A V Muffler & Auto Repair

There service was great. The dealership wanted to charge me twice as much and AV Muffler & Auto Repair came through at a better price with quality work.

I am very happy with the service and customer support at this garage! I called only a few minutes before arriving and they got me right in! I had my brakes and rotors swapped out and they did a great job! They were quick and extremely friendly and helpful!

I heard a loud squeaking from my rear brakes. I did not want to drive too far, so I called this place. They agreed to have a look. One of their mechanics took my GMC Sonoma out for a drive to test the brakes. When he came back, he said that he heard nothing. He put it up in the air, and said that the front and back brakes were fine. The owner offered to have the brakes cleaned of dust, as that might stop the squeaking. I also needed the right rear brake light replaced. I had bought a new bulb, but was unable to remove the cover. They cleaned the brakes and replaced the light. I thought that both lights might need to be replaced, but they showed me that only the brake light was bad. They charged me a token for the work, and I was out of there in minutes. Whew! I thought I was going to have to pay for a complete $ 300 brake job, but thanks to these thorough and honest men, my truck is running silent again. I will be going there for any future work.

Gentlemen were friendly, professional, quick, and thorough. I was pleased with my muffler repair.

Had another shop in Palmdale tell me it would 6 to 9 hundred to get my car passable for smog. My Dad told me to take my car here. Dropped it off here early and when I got off work it was repaired and had passed smog. George even waited 20 minutes after closing for me to pick it up. Only $ 225!!!

This place is amazing! They have restored my faith in auto shops. Fair pricing no secret add ons no surprises. They are extremely fast and get it done right. Best of all they are honest. They do everything not just smog and muffler therefore I will not hesitate to go to them for all my car needs. I can not express how pleasant my experience was.

I was having problem with the Mercedes and I took it here and everything is going good the good price and I would recommend them to anybody problem Mercedes or within your car

George and his guys are by far the best choice for a mechanic in the AV. We found him on a whim a couple years ago and he has consistently been honest and very reasonable. He will never up sell you on anything. If you don’t need it right now, not to worry, next time. We really recommend going here :-)

These guys are fast and efficient. Started working on my cap before they had part. The cost $ 75 less from my normal mechanic.

Went to A V Muffler & Auto Repair to look into a check engine light on our Volkswagen Passat. We originally took the car to the Volkswagen dealership to diagnose the problem and they suspected the mass air flow sensor. They quoted $ 600 to replace the mass air flow sensor which is about a 200% mark up on what the job should cost.
George at A V Muffler & Auto Repair was great to deal with. He diagnosed the check engine light to make sure that the mass air flow sensor was the culprit, replaced the part, and then thoroughly rechecked the system to make sure that the problem was fixed. When we got there to pick up the car, he took the time to show us the part that he replaced and the ODBII readout that verified his repair. He also told us that the work was warrantied for 3 months. In total, the cost was very reasonable and I felt that we received honest service.
My experience with A V Muffler & Auto Repair was easily the best I’ve had at an auto repair shop. I would echo the other reviewer’s comments that they do great work at a great price.

WHATEVER YOU DO PLEASE DONT GO HERE! I took my truck to this guy 2 years ago to install some new cat converters because that was the last thing to do to to bring my truck up to par to pass smog and he did pass it no prblems… Ok fast forward to 2 years later i needed to smog my vihicle again but the check engine light was on so he told me i needed to pay 600 to get my gaskets and tubes replaced so it would pass smog. well it didnt so he proceded to tell me he could pass it he just needed to do a full tuning up on it so we leave it to him for a couple of days and finnaly we get a answer back that it did not pass. ok so we dicide to just take our truck cuz at this point we have had enough of the runaround but when were driving home guess what OUR FREAKING TRANNY IS BLOWN! I went strait back and he dinied that it was him and said its a old truck (2002) and those things just happen… so he takes a look at the tranny fluid and hes like oh see your low on fluid its your fault. OMG are you seroise we have had our truck there for days and we paid you ALLOT of money to do a full tuneup and gasket replacement on it which he seemed to allof a sudden forget (i think hes on drugs).ok so we go and spend 2000 on a tranny rebuild then take it to to a legit place and guess what they found. the cat converters this guy put 2 years ago not only had holes going strait through them they were not even the right ones for my truck. meaning he put used parts on my truck and passed it ILLIGALY (charged me 500 for that 2 years ago and we all know a good illigal smog only costs 200 lol) which is not what i wanted iwanted it to be fixed right ! Moral of the story is hes a lyer and a crook and i finnaly have my truck smogged and working correctly but it is NO thanks to av muffler. I just wanted to share what happened to me so no one else has to go through what we did.

Went to Unilocal for a recommendation. Brought my out of state vehicle for a smog test. It failed. They said they need to diagnose the vehicle and have an idea what is wrong. So I left the vehicle. An hour later I was called that it was gonna take this amount $$$ to repair and it will pass the smog. I said go ahead. They also installed my catalytic converter. I recommend this shop and will be back if u feel like your vehicle will fail a smog. They repair it at this shop for a reasonable price. Only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars is because there are cheaper smog test places. Other than that I will be going here from now on.

I went to pepboys first for a loud exhaust it took them five hours and I got an estimate of $ 400 for the repair. Even with their online coupons. I could tell I was getting ripped off.
After calling around and getting prices I found AV Muffler & Auto repair. They took a second look at it and found it was a much simpler problem then what pepboys had said. And they figured it out within 10 minutes. The problem was fixed and the repair has fixed my gas mileage as well as the loud muffler. And for a quarter of the price! I highly recommend! They were polite and quick and they were able to fully explain what the problem was so that I could understand it, and I’m not car-​literate at all. They even offered to give me a ride home since I had to leave it for a couple hours.
Great all around.
I’ll definitely come to them first in the future.

I was given an estimate by Pep Boys to repair my rear brakes for $ 1000. I said no thank you. A friend recommended AV Muffler & Auto Repair. She said they are honest and fairly priced. She was right! They did a great job and the repair was just under $ 300. Great work! Great price! Honest people!
