Muffler & Exhaust Repair in Austin, TX
Searching for a muffler shop in Austin that won't quote a full exhaust system when a gasket and a clamp would fix it? Our shop at 8300 N. Lamar Blvd handles mufflers, resonators, pipes, hangers, and catalytic converter problems for every make and model. You see the failed part on the lift before we quote anything — and the quote is in writing before any work begins.
Why drivers choose us
Catalytic converter theft is a real Austin problem — trucks, vans, and hybrids parked outside lose converters to a battery saw in under two minutes. We repair the cut pipe, install a converter that meets emissions requirements for your vehicle, and photograph the damage for your insurance claim. Everyday exhaust work gets the same honesty: if a broken hanger is causing the rattle, that's the fix we quote — not a new system.
Convenient for Austin drivers
Ten minutes or less from Allandale, Crestview, Brentwood, North Loop, Highland, and Mueller. Most muffler and exhaust leak repairs finish the same day — wait in the lobby or use the free shuttle within 10 miles. Open Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
What's included
- Muffler and resonator replacement that brings back factory-quiet
- Exhaust leak diagnosis and repair — gaskets, flanges, hangers, and rusted-through pipe sections
- Catalytic converter diagnosis, replacement, and theft-damage repair — with photos and paperwork for your insurance claim
- Direct-fit parts when they exist, custom-bent pipe when that's the smarter option — we tell you which before you commit
- Exhaust noise and highway drone diagnosis — we find the actual source instead of guessing with your money
Exhaust & Muffler Repair FAQs
Why is my exhaust suddenly so loud?
Usually one of four things: a rusted-through muffler or pipe section, a blown flange gasket, a cracked exhaust manifold, or — if it happened overnight in a parking lot — a stolen catalytic converter. We put your car on the lift, show you the failed part, and put the fix in writing before touching anything. If diagnosis takes shop time, the diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair.
How much does muffler repair cost in Austin?
It depends on what failed and how it's fixed: a leaking gasket or broken hanger is a much smaller job than a rusted-out muffler, a direct-fit part installs faster than custom-bent pipe, and some vehicles bury their exhaust components deeper than others. We diagnose first, then hand you a written quote before any work begins — and every repair is backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor.
My catalytic converter was stolen. Can you repair it?
Yes — converter theft repair is routine work at both our shops. We assess the cut pipe, install a converter that meets emissions requirements for your vehicle, and document the damage with photos and a written estimate for your insurance claim. Don't drive on it long: Travis and Williamson County vehicles still need an annual emissions test, and a missing converter is an automatic fail.
Will an exhaust leak make me fail the Texas emissions test?
It can. Texas ended annual safety inspections on January 1, 2025 (House Bill 3297), but vehicles registered in Travis and Williamson County still need an annual emissions test to renew registration. A leak ahead of the oxygen sensors can skew readings and trigger the check engine light — an automatic fail. We perform emissions testing at both shops, so we can fix the leak, verify it, and re-test in one visit.
