A-1 Express Muffler

Long overdue review. This place is fast and affordable. They are professional and very good.

Called them, explained that I had an exhaust leak, wouldn’t quote me a price over the phone, which I wouldn’t expect anyway. He said bring it down and I’ll put it in the lift, the estimate would be free. So I brought my truck down in 15 minutes he had a quote, and in about 30 minutes the work was done.

Took my car in without an appointment and was in and out in less than 30 minutes! The owner is awesome! The tech was professional and nice and the price was very honest! Love the fact that they didn’t treat me like a «woman» but as a customer!

Just got my second set up done here. Wanted to take a minute and give this shop some credit. So the awesome owner, gives you advise and options on what you should do to your car, it’s still your choice, but according to my experience with him, whatever he says usually works best. Both of my vehicles sounded great afterwards. Gotta check this place out.

My boyfriend brought all 3 of our cars here to get part of the exhaust modified. They do a great job. They are not the cheapest, but they do a good job.
The guy that did the exhaust kept saying it won’t make a difference, but we just let it slide because we knew that in reality it would make a difference.
Before going there do some research before listening to the bigger guy.

Great shop. … honest … came in to get a new cat converter installed … told me the pros and cons for each brand … gave me honest answers and opinions … very friendly … will do business with again!!!

A-​1 express muffler just might be one of the best shops in the Sacramento area. The shop wasn’t busy when we got here, we walked right in and the owner helped us out.
Honest man, he gave us a couple options since we had brought in our own catalytic converter and a muffler off a different car. He gave us a good deal, it saved us money in the end. We had brought in a muffler pulled from another car and from experience from a few shops back home knew it could be done, they didn’t want to do it probably because it would require more work and what not, hence the 4 star review. Almost perfect…
We waited it out, it took an hour, maybe less. We watched the whole process and the welder did a good job, he was smoking on the job in the area which didn’t seem safe to me.
Overall, quick service, cheap, reliable and honest shop!

Beware this shop is not opened on Saturdays as their web site and posted door hours indicate. I drove 25 minutes to have service today because of good Unilocal reviews only to find their shop closed up tight.

I have been doing business with the owner for years. He has replaced a muffler for me on one my vehicles and installed a high performance exhaust system on another. Great service and fair pricing. I also like the fact that if something goes wrong with any of their work, they will make any necessary repairs.

I could not be happier with this place. The owner was such a good guy and really wants the best for his customers. I brought my car in after the exhaust was rubbing up against another piece of metal and was making a rattling noise. The owner told me no problem he will take a look at it. While I was waiting for my car to be done they had the move «The Dictatorship» playing in the waiting room with comfy couches. When my car was fixed it sounded perfect the owner didn’t even charge me a penny and would refuse to take my money. This is by far the best experience I have had with any shop. I am definitely coming back and I highly recommend you go to A-​1 Express Muffler for any of your exhaust needs!

Excellent Service They have the best prices for catalytic converters

I needed a new cat for my 2004 Corolla and decided to check this place out based on other
reviews. Wow! Is all I can say. These guys REALLY take care of you. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly! They got me in right away and diagnosed my car for free. There was absolutely no pressure to have the work needed done there and they quoted me much less than I was expecting. They didn’t try to upsell me and told me to come back if my check engine light came back on and they’d read it for free. I’m a very young girl who knows little about cars and the staff here looked after me as if I were their own child. I HIGHLY recommend them for all of your muffler/​exhaust needs.

I’ve been going to A1 for years and all of my exhaust work goes here. Even from the time I had them install a muffler on my Saturn, to full exhaust on my 11sec camaro, now to them helping me modify my exhaust system on my 09 Corvette. This is a great honest straight foward shop. I have Been going here for years and will continue to do buisness here.
Thanks A1 for your buisness and customer service. They should be called A-​Plus!

Loved it!!! Great service, they fixed my Jeep BY 2 PM after I called them one morning asking if I could tow it over. They had a tow guy charge me super cheap to tow me within an hour of calling! They called me with every detail of what was wrong and exactly what it would cost. And then fixed it in 2 or 3 hours! I think they are very honest and very reasonable with their prices. And they didn’t act like I was some dumb girl who didn’t need to know the details of the repair! I came here only because of the rave reviews, and I’m so glad I can add one more to the list. Thanks for fixing my yellow jeep! :)

Great, quick, service! They had the exact exhaust I was looking for in stock and got it done in about an hour! They were a bit busy but, that happens when you’re good at what you do… I actually brought it back for an adjustment and they were more than happy to look into it and fix it on the spot! Thanks again!!!

This place is AWESOME… Cheapest Prices in TOWN… The «Shopping Around» stops here. Very knowledgeable and Friendly. Awesome workmanship and customer service. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Thanks again you guys for being AWESOME!

I have been going here for a while. I continue to come back as they do great quality work and the price is always the best around. I have even had them make custom exhaust systems for me that always have come out AMAIZING! I always refer anyone needing anything from OEM catalytic converter replacement to full on custom exhaust systems to them. A few of my friends have also had their cars worked on their as well and everyone has been happy!!!

I took A-​1 a jeep project I was working on. They installed a Magnaflow setup from the headers back with great custom mounts and put together great for the intended application (Offroad). Very impressed with the workmanship and the price was great.
On top of everything I pulled in at 12pm with no appointment and was called to pick it up at 2:30pm!
Great service, super friendly, I would recommend this shop hands down.

The words «affordable» and «quality» rarely go hand in hand but at this muffler shop that’s how they roll. Great quality work at prices only your second cousin Thurbur with lackluster welding skills could beat. They also do custom on everything from hot rods and old school Japanese cars to just your everyday driver they do it all.

These guys can do ANYTHING. Quick, cheap, and friendly. Best muffler shop in Sacramento. Ask for Jordan and he’ll take good care of you.
