Jesse’s Mufflers & Brakes

Came in for a catalytic converter. Jesse was super cool and the whole process was smooth, fast, and painless. He explained everything and I was out in maybe 15 – 20 minutes. You won’t be disappointed!

I have been going to Jesse for the past 10 years. He has done work on my cars from a full exhaust to simply installing a muffler tip. Jesse has always been very honest and his prices compete with anyone. He knows his craft and pays attention to detail. I have sent my friends and family to him and they have been very happy with his work. Go there with confidence as I will continue to use Jesse for all my exhaust needs.

I was referred here by a friend and I am very happy with my exhaust. Jesse was reasonable in price and extremely exceptional in professionalism and quality. I recommend this shop to anyone who needs exhaust work. I changed my stock unit for a custom fabricated one by Jesse. I am overall happy with my exhaust and experience. Keep in mind that he’s busy so sometimes time frames take longer or there are delays but it’s worth it and you should expect that anyway when doing car work.

Backed over a curb or something and bent my exhaust pipe. Based on great Unilocal reviews called Jesse’s Mufflers and Brakes at 9am. Talked to Joe, friendly Joe, who said come on in. Got there at 9:30 and Joe, friendly Joe, put my car up on the lift and we took a look. No waiting… well no other customers. Yep. It’s bent alright. He said $ 80 to fix and it will take one hour. It took 30 minutes longer since he needed to do more work than he initially thought but the price remained $ 80. I gave him a $ 20 tip and thought I still got a great deal. I will be taking my 4Runner here when I get to the exhaust. Nice clean shop is easy to find and all the guys are nice.

Super great dude. I «tried» installing my x-​pipe and headers, but it was all bad. He corrected my mistakes. Because the headers I got were most likely made in China, he tailor made my kit to fit right. Jessie straightened everything out perfectly and in a timely matter. Absolutely no complaints about his work. Price was very reasonable considering Ed Hanson’s muffler shop in spring valley wanted to charged me way more than Jessie. If I had friends I wouldn’t tell them to go anywhere else but here.

Great place to do any muffler work for your car. I did my Audi S7 and was very pleased by the professional and excellent work that Jesse offers. I would recommend his services to all my friends and family and whoever need any exhaust done to his/​her car. if you want to listen to how my car sounds now see the uploaded video. Thanks Jesse!

I recently started out on my Dodge Dart project car and Unilocal has put me in contact with some great people in the San Diego area. This was definitely the case at Jesse’s Mufflers and Brakes!
I wanted true duals from the manifold back with a couple of Flowmaster mufflers and 2.5″ piping and this place delivered in spades! If you are in need of an exhaust repair or upgrade and want an experience similar to a good tailor hooking you up with a nice suit, you owe yourself a visit to Jesse’s shop. My car was one of the last ones done on a Saturday and on his way to buy lunch Jesse asked if I wanted something to eat since he was headed that way… that’s the kind of people you’re dealing with here!

I’ve been here twice now, the owner Jessy is great. Great work, fair prices.. If I get another vehicle j would bring it here also. I highly recommend if your looking for a upgrade on exhaust come here first. 5 stars all day..

Took my DeLorean there for some brake work as well as an issue I’m having with heat soak to the engine’s starter (it was converted to a Chevy 350 by the original owner). The guys took good care of it, got the new brakes on, and fashioned a heat shield as well for the starter.
If I need a new exhaust I know I’ll be coming back for more business.
And they did all this as well on New Years Eve!

I had a list of three welding/​muffler shops to get estimates for a custom removable transmission crossmember for my 1966 Corvette. The first place I stopped at was Jessie’s shop. He enthusiastically greeted me and we immediately put my car on his lift so I could show him what I needed. Although the job had nothing to do with mufflers or exhaust it was soon obvious he could perform any task that involved welding. He quoted me a good price and I came back in a few days to get the job done. I didn’t bother to get any other estimates because I wanted Jessie to do the Job. The crossmember was fabricated exactly as we talked about. The welds, which were in a very tight space and surrounded by my Corvette’s fiberglass underbody were clean, consistent, strong, and a work of art. As a classic car aficionado I am very picky about the work performed on my car. Jessie came through big time! Can’t wait to show all my car buddies the great job he did. I highly recommend Jessie for any type of job that involves welding.

