Everytime I go here I leave upset or annoyed. The workers I deal with always seem to be the bad apples. And the other employees have to fix it for them. read more

The wait was longer than I expected bc I was second in the door when they opened at 8. I was simply getting pads and rotors for my wife's suv. Outside of that I have no complaints. Mike was friendly and offered a lot of advice with his knowledge of cars. The prices are a lot less than most shops in Indianapolis and the quality is A1. Also a young lady that appeared to be in her twenties came in for a minor muffler repair and I overheard the mechanic say I can repair that for $20!!!!! That blew me away that was very honest and trustworthy. He could've charged her $300 for something that he fixed in 15-20 minutes. Thanks again for a job well done!!!!! read more

SCUMBAGS! They said it would take 90 minutes and they wanted to charge me $496 to repair a one inch hole in my exhaust. I got it done in 30 minutes for 75 bucks! I'll never recommend these SCUMBAGS to anyone as long as they exist. Do yourself a gigantic favor and at least get a second opinion. read more

Excellent experience! I had a dual exhaust with Flowmaster installed on my daughters s10. I dropped it off around 9am with no appointment (they are first come, first serve) on a Saturday. I expected them to have it all day, they were very busy. I got a call around 10am running through exactly how I wanted the exhaust done. The guy who called was polite and respectfully recommended that they should run the exhaust tips a little differently than I asked for. He explained why and it made total sense. It was done and ready to go by noon. I crawled under and the workmanship looks great. Thanks guys! read more

Ralph's Muffler & Brake Shops - Fresh dual exhaust - Auto Repair Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My grandbaby was life flighted here to Indy from South Bend. Half way between home and Indy my car started to make a noise which I assumed was my brakes grinding. I pushed through and made it the rest of the way here. I knew there was no way I would make it back home once we were released. I started to look for a local shop close to the hospital and stumbled across Ralph's. I called explained my situation and the noise I was hearing. Was told to bring in the car and let them look at it. I took my car and was told they probably wouldn't be able to do it that day so I left the car expecting I wouldn't hear back until the next day. I got a call that evening and was told it wasn't the brakes and that it was most likely my ball joint or bearings, but that it was too late and they would take a better look at it first thing in the am. I received a call shortly after they opened telling me that it was neither and my thermo cover had come loose and was rubbing on my driveshaft. They tightened it and my car was good as new!! No charge!! Being a woman hundreds miles from home and desperate I could have been badly taken advantage of!! But these gentlemen took care of the issue honestly!! I would recommend them a hundred times over!! Thanks guys!! read more

Brought my car to the Keystone location on Friday. Was told they couldn't get to my car until Monday. I didn't hear from them on Monday. Called on Tuesday, he admitted he forgot about my car and was promised they would get to my car on Wednesday. Called today... Same guy... Same story... He forgot. Totally disappointed read more

When I got there five minutes after they opened there were a lot of vehicles ahead of me. It took about 30-35 minutes for them to get to my vehicle and I thought that was great considering. I told them I thought it was possibly a hole in my muffler because the faster I drove the louder it got. They showed me it wasn't my muffler but probably my rear hub assembly. They said they didn't have it in stock because it was probably still under warranty. They told me how much they would charge to do it but I should check the dealership to see how much they would charge and I could choose between the two. My car part was still under warranty and only cost me $150 for the deductible. So this was a great quote from Ralph's friendly staff. Thanks guy's. read more

Great serivre and very good prices. They even fixed a few things without charging me.

They'll keep your car for over 2 months. Won't call you to even give you an update on how it's going or when it'll be done. Are rude and dodgy when you ask them questions and I just feel like that's not the way to run a business. read more

All were friendly, exhaust work was done within the hour quoted, the cost was fair and deserved as Randy did an excellent job!

