Muffler Repair

You hear a lot of unusual noise when you crank up the engine and accelerate, and fumes and a burnt smell surround your car. It might be time for muffler repair.

Why get your muffler serviced by professionals?

Our technicians are highly qualified and experienced in performing all muffler repair services. We can improve your vehicle's performance by monitoring the quality and state of your exhaust system. Our team can pinpoint and fix muffler problems or anything impacting the overall efficiency of your exhaust, including service to catalytic converters.

A faulty exhaust system can affect your vehicle's gas mileage without proper monitoring. As a result, you will not only notice increased spending at the gas pump, but you may also fail the emission criteria for your vehicle.

If your vehicle's exhaust system prevents you from passing a mandatory emissions test, you should bring it directly to our auto repair shop. Our techs can fix or repair any exhaust system's pipe layout and do it correctly the first time.

How to know if your muffler needs to be fixed or replaced

Here are three signs your muffler needs replacement.

1: There's A Lot Of Noise.
The muffler's primary function is to cancel out and dampen exhaust gasses and sound waves created by the engine. So, generally speaking, your vehicle should run smoothly and quietly. However, if your car is louder than usual when you crank it up, rattles when you are sitting idle, or is particularly noisy when you accelerate, it could be a problem with your muffler or another part of your exhaust system.

2: You Smell Fumes.
It could be your muffler if you see a lot of exhaust smoke coming from your tailpipe or smell fumes while driving. Exhaust fumes smell different from gasoline fumes. In addition, exhaust fumes have a distinctive burnt smell. Be careful: what you smell may be carbon monoxide escaping via holes in your muffler or exhaust pipe. If this is the case, get it inspected and repaired immediately. Exhaust gasses can be lethal if you breathe them in long enough.

3: You Notice A Difference In Your Gas Mileage.
Your muffler helps control how quickly exhaust flows out of your vehicle. When the exhaust system is not working correctly, your engine has to work overtime to get enough compressive force.

Muffler Repair Versus Replacement

When you run into problems with your muffler, whether there is a hole in the muffler or other issues happening in the exhaust system, it's essential to have the issue fixed immediately. Otherwise, you are looking at the noise mentioned above, violation fine or decreased efficiency of your vehicle's fuel system.
Whatever the case, there is always a potential to fix the broken muffler, but there may be situations where a replacement is necessary. Our expert technicians are happy to help you make the best decisions for your vehicle's muffler and exhaust system.
Our team specializes in mufflers, and we have the proficiency and experience to perform various muffler repairs, from simple to complex.

Driving and Recharging

Myths

Driving your car completely recharges your battery.

Facts

No matter how long you drive your car or keep it running idly, it will not recharge the battery to 100%. The way to fully recharge your car battery is by using a high-quality, mains-powered battery charger.

Car Failing to Start

Myths

If your car won’t start, it’s always the battery’s fault

Facts

A flat or dying battery or corrosion on the battery’s terminals is a common cause of your car failing to start. Still, other causes should be considered, such as a faulty starter motor/alternator, clogged fuel injectors, or worn spark plugs.

Defined Battery Lifespan

Myths

A car battery has a defined lifespan.

Facts

How long your battery will last is determined by how fresh it was at the installation, the installation itself, and other factors like how often you drive the car and maintain the battery.

Leaving It On the Floor

Myths

Leaving a car battery on a concrete floor can discharge it.

Facts

This used to be valid during the days when battery cases were made from wood, but it is no longer relevant for modern car batteries. Battery cases are now made of hard rubber or polypropylene, which seals much tighter, and with these, discharge is no longer a concern.

Discharging Faster in the Winter

Myths

Batteries discharge faster in winter.

Facts

The optimal outside temperature for a battery is around 20°C. But when temperatures climb higher, the battery will naturally self-discharge causing it to age faster.
