Great shop! Appt recommended

I took my 2009 vehicle in for service. They put my car on the lift almost immediately and gave me a couple options on how I could resolve my exhaust issue. One hour later i got a call to pick up my car and its been A OK since. Great spot in the conejo valley. If you grew up or have lived in this area for many years its a must to check this place out. 5/5 stars no doubt about it.

I found the guys very friendly open and very reasonable would suggest everyone to go there

They got us right in - excellent

Fantastic service, prices, and personnel. Cant recommend it highly enough.

Hi American Muffler is a very good place to have your ride worked on, Derik is a nice guy and his help.You can walk across the street to Dos Amigos and have a beverage.

I was referred by a great mechanic coworker of mine and they were prompt with information that I needed.

Awesome team, great service!

Dirk is top notch..

The service was outstanding and the price was unbelievable. An excellentexperience.

I been to Dirk at least 5 times over the years and its always the same experience. He gets the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. Good guy and honest hardworking business owner. Best muffler shop in TO.

I called several local shops before going to American Muffler. But I chose this shop because of the great reviews I read.In the end, I am SO happy with the excellent work they did on my Honda. Its so difficult to find an honest mechanic and these guys are honest!The owner, gave me a great estimate to replace my pipe and muffler and that was what I paid.They customized a pipe to keep me from having to pay for extra parts I didnt need.The factory pipe came with an extra muffler and he told me I didnt need it! I was more than happy to save a significant amount of money by replacing ONLY the parts my car DID need.They even did the work quickly and I had my car back within a few hours.I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for an honest mechanic and will take any of the other cars in my household there without a second thought or calls to other shops for estimates.Thank you American Muffler for doing such a fantastic job!! You have a customer for life!!

Very pleased! Good customer service, no up selling just prompt, honest quality service and professional work at reasonable prices. Would recommend to anybody.

Needed a catalytic converter/exhaust manifold replaced on an older car. Dirk have me good service, fast installation, and a fair price. Ive used them before and will use them again when the need arises. Highly recommend.

These guys are con artists. Brought my car in at about 4pm 2/20/20 and was told by Ishmael that they were busy and to “come back tomorrow.” Was quoted $60 for a job. Came in the morning 2/21/20 right at opening, was again told $60, Ishmael gets my car up on the lift and tells me that he can’t work on it because of a previous exhaust modification (part he was to work on was separate) but that he would do it for $100. I told him to drop the car. Extremely distasteful and unprofessional. I have video and audio recording from my dash camera of the entire ordeal. DO NOT COME HERE!!!

Dirk took excellent care of my old trucks needs. He supports local youth sports and is very professional. Thank you for patching my exhaust American muffler. When I ever come back through town i’ll look into a total replacement job. Sincerely, David and boomer and our 97 Toyota 4Runner.

Couldn’t be happier with new muffler. Dirk was extremely helpful with my purchase and busted it out quick on my daughters F-150. Thanks.

Excellent service! They were quick and honest with repair my car. I went to several other shops,who want to overcharge me for the repairs I needed and their time to fix my car. These guys got the job done right!

They know what they are talking about in the place. They will not try to pressure you into getting work done. They encourage you to do your research about the exhaust you want to buy. Fair prices and speedy service.

Have had trouble with my exhaust since I got my Truck... They have always been nice and taken the time to help. Me through my troibles.

Dirks schedule was very flexible and he gave me a great price on my dual exhaust system, hundreds less than anyone else. He helped me pick out exactly what I wanted, and finished the installation in a timely matter. To this day I cant stop looking at the back of my truck; this man puts full effort into his work.

I bought a bolt on replacement catalytic converter to install myself but ran into all sorts of unforeseen issues (I do not weld). I would never buy online expecting a shop to install the parts for me but got myself in a jam this time. Dirk helped me out and did a great job installing the cat. Months later I had a small welding job that he did for me. I returned a couple weeks later to have a new Magnaflow muffler installed. Dirk and American Muffler are A+ in my book!

I came here to get my 2018 Mustang Ecoboost mufflers removed. They suggested i remove 2 of my 3 mufflers so I did. After a few hours and a very reasonable price, It was ready to go! I think I may come back so that I could get my 3rd muffler removed too.

They did the work correctly and quickly for a great price

Excellent service. Quick, fairly priced repair of a broken muffler hanger.

