Try to keep this from getting TLDR. I guess the short story is this place did great work…read more I bought a used car years ago, it had a "performance" muffler on it. After putting up with the loud exhaust for a couple years, I was done. I went to a place that was closer to me at the time, and they put a stock muffler on it. Still had a little rumble, but told not much to do about it. Job well done, or so I thought. Few years later, I start noticing a rattle on startup. It's not bad, it goes away after warm up. I carry on. Few months ago, it gets worse, still goes away, but I think I might have a transmission issue. Friend of mine I'm telling about it said he had the same thing once and he had a broken bracket on his exhaust system. I get under and see this mess. Cracked welds, pipe separated from the muffler. Also, they didn't install a mounting support above the pipe, probably one of the reasons it broke. Well, not going back to that place. I did a little research, and Big Johns looked like the best place. Little out of my way, but I wanted to make sure this time things went better. I believe John was there when I arrived, and had another guy who worked with him. I mentioned the whole problem, plus said it was still a little loud. He suggested a slightly bigger muffler, plus he installed a bracket support where the other place hadn't, and also redid the other two supports that were in place. The new supports were obviously more heavy duty. It did the trick. Also, I noticed my car was running better and a couple of issues had gone away. Car is now running like it did before all this started, and it's the quietest it's ever been. Charged me $200 and it was well worth it. At this point, I'm pretty happy. Be aware that when I was there, they only work on one car at a time. I don't know if he utilizes the other garage bay, but they work fast. It took maybe 30 minutes or so to do the job.

A year later and I will say they stood by their warranty up to a certain point. I did have to take…read moremy Yukon back to them several times be it for transmission fluid leaks, dipstick tube loose and leaking, chattering/transmission vibrations. All were repaired at no charge although it did seem like warranty work was not there priority, every time I had to bring it back to their shop they would have it for over a week. And trying to get a hold of Daniel was nearly impossible, he's never at the shop, and when you are lucky enough to get him to answer the phone he was just promise to call you right back in 5 minutes, only 5 minutes will turn into 5 days. My final draw with this shop is when I brought it back to them because the transmission would not shift into 3rd gear. Daniel told me it sounds like the clutch drum is probably cracked and that it is a common problem with my transmission. When I asked if that is covered under warranty he said it is not because it is not a part that is replaced with a rebuild kit. Which is true most shops at best will inspect it and test the pressure at best when rebuilding. Mind you from the time I brought it back to finding this out about the drum he had the truck for 4 days and supposedly hooked up the computer and took fluid samples to tell me he thinks it's the drum, he had not dropped the transmission, in order to find out for sure if it was the drum Daniel wanted me to pay $2600 up front to drop the transmission. Which is how much I paid for him to rebuild it. When I asked Daniel what if it's not the drum and it's something under warranty I still have to pay $2600 he said we can work something out. Never before have I ever heard of having to pay upfront for a repair that may or may not be covered under warranty because the mechanic doesn't even know what part has failed. At this point I decided to take it to another shop because once I pay the money you can tell me whatever you want failed and it's not covered by the warranty and now I'm out the money. So I decided to have my truck towed to another shop that was recommended by my daughter that rebuilt her transmission 2 years ago and hasn't had issues since. They rebuilt it for less than what Daniel wanted to drop my transmission for to tell me if it was the drum or not. I told them how Daniel thinks it's the drum without even seeing it, and if it was the drum to replace it. Well it wasn't the drum, the tech took it for a test drive and said he didn't think it was a drum, he dropped the trans and found the 3rd and 4th gear clutch plates were burnt up and the drum was fine. Those clutch plates were part of the rebuild done by Kings Automotive and were covered under there warranty but obviously they did not want to drop the transmission open it back up to find out without being paid up front. Like I said they will take care of the nickel and dime repairs they can do with out dropping the trans. But if it's something internal good luck they will want the money up front at that point good luck. And if it's warranty work plan on being without your vehicle for at least a week if you're lucky. Save yourself the money and headache and go elsewhere especially if it's transmission related

Would not recommend Elfer Muffler Shop in Haltom City…read more Took our vehicle here in January to have exhaust leaks fixed and get new tips for my son's vehicle. Was told I needed new exhaust pipe but converter and muffler were still good. Was given a quote and paid the amount. They put on the wrong tips and then told me they only had 1 tip in stock and would have to order a new set. After waiting two weeks I called to see if the new tips were in and was told they forgot to order them. Then when they came in they tried to tell me I didn't pay for the tips and wanted to charge extra. They then stated they didn't charge me the right price but put them on the vehicle as quoted. Today, we take vehicle in due to hangers being broke and exhaust leak near the connection to the headers. A bolt had fallen out. They told me the hangers weren't theirs so they wanted another $80 to replace the hangers. Told them to fix the missing bolt and take my truck off the lift. I will pay more at another shop then have these guys work on my vehicle again. These guys are full of excuses and now get a bad review due to not fixing an issue they should have the first two times they had it. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Well got home and found out the exhaust still has a leak at the flange where a bolt fell out and they admitted that was on them. So now I have to fix that too.

Brought my 2010 FJ Cruiser in and they went well beyond just the work order. They got the truck dialed in, road-ready, and then took the time to walk me through exactly what to keep an eye on going forward to keep it running smooth for the long haul. That kind of follow-through is rare. Most shops just hand you the keys and an invoice. What sets them apart: * Honest communication: no upselling, no scare tactics, just straight answers * Genuine expertise: they know the FJ platform inside and out * Care that shows: they treat the truck like it's their own * Family-owned values: you feel it the moment you walk in If you own a Toyota, especially something like an FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, or Tacoma, stop shopping around. This is the shop. Nellie, Jose, and Jesus have earned my trust and my business for as long as I own this truck. They're the only ones touching it from here on out. Thank you for the outstanding work and for treating customers the way every shop should.