Very happy with Jesse’s service and will be back when the need arises. I received a performance muffler as a gift and the guy I was referred to flaked on my. I was dying to get the new muffler installed and found Jesse’s on Unilocal with lots of great reviews and called them up. Very helpful on the phone and just as helpful when I drive in about an hour later. Got the install done very quick and at a very fair price. Thanks guys!

I have to say, after my experience here today, this shop lives up to all the reviews and them some! Jesse is absolutely a cool guy, and he knocked out the catalytic converter in just about 20 minutes. I called around, and they had the best price quote up front, along with the best service I have to say! Couldn’t recommend them enough! Thanks Jesse!

What can I say besides these 2 guys are the best. If you need quality work done at a great price with honesty go to Jesse. I’ve coming here for 3 yrs now and I cannot even lie they do very good work. These guys are worth checking out. Best in exhaust work.

Last year I needed some work done, so I made an appointment for the next day early morning. I waited an 1hr and a half. Nobody ever showed up. Recently I went back for a repair, said he didnt have a part, but could order for the next day. He said he would call, never did. I waited two days to call. His guy said he was unavailable and would have him call me back. Never did. Unless he can do the work right then and there I wouldnt rely I scheduling an appointment here.

Best auto shop ever! Super friendly and helpful! I wish they did all car maintenance! Came in to get my car looked at since I’m driving across the country and I knew I needed brakes. They never once tried pushing anything they «recommended» like every other shop. Arnold the shop puppy is so wonderful and he made the time pass even quicker! I will definitely will be back!

I needed a exhaust shop for my BF Nissan 240x. The problem he was having was with his catalytic converter. He was lacking in the funds dept. So we looked up nearby shops. And we came across Jesse’s shop, only 6 mins away from where we live. That’s not even the best part, we also got it at a great price and quality work. Also quick service, less than an hour. I would recommended Jesse to any of my friends and family. He passed smogs so u can say he is very happy. Definitely a returning customer.

I called in advance and scheduled for saturday. They schedule me 8−830am… i was there 8am sharp for over an hr then the next customer showed up waited a lil while and left. Whats up with that? I would like to rate how their performance is but they were a no show :(
*update*
Jesse responded immediately to my post and I decided to give him and his business a chance. I’m glad I did. He fixed the rattling prob, replaced the muffler in no time and sounds better than I expected. I’m happy. Please check him out. I would definately go back if i had any other probs. He and his coworker know what they’re doing. Thanks guys… yall are great!

Great job and very knowledgeable. Costumer services is great and very professional. A+++ overall

After bringing my Chevelle with Jesse a few years back and leaving incredibly satisfied with the work, I came back to have some exhaust work done to my 2007 Mustang. I still had the stock muffler installed but just wanted a little more sound and power added to my car. Jesse recommended a great Flowmaster set up and even hooked up my car from a single exhaust system to a dual without too many modifications. He still remembered me from ways back and greeted me as a close friend. Jesse goes out of his way to make you feel at home and treats you like family just like any smart business owner should do. I recommended this place before and after leaving Jesse’s again very satisfied, I continue to highly recommend this place!

Jesse’s the man with the plan I know him for years now and got my first car done at his shop. I gotta tell you the way he welds is like no other he has the best and cleanest work I’ve ever seen from an exhaust done on any work but not only does he do great exhaust work if you come down here and not know what you really want but you know you want work done he also has great advice and knows what your car needs to also help you obtain what you want so I suggest to go here, if you think of getting any work weld brakes catalytic converter done to your vehicle this is the place to go ! You’ll love it !