The previous owner of my Jeep had put an aftermarket exhaust on my car that was poorly installed and had a leak in the front section somewhere. I took the Jeep to one of American Mufflers competitors who lay on the ground under the Jeep, looked for a few mins and then told me it would take him at least a full day to re-bend and weld the exhaust, and even then he didnt know if hed find the leak.So I took it to American Muffler and Radiator where they put the Jeep up on a lift and gave her a pretty thorough inspection before pointing out that there was a missing nut on the manifold that was probably the cause of the leak, and quoted me an hours labor to turn the exhaust properly, get it on the hangers right, and tack weld the joints in the new position.They did the work on time, as promised, and the Jeep is transformed. Great value, great service. Im a customer for life and will recommend this shop to anyone. You only need to look at the way they keep the shop - clean, tidy, organized - and contrast this with other outfits, and youll get a sense of the level of professionalism you find here.

Put new cats. And exhaust on my mustang, sounds and looks fantastic. Strongly recommend!

They did a great job installing a catalytic converter I had purchased online (Next time I will just purchase the converter from American Muffler. Buying online is risky, especially when trying to meet California emissions standards. Also fitment is a big risk, which is why I wound up looking for muffler shop.)

Very happy with work done. Fast and professional. 5 stars all the way!

Derk at American Muffler is the best. I work on cars and I only use these guys, without question, for all my customers. American Muffler is the place you can trust.

11/2016 I Brought my BMW in for custom muffler. After the work was completed I noticed the tips were not aligned properly. I brought it back next day to be fixed. The owner said I wash my hands of this, youll never be happy He kept my money and refused to fix his shoddy work. Terrible welding, terrible service, horrible sound. BE WARE OF THIS. Go to Artz Muffler auto repair & body shop instead. Half the price, great service and AMAZING work. Tell them Ivan sent you.

Best price and great service!

Dirk and his right hand man, Ismiel, did a great job at a fair price, in a timely manner, replacing sons CAT in his 1998 VW Passat.We are very pleased with the work and the service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AMERICAN MUFFLER, BRAKE & RADIATOR at 1320 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Thousand Oaks, CA under the ownership of Dirk.Dont let Dirks seeming lack of enthusiasm over the phone deter you. :-) I joked with him about it, which he good naturedly absorbed with a dry sense of humor. He strikes me as a mellow, old school shop owner which I find refreshing in comparison to some of the money grubbing, fast talking scoundrels who unnecessarily charge you just to plug in a OBDII!It turned out that the replacement took longer than expected so labor costs would have been more but he kept his word on the written estimate and thats what I paid. Did he lose money because of it? Well, you be the judge. He has a customer for life and this glowing review, which, hopefully will bring more customers to his shop. We drove over from Fillmore, left the car overnight and would do it again.I made three phone calls and stopped by two shops before contacting American Muffler. Yes, 6 estimates in Ventura County! But they ranged upwards of $1,500!! I paid about $700.The two local shops were more expensive, (not too outrageously) and couldnt get to the repairs for another week.The 3 shops contacted over the phone tried to run a fast one on us and tack on an extra $115 just to read the codes they were going to have to run anyway! Of course, the $115 would be applied to repairs if you had the work done there. Hogwash! That was $115 average... just to give me an estimate! What the.... ? You plug in the OBDII code reader. It clues you in. Thats what its for!. Its not a tool to use as an excuse to gouge customers. We already had the codes from the smog test but theses guys needed to run their own. To heck with the State mandated, Star Qualified printed results! They wanted money for nothing.Please People, dont allow this to become the status quo. Customers need to take a stand. DO NOT PAY $115 or even .15 cents for a shop to run a diagnostic check and read the OBDII! Sure, theyll say there is more to it and there very well may be in some cases but thats part of the job called SERVICE!Ill take my cars to the good ol boys where service is service and integrity still holds merit.Thanks, Dirk and your right hand man, Ismiel, at AMERICAN MUFFLER, BRAKE & REPAIR in Thousand Oaks.

The guy was so rude to me and as he was shoveling his breakfast sandwich in his mouth he said I’ll have to come back cause he was closing shop. It was 11:30 a.m. and he posts that he’s open until 1:00 p.m. not going back.

Friendly and quick.

Came in with an exhaust hanger snapped on my truck at the end of the day. They had it welded and reenforsed in 20 minutes. Thank you guys

Good n quick!

They closed up the hole in my custom exhaust system for less than I expected, and I was in and out in less than an hour!

Straight solid crew!