Been going to this place for years. Went there for a oil change and after the weasel put my car up on the hydraulic lift he decided my catalytic converter needed to be changed. He was so nervous he kept smoking to calm himself down. My vehicle was over 10 years old so I thought maybe it needed changing. The slicker did NOT change my oil but took my catalytic converter out to go sell it. Most of the other people are honest but this one bad prick definitely left an awful taste in my mouth. I will never go back to Ralph Muffler and if I should this filth will never work on my vehicle. He is a CROOK! Matter of fact I will report him. read more

Took my car there to get my exhaust put on. They over charged me by a lot. $600 in labor for exhaust... Lol anyways they did a terrible job. My exhaust was uneven. One of my mufflers was touching and rattling plus they didn't weld a piece that was supposed to be welded. Instead they just threw a clamp on there and now its leaking along with my car rattling because they had my exhaust too high. Took my car back to have them fix it but they didn't fix anything. They didn't even touch my car actually. read more

I usually don't write reviews but decided to do so today. We have been going to this Ralph's Muffler for a few years now and they have always done us right. The men at Ralph's Muffler are hardworking, honest people who get the work done and for a reasonable price. I trust the quality of work that they do because all the work that they have done for me over the years has been satisfactory. I can't say enough about the service they provide. They are knowledgeable when it comes to working on older vehicles like my T100. I am grateful that these men are working during this cold weather and during this time of uncertainty. Thank you read more

Disclaimer: I can't comment on the quality of work they do because I left before any happened. I came in early on a weekday to get my brakes worked on. I waited around for an hour and during that time four different people had asked me what I was there for. I told the first person and he jotted it down on an old notebook. And after an hour passed of me sitting there watching 3-4 workers sit in the garage and smoke and ignore me, I just left. It's very disorganized. I went to another shop where there was a front desk clerk who took my car and information right away - that's how it should be. read more

If I could give them zero stars, I would. Absolutely the worst attitude, poor communication, and didn't want to fix my vehicle because I was asking too many questions. I was asked why don't I fix it myself. Women, avoid like the plague. read more

A refreshingly easy experience. Went for an oil change. Called around to a couple of different places and Ralph's had the best price! No appointments but I went in the morning around when they first open and they got me in right away. Service was fast and the best part was they didn't try to push me for any extra services. Staff were really friendly. Very kindly they even gave me a discount at the end. read more

The guys at Edwards sent me over to Ralph's for an issue they don't normally deal with. I thought I had to get a whole new catalytic system, hell they oct have told me I need one and I wood have done it. Instead they said I just needed a new resonator, $150 vs $1,500. I was in and out in 45 min. The Service guy was great and took goo care of me. I highly reckoned the 16th street Ralphs. read more

I've been to two Ralph's and both shops were great to me. I don't know a lot about cars but I do know enough to know if I'm being scammed. Ralph's is awesome and fair and I recommend them to all my friends. read more

First time coming to this shop (my husband's recommendation). I sat and waited patiently for my turn, but every time someone walked in and stood at the counter, they were serviced before me (not a good system). Once I spoke up, Randy waited on me and immediately took care of my car. I needed a new catalytic converter, and the pipe and muffler needed to be re-attached. Randy did an EXCELLENT JOB and the price was lower than I expected. Randy's work deserves a 5STAR, but the walk-in system needs improvement. A simple "Who's next?" is a good start. read more

Firestone quoted my 2005 Vibe for new brakes, rotors, 'brake service', serpentine belt for over $650. As ridiculous as this may sound, they also quoted $49 of labor to change a $10 headlight bulb. Needless to say, I got a second and third opinion from local businesses - both easily beating Firestone. Ralph's on 16th did all of the work mentioned above on a Saturday morning for $288. The staff at Ralph's were friendly and willing to work with the customer. Ralph's will have my continued business (hopefully won't be needing it) and my recommendation to friends and family. Support Chris from your local business, not Bob from the Downtown Firestone. read more

Just the place I needed. My regular shop suggested I replace much of my exhaust system with an aftermarket one for $1400. I had just paid for a bunch of other needed repairs and decided to try a muffler shop. Ralph's fit the bill. Turns out I simply needed a couple of brackets and a new converter. Total cost $520. Most important thing was that my shop was going to replace my existing system with a steel one, Ralph's pointed out that that the one I have is stainless, and that only the hangers rust. Gave me a 24 month warranty on everything. In and out in under 1.5 hours. Knowledgeable and pleasant staff. Just don't expect a Latte and beignet! Highly recommended for exhaust system repairs! read more

