Muffler Express

I got a coupon online for Smog check and CERT, I paid less than $ 30. It was done less than 15mins. Great service.

I moved from PA and now I’m trying to get my CA registration. I found a coupon online for a $ 19.95 smog check by googling smog test coupon.
I called Mufflers and they said they’d honor it since my vehicle is newer than 2000. The smog test took all of 10 minutes and to my surprise I passed! I’ve heard that it’s hard as hell to pass the CA smog test so this made my day. Matt provided great customer service.
Also, though they honored the coupon there’s an $ 8.95 charge for… Something. I forget exactly what the charge is for but they also only take cash or check.
I didn’t make an appointment either.

Fixed my squeaky brakes in under an hour. If you are looking for honest, hardworking, professional & knowledgeable technicians that knows about cars & what they are doing minus the expensive dealer cost come see and support this local family owned shop! Good mechanics are hard to come by… you won’t regret taking your car here!

These guys are the best! Alfred works with clients and in the best mechanic in the Bay Area.

I went here to have my muffler looked at and they very thoroughly inspected my car and realized that there was a catalytic converter issue as well. Their pricing was incredibly fair. Although I didn’t end up getting the car fixed, and instead bought a new car, I would definitely recommend this place — they’re very honest, hardworking repairmen.

I shopped all over the peninsula for a new catalytic converter for one of my cars and Muffler Express had the best price. Dropped it off around 1pm and got a call at 4pm that it was done. Car passed smog shortly after! Thanks guys!

Alfred is a super cool guy. Very knowledgable and honest. I always take my BMW, Honda and Buick here because he is reasonable. I was going broke taking my BMW to the dealership for small repairs. You can trust what he says and not feel like he’s trying to rip you off. Taking your car here is the way to go if you want good, honest service.

I’ve taken multiple vehicles here and everytime they do a great job. My first vehicle was a camaro. The prices to get the mufflers installed was extremely affordable and sounded great. The tips stuck out a little further than I wanted and they gladly fixed the issue. After that my other 2 vehicles came out just as great with the same level of service. Alfred is awesome and knowledgeable. Best muffler place in town!

Auto Zone in Redwood City recommended this place to me. My radiator on my 05 Altima blew just as we were about to head South to San Bernardino. Had originally taken the car to Boardwalk Nissan, whose service department tried to charge me 3 times the going rate for a radiator replacement. Contacted Alfred at Mufflers, who told me to get the car over there and they would get us back on the road. Boy Howdy, what a refreshing jolt of honesty, courtesy and downright concern for us. Alfred not only got our car repaired in record time (90 minutes!) he double checked that everything was in proper working order before releasing the car to us. The icing on the cake was the fee — $ 340 out the door. And to think Boardwalk Nissan only wanted $ 912.00 for the same job. Alfred you and your staff made our day. The temp gauge hasn’t budged since we left. Thank You Sir!

I’ve been going to Alfred for more than 12 years and he has never let me down! This is the place to go for your exhaust needs! Cheers! Juan is also a very knowledgable guy and their pricing is on point! Muffler express for the win!

We are so happy with the professionalism that the team at Muffler Express demonstrated to change our catalytic converter. Thank you very much.

Muffler Express saved our vacation!
Our transmission went out in our Suburban right before our vacation.
Had it towed mid-​day Monday. Drove it home on wednesday.
Inexpensive-​Great quality work-​quick turnaround!
Two thumbs up!

Great service, great pricing.
I took my mustang over to Muffler Express to get a Magnaflow Competition Catback Exhaust kit installed. Alfred took my car in and did great work. At the end of the day it cost me $ 180. He even threw in a free bolt tightening checkup a week later just to make sure it sits properly after it had been driving for a while. If you need work done on a muffler or other exhaust related parts, go see Alfred at Muffler Express. Nice guy, knows his stuff, and wont kill your budget in the process. A+ and repeat business from me.

Had a new muffler put on here to replace a rusty old one. These guys were very quick, and honest about what needed to be done. Reasonable prices as well.
They can do general maintenance/​repairs on your car as well, not just limited to exhaust related work.
This isn’t a fancy place, but they do good work.

I brought my restored 1970 Landcruiser here to have them correct a few mistakes made by the restoration shop (routing the pipes under the passenger doors, no Cat. converters, fumes in cab, etc.)
He took my rig in right away. Threw it up on the lift. Pointed out the problems. And explained how he would fix it in plain English. A complete re-​work and re-​routing of this truck’s exhaust system was done in less than a day. It looked and sounded amazing **and** came in under his estimate.
In an industry that’s has traded off preying on the fears of unsuspecting and over-​charging the un-​knowing. But I’m happy to say ME is a gem. Alfred is fantastic — very personable and knowledgable. And I would absolutely go there again for any other auto needs.

Awesome service and staff! Thanks for taking care of my baby! I’m a customer for life now! Prices are very reasonable and I trust their work. I went to another shop and they tried to charge me 3 times as much. We will be bringing our cars here from now on! Thanks again Muffler Express!

These guys are awesome! Great customer service, when a part malfunctioned, they told me to bring it in, swapped in a new one free of charge in 1 hour. Great prices, good service and awesome ppl.

They took advantage of us too. This place was recommended to us so we had our car towed from Vallejo, since it was leaking that much oil. Me and my husband were one car short for a week running similar schedules, and when we finally got our car back, within 30 minutes, our check engine light came on.
We called, and they said it was «normal» and to give it a few weeks for the smell of burning oil to go away. Ok sure, I’m no mechanic obviously, but we thought we could trust this guy (friends of friends), and he already knew we would have to drive it 50 miles just to get home! Isn’t it unsafe to be driving a car like that for that long?
After 2 weeks of it running like it was before we took it in, it stalled on the way to school twice! (the school is 7 minutes away through some hills.). We finally went to another mechanic, who told us EVERYTHING, and even had to contact the shop to make sure what he was doing was right. Turns out, they did NOT fix the oil leak, did NOT tell us it was not fixed, only fixed the timing belt, charged us over $ 500, and let us drive away!!! To make it worse, they did not have any record of it all since it was «under the table».
We had to sell the car! It would not go 30mph uphill in a residential neighborhood on the way to school! Fortunately we were able to sell to another mechanic who saw all the diagnostics run on the car from our Vallejo mechanic, so he knew everything he needed to do + the cost, but not after we had already forked out so much money.
I mean, if your not going to fix the problem, you could at least look out for your fellow human customers and say something. I was irate!

These guys fixed my muffler and tail pipe for $ 130.00 for both. They did it the day I called them and without any additional issues making the problem bigger.
I would recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs a quick and inexpensive muffler and installment.
Great job guys!

Alfred is a great guy and fast mechanic he changed my brakes pads in a really fast time. I’m always weary of mechanics and their shops but I guarantee that you wont be weary of this shop. I will def make this my car doctor from now.
