Went recently, new owners, rip-off pricing. Won't go back. Sad what has happened but they make money using YOU as a food source.

First class service up down in and out! They always shoot you straight and come up with different options because Exhaust work can be expensive. At least three vehicle vehicles here., I even forgot my bike there recently, and the owner was gracious enough to hold onto it for me until I could get back to get it! Highly recommend!! read more

Been here three different times over several years. E-V-E-R-Y time I had great service that was fast and affordable. All people from the owner, mechanics and office staff could not have been friendlier. I love this place!!! A+++++ read more

Came and brought my jeep gladiator 2025 for a muffler delete . The owner puts my truck onto the lift and quotes me $140 I've paid $80-90 for my previous trucks and I stated that to him . Owner starts bringing my truck down then starts negotiating after he got upset and said take it to the other shops . Very unprofessional and overpriced . Took my money to Velasquez & Sons Mufflers IV and they took care of me for $95 . Wouldn't recommend this place for a fix's . read more

Took my 92 mustang 5.0 here for performance mufflers and to have the tailpipes re-attached. They had the mufflers I was looking for in stock, completed the work while I waited, and brought me out to inspect once completed. Top notch work and reasonably priced. This is the place to go if you have a vintage or custom ride and you want the good sounds outta your pipes! read more

The service was quick and very good. I got my dodge charger rt mid mufflers deleted and I was skeptical about where I could get this done but I came across this place. And I was not disappointed! Very great price and overall service was great! Highly recommend for any exhaust systems! read more

AMAZING! So surprised by how prompt, how they showed me the problem before and the successful repair after. They were AMAZING how quick they repaired the problem on a Monday morning, but the most important was the customer care THEY showed to my elderly aunt...AMAZING...and so was the Bill... AMAZING! read more

Awesome place to get exhaust work done. The owner here gave out an awesome and fair price to get my entire exhaust replaced on the spot. Actually had the right exhaust system and muffler for my car model in stock. In and out in 45 minutes. Forgot to take a photo of the finished worked, but all the wielding work done was excellent and backed with warranty. Owner was friendly and answered all my questions and never tried to upsell me for unneeded work. Will definitely recommend Garcias for all exhaust/muffler work. read more

Great service, fast & efficient. Also very good prices all around. I highly recommend this shop to anyone out there !

Let me tell you - the guys at Garcia Mufflers are the absolute best. Came in to get resonator delete on my Range Rover Sport and I was in and out in 30 minutes with a new Magnaflow x-pipes. It sounds INCREDIBLE. I have been coming here for years and this is the ONLY spot I'll take my cars for exhaust work. read more

Was having a problem with disappearing radiator fluid in reservoir etc. in my 2006 Jeep Commander. Stopped in today without an appt. Cesar got me in quick and Victor diagnosed the problem being a faulty radiator and water pump. Victor replaced both in a timely fashion at a reasonable price. Victor showed me my old parts and informed me what and where everything was leaking. Long story short, everything is working great. Both Cesar and Victor are very professional and very knowledgable. Great neighborhood place and highly recommend! read more

Called in for a quote on spring install, had been using cesar for many years on many cars I've had. I don't know if I caught him on a bad day but boy was he rude. Upon answering I expressed who I was and asked how he was doing and his response was "what do you need." So I let it go and explained what I was calling about; spring install. He asked me to hold and then came back and said no we aren't doing mechanic work. Only exhaust. Apparently it changed over a weeks time. Had just been there a week before. What bothered me was being talked to the way he did after being his customer for several years and referring friends. No hard feelings on my end, went on to the next shop who didn't treat me this way. Definitely not my loss. Very disappointed with attitude. read more

Good quality service and did it for a good price fairly quickly for a resonator delete. Only thing I didn't like was the young man who was working on my car kept telling me how it's not gonna make much of a difference even though I watched videos and it did make it in the end. Then he told me the valves are gonna shake when i start it up because there's no resonator as if I wasn't aware of that like it happens on every car. I understand they want to help customers make the right choice but I'm a pretty knowledgeable car person and it was for a 2020 540 bmw not a corolla but kept downplaying it as if it is. read more