I've always have had my brakework and exhaust work done here. Always a great bargain! They even installed an aftermarket catback exhaust and custom front shocks on my truck,even when I didn't purchase their in-stock parts from them. Like I said,I've always have had any work done here ever since they first opened up and I'll continue to do so!!! read more

Have used their repair services twice (2 different vehicles) and both times I was very satisfied. I now have a new issue and wouldn't consider going anywhere else to have it checked out. read more

Great service, great price, told me what was necessary and didn't try to sell me a bunch of unnecessary services

These guys were great !! Not a great price but that is what it is. I like the fact that they brought me out to the bay, explained the work and did a very good job. The one caveat I have is that they said it would be about an hour and it was more like two and a half hours....oh well. read more

These guys are friendly and easy to talk to. You'll not get the corporate treatment from them which is a bonus in my opinion. It's first come first serve, so if you're an impatient sort make sure you're there just before they open. read more

Under NO circumstances would I ever suggest to someone that they should have ANY work done here. In one word NEGLIGENT. As other people have stated they could have been killed due to oversights and things not done properly on a vehicle. I don't imagine any of these men have much integrity...I mean children ride in cars. Which shouldn't matter, putting someone's life at risk whether intentionally done by performing mediocre repairs or unintentionally because they lack proper knowledge/skills is rather irrelevant. Not only did I have my catalytic converter, exhaust, and muffler "replaced" but had to go back not even a year later for them to replace it. Then about 1.5 years later when I went to the same mechanic my family has gone to for 15 years and is backed by the BBB they stated that those repairs were NOT made and only the muffler was replaced. I took it it get a second, and even a third opinion, and all mechanics unanimously agreed I was bait it switched..which is ironic because they have signs all throughout the place alerting you that many other places do this. Around the same time I had a my spare tire put on and these fools didn't tighten the lug nuts properly. I drive a truck, and was on the highway when 4/5 wheel studs broke.LUCKILY the moment I heard a noise I pulled over. had I not my truck would have certainly flipped. When speaking to Kevin the owner he was rude and hung up so certain they do quality work. If that is so, then WHY are there NUMEROUS reviews stating THE EXACT issue I experienced? not replacing things they said they did, negligent work, oversights, etc. read more

This is a great shop and they will always give you a reasonable price. I have been there with both of my vehicles never had one problem. Everyone is easy to talk to and they are pretty quick! 5/5 read more

Came by with a muffler and a broken bracket causing it to hang low. They welded it and didn't charge a penny. Kudos.

I've used Ralph's 3 times now over a 6 years span and they have always been fair with the price and very helpful. Even when busy they always seem to get my car in and fixed In a timely manner. read more

I took my fiancé's car here for an oil change. Good service, fair price, friendly people. I would absolutely go here again.

Not sure if the previous reviews are employees or what but this shop is a joke. I installed new headers, magnaflow cat back myself ($1300) an needed a new y pipe made. I dropped off the truck an specifically said I wanted the y pipe made an I wanted any an all exhuast leaks to be taken care off. I went to pick the truck up and instantly heard a bad exhuast leak. I would of made them fix if then but my ride already dropped me off an I knew she does not answer her phone while driving, that an the fact I needed the truck to be able to goto work that week. I notice during the winter a noise under my feet. I looked under truck an I seen the front 4 wheel drive shaft was hitting the new y pipe. They had made the y pipe 2 low an did not clear the shaft moving up an down. So I go to try to fix the leak an took the y pipe off. I instantly noticed the flange had a patruding groove where the pipe is connected together inside. This would instantly cuase a leak an any sane person would know this. I tried sanding it down with no luck. I have been looking at pipe in auto stores an they do not have this groove. I asked around an was told it's a cheaper pipe used to run exhuast but is not used for flange joints for obvious reasons. So after all this I now have to take it to another shop an have it done all over again the correct way. All of this crappie workmanship on a exhuast system that I already spent $1200 on. If I could I would give 0 stars read more

Dropped off the car. Thought Randy was going to take good care of us. Danny called a few hours later and said the check engine light was not on and it was running fine. The problem went away. I was relieved. Wife went to pick it up the next morning and the light was on and it was still running rough. Extremely disappointing experience. Can't possibly recommend them one bit. read more

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Muffler and tailpipe changed in a timely manner for a reasonable price! Highly recommends!!!!!
