Awesome work. Professional service. Very fair estimate and final price. Great muffler repair.

I was referred to John and Darren by my mechanic because I was having some car trouble. I called John in the morning. He answered right away and got me in within the hour. He was so personable and kind and educated me on everything that needed to be done before he did anything. While they worked on my car, I went across the street to grab a quick breakfast and by the time I was done everything was finished up. The price was amazing and I will definitely be back! I am so grateful that I found these guys and will definitely be referring all of my friends and family! read more

I spoke with John on the phone and he was very helpful and friendly. I was asking if he can install a catalytic converter protector, CAT protector and he said that he can do that no problem and I think the price he quoted was fair. I just would need to order the part and he can install it as he doesn't have those parts in stock but most places don't. It was very easy to do a Google search to find the right part for my car. Thanks again, John read more

I was in and out in about 20 min. I just needed the exhaust hanger to be welded back up. I had a small exhaust leak and it was kinda loud. Now it's quite. Nice, trustworthy dudes! read more

I stopped by the shop here, and was given great advice to help my car out. Darren is very chill and knowledgeable, and I would come back for any exhaust/ muffler or welding needs. Take care gents! read more

My CAT got stolen and they got it quoted and fixed in the matter of an hour. Amazing people and super genuine

Had a custom Y-pipe made for my BMW 330i and I'm really happy with how it turned out. The welds look clean, everything fit perfectly, and there are no leaks or rattles. They got it done fast and treated me right the whole time. If you need custom exhaust work done the right way, I definitely recommend this shop. Recommend paying cash and tip the welders. read more

I was referred to this shop after my car failed emissions due to a clogged catalytic converter. These guys were great. Super professional, honest, and very reasonable prices. They took great care of my '87 Camry and gave me a referral to a body shop since I was also looking for a reputable shop for paint. They ordered a new cat when I arrived and I came back to have it installed within a couple of hours. It took maybe 15 minutes for them to replace it. I'll definitely come back to them if I ever need any exhaust work done on the car. Thanks guys! read more

These guys fixed and replaced my catalytic converter at an amazing price after I was scammed and sold a lemon. They worked hard to make sure i'd pass smog and even referred me out to electricians and different specialists that suited my cars needs, all people referred also gave me amazing pricing. Very kind and honest people, very upfront about pricing and very detailed about all the information given. They even took before and after photos for me so that I could build a case i against the guy who scammed me. They did amazing work and I would recommend them to anybody who asked! read more

These guys do THE BEST work in the area and I know how to identify a good shop because my uncle has had one for over 30 years back in my hometown. I called other places with good reviews and I always kept coming back to Advance Tire & Muffler. Other mechanics even recommended them. That's when you know they are legit. Prices are extremely fair and you will get an honest opinion and a professional job. Jorge is a really skilled guy. John who has decades of experience in this business know his stuff. Don't go anywhere else. I even compared them to the other top reviews ie High Flow, Advance had the best price, gave the most thorough explanation, and offered the best value. I was out of there in no time too. I am sure a place like High Flow is good but Advance was better priced, more knowledgeable, and had the patience to explain. read more

Highly recommend Advance! Some guys tried to steal the catalytic converter from my daughter's Prius, We don't know much about cars, so had no idea if they were successful or not. Based on the stellar reviews, I called Advance and spoke to John who patiently explained how to check if it was still there, what to look for and to bring it down to the shop so they could look at it free of charge. We took the car down, met with John and the owner Darren who were incredibly nice. They immediately put the car on a lyft and had an assessment within 5 minutes. Luckily the converter was still there and they were able to have it completely repaired in 45 minutes. Service is truly excellent and the cost very reasonable. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I was calling multiple shops to get my mufflers installed but non of them would do it. I called up advance and sure enough they told me to come in so they can come check it out. Came the next day and had no hastily doing the work I told them. They were also very caring to the customers and went above and beyond since my first car show is in the following day. They also gave me a price I couldn't resist! I really recommend this shop! And also it's true they do give out water lol. Best water out there haha. read more

John's a good guy. Had to replace my catalytic converter and he gave me a great deal. Was done quickly and he even had me come back after 80 miles to make sure everything was set in order to pass my smog check, which it did. read more

