Review №1

This review has been long-over due. I had to get new catalytic converters for my truck in early 2020. On top of the fantastic customer service and the constant updates, I was able to sell my old converters to Scottsdale Muffler and apply it as a credit to my total bill! Fast-forward to summer of 2021, I started having problems with my converters again and I was still under SMA’s warranty. Took my truck back in to get it checked out and Chris was honest enough to admit that it was due to the repair they had originally done and since it was still under warranty it was at no additional cost to me. I cannot recommend enough. Will send as much business their way as possible. Friendly, competent, excellent guarantees and very reasonable prices. Dont bother looking anywhere else.

My catalytic converter got stolen and they fit me in early the following morning for a replacement. They also got it done really fast so I could make it to work on time. Chris, the owner, was super friendly and helpful and so was the rest of the staff there. I will definitely be back for future service!

I was referred to Scottsdale Muffler (by a different shop). The other shop has been referring exhaust customers to SM&A for 10 years.The work on my RV was completed on-time, as promised, at a great price.If you find yourself in need of an honest mechanic I recommend you give SM & A a try. The McCurdys run a great shop!

Chris the owner is very personable. Services are a very fair price. They do other automotive work on vehicles. Dont hesitate to call them if you have a need.

If you have to choose between a national franchise and a locally owned and operated shop - go with the latter and go to scottsdale muffler. excellent work, great price and professional setting. they were able to talk me off the ceiling while i was freaking out (and with humor) and were able to squeeze me in on a friday at noon, quoted me an estimate at a fraction of what the franchise wanted - just to look, and complete the action within in 3 hours- at the quoted cost. am recommending to everyone i know.

I had the unfortunate experience of having my catalytic converter stolen. Toyota was quoting my over 1.5k for a fix and a back order on the parts.Chris was able to fix my truck the very next day in a few hours for a reasonable price. Very professional and friendly!

We were from out of town (driving cross country) and in a pinch. They made room for us the next morning, didnt take advantage ( they could have told us it was a thousand dollar repair, but were very honest), & got us back on the road later that day. I dont want to break down again, but if I do I hope Im within 100 miles of them!

Had them fix some issues on my exhaust, they were able to squeeze me in despite a heavy schedule which was great. They were very professional and friendly. The shop is huge, and well maintained. Ill be coming back to get some repairs done and definitely recommend them for both exhaust and normal repairs! Thanks again!

I went to this shop this morning for a fairly simple muffler delete on a 2008 Corvette. However, once it was on the rack we realized the job entailed more then what was originally thought. So we went over options and came up with a game plan that suited both our needs. Im telling you their work is second to none. I am a former mechanic for Ford, and was blown away by the attention to detail and the amount of TLC given to my vehicle. Everybody is super cool to talk to and loves what they do. And you can tell. Being a wrench myself I appreciate guys that like to talk about cars and are still excited about it. The attention to detail to leveling these tips on the back of the car was priceless. Thanks again guys for an amazing job. Listening to that thing on the way home was a blast. Customer for life-DavidSo today is September 3rd 2021 and Im back again. Similar request as last time different year Corvette. So this time I was quoted One price, agreed to the price, and they came in even less than that LOL. Worked on the car for well over an hour making sure everything was perfect as usual. Absolutely top-notch shop not sure why you would go anywhere else based on all the reviews. You will only regret your decision if you do these guys are amazing. Thanks again for the great service love the sound

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. Got the rear mufflers taken off on my Challenger. Chris was awesome through the whole process, took care of me as soon as I walked in the door. Got me in and out super fast and the quality of the service is amazing. You can tell this shop cares about their customers, and products. Would go out of my way to come here, no questions asked. Thanks guys!

Review №26

Called for a quote to install some catalytic converters and o2 sensors on my charger. They didn’t see the actual pipes or the sensors yet so they roughly quoted $240. Came in a few days later and got them all installed for $150 out the door! These are honest people who aren’t trying to upsell or make a quick dollar. Would definitely come back!

Review №28

Took my brand new 2021 Challenger rt in for a mid muffler delete and when I got home noticed I had a nick in the driver door. I have been being very cautious and paranoid, parking far away from everyone else to avoid this from happening. And for it to happen where I’m paying for a service to be done is crazy. Very unprofessional.

Honest shop that will NOT do unnecessary work just to make an extra buck. Ive been bringing our vehicles to this shop for 10+ years. We have been very happy with their work every time. I get the oil changed in all of our vehicles here every 5,000 miles.

Review №31

Very rude and unprofessional. After they re-aligned my muffler on my vehicle I noticed it was making noises when I would accelerate, I came back to get it fixed because the job wasn’t done correctly and they wanted to charge me another $200 for it when it wasn’t making the noise prior to the job done on it. I called them on the phone, Chris didn’t even know my name or who I was and wanted to argue w/ me about it stating that my vehicle had the problem prior when it never did. Would not recommend 0/10.

Review №32

I had a good experience here. I needed work done on my muffler because my car was insanely loud. My car was definitely so much quieter once I left, I was so happy! I paid a very reasonable price to get the work done. The people here work with a sense of urgency, which I really respect from a small business.I made an appointment with them, and even when other customers came in, they still honored my appointment and made sure that they were able to take a look at my vehicle/repair it. I was there for less than two hours I believe.

Review №33

Without a doubt the only place I trust with my vehicle, every employee here goes above and beyond and will take time out of their day to share their knowledge with you. The passion for automobiles here is felt the very second you walk through the door. Honest people, honest prices. They are not the sales type, they are the helping type! Highly recommended for all maintenance/repairs and for the best exhaust work you can get!

