Friendly folks. Rolled in on a Monday to show them what I needed. They made me an appointment for Thursday. Dropped the vehicle off in the morning. Got a call late morning that it was done. Exhaust manifold back was completed nicely. Price was very reasonable. Will definitely use them again on future projects. read more

Don't pay with cash. They will refused to give you a receipt for labor cost. However they did a good job on the service.

They had great customer service Savannah and Ramon were outstanding with how they quickly took care of my car. They provided so much great information to help me through the issues with the car. Also they gave me a free diagnostic with my repair which was great and told me exactly the most efficient and cost saving way to repair my car. They even fixed my hood that needed welding on the latch because it was damaged from an accident. I will definitely be going back to them for any repairs that I can get done by them. I felt safe and not taken advantage of at all. Amazing staff. read more

Honest, fast and knowledgeable. I was referred to this shop to get my muffler delete with tip changes and I got to say I am very pleased with the results. I don't know anything about cars and I explained exactly what I wanted and they delivered! Due to the fact that I don't know anything about vehicle enhancements, I had gone to a few other places that wanted to over charge me. I highly recommend them they are honest and work super fast they had my car ready in less than 45 and without an appointment. read more

I came in to get some piping done on my car, i had brought my own tips, popped into the Advanced Auto going out of business sale and I bought a dozen or so exhaust tips and muffler related piping and I wasn't clear if the price I was quoted $130 I was unclear if that including the cost of the tips. (Their tips or Mine that were in my back seat. ) Fast forward about an hour I'm bs'n' with the girl who works there and when I went to pay I was unaware that the dude reached into the backseat and grabbed the two of the tips I had brought, and long story short, I thought he had used their tips so I was confused, and overcompensated by leaving them the full $130 AND and additional 3 tips (value prob $15-$50 each depending on who you ask ) figured I'd offer them Up to the guy because I originally thought those tips came from THEM AND NOT FROM MY BACK SEAT I Even asked the dude. Man I must if left the two matching ones at home. I was going to offer them in place of the ones I thought came from HIS SHOP. SO I PROCEEDED TO OFFER THE OTHER 3 tips as compensation Because the guy looked at the girl and they shrugged and took it. I said these will be to compensate you for the two tips you welded onto my car. (I still can't believe I didn't see him grabbing those from my back seat. I guess because I told them I had my own tips he took that as permission. To grab and use said tips but the thing that's DISHONEST TO ME WAS IN THE CONFUSION I ASKED THEM. THOSE TIPS I BROUGHT, the matching pair I can't seem to find (so i guess I'll give you these 3 for payment towards the two) Any honest person with a guilty conscience would have stepped up and said. "No man. I think you're confused. THOSE ARE THE TIPS YOU BROUGHT. YOURE NOT MISSING THEM AT HOME I GRABBED THEM FROM YOHR BACK SEAT WHEN YOU WERENT PAYING ATTENTION ETC. but if you want to leave those three as a tip feel free to. I wasn't going to say anything in fact i eas trying to get a different muffler installed but my calls were ignored the following day (that damn caller ID they didn't know what to say but I was only calling for a price on something else. After I called a consecutive 3 different days and got ignored /ghosted each day called multiple times. Funny the first time I called got a swift answer and came in within the hour where this fiasco started. They knew they shoulda said something when I was looking for my matching tips.(thinking back when I was trying to clear the confusion and they both looked at each other like (he didn't see me grab it so he thinks he's paying for our tips on top of the $130! So yeah, let him give us those on TOP he'll never realize I swiped those from his back seat! I don't like leaving bad reviews like this but I gotta call out the dishonest BS when you see it. (Again called on 3 different days after they took the extra from me and looked at each other ) and I was ghosted on 3 separate days I called for a price on a different job wasn't even trippin on the whole thing until now. read more

Brought in my 2023 BMW M3 Competition for a dual resonator delete. Straight piped the first/forward resonator, and x-piped the second/rear resonator. The job itself was quick, as Ramon and Savanna were able to get me in on the spot. Was out in ~30 minutes. Pricing was on par with the few other shops I got quotes from. Ramon understood what I wanted, and everything was easy and straight forward. Car sounds proper, as it should have from factory. Would recommend Advance Muffler Shop read more