I've honestly never had such good service. Drove to Cali from Minnesota, at some point my muffler became detached at the resonator. Took it to advance and they had it fixed within an hour for far less $ than I expected. They were all very friendly and accommodating. Without them our whole vacation might have been ruined. Thanks again, much appreciated. read more

A couple months back some asshats tried to steal the catalytic converter from our 2007 CR-V. Fortunately they were scared off, but that left our collector with integrated catalytic converter cut in two places. The job was straightforward in that the cuts were at an angle, but required some thought because the piping was double walled. I had narrowed it down between here and another shop on LB Blvd, so I removed the damaged piece and went to High Flow Mufflers for my first quote. I'm an individual who knows his way around cars and like to be thorough, but when I asked the aforementioned shop how the repair was going to be made and how they were going to address the double walled piping, I was brushed off. This left me with the impression that the work wasn't going to be done right since they couldn't explain it. I then made my way over to Advance Tire & Muffler where when posed the same question were thorough and explained how they were going to go about it. Despite having the part in hand, they preferred to have it along with the entire vehicle to ensure the piping would be straight. Again, a testament to their workmanship and will to do things right. Went home, had our car towed to them, received a call an hour later, and not only did the install the piping back, which allowed me to drive off, but they also cleared the check engine light. Class act all around and would recommend them over the other exhaust shop I mentioned in my review. read more

Secretly took my Husband's truck to get his muffler installed. Did not feel like I was looked down too taking his big O truck in lol I received great service! The pricing was great as well. They were really helpful. The outcome sounded/sounds Great! Really recommend this place (: read more

I had a piece of pipe broken in my exhaust system where it connects to the muffler and found an affordable place to fix it. They do not take appointments and it is first come first serve. I got there when it opened. The service was great and they were able to salvage the muffler and only replaced the broken pipe that rusted off. It was amazing how they can re-manufacturer the pipe on the spot. Don't have much experience with this type of work but John (Owner) and his person got it done right. Very friendly, excellent service, and HONEST place of business. Will highly recommend to all! read more

The guys did a great job! I will be coming back again once I have more parts! Thank you! read more

Stopped in and chatted with the owner, great guy! I got a price and made an appointment, this place stays really busy. The reason why is that this is nit your back alley muffler shop. The owner stands behind what he does and his pricing is reasonable. The place is old and it's dirty but it's all so a muffler shop. If you need a muffler or in my case my mufflers put back on please give these guys a call. They are located on PCH just north of the LB circle at PCH and Lemon. Please tell them Costa Mesa Dave sent ya. read more

Do you wanna know why Advance muffler is always busy and there's a line of cars and trucks waiting for them to open every morning? It's because they are simply the best muffler shop in the City of Long Beach and the surrounding area by far. John this team are amazing and went out of their way to help me with my Blazer. They did a complete custom exhaust system from the exhaust manifold all the way to the tail pipe something that should've took a day and a half to do. They did it and four hours. This is old-school service at its best! five stars. read more

These guys came on a recommendation from our electrical guy and I am so happy we went with Advance Tire & Muffler! John and Darren were very helpful and professional. We had an exhaust replacement done and it turned out beautiful. We have a diesel truck with a 4inch straight pipe, so not the easiest to work on. These guys had our truck done the same day I brought it in for a price quote! The pricing is fair. The shop is friendly. The quality of work is amazing. You will get a fair deal if you go with these guys. I really appreciate our new exhaust and the pleasant experience. Thanks guys! read more

The silencer on my motorcycle fell off while on the road and needed a quick fix. A few months ago I'd taken it to High Flow but it wasn't until the silencer that fell off that I realized they did a poor job installing it. So I wasn't going back to them. Luckily on my search today I found Advance. The owner is cool AF and was able to quickly help me. New silencer on and welded so that there's no air leaks and loss of power. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Just a updated review. Well it's has been 7 months since they hooked up my car and has been great but due to circumstances I have to have them removed. Thankfully I listen to their advice when we first did them and did a muffler delete instead of a resignator delete. They took care of me once again and even eases the pain of switching back by painting my factory tips to keep the blacked out theme going. Thanks again you guys really appreciate it! read more

Great people! Came in with no appointment. They simply took a look, let us know how long it would be and gave a price and done! They even helped us get breakfast right across the street because we were starving and were able to watch while we ate. Thank you guys so much! read more
