Muffler & Brake Man

I am extremely pleased with the level and quality of service this shop provides!
In searching for an honest and reliable mechanic I found this shop through Unilocal.I called and spoke with Akash. He was professional and was able to schedule an appointment for me the next day. I brought my car into the shop the next morning and he did a total assessment on the vehicle. He informed me of what was wrong and what was most urgent to fix.
Needless to say within an hour my car was done and ready to go as promised. I had the pleasure of speaking with other customers in their waiting area and they also raved on previous services.
I will definitely use this shop for my future needs and refer them to my friends and colleagues.
Thank you Muffler & Brake Men for a phenomenal job, reasonable pricing and honesty!

My 2003 corolla had check engine light on and failed emission test. After getting high estimates from couple diff places, I finally got my car fixed here at very reasonable rate. Akash Patel is a friendly person and knows what he is doing. I would definitely go back to this place.

I recently had my check engine light on and i went to other shops and almost every shop told me i had a bunch of things that need to be fixed. I don’t really know anything about cars so was not sure what to do, a couple of friends recommended muffler and brake man i went in with an open mind and was extremely satisfied with the customer service. They took their time to explain what i really needed to get done. The staff is patient, reliable and professional! I totally recommend it!

We have been taking our cars and mini vans here for over 10 years. They are honest, helpful, and efficient and their pricing is very reasonable.

I can not say enough about this place. Patel is an amazing person. They are extremely honest you never have to worry that they arent being truthful. In an industry where it is hard to know who is being honest and who is just trying to take advantage of the consumer you dont have to worry about this place. They do great work. I have been taking my cars to them for 15 yrs and will continue to do so. Thank you muffler and brake man!

Last fall, my car battery died so I thought I’d finally make use of my AAA membership. The gentleman who came didn’t have the right battery with him, so he jumped my car and directed me here.
I should’ve driven away.
The driver waved to the mechanics inside and got my car in right away, which was nice. I was directed to wait in the waiting room, which was nothing more than two chairs next to the cash register. That’s it. The bad mechanics’ waiting room in the Simspons is nicer. There was no TV, no magazines, not even a radio. In the hour it took to get my car fixed, I stared at a bee outside for fun.
When it came time to pay, my AAA guy was still there. While I’d like to think he wanted to make sure I’d be okay, I later realized he was expecting a tip. Since I didn’t have any cash on me, I asked if the cashier could over-​charge me $ 20. He did, but instead of handing me or the driver any money, he shrugged and said «He’ll get it.» But… how? Kickbacks?
The kicker? This all cost me more than it would have at my usual mechanic, the Honda dealer down the road. And that Honda has a lavish waiting room with comfy seats, big-​screen TVs, complimentary WiFi (and laptops), plus magazines, books, coffee, and vending machines.
P. S. The map is inaccurate, this store is located just north of the intersection of Ogden & 59, it is next to Gerber Glass and Laguna car wash.
