I had a hole in my exhaust which left my car sounding like an old beater car when it is a 2024. Called a couple places and no could fit me in for several days. Got a referral to this place and called. He fit me in same day, communicated well, explained what he was doing and did it. In and out in less than an hour, reasonable prices too! Thank you for great service! read more

Had a great experience at this shop. Ted was awesome. He listened to what I was wanting, found options and then when I came in he showed me what the plan was. Great communication and pricing was fair and straightforward. I'd recommend this shop to anyone looking for exhaust upgrades. read more

Great quality fair and honest pricing - quick and efficient service. What you hope for and seldom get these days.

This shop is amazing! I had an exhaust leak due to some damage at a flange connection in my 2022 Ram. I had taken it to another shop who said they couldn't fix it but said they would replace the entire section including the 2 catalytic converters for an astronomical amount. Ted told me to bring it in and he would take a look at it. Ted jumped on it and called me shortly after I dropped it off. Ted sent pictures of the cracked pipe causing the leak and said he thought he could fix it. A couple hours later, Ted called and said he was able to fix the problem and my truck was ready. Ted is honest and extremely skilled. I highly recommend Big Jim's Custom Exhaust. read more

Ted is the go to guy for excellent exhaust work. He was competitive , professional and great to work with. Does not try to upsell you but does not hesitate to recommend the best course of action. So happy I found this shop. He created a well engineered exhaust on my 1970 corvette complete with x pipes. read more

Came in to get my exhaust upgraded he was really nice when I first went in. When I called back to setup an appointment he completely ghosted me left messages and texted him and no response at all. Went to Mad Hatters and was taken care of same day. read more

They fixed a my husbands old Honda Accord in 45-minutes. (We made an appointment and that helped with the fast turnaround time.) The car sounded like an ancient lawnmower, so loud, incredibly obnoxious. We also had an issue with exhaust leaking into the car. When they finished with the Honda, it purred like a kitten. It's still purring...great work Big Jim's, honest service, competitive pricing. Highly Recommend! read more

I just got flowmaster super 10's installed on my Mustang today. What a great experience working with this business. This is definitely my go to place for all my custom exhaust needs. read more

I brought them an impossible job, and they worked it like it was art! 89 Camaro with a LS swap and a 4L80e transmission, there is no room for 2-1/2" but they did it. Awesome job guys! read more

I had been wanting to get a deeper sounding muffler than stock on my Ram 1500. I called Ted and he totally walked me through what would sound good and loud on my truck. He gave me multiple options to go with. I asked if he could install the next day and he may room in his schedule. He had me in and out within an hour and a half with great pricing and customer service. Give them a call! read more

I'd highly recommend Big Jim's for any exhaust project. My regular mechanic recommended them after purchasing a Z3 that was straight piped in Pima county. The car was loud and wouldn't pass emissions. I called the shop and spoke with Ted (the owner) who scheduled me right away. Dropped the car off and 2 hours later had a beautiful sounding custom exhaust installed at an incredible price based on similar systems from BMW. Couldn't be happier with the experience, he obviously knows his stuff. read more

Big Jim's Custom Exhaust - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ted is an amazing fabricator and welder. In addition he is just a great easygoing guy and very professional. I am so happy with the work he did on my exhaust. My car sounds so much nicer and I really enjoy driving it. My car sounds sporty but not obnoxious or drony. Also if I want I can do a quiet mode with the flip of a switch. I took my car to another shop before I cam to Big Jims Custom Exhaust. I wont name them but they were rude brash and didnt wanna do what I wanted. I highly recommend him and will bring my other cars to him as well. read more

Called shop, got an appointment within 2 days. Went for appointment and was extremely impressed with service. Turns out someone tried to steal my daughters catalytic converter, thankfully not successful. Took about 45 minutes to fix, would have been quicker but exhaust had to cool before weld. Highly recommend! Thank you for your great service!! read more

GO SEE TED !!! This guy is awesome !! I went back for a second time to him for my new Jeep and he took the time to look at my exhaust system and then listened to what I wanted for it. We set up a n appointment and he went right to work. Ted knows his stuff. He was professional and skilled with his trade. He also took the time to recheck his work to make sure he got it all done. Now, I love my Jeeps' exhaust. Thank you Ted, youre the BEST!! read more

I've been here for five minutes, my car is jacked up, and I can already tell this is a great shop. Ted is a really nice guy, a real straight shooter, and he is more than fair. I brought in my cherokee to get a new catalytic converter. Once it was on the jack he asked if I wanted to take a look at the car. I walked into the shop and he told me exactly what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. I already have faith in his work. I'll add onto this review when he is done to talk more about the work he did. But based on first impressions I would say he runs a great shop. I'll be back for sure! read more

HONEST!!! He educated me on what exactly happened and what my options were to fix it. Amazing customer service!!! And saved me a boat load of money! Highly recommend!!!! Now i can go back to flying over hills LOL read more

The worst service you could want took my mercury for exhaust and Ted just blew me off no call back nothing the worst

I brought in my 2020 Grand Cherokee and wanted that deep rumble. For a very fair and affordable price, I now have the meanest one I've heard so far. I am bringing all my friends and my future cars to you guys read more

I originally got referred to this exhaust shop a couple years ago by a friend, he has done the exhaust on my old truck and my challenger. He's very honest and down to earth, and his work is always exceptional. I would recommend anyone to come here if they're looking for any type of exhaust work! read more

