Velasquez & Sons Mufflers 4 Less & 4 Brakes

They’re cheap but you get what you pay for. I fixed my car there. The car was making a loud grinding sound. They said one of my wheel bearing needed to be changed. I said okay, during the repair they said I also needed a tie rod replaced so I said okay since the alignment was off.
They finish. I pay. I leave. I lived down the street so it was fine. Next day on the highway the noise is back. I take it back and they day the passenger side wheel bearing is bad! But I show them the receipt that says it had already been replaced! They say the woman messed up at the front but that it was the the driver one that was changed, not that one. She brings the mechanic out to tell me. I repair it but it left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Also, had the muffler fixed there too only to have s loud sound come from it 3 months later. I didn’t bother taking it back.
I’m sure they’re good at basic things that can’t be messed up but I would trust them with anything else.

I went here because I failed an emissions test. I had a code show up that I know was for the cataytic converter. They took one look at the code and told me, without looking at my car that a replacement was necessary. They told me that I would need to change my converter in the middle. The part costs $ 640 alone. I took the car to two other places. One quoting me $ 600 total for labor and parts and the other for $ 355.

They were very fast, fair and helpful! We called in the morning and were told to bring it over. We did and they replaced our front and rear breaks — told us exactly what was wrong — showed us the problem and then fixed it quickly and well. We will be back for sure!

Great shop, replaced my front and rear brakes, reattached my muffler and replaced my oil pan that I had for $ 500 cash. For the oil pan they had to remove the whole front under the engine to get to it. No appointment needed!!!

The flex pipe they repaired my broken one with was defective. The mechanic told me that this is the case in approximately 1 of 300 new flex pipes. I couldn’t find my receipt and was nervous about be recharged but they just fixed the problem and sent me on my merry way. Again Velazquez and Sons save the day.

Turned my loud, tuner like race car sound, into a quiet purr. Meow!
So what are the odds, that my check engine light came on when I was driving short distances in the city, but would go away when I drove long distances in the highway. Shortly after my car started to omit a terrible humming noise, I knew it was time for me to get my muffler checked out. By this time the check engine light was on, and not going away.
Being unsure of where to have my vehicle repaired I checked with 2 other shops closer to home. One flat out told me I needed a whole new muffler, $ 350.00 ouch! The other told me I just needed the whole front piece to what is called the flexible pipe (AKA the flex), which is a part that does flex and connect the front to the back of the muffler. They still wanted to charge $ 270.00 for this. I came to Velasquez as my third and final option.
They lifted the car, and told me upfront the flex was shot, that’s all it needed, $ 120.00 installed. I almost did a little dance when I was told the good news, but suddenly I remembered my check engine light was still on and would have to get it scanned and turned off as I had the emissions test coming up. They told me not to worry about it, they would scan it, and turn off the check engine light so I could pass the test. This by itself can run you about $ 50.00. Now I did my little victory dance.
Sure enough, 45 minutes later, and only $ 120.00, I couldn’t even hear that my car was on as I sat back in the driver’s seat. A couple of days later, I went and passed my emissions test. Great place, will come back and refer anyone in need of muffler repair.
