I am extremely happy with the work and service they did on my car adding the second pipe. We negotiated a price in the beginning, but after seeing how careful and inspecting they were with the appliances and fabrications, I decided to go with the price which Bob initially thought of. Thanks so much again! I highly recommend this place for any muffler and exhaust work!! read more

Catalytic converter was stolen and Bob did a great job getting me back on the road. Would recommend to anyone else in a similar situation.

Just went in with my 2005 Corvette to get a rattle fixed. The shop was busy but Bob was eager to help. Got my car on the lift and found the rattle right away. They fabricated a piece that would fix the problem. He had it done in under 15 minutes. His nephew welded it and out the door I went. Places like this don't exist in this modern world we live in today. It's all about money and time. This place gave you a feeling of going to an old friends house to check out your car. Bob also found a missing motor mount bolt. He looked around the shop and was able to find one to replace it. Free of charge. I wish all places had the attention to detail and great customer service that Quick-way Muffler Service has. Thanks Bob for making the difference and standing out above the rest! I highly recommend this shop! read more

Lately, thugs stole my cat converter off my Toyota. Bob and his friends helped me replace the converter and now my car no longer sound like 1000 tanks having diarrhea. The job was done fast and there is a supermarket and center around the corner to walk around and relax while we waited. Bob is awesome and this shops works on beautiful vintage cars, we talked about Jesus and it was a pleasant experience Thank you ! read more

One of the best muffler shops I know. Reasonable prices and service! Worth the wait especially if you drive a classic car or just getting an estimate. Same owners 40 plus years! Thanks again! read more

Phenomenal old school service, accountability, attention to detail, and kindness. Daniel greated me in a friendly professional manner. Bob (Daniel's Uncle) arrived later, diagnosed the problem, offered a solution to replace the catalytic converter and repair the resonator all at a reasonable price. He even insisted on speaking to my regular mechanic to review the cars prior service history and be sure he had a complete picture. Amazing. This type of service is quite rare these days. Would absolutely unreservedly recommend. read more

Great jobs are done here. I was referred to these guys from another car guy friend. Brought my car in for a quote and to talk about what I wanted to potentially have done. Both gentlemen were extremely knowledgeable. Watched me through what my options were and what the outcome of each option would be. The price was very competitive and they had to work done within a half hour. (rear muffler delete) Would highly recommend. read more

Bob and Daniel were awesome, walked me through everything they would do. They didnt try to sell me any service I didnt need. My exhaust sounds awesome and it means even more that it was done by two honest hard working guys. Cant recommend this place enough! Will be coming back for my next project! read more

I can't say enough good things about Kwik-Way. I stopped in for an estimate today and was so glad I did. Bob is a great guy (his nephew too but I don't remember his name.) After looking at my car he explained the situation well and what my options were. His pricing was fair so I ended up getting the work done on the spot. Bob gave me a reasonable/cost saving solution to my problem (loud muffler). I am very happy with the results. They've been in business since 1965 and I can see why. read more

One of the true professional exhaust shops in the Valley, when you need honest assesment and skills, these guys have it all.

I came in with a crack in my Cat on my 01 CRV. They threw it up on the lift and fixed the crack in less than 5 mins and didn't even charge me. I know its a temp fix, but I'll absolutely be returning to get my exhaust replaced when its time. read more

I had just purchased a classic 1980 Fiat and on the way home the exhaust pipe sheared off! Brought it to Kwik-Way based on colleague recommendations. They immediately got it on a lift and had it welded back together in just a few minutes. Amazing service and definitely recommended. read more

Shout out to Daniel for being easy-going to talk to. I'd also like to thank the workers for charging an honest price and they sure can get the job done. They helped welded my exhaust when it was just being held on by zip ties on the way there. BTW it says they close at 5 online when they normally close at 4. read more

