inkman Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 During my deliveries last night the pipe coming out of the back of my muffler severed due to rust. I'm not really handy when it comes to this stuff. Is a muffler shop the best bet for this? Which place will give me the best service and quickest turn around? Thanks in advance.

spndnchz Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 My brother fixed my Camaro once with the same problem. He took a cut up coffee can, wrapped it around the two ends and clamped it on with hose clamps. Worked for like a month before I had to get it really fixed. Then I went to Monro.

Where is the muffler on your car and is anything hanging or dragging? If it's near the back of the car I wouldn't even worry about it and just tie it up with a coat hanger if possible. If it's in the middle somewhere and noisy, then you would have to take it somewhere because exhaust systems usually need to be taken apart with torches and extreme heat. Also if it's near the middle of the car, we wouldn't want you sucking in carbon monoxide and getting all weird on us here....... :huh:. Anyways, you could take it to The Muffler Shop in Fairport on 31F behind Band auto or I could actually hook you up with Vesa'a Automotive. I know the dude's that own the place and I used to work there myself many moons ago. PM me if you need anything, I could always swing by and take a look see for ya. :thumbsup: It might cost you a large pepperoni with hot peppers and onions......mmmmm!

IMO Midas is on the high side. Monro and the other places that primarily deal in exhaust repair are much better options than the dealership.

MajorMinotaur Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 here is the scam. They give you lifetime warranty on a muffler, but that doesn't include the parts to attach it. The muffler is incredibly cheap and only lasts a year. So each year you come back for a free muffler from your warranty and they charge you like $50 for parts each time. I would imagine this is how most of the shops work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I just go to Monro. If I could do it myself I would, but I don't have the tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 If this is your first muffler to go, I REALLY feel old. :) Just my first on a weekend. Normally, my mechanic would handle this, but considering my truck sounds like a tank, (which was pretty cool during deliveries, minus the one that went to the Crane residence...as in Mark Crane...owner of all Mark's Pizzeria's) I need it fixed ASAP. The Muffler Shop is key. Local owner, went to my high school, employs actual mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I would avoid any chain muffler shop, under whatever brand. Take it to a local mechanic, shell out the extra $30, and relax when you realize that the local mechanic won't mess with the rest of your car just to bring you back (like I think the chain muffler/brake shops do). At least make sure you can watch your car while it's worked on. You don't have to be in the bay (and they shouldn't let you be there, anyway), but if they'll let you watch, it usually means they're ok (and you won't HAVE TO watch, dig?).

I had a sub last weekend and it was pretty damn good, but their pizza is excellent as well. The kid Kevin who usually runs it (his Mom owns the place) grew up on the street behind me. We used to pick on him and his brother when they were little. I wonder if they spit in my food now. :huh: So the plates are pretty good there? I must try one soon.