Had my 1991 BMW muffler done by ted and it came out amazing . Does quality welding and work . No problems so far . Too. Him about an hour because of some pipe bending . I recommend this shop very good prices and great work . read more

Did a great job with my car. Had it done the next day. They keep you updated all along the way until the job is done and price is reasonable. read more

We've been going to Big Jim's ever since we moved to Phoenix. They have great prices on their oil changes and I LOVE that they never try to get you to do "extra" work that really is not necessary. I really trust Jim and his son-in-law to take care of our cars. When work is needed, they are really realistic about what must be done and what can wait, as well as making good referrals when they can't do the work (I have a Prius, so this goes for my electric engine system). Personally, my husband and I have been really impressed at the lengths they go to to make sure problems are fixed and that you are satisfied. read more

Went here to get a new muffler for my truck. Ted runs the place and does a great job. Very helpful and personable. They did a great job and charged a great price. Highly recommend for any exhaust needs. read more

Amazing services! I came at 8am and my van was ready by 2pm. Ted is really nice, knows how to explain the situation even if you dont know anything about cars. Great price! I went to an auto shop and they wanted to charge me 3 times the price I paid with Big Jim's muffler! Overall it was an amazing service and so easy to deal with! Recommended! read more

I found Big Jim's via Yelp and was able to call and talk to Ted about installation of exhaust kit I've ordered. I have to say Ted was very helpful, informative, and welcoming with any questions I have. We were able to set up a date and time for install. Ted is a great person to talk to, during the install, Ted was very nice and informative in the process and on point about executing the install. I can see that Ted took pride in his work and it showed tremendously. Ted went above and beyond for the install. I would highly recommend this shop for exhaust system needs and request. Will be definitely be returning to this shop with any of my future needs for muffler/exhaust systems. read more

This place is as good as it gets. My husband took in his 1972 blazer 4x4 and Ted did an excellent job. He couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend this place, It is consistently quality work. read more

Great work at a fair value. I have used them for years for everything from simple repairs all the way to custom exhausts.

This past Tuesday, sometime during the day, the passenger side catalytic converter was stolen off of my Toyota Tacoma, and they attempted to steal the one on the driver side as well, but gave up. I called one muffler shop to see what it might cost to replace and fix everything. He said to replace it with an OEM Toyota cat, the part alone would likely cost $1800.00. He said that he could replace it with an aftermarket cat, but he had not had much luck with those on post 2001 Toyota, they can cause the system to throw a "check engine" light, so he couldn't guarantee them, but would do that for $300. After calling my insurance company and filing a claim, I called one of their recommended shops. Speaking with the owner of that shop, he said we could go through my insurance and they would replace it with an OEM Toyota cat; however, he said if it were him, he'd get an aftermarket cat to replace it with, and it would likely be less then my deductible. When I told him what the other muffler guy had said, he told me that they had replace lots of aftermarket cats on Toyota's with no problems. He then gave me Teds name and number at Big Jim's Custom Exhausts, told me that he was a real straight shooter who did great work, that I should ask Ted's opinion, and if Ted thought it was ok, he would go that way. If not, I could always call him back and go through my insurance. I called Ted, spoke to him for a little while, and got a very good feeling about him. Took my truck down so he could look at it, and he was the one who pointed out that not only had they stolen the cat on the passenger side, but they had tried to get the one on the driver side but gave up. He said he could put in a good aftermarket cat for $420, and fix the driver side damage for around $30-40, plus tax. I then asked him about putting in a complete new exhaust system to let the truck breath a little more, and after asking me how many miles were on it Ted said, "You know, I would just leave the stock exhaust system on it". "I've seen way too many people have lots of problems with headers and have to replace them all the time". "Maybe in a little while we could put a Magnaflow muffler on it that wouldn't have as much back pressure as the stock muffler, that's what I'd do". Now he could have said "Sure! A whole new exhaust system, I can do that"! And made a lot of money off of me. But, he shot me straight and gave me his honest opinion. Dropped the truck off this morning and it was all fixed this afternoon. I'm bringing it in again to him next week so he can weld some cold-rolled steel bars to my exhaust pipes to deter my catalytic converters from getting stolen again. Great Guy, Great Work, Real Honest, and I would Highly Recommend! read more

One of the best shops to do business with. They had the right mufflers for my truck and the cost was more than fair. It didn't take a long time to install and they look great! read more

Big Jim's is a family run business. They have been around for many, many years but they just moved they're location across the street from where they used to be. I have been there several times now. They got me a new catalytic converter for my Chevy cheaper than anyone else in town could offer. They even do a bunch of extras for free when I just bring it in for an oil change. When I asked if I needed a new "this or that", Jim said it was all fine and I didn't need anything else. At most places, they lie and tell you you need something even when you don't. Jim seems to pride himself on being honest and he is!!!!!!!!!!! They are so easy and pleasant to deal with anytime I need to take my car in for anything. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family! read more

Great shop. Owner Ted is straight forward and very good at what he does. Worth the drive to his shop. VERY fair pricing. He can tackle ANY exhaust issue so avoid the insane dealer prices and visit Big Jim's Mufflers. read more

Just got an x pipe installed on my 2011 Mercedes c300. Only took him a half hour. Great work!
