Eric and the gentleman working with him were honest and frank. Eric explained the benefits of a DT muffler vs the more expensive brands and we worked together to come up with a set up on my Ridgeline I wish I had 7 years ago! Very happy with results both increased power and sound. Bright my GT350 Shelby in and they explained the set up I had was good for my driving style. Told me they could sell me something but it wouldn't benefit me very much. Refreshingly honest. I drove 40 minutes from ELA and would do again without hesitation! Many thanks read more

Babington from oily's had referred them to me. I called them Monday for a new catalytic converter and they told me to come by on Tuesday, I drove from San Clemente to Buena Park and had the best service and was done 45 mins and on my way, very fair pricing and friendly.. not many places like this exist anymore I will drive an hour away to give them my business thank you fantasy mufflers for taking care of me read more

Service: 4/5 Staff/Hospitality: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 Price was $160 for a mid muffler delete on a 19 Charger Scatpack. Other places quoted me anywhere between $175-220. My car sounds great, but noticed that one side of my muffler tips now sticks out about 1-2 inches further out than the other which I'm just personally a little picky about (it doesn't affect car performance as far as I'm aware). Staff were super kind, didn't try to patronize or "mansplain" things to me just because I'm a female driver. They were very brief, but straight to the point which I prefer and no bullshit. Got it done in about an hour and I'm overall satisfied + recommend them for their honesty and fair prices. read more

Gave me hell of advice for my muffler needs. Went in for noise under the SUV and told me what was wrong with and advise. Thanks!

It's very rare to find people who value others, treat you with respect, and are up front and honest with you. "The work ain't cheap, cause it ain't cheap!". Meaning, they are a little bit higher than other shops, but the work they do is worth so much more and they paid attention to detail! Thank you Eric and Steve for the work, and taking care of my high schooler! My new go to muffler shop! read more

I have known of fantasy muffler for years from friends in high school that have used them. They used to be right next to the 5 freeway for years. Anyway, i needed some work done on my clients F150, installation of catalytic converters And o2 sensors I had ordered. I called Steve for a quote and he was the most fairly priced one around. Easy to talk to and deal with. Scheduled to bring the truck. They did the job while I waited and the welds look awesome and not sloppy like other muffler shops I've used in the past. Quality work and a reasonable price, and friendly staff. All a great combination. I told Steve I would be sending more work to him and scheduling to do that again this week. Thanks again. read more

I had my catalytic converter stolen when I was visiting SoCal, which also damaged my muffler. While I was able to find a replacement catalytic converter, the OEM muffler for my car was discontinued, so I was referred to Fantasy Muffler to see if they could salvage/repair the existing one. Steve was very patient with me throughout the day-to-day saga of when my car would be ready for him, and once it was, he fixed the damage in an hour for the price he previously estimated, allowing me to get home. I wouldn't hesitate to use Fantasy Muffler for any of my future muffler needs. read more

It has been one crazy month, but I am so grateful I have found Fantasy Muffler to help with installing a catalytic shield/guard/anti-theft for my truck. I was referred to them from my collision place as well as a friend. I decided to give them a call and Steve was very helpful and friendly. He gave me the estimates over the phone. He was able to fit me in fairly quickly and they did the job extremely rapidly. I didn't even have to wait an hour; it was probably done within 20-30 mins. or less. Eric and Steve are very honest and did honor the cost that was quoted without hesitation. I will send more referrals their way since I enjoyed my visit here and they were able to get the job done that was needed. Thank you, Fantasy Muffler. read more

This is my first time ever leaving a review on a business but their services were so good, it almost felt unfair to not leave one. I called a couple shops before to find a quote and time estimate in getting a new catback exhaust installed into my challenger; not only were they more welcoming and nicer than everywhere else but got the job done in an hour (while other shops were telling me it would take the whole day or more) and charged me half of what everyone else was trying to charge me. Very honest and likable people. I'm relieved my uncle was able to find this place before my car ended up at the more popular muffler shops on Yelp. Really saved me lots of money, time, and unnecessary hassle. I never got to catch their names but thanks a lot! read more

These guys are awesome! I really don't understand some of the bad reviews? From the second I pulled in they were nothing but friendly and helpful. Just like anything in life, you get what you give. If you're acting like a D-bag, expect to get treated like one. As far as their work, it's top notch. They even cut a portion of the cross member so that my long tube headers wouldn't be rattling against it and create an annoying sound. Their welds are are very well done and not Mickey Moused. A huge thanks once again and I would not hesitate to refer anyone who needs exhaust work. These guys are true professionals! read more

We were referred here by Supreme Collision Fullerton after someone stole our catalytic converter. They were quick and did a quick job with repairs. We haven't had any issues. read more

Great service, even better people . I highly recommend this shop for a wide variety of issues.

