Mufflers Four Less

I have been coming here for nearly 10 years and always great service. Very honest and straightforward. Never try to say more work needs to be done than necessary. In fact, often work with you to figure out to say what you can avoid, how to get the repair done cost effectively. Let you buy and bring in your parts so you can save $$ there too. Not sure if they mark up anyway, but this way you can shop around for a deal on that. Typically same day service, always quality work. Highly recommended!!!

My catalytic converter was stolen about a year and a half ago. I came here and had it replaced for about $ 1,000.
Now, not even two years later, my check engine light comes on. I take it to a mechanic I use regularly and trust. And he tells me that the catalytic converter that was installed was too small and needs to be replaced. Again. For about $ 1,000.
I’d skip these guys and go to a shop where you won’t need to buy a replacement way too soon.
So mad.

They’re great at getting you in right away and have had no problems with my repairs. I had my catalytic convertor cut and stolen and they were able to repair it the next morning and at half the price of a big name chain. Recommend for any exhaust related work that you may need.

My husband brought his car in a few months ago based on reviews and wasn’t disappointed. They were able to fix his car and charged him less than half of what was previously quoted by another location. I brought my car in yesterday for a problem with my door. They were accommodating, quick and less than a quarter of what the dealer tried to charge me. Definitely will go here first with any future problems.

Needed brake service. Fixed within 4 hours. Fair price. Good work all around.

If you can, go elsewhere! I wish I could put NO STARS.
I usually get my car fixed in the suburbs, but had to go somewhere local in the city since it was not accelerating. I was limited on my choices since it would cost more to get it towed to the suburbs than to get it fixed in the city; I wished I towed it to the suburbs. Long story short they overcharged me roughly $ 1000 for $ 150 piece. I continued to have problems with my car so I took it in for them to look at and insisted I should not be charged. They had the nerve to say it would be another $ 100. I drove it back to my mechanic in the suburbs and they told me they fixed my car with the cheapest part and was completely over priced for the job they did. If you can go to another shop, I highly reccomend it.

Oil change here costs $ 25, fast and friendly service!

Finally, a trustworthy venue to have my car repaired. I am so impressed with this place. Have used Mufflers Four Less three times recently and experienced great service and have been pleasantly surprised by how inexpensive the bill has been.
My first trip here occurred when my car suddenly started making noises louder than a motorcycle and the muffler appeared to be the culprit. Mufflers Four Less took a look see and I thought I misheard when they quoted me $ 20 for the repair. Apparently it was just a rusty bracket that had gone bad and the muffler itself was fine — was so happy with their honesty and that they did not act as though more intensive work was required.
Visit two was an oil change; in the past every time I bring my car somewhere for an oil change (even when the car seems to be running perfectly) the shop «finds» an issue and recommends I get it repaired ASAP. At Mufflers Four Less they changed the oil and I was on my way. No up-​sell attempts whatsoever.
My last visit was to have my brakes worked on; once again great service and I was shocked with the bill; quite a bit lower than when I have had comparable work done elsewhere.
Can’t say enough good things about this place; they definitely have become my go to venue for car repairs.

Absolutely awful place! Brought our Grand Marquis in to have our spark plugs changed. They changed the spark plugs (took them over a day to do it). The car was immediately misfiring after we got it back. They refuse to take responsibility for the issue and fix it. Turns out our ignition coils failed due to the work they had done (we had them changed not that long beforehand). We had to get our car towed to a new mechanic. Cost us an additional $ 300+ to get it fixed elsewhere. Service here was terrible, DO NOT GO HERE!

Fast. Cheap. Honest. Reliable. These guys will save you TONS of money.

They were fast with getting my converter in after it was stolen and even told me it would be cheaper to buy a part online then from them.
I forgot my wallet and with out any hesitation he just told me to go home and get it. Great place, great people.

Yes! My regular shop quoted me $ 575 to solve the hideous noise problem. Got it fixed here for $ 140. Took about 90 minutes. :)

I went to Mufflers Four Less for the first time after getting fed up with the typical up-​sell and over-​diagnosis from Northside Toyota on a muffler issue.
I saved $ 1700 because I did. Plus, he did the repairs quicker than Northside ever could have. About an hour.
I want to thank Armando (I think his name) for his reasonably priced, honest, reliable, and fast service. Very grateful I found him and will be back.
He deserves your business. These five star reviews are not a fluke.

Affordable. They don’t try to sell you a bunch of crap. They’re great at fixing cars. And they’re really nice!