The service was not what I would've expected nor wanted but they got the job done to the extent that I told them to I had my exhaust fall off on me so they worked what they had made my car quite not to my taste but solid nonetheless and decent for 200 bucks read more

Called a few shops to get a quote for a muffler delete and these guys were the most reasonable. I'm new to the area but not new to the game. Most of the other shops were asking for an arm and a leg 0_o... Aside from their reasonable price, they are friendly, responsive, and quick to get me in and out. I'll definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I Highly Recommend!! Andy and his team did an excellent job installing my exhaust on my 64' Impala Project! They installed ALL brand new 2" pipe from the manifolds straight out the back with chrome tips. I went with 18" MagnaFlow Glasspack Mufflers. They did a real clean job of bending and welding everything together. The bends are clean and tight and everything was tucked away and welded really nice! The exhaust sounds awesome!! These guys take pride in their work and are good people. Give Andy a call! read more

My car had a check engine light in Nov. 2018, and was "fixed" by this shop. The check engine light came back in March 2018 and I contacted the shop to inquire about the light and after taking it over for them to check, I was informed that the warranty would possibly not be covered and that they would have to take out the part, my car would be parked and they would send the part back to the manufacturer to inspect it. I was also informed that if they found something wrong, I will still need to pay for the labor and the warranty on the current part is limited. After much frustration and spending over $300 and then over $900 to take my vehicle to another shop to do a full diagnostic, the light is still on, same exact issue (2019). Had to take my car to a dealer to get issue resolved. read more

Service: Cat-back exhaust install Vehicle: 2003 RSX Type-S I called the day before and made an appointment first thing the following morning. The previous vehicle owner had put on a very restrictive, and crappy welded mandrel-bent exhaust, which was also annoyingly loud. I purchased a cat-back system to replace it. Advance Muffler got me in and out in under 45 minutes. They removed the previous exhaust and installed the new cat-back. They made sure fitment was good and sent me on my way. Advance muffler was nice and up front. I'd definitely come back for future exhaust services! read more

Had my exhaust crack at a weld and called to see if I could get it welled back up. They told me to come in and in about 30 minutes from the call I was driving out with my exhaust fixed. They told me the price upfront and that was the price I paid. They were very informative about what they were doing and I will definitely be going back when I get a new muffler. read more

The service I received at Advance Muffler was great! They replaced my catalytic converters very quickly and professionally. I would definitely use them again. read more

Took my fathers truck to have some exhaust flanges re clocked and he told me no because it had "headers" that are carb legal and I even explained it and still not and the truck still had all the catalytic converter's and mufflers in the factory spot. So I was really confused on why he wasn't able to just re clock some flanges ‍ I was even recommended highly to take it to him but I guess the hype wasn't real ... read more

Fast , honest service and they seem to genuinely care. They welded cuts made when someone tried to steal my catalytic converter. read more

The team at Advance Muffler shop hooked my wife and my car up(2019 TLX and 2018 IS300). They had great recommendations and we are pleased with excellent service. We came here with no idea on how to make our cars sound good and clean. They guided us every step of the way and we are satisfied customers. They definitely know what they are doing and we will be returning customers if ever needed again. I Highly recommend them for clean and professional work. read more

Advance Muffler Shop is awesome! They were super great about helping me out right away. I bought a new (new to me) car that had the incorrect catalytic converter installed. So when it came time to smog it, the car failed the smog test. Fortunately, Andy helped me out right away with swapping my catalytic converter for the correct one, on the spot, same day of my visit for a very reasonable price. This is a family-owned shop, run by Andy and his dad, helping out everyone in the Riverside area. I will be heading back to them for all of my car needs and sending all of my friends here for their exhaust installs! read more

After getting many quotes for replacing my cat converter on my Mercedes sl500 as well the muffler. I found this place on yelp. I went there on Monday and I met with Anthony great guy. He gave me a quote a way cheaper than the other competitors and the appointment was today at 9 am. Was there late but they still let me in. The car took about 2h to get ready. It was a bit complicated since it is a Mercedes and there is not enough space for modifications.. But let me tell you. When he turned the engine on and I heard my baby new voice. Wawwwww. It was bad. Like really bad. I am very satisfied with their work. I have 1 year warranty and Anthony and his guy were very helpful.. Thank you Advance muffler. Such a great job. I will upload video in a bit read more