Steve and his guys are the best. I smashed my Bronco exhaust on the trails. They rebuilt it, including the cats and O2 sensors, plus moving it up a bit to where a repeat performance is unlikely. They were quick, reasonably price and easy to talk to. read more

I had my catalytic converter stolen and went here to get it replaced. Steve (the owner) is a really good guy who tried hard to expedite the process, deal with my insurance company, and keep the price low. I'm really glad I came here. read more

Needed a simple weld for my muffler to reattach and the job was done as simple as that. No muss no fuss. Nice guys on the phone and in person. Prior to going to them I had requested quotes and one couldn't do it, another said it will be about a day, and one of the places referred Fantasy -- I'm so glad I went to them. read more

My car had a rattling sound that I couldn't find. Not only did they find where the noise was coming from but they also welded couple other parts that needed welding. read more

I went in for a quote and and was treated very poorly by Steve. Terrible customer service. They clearly do not value their customers. If you want good customer service please go elsewhere. If I could give 0 stars to this dump I would. read more

Amazing guys. Came for some help covering my converter & they were extremely fast and just absolutely nice and genuine guys. Give them all your service, it's worth it. read more

I don't know whats the deal with the reviewer Daniel F. is all about. I had one of the best experiences ever with Fantasy Muffler. My header completely cracked and my van sounded like chopper. I thought it wasn't repairable. They welded the two pieces right there and then. Took less then 30 minutes. I asked Steve how much and he said don't worry about it. I was like what..... couldn't believe that. I came back for a custom made header two months later and wow they did a wonderful job at a great price. Work of art. These guys know what they are doing and the price is more then reasonable. read more

My dad started it I remember being a kid about 11 and hearing a thunderous roar come to the house. It was my dads truck. I fell in love with that sound. My dad was the first but about 40 cars combined and a ton of years later my dad Bob Rivier, my brother Travis Rivier and I Jeremie Rivier can say hands down best and only muffler shop that will ever touch our cars. Done great on all my cars but this last my vette, muffler i got from a friend didnt fit well but they worked hours to get it looking perfect. I even said it is what it is and he said no i cant let u go like that and together they worked to perfect it. Then the price, holy crap cheap as hell. Wish i had more money I wouldve gave a mutch bigger tip. The mufflers my friend gave are to quiet so ill be going back to Fantasy for a full set up. Thank you guys you are and will always be a family best. read more

Had a magnaflow exhaust system installed on my car, unfortunately one of the hangers was not secure and would dig into the drive shaft.. So my mechanic referred me to this shop. I drove in and had the problem corrected right away on the spot! Steve took a look at the problem and immediately knew how to correct the situation. he did some cutting and welding and 20mins later my ride was good to go. I was thinking i would have to leave my car for a day but Steve helped me on the fly. i was very impressed and thankful. Thanks Steve! read more

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. I will never, EVER go back here, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone - even my worst enemy. Steve, the owner, is great and will work with you, but unfortunately I had to deal with Erick, who is an embarrassment to this company. I was promised one price upon arrival from the owner, but since the owner was out of town, Erick decided to not only keep my car (and me) for 6 hours, while verbally harassing me the entire time, but threatened to cut off the work he had already done multiple times throughout the process. He then proceeded to jack up the price because it took so long (labor costs) when in reality, he spent the majority of his time walking around, verbally attacking me and other customers, threatening us, and refusing to let us speak to upper management or the owner. Meanwhile the rest of the staff just stood by and watched this happen. This has literally been the worst experience with any sort of service company. And to top it all of, Erick did a horrible job on my truck, so I'm going to have to do it all over again with another company. There goes a couple hundred dollars down the drain. I never give bad reviews, but this was such an unbelievably horrible experience that I had to share, in hopes that nobody else will have to deal with this HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! If I could give zero stars, I would. Check the reviews, everyone hates this place except family members. read more

The poor reviews I genuinely don't understand. The staff there were extremely helpful and kind, and genuinely seemed like good people. They tried all kinds of things on my civic 2017 but even though it took a lot of time, they never lost their patience. Good people, better service. read more

My experience here at this shop was terrible! I paid to fix my muffler and they did not fix it! I came back again and they wanted me to pay extra for the same problem. Stay away from this place very expensive and bad service! read more