With a two car household, it seems one or the other is in need of something. I need new tires, few weeks later my Husband needs new tires. I get my air conditioning fixed, few weeks later my Husbands heating goes out, then his alternator.
At the end of September my Husband needed his brakes done, So here we are in December and my back brakes goes out. You know that car behind you that is so terribly loud that you pull over in a panic thinking your car is screwed! Yeah, that was me. Hell, people on the street would stop and stare in horror as I drove by. I think heard a few dogs howling. Bleh!
I have my usual Mechanic but Mufflers Four Less is just a few blocks from home. My Husband got his brakes fixed there and was pleased with the service and the fair price. So I dropped off my car with Armando and his fellow Mechanics. He diagnosed the problem right away and told me It was the brakes. Further inspection determined that I needed brake pads and a rotor. That loud sound was metal on metal. So I asked him how much… and believe me, it was reasonable. I paid way more to get my front brakes done last year.
I will be going to Mufflers Four Less for my car repair needs. Armando and his staff are honest, knowledgeable, friendly and not trying to rip you off. They get the job done, informed me of any problems that may occur later and gave me preventative and maintenance advice. That’s 100 stars in my eyes.

Cheap and fast oil change. And based on other reviews, I’ll be back.

A cracked engine is always a death sentence for a car, correct? WRONG!
After a mishap with my 05 Honda Civic with 95k I thought I’d better start looking at new/​used cars because my options aren’t pretty.
1. Fight with Honda to try to get them to replace it and spend lots of $ on «diagnosis costs» towing and time waiting for the dealership to tell me what I already knew. I’m screwed and they want way too much $.
2. Look for a new car
3. Let Armando work his magic
Armando found a gently used engine with 40k! He gave me a fair price and had everything installed in less than 3 days! WHAT?! There are really shops out there that are honest, quick and won’t look at you with dollar signs on your forehead? Yes! It’s called Mufflers Four Less and I won’t take my car anyplace else!
I drove from Mufflers Four Less in my tummy-​tucked Civic feeling like Armando took care of me as if I were a close friend or family member. It’s a legitimate gem in the world of auto repair facilities. You’ll be happy and relieved you finally found «your guy».

I recently bought my first car (used). It’s a great car, but apparently the 60k mile check was never done on it, and I found this out the hard way when I tried to go somewhere and my car started lurching. At the advice of my dad, I had already researched mechanics and decided that if there were troubles with my car, I would bring it to Mufflers Four Less.
Sadly, I turned around and drove my car to Mufflers Four Less. They listened carefully as I explained the lurching and pulled the car into the garage right away. I live nearby so I went home. They called me soon after and told me that I needed spark plugs replaced, which they could do for me. I said yes, and asked them to just perform the 60k mile check.
They also wound up topping off all my fluids and replacing my front break pads. They did not do anything without calling me first and asking if I wanted it done, which I really appreciated. When I went to pick up my car only about 2 hours later, the price for all their work was so low, and they did an excellent job! I was thoroughly pleased.
A couple days later, convinced my tires were going flat (I am completely neurotic, and apparently unable to work a tire pressure gauge), I pulled back into Mufflers Four Less and asked for help. They checked my tires, pumped them with air, and did not laugh at me once, as they probably should have.
I would love to give this place 15 stars because that’s what they deserve. I highly recommend Muffler Four Less.

Took my Jeep in yesterday and they serviced it right away. They showed me the exact damage to my exhaust system and gave me an immediate quote. They were honest as to what needed changing right away, and what I could get away with for awhile if needed. After telling Raul my budget, he was able to take some money off to help in getting my whole old and rusted-​out exhaust system changed, as opposed to just the muffler.
The location is conveniently located next to a lot of Roscoe Village restaurants, shops, bars, and a Starbucks, .so you don’t have to wait in a boring Auto Shop lobby.
My only complaint was that they did not call me when my Jeep was done. I saw them drive my Jeep out of the garage while I was getting a drink across the street from the gas station, but thought that maybe they were still working on it (since they told me they would call me as soon as they were finished). 30 minutes later, after not seeing my Jeep move, I called in, and they told me it was done. My time is very valuable, so that’s the one issue that kept me from giving the full 5 stars.
Otherwise, fantastic place… nice guys, good quality service at a very reasonable price.

Words can’t describe how great of a place this is. I would give 10 stars if I could as well. I wish there were more auto joints like this in the city but everyone else is out to get rich off your money.
Extremely: Kind, helpful, affordable, honest and flexible.
Armando I love you!!!
