Spanky’s Muffler

I have a 2009 Altima sedan. The dealership identified an exhaust leak and offered to replace the front and rear catalytic converters and flex pipe for $ 1300. So naturally I freaked out and took the car to my normal mechanic at 25^th St. Automotive (who are fantastic). They checked it out and said they could replace the whole section for around $ 1000, but a muffler shop could do a cut and weld job on it for much cheaper. They recommended Spanky’s Muffler. So I called Spanky’s and they said to just bring it in any time. I showed up in the middle of the morning and Spanky asked me to just roll the car onto the lift immediately. He took a look, identified the problem and quoted me $ 190 to cut out and replace the rear converter and front pipe. I sat on a workout bench while Spanky and his son cut out the bad pieces, custom cut some pipe at a table saw and weld everything into place. Spanky’s grand kid hung out with me while they worked their magic. After about 40 minutes, the whole thing was done. The welds were solid, and the car ran way more quietly and with the torque it used to have. I am very happy with their service, casual approach and convenience. Highly recommended.