Bob is the kindest, most generous and professional mechanic I have ever met. My car didn't pass its smog check due to a small crack in the manifold. I called 6 different muffler places - some refused to give a quote sight unseen, another quoted me $280, others said they wouldn't work on it unless I removed the manifold myself. Then I got on the phone with Bob. He was kind, friendly and willing to help, saying it didn't sound like a lot of work and that he would likely do it free of charge, and if it was more involved, he wouldn't charge more than $50. When I arrived, he and his nephew Daniel immediately had a look and welded the crack in a few minutes, refusing to accept any payment from me. If that weren't enough, it got more interesting. I mentioned having taken an art oriented welding class and he started sharing beautiful figurines he had created out of railroad pieces, horseshoes, and the like. Not only is Bob a mechanic, he's also an amazing artist! He shared that the business had belonged to his father and that he has been there for 48 years, and the family run feel is obviously still very much at the heart of what he does. He showed me a shelf of figurines above the office window and took down a welded tiny motorcycle. It was so beautifully made I immediately wanted to buy one for my boyfriend, who I knew would love it. It turns out that it was made by his late cousin. I said I would want to buy one of them and he then proceeded to gift it to me, saying he felt really good about doing that. What started out as a slightly annoying chore of fixing a crack in my car turned into a deeply meaningful and inspiring exchange. Bob not only fixed my car, but reminded me of how much power each of us has to be kind and generous. As an artist myself, an added angle was appreciating and honoring the legacy of an artist who has passed away. Simply amazing. It really made my day. Don't hesitate to work with Bob. You won't regret it! read more

Bob and crew are outstanding! I actually was recommended Kwik-Way by my guys over at Griffin's (another place I would highly recommend). Those guys don't do exhaust work, so they told me to go see Bob at Kwik-Way. Boy were they right. Bob took the time to discuss what I was trying to accomplish with a custom exhaust I wanted to have fabricated. We walked through options, pipe diameter, welds vs clamps, stainless vs aluminized...the whole thing. And once the fabrication was done, he broke a few welds and re-did them because the dual tips weren't exactly the same length (like 5mm difference). I couldn't see it, but it wasn't perfect, so he re-did it...amazing. Bob quotes the job (not the time), has an eye for detail, and he's far more concerned with customer satisfaction than billable hours. In short, Bob (and his team) are good people, running a great shop. They actually charge less than many other shops...while providing a level of service I rarely come across. I will pay for your mods if Bob does a less-than-satisfactory job with your next exhaust build. Six Stars. read more

Fantastic service! Needed to have the stock exhaust on my car welded back together, stopped by after work on a Tuesday. They had my Mustang on a rack and the exhaust sleeved and welded up in about 20 minutes! The work was perfect! If you're chill, they're chill and super easy to work with. read more

I don't usually leave reviews on Yelp unless I really recommend the place. If you need any exhaust work done, Bob is your guy! Called in this morning and spoke with Bob to get pricing on doing a catback exhaust swap from factory to a Revel Touring Medallion exhaust. He was super friendly and gave the best rate out of all the other shops I contacted throughout the day. I called him in the afternoon to see if I could set up a time/day to come in (thinking I would need to wait a few days) but he was able to accommodate what worked for my schedule and I was able to bring it in on the same afternoon! After arriving, it was no less than a few minutes before my car was up on the lift and getting worked on. Less than 30 minutes after the car went up on the lift, he was already done with the swap and my car was ready to come off the lift. Don't bother looking anywhere else if you need any exhaust or muffler work done! read more

Came in to get an exhaust cut and shortened. Guy working was super nice, gave me a quick estimate and scheduled me an appointment right away for their next availability all within 5 minutes. When I came in he had me in and out under 30 minutes. read more

Very bad customer service. I came in very early to see if I can get my car done. I was seen but not acknowledged by anyone there. I then went to the window and spoke to someone and still wasn't acknowledged. I finally got someone to help and was told they were busy but only seen on car on the lift with 2 lifts open, I waited around 30min to get my vehicle on the car and they lifted my vehicle did what they had to and went my way. This honestly may not be big but for me customer service is key with me wanting to return in the future. I won't be back that's for sure after not being seeing as a priority or new customer. read more

Catalytic converter stolen? No comprehension insurance to pay for an original equipment catalytic converter (OE Cat)? See Bob Graves at Kwik-Way Muffler Service for a CA compliant after-market Cat. He'll give you a great price and quick service. Before I found Kwik-Way, I was told there were no after-market Cat's available for my 2005 Toyota Camry, and was quoted $3,474 for an original equipment (OE) Cat. Not only did Bob locate the right after-market Cat. for my car, he installed it the same day for under $1000. Bob has been in business since 1965 and is a wealth of knowledge. I'm lucky to have found him. read more

