Barr’s Muffler-Aiea

First off, JR helped me out, bigtime. It was worth the footwork to find them. I went to wrong location twice before finding Barr’s so call for the address first; don’t trust google maps, Unilocal,yahoo or the yellow pages. I went in in hopes of finding a quieter option for my VW GTI VR6 24V than the Awe Performance cat back’s horrible drone that I’d been suffering for years. I told JR I needed to lose the drone but not the added performance. Also, I didn’t want to lose the great wot sound that I’d come to enjoy. And, I didn’t want to spend alot of money. JR spent several hrs with me on an admittedly quiet day, however this kind of service is hard found anywhere today. We listened to youtube exhaust sound options, scanned pricing guides and called for on island availability. I came away with a sweet sounding, good looking polished exhaust with my original tip fitted and I couldn’t be happier. Drone gone, wot happy noises retained, price goals met at under $ 300 bucks. What a great find. They will take care of you. 5 Stars.

Called and made an appointment for 8 am. I showed up and they didn’t. My time is limited and this place wasted my time. Talked to the body shop next to them and even they said it varies what time they open. I figured since I made an appointment that would mean something, it didn’t. This place doesn’t deserve 5 stars on every review. I wish I could review their service but I got none.

I went to Peter and Tim with my Ford Flex after the company shipping my vehicle dropped it off the tranpost truck and just about ripped the exhaust off the car! They put my car up on the lift, explained everything that was needed to make it normal again, and were more than courteous about the whole process. When I finally brought the car in, almost 2 years had passed… not only did they remember me, but remembered the whole situation with my car. I literally just drove off from the shop with the finished product, and I have a car with a better than perfect exhaust system! The fact that they remembered me, made me feel like my car was important and not just another job to them. They took the time to tuck the exhaust up a little more for even better clearance, and even had time to talk story with my husband and I about our other vehicles as well. They were professional and all around great! They also will be doing safety checks in the near future, and I will be going their yearly for all 3 of our cars! Much thanks for the great work and wonderful service. .I would recommend them over and over again

Called to see if they would be willing to do some very custom work (full 3″ dual exhaust) on my 1969 BBC Camaro Pro Street and the person I spoke to (Peter) was very helpful and told me to bring it by.
Upon bringing the car to the shop it was looked over by Junior and Tim who said that they could do it, but it would be a very complex job. However they said that it would be done to my pretty high level of expectation, as Junior stated that he was very particular on any work that he does.
During the whole process, they made sure that it was done exactly how I wanted it, especially since this car basically has a fully custom chassis and fitting the dual 3″ pipes was not an easy task in itself, as I was quite particular on the clearances with the chassis components.
Although it took a good 2 hours longer due to the extra work/​detail involved, Tim (owner) never upsold me or raised my initial price quote. In a nutshell, they did outstanding work, have a great attention to detail, and are willing to work with you on ensuring that you get terrific products & services for your ride.

Two businesses told me that I had to change my muffler because there were holes in it, actually the first place told me that there was 1 hole and the second place told me there were several holes. Anyway, took it to Barrs Pete lifted my 02 Dodge Ram up and showed me that there were no holes!!! The only thing i needed to do was replace the muffler hanger. But because Pete was so helpful and honest I went ahead and replaced my entire exhaust system even though i didnt have to. Excellent job, excellent customer service! I am definitely going back there for all my automobile repairs and upgrades! I highly recommend them to everybody!

I had major work done recently at Baar’s in Aiea. Tim and Peter did a super job installing a power steering conversion on my precious ‘55 Chevy Bel Air. These guys are true professionals in what they do, which is manifested in the high quality of the finished product. I recommend them highly for any of your general repair needs.

Great shop! Good service and professional work. I had both my vehicles done and Tim and the boys did an awesome job. Thanks guys.

Great place they guys were very helpful and fast in getting my exhaust leak taken care of. It was one of the most horendous noises I have ever heard and they were able to take care of it quickly and efficiantly also for a good price. If I would not have gotten it fixed that fast back pressure from the clogged catilyc converter would have probably caused another issue in my engine. I wish I would have went there with my own parts before hand though but still I am thankfull.

I had to get my exhaust flex pipe fixed on my 1995 Camry because it was making the car sound like it had headers but it didn’t. Anyway, took it in on a Saturday at 1pm without an appointment and they took the car right in. The technician put the car on the rack and with the engine running lifted it up so that he could inspect the exhaust system. In a few minutes he identifies the problem and calls me under the car to point out the problem area and tells me what it’s going to take to fix it. I then asked him how much it would cost and he told me $ 175 parts and labor and I told him to fix it. The fix took 25 minutes and the tech told me that if the car still sounded throaty or if something was wrong to bring the car back. The service was quick, I thought the price reasonable, and the work warrantied. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is in need of exhaust work.
