If you need muffler or exhaust work, I HIGHLY recommend Ritzman Muffler on Cleveland Massillon Rd. The owner is extremely nice, honest, and helpful. He took the time to evaluate my car AND show me what needed to be done. He went above and beyond to help me find the parts I needed. I needed gaskets for my exhaust. I left the shop after the diagnostic in search of the parts. Took the parts back the same day and my car was on the rack within 30 mins. The repair took about another 30 mins. Pricing? REASONABLE and AFFORDABLE! I had to ask him twice for the price bc I couldn't believe it. Car came off the rack acting brand new. They have earned a lifetime customer. Word of mouth is so important, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Check them out! read more

Ritzman Muffler - Gaskets needed replaced - Auto Repair Near Me - Barberton, Ohio

Dealer wanted to replace muffler and tailpipe for nearly $1,500. Ritzman cut the rusted coupler, welded a new sleeve for $60!!

Very quick service, transparent about what was wrong, and seriously was shocked when they quoted me such a fair price

This is my second time here and I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars. Quality of service is great. Employees are friendly and will show you exactly what's wrong after they have your car lifted. Repair times are super quick and prices are bar none. This is definitely the place to go for any type of exhaust issues. read more

First let me say the boys aren't much for conversation but that's because they're trying to get your job done! These guys have a solid, clean shop! I had an exhaust leak. They had me pull in right away, diagnosed the issue, welded it up, and had me out the door in under 15 minutes start to finish! In a five star system they are 10 out of 10 awesome! read more

First of all I love the honesty of the owner. He gave me a fast and thorough evaluation when I arrived. The pricing was definitely fair. He got me in and out extremely fast as well. I'd definitely would recommend this business. read more

They did a great job fixing my exhaust leak fair price really fast people are courteous and knowledgeable

So my sister was referred to this place by the local Toyota dealer after finding out she possibly needed a new catalytic converter due to a rattle. The dealer est. was 2K. So they suggested shopping aftermarket and this place was popular. After they checked her truck out for the noise it was found to be a simple exhaust shield next to catalytic converter and not the actual converter. They tightened it. And gave her back the truck " no charge". That's amazing! They could have charged her 1K then tightened rattling shield and she wouldn't have know the difference but that's not how they operate here. Honest Shop. That's 5 stars where I come from. read more

I am so grateful to have Ritzman close to me! I have an old car, and it has old car problems--the guys at Ritzman have been so patient with it. They do great, timely and inexpensive work. Additionally, as a young woman, it can be extra tricky to navigate mechanic shops but here they are respectful and transparent. They include you in the repair so you know exactly what you are getting done and how your car should be working. They seemed too good to be true, but they are true! read more

It's not often that people jump on Yelp to write good reviews of auto repair shops. I dropped off my car for muffler work probably 20 minutes before close for the day, with my wife on the way to pick me up, fully expecting to pick it up in a day or two. With no wait at all, the guys had me pull the car into the garage, and lifted it up. They told me it should be ready in a few minutes, as they just needed to replace a clamp, and just as they stated it was ready in literally just a few minutes. When I went to pay for the repairs, they told me "don't worry about it, just remember us next time you need muffler work." I couldn't believe it! These guys are great and customer service is top notch. Saved their number in my phone for that next time I run into muffler issues. Highly recommend! read more

These guys are amazing. They fix what needs fixed and they get it done asap. On top of the small town (as it should be) honesty, the labor still isn't even as expensive as they could charge on an hourly level. They are FAST. I will tell anyone with exhaust problems it is worth an hour drive. I wish they owned a garage, I'd bring them my business on everything... but I will always for exhaust and mufflers read more

I will not take a vehicle anywhere else for exhaust issues. Kind, professional and the price is always right.

This place is awesome. Worth its weight in gold. Went to fix a screw-up (no pun intended) - was drilling out a seized license plate bolt when the drill bit broke. Yikes! Figured I'd drive down the road to the muffler shop...worst they might say is no. Better than me sitting there all day with a dremel bit. Not this place! "Give me 5 minutes" is their motto, I swear. Amazing people, very generous prices, and HONEST. Can't say that about most shops. A few minutes later with an air chisel, the license plate is in and they even bolted it in for me. I've taken a few of my cars here for muffler repairs, but never for a seized bolt repair! Definitely patronize this shop - it's the best around by far. read more

Very friendly and informative. Great customer service and was able to get me in quickly. I recommend this place if you need muffler work done! read more

I've had work done here on multiple cars throughout the years. The most reasonable prices, the highest quality work. No nonsense. Hardly any waiting. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Fair prices. Quick service. No appointment needed. First come first serve. Very friendly and nice.

I am actually writing this from Denver, sad that Ritzman Muffler is not out here. I recently moved from the Akron, OH area. Have taken both of my cars here. Was quoted about $200 less here than my other relatively inexpensive mechanic! In fact on one occasion I brought my '99 Honda Civic in and they welded it, I asked them how much it would cost and they said...zero! This is a true story! My other mechanic quoted $200! They said, there were no new parts so no need to charge, brilliant marketing plan. I think the most I have waited when here is about 15 minutes total. I would drive an hour to go these guys if they were out here! read more

Excellent work and price. If you need exhaust repair go nowhere else. Great fees and results.

Great service. Awesome prices. You will not be disappointed. They don't try to sell you shit you don't need like the national chains. Really nice people. I've used them four times in the last five years (3 different cars) and have been satisfied each time. read more

This place is the best! Go nowhere else for muffler repairs. Great people. Great work.

This place is great!! Was recommended to me and I certainly past the torch!! I was raised in a muscle car body shop, so my opinion is rather picky ... This place is 10 stars for everyday Exhust or for your custom toys!! read more

My wife's car suddenly got really loud, as in "time for a new muffler". I've been ripped off by Muffler chains before, so I was very concerned about finding a service provider who would treat me fairly. I contacted my mechanic and asked for his recommendation. He told me he sends his customers to Ritzmans. I took my wife's car, expecting to have to leave it for a day. They put it up on the lift, and within 90 seconds, they started fixing the issue. It turned out to be a loose weld, which they fixed within 10 minutes. I asked for the charge and they said, "just come see us when you need a new muffler". Needless to say they can count on that. My recommendation? If you need exhaust repair work, and are looking for someone to treat you fairly and honestly, you can't go any better than Ritzman's. They are the best. read more

Recommended by a friend. His praise was well deserved. The service was efficient, friendly and honest. Pricing is affordable and no one tried talking me into paying for something that I didn't need. All of the employees were helpful and pleasant. read more

Been taking my cars here for years. Price is always fair and they don't fix or replace things that are not broken. In and out quickly.

I am SO happy I took my car here! My car started making a loud noise, and I took it to Sears Auto for an estimate...in the past, I've liked them. They told me my flex pipe had a hole it in and gave me an estimate for $471 to get a new flex pipe and catalytic converter installed. I did not have the money to spare on this, so I took it to Ritzman, and they told me they could cut out the flex pipe and replace it for $100. It took about 20 minutes and I was on my way without spending $371 extra. I was SO thrilled that they saved me so much money. They just earned all my future business, even though they're about 25 minutes from where I live. AMAZING. Don't settle for high estimates- take your car to Ritzman! read more

Took my aunts car in. Amazing service and pricing! I was in and out in under 15 minutes with a new lifetime warranty muffler!

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon as my muffler suddenly became very loud. They checked it immediately and welded a loose plate back on. Manager said, "No charge. Come back and see us when you need a new muffler." Wow! Dont see that kind of honest and generous service like that anymore! read more
