I went in to get my exhaust changed out for a new cat back Magnaflow system, and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
I told him right away that I was on a time crunch, and that if he couldn't get it done in the amount of time I had I could come back later, and they told me it wouldn't be a problem and got right to work. I showed the guy a video I found of the sound I wanted (European - deep and sporty bmw/vw), and he said he knew exactly what to do to achieve that sound for me.
After the work was done and they turned that key, I got all giggly inside (and still am haha!) - it sounds amazing and is exactly what I asked for.
Some of the Pros:
- Quick installation
- The guys were friendly and seemed happy to be working there (happy employee's are always a good sign)
- Price was pretty much on par with most other shops in the area, maybe a little more, but Pro Exhaust got it done quicker.
- Got to watch the installation in progress, which you don't normally get to do
Some of the Cons:
- Shop guys were inundated with calls and visitors (some for business, others not), and so they were easily moved from working to not working. I hate to call this a con, because most shops that I've been to don't allow you to watch, and if I hadn't been able to watch I wouldn't have seen any of this really anyways. I know when I'm at work I get visitor's and get distracted pretty easily as well, and like me, they get the job done and done right in the same time frame, so it isn't like they were slacking and the service was degraded from there. Just something I wanted to point out to those who get easily irritated by that type of work behavior, so that you are amply prepared when you go. This is by no means a way to tell anyone not to go to this shop though, I just hate negative reviews for reasons that don't really play a part on the overall quality just because they hated one piece to the puzzle.
- Took them a while to get going on my car, just to get it up on the lift, but once they got it up there all was well.
Con's were really pretty minor, and didn't affect the cost or the quality of the work. The only thing they affected was how long I was there, which wasn't too big a deal because in the end, it was well worth the wait (not to mention it would have been double that time just about anywhere else).
I've read all the reviews for this place, even the filtered, and I would not recommend staying away from this place as Naveed has suggested. Shit will happen no matter where you go. This shop has been in business for more than 13 years, and if they were as horrible as Naveed said, they wouldn't have been in business that long.