I had my performance mufflers installed and Mr. Garcia was like an artist at work, very precise. The labor and materials cost were also reasonable. I highly recommend this shop and will go back for any future exhaust work. read more

Read the reviews and pictures and knew I had to go and give them business. I brought my dodge ram with basically muffler delete being barely held on by the hangers. Asked if I wanted it welded it on or wanted something different and of course who wants stock? He asked me every step of the way how I wanted it and how it sounded as soon as it was set up. Took a few hours but because of that he threw in a shirt, keychain and a mini flashlight. Highly recommend this shop for your exhaust needs. read more

This shop has always beat any price from competitors and they show me what's wrong (rather than telling me) and always do a great job, guarantee the labor and part. Ive recommended this place to many people and they always share the same friendly professional experience. My 2001 mazda is in tip top shape along with my wife's car 2005 Hyundai. People and work you can trust. Great place. Can't express how grateful i am this place exists. Because of them i was ALMOST scammed by firestone which tried to charge me over a grand on a $300 dollar job. They tell you during inspection what HAS to be done and how much longer life does this and that have left. Truly reliable. read more

I went here to have an aftermarket cat back exhaust installed on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I drove a little further to have it installed here after reading the positive reviews and I'm glad I did. Very satisfied with the service and craftsmanship! Cesar was personable and helpful in walking me through my new exhaust. He takes his profession seriously and you can tell he is passionate about his craft. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend this shop. read more

Came here because I thought I needed a new muffler. Read some of the reviews and gave them a shot. After careful inspection of my truck they came out and said it was not the muffler, but it was rotters on the rear tires. They gave me an estimate and after 1 hour job was completed. They also give you Warranty.. will definely be coming back for truck work. read more

These guys beat an estimate from Velazquez mufflers which was awesome! The crew works fast on fixing your pipes, but the real all-star here is the front desk manager (I believe her name is Cathy). She'll keep the coffee flowing, the customers moving and even has an iPhone charger on standby. Thanks Cathy, you rock! read more

Amazing work done by everybody in the shop. Came in for a custom exhaust to be done and left with an amazing system! Highly recommend! read more

Garcia Mufflers - Exhaust was done extremely well with amazing work quality! - Auto Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We took our car for a routine checkup before our drive for the holidays. After being told we needed transmission fluid, we paid and went on our way. Not even an hour into our drive, our car broke down completely on the side of the highway. A $120 tow, a $1400 transmission and a $400 rental later, we were on the phone with Garcias trying to rectify the situation. NOTE: we had NEVER had a single problem with our transmission before taking it to Garcias. We wanted reimbursement for a new shop we trusted to fix the transmission. They told us NO WAY, but they would pick our car up from Gary, Indiana (where it broke down), and repair it at half the price (still $800 on top of the $570 we originally spent with them). We agreed after back and forth phone calls. A day later, they called us to say they WERE NOT picking the car up (they were too busy and we needed to get it fixed elsewhere now), and they'll just give us $450 (note: at this point, we had spent about $2500 between the original fee, the rental, the tow and the new transmission). Miguel and Andrea were incredibly apologetic and very kind. The owner, however, would NOT budge and was incredibly rude. We just heard back from the shop that fixed our car...Garcias put the WRONG transmission fluid in our car, causing the transmission to break down. How did he know? Honda's need to use special brand-specific transmission fluid that smells COMPLETELY different. After all was said and done we spent money here to get our car broken and spent another 2k trying to fix it and get where we needed to go. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Scheduled an appointment because I my exhaust had rusted through and you could hear my car down the street. The mechanic took my car in, put it up on the lift and show me what was going on. Within in 30 minutes, he was done and he showed me exactly what he did to fix the problem. Their customer service was excellent, and prices were more than fair. I'll be going back for sure, and would recommend Garcia's to just about anyone! read more