Just had two new mufflers installed onto my 2016 Explorer and I was blown away by his knowledge, speed and quality of work. Bob, the owner was super friendly from answering the phone all the way through to the end! His pricing was the best compared to other shops that I contacted around to install the mufflers as well. If you're looking for someone that does quality work and for reasonable prices I think you'd ought to give Bob and his shop a shot! read more

I have a Porsche with an aftermarket exhaust. Either due to manufacturing defects or incorrect installation it was hitting my axle. I thought I was going to have to replace it but a friend suggested I take it to a muffler shop. I called Kwik Way and spoke with Bob. He couldn't have been more accommodating. Told me to bring it in and he look at it. I showed up an hour later and Bob had me drive it in immediately. He saw the issue and we discussed solutions. The net was a agreed to have hit heat the pipe and move it away from the axle. 15 minutes later job completed. Turned what was looking to be an expensive problem into a rapid solution. Car is fine now and I couldn't be happier. When he finished I asked Bob what I owed him. He told me nothing. Said he liked me and it made him feel good to do it. Certainly made me feel good both dealing with Bob and getting this annoying problem resolved. Thanks Bob!! You are the best! read more

The reviews are 1000% accurate. As a girl I feel like car folx are either extremely helpful or want to take my money, BOB-is a genuinely amazing person. I had been told by multiple mechanics different things were wrong with my car. I made a call, came in 30 mins later, and not only did I leave not having to spend the 2k+ another person quoted me but Bob took his time to teach me about my car and what I should keep an eye out for so I could have confidence in my knowledge of cars (and didn't charge me). He and his team are fantastic and I will only be coming back here for my car needs! read more

I called about a check engine light that was lit on a 2010 Honda. The code that was read indicated that the catalytic converter was going bad. I spoke to the gentleman on the phone and I explained that this was my mother-in-law's car and that it was not driven very much. He suggested that I take the car for a 30 mile drive and he guaranteed that the light would go out. AND IT DID !!! So thank you very much Kwik-Way for being an honest and helpful business. If it were not for you, my mother-in-law would have spent +/_ $1500 for a repair on an old vehicle that was not needed. Thank you for your help and honesty. read more

Great service and super affordable!! I called around to a couple places and Kwik-Way Muffler had the best price and the fastest service. They were so friendly and helpful. It can be intimidating as a woman to walk into any car service but they were nice, informative, and I felt confident in their work. I def recommend!! read more

These guys are great. I was referred here from SmogMan Test and Auto Repair Man(another solid business for smog needs) to repair a small crack in the Down pipe and the gasket connecting to the exhaust mani. These guys, and the owner Bob, were very approachable and wanted to help me out. They knew my car was older so finding the gasket was a bit harder and would take time so they offered to take mine off, match it with one they had or to fabricate it so I didn't have to wait days and could get my smog. Talk about Johnny-on-the-spot. In the end they did me justice and were super reasonable on the price, less than what 2 other places quoted me over the phone Would recommend this place to my friends or family. read more

Kwik-Way's (KW) customer service drove me to write my first Yelp review. The stellar 5-star rating for this business lives up to the hype. From my experience, here's why: 1) KW is considerate: It was a busy day when I brought my car in to be serviced. Bob asked me if I had time and wouldn't mind coming back after an hour. He did not underestimate the wait time and was ready when I came back. Once my car was done, Bob continued to apologize for the wait (which wasn't that long IMO) and thanked me for my patience. 2) KW is honest: Bob requested that I should be there when they took a look under my car. He wanted to explain the issue and ensure I understood what/why something needed to be fixed. 3) KW is generous: I brought my car in because my exhaust was suddenly 10 times louder than usual. Turns outs someone cut through the steel but was unsuccessful in stealing the catalytic converter. Bob sealed the cut for free and was unwilling to accept payment for it since it was a quick fix. I was wowed by their kindness. I'll definitely be coming back to Kwik-Way for future car services. read more