Had Advanced Muffler install my new cat-back exhaust on my Gen1 Ford Raptor and they did a great job at a really good price. Took then under 2 hours from start to finish and it probably would have taken me all day! They were super friendly and I highly recommend to anyone needing muffler or exhaust work. Waaay cheaper than the dealership and I have more confidence in the work they did because I got to see it up on the lift while they were working on it and when it was all done. read more

Not recommended 1. Didn't inform me that he can't accept credit card ahead of time when he knew his machine "doesn't work" 2. Had him swap out my aftermarket exhaust manifold and install my OEM back, he doesn't really use care when it comes to installing. Tried to force a pipe in because the heat shield was getting jam between the engine and chassis. After a few tries, he decided to perform some Mickey Mouse action and just hammer the part sticking up on my OEM pipe instead of doing it right and disassemble the heat shield. 3. Upon disassemble my aftermarket pipe that I'm going to sell, he just throw it on the floor instead of placing it lightly. 4. The gasket I provided was installed on the wrong side of the pipe. Obvious he doesn't really know how to install correctly and just going off his instinct or experience. Overall this is like paying some random guy at a strip mall parking lot to change my pipe or fix my dent and you know damn sure he's not going to do a good job read more

I wanted to thank Anthony and the team at Advance Muffler in Riverside for your time in expert advice. Honest, trustworthy techs!! Originally I walked in looking for a cat converter, but after Anthony inspected my vehicle, considering the miles it had, age, he advised the costs were going to be too expensive for the current value of the vehicle. Since my vehicle already qualified for a $1K retirement rebate he advised to take it. If you're looking for an trustworthy tech in the Riverside area visit the guys at Advance Muffler. read more

These guys were quick to do my mid muffler delete. I appreciate them for there service!

I came here through a friend and yelp reviews and couldn't be happier! I took my BMW F10 535i and had my resonator and mufflers removed and added a 2 1/2 in. straight pipe. The car sounds absolutely amazing and the service was awesome. I had Abraham help me out and he was amazing. It's really cool to be able to watch your car be worked on in front of you and the work/ cuts were perfect. They let you make sure every step is perfect for you and cut the parts cleanly so if you ever need to put parts back on you can have them do it. Overall I'm extremely happy with the job they did and the sound of the car is absolutely insane! read more

I paid $125 to have an exhaust bracket welded on a chip welded on and a push bar welded to gather. They welded me on a exhaust tape that already had rust spots on it. They also did not weld the push bar together at all. It was a waste of $125. read more

I have always had a great experience with Anthony the owner. He has great prices for good work very honest and helpful. He gave me the exact sound I was looking for. Even with the new California exhaust law he took the time and made sure I am legal. He has the proper tools to test even showed me the decibel reader and went over the new law with me he is very understanding and knowledgeable in exhaust work. I highly recommend this place he has helped out my friends and family never complained he also does car maintenance which is great. read more

Had to get both exaust manifolds replaced (they had cracked) on our Nissan Armada. The two guys working at this shop were awesome! Very, very fair priced and outstanding work. 1/2 the price of the dealer and so much nicer to work w/. We drove up from Temecula because Advance Muffler beat all of the local prices where we live AND they knew more of what they were talking about when we spoke w/ them over the phone. They even took the time to ensure that the stickers for smogging (Cali has strick laws) were placed in the right spot. Drove great home and passes smog 2 weeks later w/ no problems at all! The shop is small (so don't judge by the outside) and in a little strip mall of auto, tire, and glass repair shops. Nothing much from the outside but w/ the great work they did inside they didn't need all of the frills of a big fancy loby or shop. read more

Had them install a 4' turbo back exhaust on my 2006 Ford F-350 6.0 turbo Diesel. They did a really excellent job at a fair price really happy how it came out. I also really appreciate the owner working on the truck because it is a larger vehicle and doesn't fit on their rack they didn't mind working on the ground to make sure the job got done. Other shops wouldn't of bothered touching it but they did. I definitely recommend this place. Owner is friendly and staff is too. read more
