Although I am not new to the area, I was in need of a good exhaust shop to do some tailpipe work on my 67 Mustang. I asked around at the auto parts stores and got a narrowed list with Best Mufflers name coming up a couple of times. I phoned and spoke with Alex and he gave me the most reasonable of the quotes over the phone from the shops that I called.I brought the car down first thing in the morning to have the work done on it and I was greeted by Eddie. Soon after the shop opened I was greeted by Alex and Mario. The entire crew there is so personable and caring in their approach to the work I requested to be done.I wanted to have tailpipes added and exhaust tips mounted through the GT exhaust valance. Although the team recommended that I do a complete system (because of the age and performance), they understood that I was on a budget and did not pressure me whatsoever.Whats more is that during our discussion of the exhaust system I wanted to do in the future (adding an H pipe, changing the mufflers and increasing the tube size to 2 1/4); they made the tailpipe section out of 2 1/4 so that it could be reused in the future!I have been working on 60s classic cars for more than 35 years and I have to say that going forward I am glad that I have friends in the exhaust business at Best Muffler! I would NOT hesitate to use Best Muffler in the future for honest service and beautiful work. The welds on the exhaust done for the team is fantastic!!!

Only muffler shop worth going to in the IE! I had a custom exhaust that I wanted and this was the only place with great reviews. My friend with the exact same setup showed his custom line to Eddie. Eddie took one pic for reference and replicated it even better than what my friend has. They got it done on NYE and I went into the new year with a brand new exhaust.I recently got a ticket for my loud exhaust (no biggie, I knew the risk). I bought a stock exhaust and brought my car back to Best Muffler. His guys welded the stock exhaust a certain way so that its easily swappable between my custom and stock.I get so many compliments on my exhaust and how clean the weld is. Cant thank these guys enough for their work!

It was a little pricey because I didnt know if have to pay for a new catalytic converter. But the guys were reality cool, helpful and fast! The did mine in less than a half an hour and I was so thankful. I think the reviews that are positive about this place are most definitely correct. I will go back to best muffler for anything related for sure.

Best Muffler had great reviews.Giving them a try, was not disappointed. A family owned business. Eddie worked hard to please. He gave me a great price u0026 very clean u0026 professional work, explaining everything about the job to me u0026 making sure I was happy with the work. Its hard to find this kind of workmanship u0026 pride. Ask for Eddie. Hes the best, forget the rest.

My exhaust was hanging looked like it was going to fall off. Took it to best muffler and got it on the rack within minutes and repaired in less than 15 minutes. Very friendly efficient and provides solid work. My only place to go for muffler or exhaust work.

Everybody from the girl at the front desk, the owner and the guy doing the work were all friendly and helpful. Thats hard to find when walking into a repair shop. My overall experience was great!! The price was very reasonable as well.

There arent many places in town that do mufflers, but this is definitely the place you want to go to for your muffler needs. They do quality work, custom jobs, motorcycle add ons, they arent afraid to get creative, and arent afraid to tell you if your odd order might be a bit off or too crazy. My particular experience involved a new muffler that was a bit larger than my original. They made it fit. And it looks great. Proper welds as well.

The owner and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the exhaust for your vehicle.I took my 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona here a few weeks ago to get my mids deleted and they were busy that day but made time to take me in.The prices are great and they truly do their best to take care of you.

I bought an aftermarket exhaust from AWE. Upon assembly, i discovered one of the exhaust pipe ends was not expanded and slotted for a proper connection. I brought it down to Best Muffler and they set me straight. I offered to pay a fee and the owner told me not to even worry about it. I didnt expect that. In addition to that, the fitment was superb. I never caught the gentlemans name, but thanks again for your service.

I can only rate this muffler shop 5/5, no less. Eddie helped me out big time replacing my cat when it failed smog, and his prices are not beatable. He had a cat shipped out that day and it was installed the next day. he has a whole crew of honest guys who are respectful and treat you right. it is a smaller shop, but they do great work and wont let you down. Go here if you want excellent prices and want an excellent finished product.

These guys were fantastic!! Told me to be there at 9am when they opened and they got me right in. Talked to me about options and actually listened to my input as well!! I felt like I was truly a part of the process. Then they went at it. Rerouted the exhaust on my sons 1971 F250 and it turned out fantastic!! At the end the price was amazing!! I will be using these folks in the future for sure!!

Old school muffler shop! I stopped by to get a couple o2 sensor bungs welded on a set of stainless steel BMW race headers from Germany and Best Muffler did an excellent job for a very reasonable price. They helped me right away and did the job on the spot so I didnt have to wait at all. I will definitely be back when I need more exhaust work. I highly recommend Best Muffler!

I needed a Catalytic Converter for my vehicle. I called them up they said bring it on down. We are busy and booked with appointments but we will get you in. I came down and true to their word they squeezed me in and I was on my way. Very good place to go. Would definitely tell people to go here for exhaust work to be done. Thank you guys!

I have taken my 2004 civic SI and my 1977 ford F-150 to Best Muffler. Hands down, I trust this shop with my vehicles. They fixed my civic’s exhaust and they did a custom manifold back system on my pickup; it sounds and fits amazing. I trust this shop, and I would highly recommend them.

