Provided by YP.comMike replace 2 of 4 catalytic converters on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac II. He started off by saying the price would be $1200. He let me ponder that for a moment, then to my relief he said after market he could replace them for $780. I had him do the work feeling I was paying a fair price. He informed me the other 2 converters will need replacing soon. Ok a few months later I had the other 2 converters replaced by La Mesa Tire and Muffler on Parkway. Armando did the same job for $383. I WILL NEVER GO TO BUDGET MUFFLER EVER AGAIN!!!

Provided by YP.comI don't believe in anyone except "BUDGET MUFFLER" regarding my vehicle, entire area they have best mechanics,
they are the best service provider, whole staff is very punctual,well mannered,will educated,
they care your vehicle as you care, the guy named Allan is the
greatest one Budget have, He deals the customers with its best gestures,
anyhow there is no match with Budget, they are the best,
recommended to everyone.

Provided by YP.comCUSTOM EXHAUST @ DISCOUNTED PRICES!!!
I was referred here by a friend after getting the run around at another shop. Even though my buddy told me about this place I still went somewhere closer to my house. They quoted me a great price for exhaust work but when I went to pick it up (7hrs later) it wasn't even close to what I wanted.
WOW......What a difference, I dealt with Alan which was awesome! This guy knows his stuff and overseen all aspects of the install. He was running around dealing with customers, phones, parts and I even caught him welding something. Good Guy and friendly helpers too!
I will be back BUDGET for my Brake Job & Tune Up up real soon! THX AGAIN!!!

Good Guy and friendly helpers too! While sitting in the shop waiting for my vehicle which they did a full custom job in 1.5hrs i got to know a lot of other customers that had nothing but great things to say about these guys.

Provided by YP.comI have not taken my vehicles anywhere else since I started taking them to Budget Muffler. At first, I would compare prices just to make sure. Budget Muffler not only beat other prices, were consistently courteous, punctual, and professional. Their service was above and beyond. I have referred several close relatives to Budget Muffler and they as well have been very pleased with their service and have returned with other needs.

Provided by YP.comI took my truck in for brakes and an alignment and they quoted me a fair price. They were very busy, so I decided to leave my truck and call my wife to pick me up. Mike heard my conversation with my wife and offered to drive me home and pick me up after work was completed. Less than two hours later and I was called my Budget Muffler and Brake and told the work was completed. My wife drove me down and now the my truck is in A-1 condition. I would recommend Budget Muffler and Brake to anyone needing work done.

Provided by YP.comI was so shocked to see a bad review about this place. I brought my car in for brakes and they gave me so many choices and explained sly of them. Being a girl most car places try to take advantage of me but they didn't. I have sent many friends and family members hear to deal with Allen and everyone has had a wonderful experience.

Just Called these guys after finding on YELP.com and I must say after talking to these guys about some custom work I needed on my new car....I know why they have been here forever! I have been passing by this shop since I was a kid and its the same guys! I started off talking to mike and was passed onto allen for some questions about exhaust and performance chips and intake. These guys where great and friendly. I ended up buying a dual exhaust from Allen and then brought car back to have my custom rotors installed. Soon I will be here for an Alignment after I get my new rims!

I have been calling around all day trying to find a good deal on a Catalytic Converter and Exhaust system replacement for my vehicle. WOW, these guys where cheap! I went in and talked to Allen, I ended up upgrading to a Custom exhaust for not much more and boy do I love it! These guys have a LARGE inventory and same day service. I brought back for brakes, alignment and tune up, every time they amaze me with there great work & reasonable prices. I have been sending all the women in my family to these guys because of there NO B.S. policy! They have all been very pleased and are treated very well! THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE GUYS!!!!

Provided by YP.comI went in for an alignment and they told me that I needed all kinds of other stuff. I knew I needed the tires to be balanced and they quoted me $40.00. I came back 2 days later and they would not do it for $40.00 at the beginning until I convinced them. I got the balance done and I went home. On my way home my car was still shaking. I called them the next morning. They told me to go back to the shop to see what the problem was. I went back and they wanted to charge me to look at it again. They told me that the balance was done and that I needed tires. My tires are new. I purchased them 3 months ago. I actually took it to the tire shop after I left Budget Muffler and they told me that the tires were in excellent condition. I know the economy is bad but they much rather have the money and rip people off than have return customers.
Hello, We remember you very well. I would love to address your concerns with our business. I would like to first thank you for turning us in the BBB which found us at no fault according all your receipts and our dohcumentintation. We bent over backwards to try and help you address the problem but you didn't want to listen. The fact is your vehicle needed a lot of work other than the cheap route you where trying to take. We told you before we started you needed more work than this vehicle is worth. We also know you problems with the shop before us. We would love to help address your vehicles issues and have been in business for so long because we do care and we live off customers referrals. We are very troubled by your bad experience and would have loved to refund your $40 before you wrote your bad reviews and brought the BBB into it, I would have loved to make you happy especially with that little amount of money ! Wish you all the luck in the future!

Provided by YP.comI had my vehicle worked on here. I came in to have a muffler installed on my car and they happened to notice that I had a leaking brake caliper. They were able to repair it at a reasonable price and I was safe for my upcoming road trip. Thank again guys I am sold on your service!!!!
