretty quick.

Exhaust Works in Belmont. Does amazing work, and is extremely fair when it comes to pricing. Had some work done on my Golf, but he told me he's worked on many E92 M3's and has done over 60 exhaust mods. Great guy to work with!

If I can piggyback a bit - any Bay Area shops that have experience welding inconel (MPE) exhausts?

Just so I don't abandon my own thread, I ended up going back to Minute Muffler in Dublin, Scott did an awesome job as usual