Review №34

Professionals, fantastic quality work. All at a very fair price!! These gentlemen understand hot rods, muscle cars, you name it! Most exhaust installers will do what is easier, these guys wont, they will do whats best for your setup. For example, they saw that adding flanges at the headers would only decrease the limited ground clearance, so they placed the flanges a few inches down the tunnel and give maximum clearance. This is my second visit, and will not be my last. This should be everyones go to exhaust shop!

Review №35

**EDIT** The review below is in no way in regards to their actual quality of work or service as it seems a lot of people are satisfied with their quality and level of work and Im sure I will be as well. But it was just in regards to simply getting in contact/response from someone and now knowing they have been extremely busy and understaffed upfront especially during covid is understandable.I will be getting my exhaust done through them but just know they may be really busy when trying to call in/get answers on custom work**After seeing the almost perfect 5 star rating from what seems to be real reviews... I wanted to get my custom exhaust done here. Ive called multiple times the past 3 weeks. Actually got someone on the phone last week, they were nice and had me email the parts I already have that I need welded together along with the pipes Ill need to get from them so they could price me for that.Was told they would email me back within the hour, a week later. Still no email response, tried calling today, was placed on hold, I gave them the benefit of the doubt of being busy and waited legitimately 20 minutes on hold. Hung up and tried calling again and back to square one of not being able to reach anyone.I really wanted to give these guys a chance based on the reviews but it seems they dont want any new customers!

Great business, I had a rattling noise from my exhaust and Chris was able to get me right in. It ended up being a exhaust mount issue that his manager fixed in minutes and didn’t charge for the quick repair. I also had a chance to listen to his conversations with other customers and have to say he was fair, honest and professional. Great company!

The guys at Scottsdale Muffler are the only guys I trust when it comes to exhaust work on my vehicles. From custom setups, to taking things back to stock.

Great people, fair price, happy customer. Thanks guys!

I own a 2012 Cadillac CTS that I took into the dealership to have serviced due to a check engine light. I was told to repair would cost $1,200. Upon expressing my displeasure my phenomenal service manager suggested that I take the vehicle to his which saved me $1,123.Scottsdale muffler took my vehicle in and 15 minutes to closing and had it back to me 15 minutes after closing same day. Phenomenal service phenomenal pricing and phenomenal people.

Easily the best experience I’ve had with getting exhaust work done. Chris got my car in promptly and the quality of work is impeccable. Great welds and they even took the time to add bracing to my old aftermarket exhaust. My old BMW sounds great now, doesn’t have a rattling exhaust and won’t struggle to pass emissions. Definitely would not hesitate to use these guys again or recommend them to family/friends.

The place is incredible I brought my son here with his Jaguar XF and for his birthday they did some exhaust work that just completely changed his ride from a deep rumble to huge growl and it left him with a grin from ear to ear. These guys especially Chris know what they are talking about and they get the job done quick. Very satisfied customer!!!

I was recommended Scottsdale Muffler by a few friends. All I needed was some straight-piping for my Q45. Chris and his team took care of me and fit me in on a very busy day. The work they did was top-notch and I was more than pleased with the results (straight-piped V8’s sound awesome!). I also ended up paying less than what I was originally quoted. If you’re looking for quality work from quality people, go to Scottsdale Muffler!

I came in with a bit of an odd request. I bought a Chinese goped online from the U.K.(confusing, right?) Then I bought a muffler online from a different site and it turned out it didnt fit. I asked if there was a way to attach this american made muffler to the Chinese made U.K. goped. I was there for about 30-45 minutes and I rode my goped home with my new muffler attached! They were very fair priced and professional. They genuinely seemed excited to work on my scooter!

No surprises and I knew what I was going to pay and when it was going to be done before they began the work.

I had purchased an upgraded exhaust for my car and was looking at local shops to nearby to get my installation done. I called several places but I am glad I called Scottsdale Muffler and Automotive. I made an appointment with Chris and was met with nothing but professional service and great customer service that even dealerships fail to provide. He was honest and squeezed time in to have the installation done with one of the guys and was finished even earlier than expected. The exhaust looks and sounds great and will be back in the future if I will he back here if I need any work done and will recommend this shop all the way.Thanks Chris!

I even traveled far specifically for them, so if you’re a ways away and want an honest mechanic, go with this shop here! They will make sure they take care of you!

Ive relied on this shop a half a dozen times for near emergencies and they treated me exceptionally well each time. The crew is competent and honest. They never nickled and dimed me with extra repairs - quite the opposite, these guys threw in small extras that needed to be done and they just happened to have extra stuff laying around from another project. I highly recommend Scottsdale Muffler & Automotive, Inc.

There is a very good reason this shop has a high rating. These guys are good. Chris helped me out not only with the work I needed, but with some advise about how best to go about doing the work I was doing myself. Even though I am doing most of my exhaust work on my own, he treated me the same as I imagine a customer who was getting hundreds of dollars of work done would expect to be treated. I highly recommend this shop.

Review №98

Chris is super friendly. And he gives you options and does what better for you. I took my mustang for better exhaust and Chris said that I will be better off by swapping mufflers and told me not to go for whole exhaust kit. He did that for a very reasonable price. Later I felt the sound is too loud for me and went to him. He didnt charge me a dime and replaced with stock mufflers for free. Great part is he picked me and dropped at my office both times even though he did for second time. He and his whole family are very nice people. He is a honest man looking for customer satisfaction than making money. More than 5 stars.