I drive up from Lakeview (30min with traffic) to make sure this is the only mechanic shop that ever touches my car. I don't think it's a coincidence that I rarely need anything outside of routine oil changes. During my most recent experience I had a work conflict arise during my initial scheduled appointment and I missed my appointment. I called back a few days later to reschedule and received a warm greeting from the office manager who was happy to reschedule my appointment later that same day. Excellent service, trustworthy staff, and very fair prices. I made several special requests for my oil change and the staff continued to exceed my own level of attention to detail, where does that happen anymore? Unbelievable service, price, and quality. I will continue to rely on Garcia Muffler as my sole provider for auto services in the Chicago area until I no longer reside here. Thank you to every at GM! read more

I got an estimate done and he assured me with all of the details on how we were gonna get the job done. He was fast and he did a really good job he knows what he's doing go to him for after market exhausts!!! read more

These guys are awesome. They knew exactly what was wrong with my exhaust and fixed it within 30 minutes. Price is fair. The work is outstanding. Miguel is calm and cool and communicates very well of what he sees and personally shows you what's the issue. I'd recommend them to my friends and family and we definitely come back again for any of my car needs. Don't even hesitate. There is a reason why they have 5/5 stars. read more

This place is top notch. Brought my 2014 Grand Cherokee in for some exhaust work and let me say I am more than thrilled about the work these guys did. My previous exhaust system was crushed in an accident. I had purchased new mufflers and tips to be installed not knowing the wide selection they had. Their price to fabricate what I wanted was competitive to another exhaust shop I have gotten a quote from. In the end it was the rave reviews that helped me make the choice. Caesar thanks to you and your guys for the fabulous job! Five stars all the way. read more

Absolutely great place!! Workers are very friendly & nice & know exactly what there doing...I'm very pleased with the work they did on my 1990 notch back mustangI will recommend many of my friends to come here and get their work done from Garcia mufflers read more

One of the best muffler shops in Chicago. This guy really knows what he is doing and the prices are some of the best in Chicago. Very convenient location as well. Definitely recommend this muffler shop! read more

Was recommended by my mechanic. They were super nice and they actually showed me what they fixed and replaced. The price didn't break my pockets either. read more

I have to start by saying this is the only place I will take my cars. Been going here a while, and they are great, very competatively priced for the best work and very fast turn around. I went to them the first time to fix the hack job exhaust work Velasquez did, their welds are beautiful and they reinforced everything, they went back and painted the welds to protect from rust, and to look at it and how they positioned the dual exhaust, they are dead even and center, they look stock. Best work, they also do my oil changes and I never have to worry about going back and checking if things are tight, etc. Love this place, I'll be a life long customer. read more

I brought my car here to get an oil change for my car, bought my own oil and filter from the part store. All they had to do was to change the oil and filter. They got the job done in less than 15 mins which was fantastic but one thing they didn't do was resetting the maintenance light on my dash. read more

I thought I have a muffler problem, when it was actually the heating shield. Quick service, and was not charged, a quick fix but probably most shops would have charged a diagnostic fee. read more

Excellent exhaust service done by Miguel. He fit me in even when they were busy throughout the day. Gave me estimates and work was done swiftly. Welding was top notch. read more

Great job putting a Borla cat-back system on my Subaru! The selection of products in stock was great, and I was given a chance to hear different mufflers before I made my final choice. They were quick and the install was excellent. Sounds and runs terrific! Definitely will use them going forward. read more

I took my car here several weeks ago and am now a loyal repeat customer!! I received quick service and most importantly honest feedback about the troubles with my car. They took the time to not just tell me but show me the issues with the car. I didn't feel duped in any way as some mechanics will sometimes make you feel. I highly recommend Garcia's Mufflers to anyone who needs car help. read more
