Scheduled Maintenance/Tune-Ups & Preventative Care

The #1 Way to Avoid Major Repairs & Extend the Life of Your Vehicle

For modern cars, which mostly rely on OBD2 or CAN computer systems, a tune up consists primarily of servicing and/or replacing filters, spark plugs, and other high wear items in the fuel and ignition system. This is usually done as part of the car's regularly scheduled maintenance, which can also include inspections, filter changes, flushes, and replacing timing belts. In contrast, preventative care for older vehicles (primarily those made before the late 1970s and all classic cars) requires a more in-depth tune-up process, such as replacing distributor caps and points, manually adjusting fuel mixtures, and more. No matter the age, make, or model of your car, Budget Muffler Brake & Automotive will ensure you get the right preventative care and scheduled maintenance to maximize your vehicle's performance and lifespan and catch small problems before they turn into major repairs.

THIS IS A COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST

Don't let the location or overall appearance of this place fool you. If you car is no longer under warranty, this is the place you should have all maintenance performed at. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, their prices are reasonable, they will provide you a list of recommended repairs before you leave, along with how soon you should have them done and their approximate cost. These guys have been here for decades and decades, and most importantly? This is a company you can trust.

THE MOST HONEST, EXPERT, AND RELIABLE MECHANICS

I am giving this mechanic shop 5 stars and they deserve it. Todd and Carlos are perhaps the most honest, expert, and reliable mechanics I have ever done business with. They have now done several major repairs on my catalytic converter, and engine! I will never allow anyone else to work on my 3 cars! I highly recommend Budget Muffler to all my family and friends!

YOU'RE TREATED LIKE A FAMILY FRIEND

I been coming here for years brought over 3 different cars & never have i been disappointed. I pay for great service and customer service. Shout out to Carlos & his helper. They done my custom exhaust & all my alignment here. Low car friendly as well. I honestly don't go any where else. I know my money & time doesn't go to waste here. All the other shops around here can be so shady, but this shop here you're treated like a family friend.
