Muffler Repair & Exhaust Inspection

What Does My Exhaust System Do?

The role of an exhaust system is not only to reduce overall noise from the engine, but also redirect dangerous fumes away from your vehicle. Unsecured exhaust systems pose a risk of leaking carbon monoxide - a colorless, odorless chemical that can cause severe health risks if inhaled. For the safety of yourself and your passengers, it is vital to have your exhaust system serviced on a regular basis.

Why Is Exhaust Service Necessary?

Excessive noise in your vehicle might be a sign that it's time for a new muffler or exhaust system. Many states and cities require emissions testing to register your car. Checking for your city's regulations prior to registering your car can help save you money and time.

When Should I Get My Muffler Checked?

• You notice loud thumps, growls, or bangs
• You see indicators of rust
• You notice a vibration or shaking of your muffler when idling
• Your muffler is hanging lower than expected

What Does an Exhaust Evaluation Include?

• Checking that the mounts are secure
• Inspecting your exhaust pipes so there are no fractures
• Checking your catalytic converter -- the component that redirects harmful emissions
• Examining oxygen sensing units
• Checking exhaust manifolds and gaskets for wear
• Examining the muffler for indications of corrosion or wear
