Mufflers repair service near Landrum, SC

Always great work performed, and the staff is professional and honest.

Truck drives worst coming out then when it went in. I feel I was overcharged a may entire front ends shakes. Never have I had this happen to me.

We have used this garage for many of our repairs and had been a good place that we cld trust until our last visit a few days ago! The young lady in the office is very rude and pushy, definitely trying to make her commission, she trues forcing you to hook vehicle on diagnostic and if you refuse the service she gets rude and smart ass, we knew it was the radiator leaking and needed a new one period! It ended up being over 640 bucks for them to remove radiator and out a new one in, bolting it in and replacing fluids! We get there to pick it up and the woman meets us outside waving her hands everywhere saying we replaced the radiator but don't know if car is gonna work claimed it was still leaking!cuz we didn't hook it up!! I be dammed if we did get it it to house just cpl blocks and temp Guage as hot as it cld go and then wldnt start at all! We ended up having to pay someone else to complete the job they didn't do!! They didn't put enough fluid in it, didn't make sure the air pockets were burrped out hoses and make sure tings were flowing properly! If you guys are smart, put a hidden camera under the hood like we did!!! so you can make sure what they are doing to an honorable job! You know like they are definitely getting paid enough damn money to do! on your vehicle so it does not need more unnecessary repairs and money into. We have never had problems like this with them but we definitely will not go back after this! The young lady needs to learn respect and be careful what and how she says things or she will run everyone out of there. The mechanics may think about what they are doing after this. They know what was done and not and if they want take this problem go away they can contact me Be careful everyone everyone is out to rip you off

Great service as always!

First the quote of 450.00 was a lot steeper than before, but since he was local I gave him the job. Upon pickup of the vehicle a quick inspection I instantly noticed the mufflers were interfering parking brake cables. I was told this was "normal". It is not as the movement will either wear out the cables or cut a hole into the mufflers. I was then told it was my fault as I wanted "quiet mufflers". After a bit they finally fixed the problem. On to round two, once I had left the shop I notice there was now a large flat spot in the throttle from tip-in to 1/4 throttle. Looking closely to my other truck I notice that the new exhaust was much larger in size from front to rear. This does have an affect upon the operation of an engine. My case with a stock engine used in daily driving the large exhaust was a determinant to driveability. I was told he was not going to do anything & that I was an "idiot". So why is a too large exhaust system a problem you ask. It has to with velocity of exhaust gases in the system. The smaller the pipe the higher the velocity. This in turn with the pluses from the firing order create a vacuum effect behind the exhaust pulse that helps remove exhaust gases from the cylinder. With the vacuum effect the cylinder is ready for a fresh & FULL charge of air & fuel mixture. When a too large exhaust pipe is installed the velocity is effected & reduces the vacuum effect on the cylinder. This too large of an exhaust system installed into my ride is effectually leaving exhaust gases in the cylinder past the exhaust phase. This in end robs power & torque on the low end of the rpm scale due to a NOT complete charge of & air and fuel due to spent gases taking up the volume. There are many engineers who work hard at this at the factory to get the size correct. Mine was 1 & 7/8 inch internal diameter and not the 2 & 1/8 inch that Jim's installed. I would say with the attitude I got from Jim he fancies himself to be better than the trained engineers.
