I went to Island Muffler because my muffler pipe came loose. I asked if they would be able to repair it and they told me it was unrepairable because they would damage the pipe (which was not rusted at all) while trying to fix it. I was quoted just under $1400. I then called Budget Brake and Muffler. They were able to look at it right away and told me it was an easy fix and would cost $130. $130!!!!!! My dad has also seen Island Muffler take complete advantage of women who seem like they don't know about cars. He watched one of their technicians tell a woman the whole front end of her car needed

Friendly service however due to covid was unable to preform basic muffler fabrication and repair. Will definitely return once a new fabricator is hired.

Ty and his crew were terrific to deal with for my older Nissan Axxess. I had a family member go in for me and while there was a bit of a delay (hoist issue), he loaned my family member a car so she could do her shopping for a few hours. Ty quoted me a fair price and that was the price, no surprise, no drama. They set such a good example of what a repair shop be like. Thank you for taking care of me and my family.

Best muffler and exhaust service ever. Can't be more happy! The car drives like it it has a new more powerful engine. The team made also extra minor welding repairs free of charge. Very attentive to detail staff.