The owner and his wife were very professional and answered all my questions on installing exhaust. The owner made sure he gave me options and even saved me money by offering other products and services. Best of all, they took me in before closing. I would highly recommend this shop.

These guys are some of the best at what they do. Got a muffler delete for my 2010 Volkswagen GTI and they did spectacular. Clean welds, clean exhaust, clean exhaust tips, and even helped me out by repairing one of the hangers for the resonator.The people there are very friendly and welcoming. Felt right at home while waiting for my car. Highly recommend if your looking for repairs and custom exhuast systems.

I was told of Best Muffler by a AAA driver, so I looked online at their reviews, and reassured I gave them a call. The phone was answered by the business owner Eddie, he gave me an acceptable estimate, so I drove the 20 miles to take my motorhome to them.I knew I needed new mufflers, and as Im trying to get it smog checked, I had been told I would need a catalytic converter as well. Well Eddie was really honest and affordable, he told me I didnt need the cat., as he had asked the smog check station next door, and my motorhome was ready 4 hours later, with two new mufflers and a much quieter ride, at under $200.00!! Im so glad I found out about them! Ive even recommended them to a friend of mine!

I was referred to Best Muffler, by Auto Aide. They have always given me A-1 care, but referring me to Best Muffler was by far the best thing that has happened to me in a long time! They put a catalyst converter in my car, for less than half the price of the other repair shops! They also gave me deals on other services, I needed. They ARE the best!

Best muffler shop in ALL of the inland empire. I have taken my all my cars to them and not once have they let me down. Top quality work at very affordable prices. Eddie even stayed 2 hours after closing to squeeze me in for custom exhaust work on my 350z. A++++. They also offer tig welding and stainless steal for the ultimate custom exhaust system you are looking for.

One star for customer service, and five stars for the work.I’ve known Eddie for years, he’s done lots of work on my truck and Jeep. I had something come up recently with my truck, I needed his help. I live 100 miles away, so I couldn’t just stop by. I called multiple times and left messages. I was promised he’d call back, and he never did. Very disappointing. He obviously doesn’t need my business anymore. The guy does great work, when you can get ahold of him.

Flexible and very courteous. As a walk-in, I had my muffler changed in less than 45 minutes. It is absolutely apparent that these folks dont try to rip off their customers. Very satisfied. If the need arises, Im definitely going back to Best Mufflers.

Review №34

Took my car in to swap stock exhaust with a high quality cat back exhaust. Job was done quickly which was good however at the cost of quality. After the job on my way home there was a loud viabration/drone which i figured was from the exhaust even though it advertised a drone free experience. It got progressively worse so I looked under my car and 3 bolts for the crossmember were hanging on by a few threads while 1 was missing altogether. I tightened them and 90% of the drone was gone. Fast forward a few weeks during an at home oil change I notice water coming from one of the connection clamps when warming up the car indicating a leak in the exhaust (not severe enough to cause a check engine light though). Turns out all 4 clamps were not torqued to spec but pretty loose. After tightening all clamps to spec there is now no drone as advertised from the cat back manufacturer.Message to business: please double check work before giving the car back to the customer.Giving two stars because they were able to remove a stripped nut preventing the swap to be a relatively simple diy project.Tl;dr: quick service but poor quality. most nuts and bolts were loose causing product to not function completely as advertised.Edit: would like to add that prices were reasonable

I went to Best Mufflers and got a great deal on having my new mufflers put on my 1991 Corvette. Eddie was very Professional and kind. He asked for my approval on all the steps of hanging my new muffler. The mufflers sound great and look even better. I am so happy with the job that I had to tell the world.One Happy CustomerTim Mangold

If I could give this place a 0 star I would!! I took my Mustang in here and had flow masters put on it. I had Maga a flows on there but had a hole so I paid this shop 400 bucks to put these on for me all I asked is that they save my old mufflers for me. It took them twice as long as they originally told me but I didn’t mind I just wanted it done right. So I got a ride home came back the next day as they requested got there my car still wasn’t ready. I waited their for a couple hours and finally said to them hey I’m going to be late to work so they started working on my vehicle. After they finally finished I asked where my old mufflers are and I was told the scrap guy picked them up. They said they get them all the time they will give me another set. I have stopped by the shop 2 times had my bf stop once and they said they will call. It has been at least 6 months now and still nothing. Those mufflers came off my car I paid for them as well as 400 for the new mufflers I said I wanted them before my car even went up on the rack. As I see it that is very poor customer service. I would not take my car to this place.

Review №45

Best Muffler took my 04 Mustang GT and installed two Pypes M80 mufflers Id purchased from American Muscle in a little more than an hour, creating that modern Mustang growl Ive been searching for. Another shop, well known in Hemet, tried to bait and switch me, saying it couldnt be done and Id need to buy far more expensive mufflers and tips from them! Wrong! Eddie and his staff not only did the job, they did it for far less and probably did a much better job including better tips for far less cash our of pocket! I was told by the other shop, (quite rudely I might add), to Next time, let the professionals handle it after they pop pooed my Pypes mufflers. So, I followed their advice. I took my Mustang to Best Muffler!!! My car sounds awesome!
