A-1 Muffler & Brakes

Took my car in to fix an exhaust leak. My cars exhaust manifold is in a tricky spot and he did everything he could to weld up the crack. He got my car to pass smog and he did it all on a time crunch due to me needing to be at work in an hour. Thank you so much and for saving me tons of $$$. Very satisfied

John was the best! I put a lot of miles on driving from Southbay to SF and was in dire need of a brake job at the right price! For a Ford Escape with 4new pads and rotor service: less than $ 200! In 45min!!! Simply no better value around!!!

Fantastic service at very reasonable price. I highly recommend this place. It’s like old fashion customer service done with smiles, conversation and a very personal touch.

Very solid shop. He did my truck exhaust in 30 mins. New Flowmaster with a clean ass tip. Definitely check this shop out if you need some muffler or break work done. It’s hard to find honest shops I trust this guy.

best prices in the bay area ! excellent service and a pleasure to talk to. He knows his exhaust stuff and is willing to work on almost anything. I have been going to him for almost ten years now and i would highly recommend this shop to everyone. His brake services are also the cheapest around and of very high quality.

I brought my car here to get the brakes done. Not only was it affordable but they were quick. While others may take the entire day or a couple of days, this took a few hours. Not bad and the service was excellent and friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

I doubt John will ever end up reading this but I had a great experience today with my 95 Land Cruiser. I had a complicated need to work around some interference issues with my suspension links and he managed to make it all work. I was able to explain specifically what I needed, he gave me a few options and then went to town. He didn’t mind me poking around and helping iterate through the problem. He stuck to his original estimate, worked incredibly fast, and operates like a surgeon with his chopsaw. He accommodated some requirements I had that no other shop would have even considered and he speaks with 20-​plus years of experience.
Most people reading this review are probably going to be looking for a muffler shop that they can trust, with experience, reasonable prices, and without any quirks. John is now my «exhaust guy» — and definitely the right guy to go to for custom stuff.

John and Jeremy are friendly, helpful and aren’t trying to steal your money. They did a great job on my Mercedes, prevented me from spending more than I had to and threw in some larger muffler tips for free. Great prices and service. Highly recommended.

John is great! Helped me with my rear breaks! did the job quick and I would recommend his company my friends! An A-​1 Job!!!

The guys that work here were really cool and gave me a great deal. My muffler sounds good and I got exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price. He even put it on for me right there after I got a quote. Thanks!

Awesome place to get your exhaust done. We were in and out in about an hour and they did a wonderful job at an affordable price. It was a bit of a drive for us but well worth it. Highly recommend them!
