I REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR SERVICE I WILL BE BACK

I went to budget muffler and brakes today to get an alignment after getting tires at Noah's. These are great guys running this place very thorough and professional I had to wait a little while but the alignment was an expensive and I really appreciate their service I will be back.

BEEN TO THIS SHOP TWICE AND RECEIVED THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE ON BOTH OCCASIONS

. . . Is been now over 6 months and my exhaust still going strong! Apart from exhaust services they also do brakes, suspension, wheel balancing, Oil Changes, Tune Ups and some minor engine work. I have already recommended a person over to their shop and I am positive she received the highest customer service they provide here. I also saw they install K&N Intakes... I might just order one for my F-150 and take it there haha . . .

OEM & Aftermarket Brake Parts Installation Near Me

Expert Repairs With OEM & Name-Brand Aftermarket Parts

When you come in for a brake inspection, we will use the latest diagnostic equipment and best practices to thoroughly inspect your braking system, including pads, fluids, rotors, hydraulic braking systems, and other components -- all in order to identify problems before they become more expensive and/or dangerous. Our techs can even take precise measurements of brake pads and shoes to evaluate how much additional wear they can withstand. If we think you can safely get additional miles out of your brakes and pads, we'll let you know and provide you with a schedule for when they should be checked next. However, if we do recommend a brake service, you can trust that we're doing so for your safety as well as the long-term performance of your vehicle. Before we begin any work, we'll present you with an upfront estimate for the complete job and let you choose from OEM or brand-name parts. We carry Posi-Quiet, Bendix, Wagner, Brake Stop, Duralast, and Raybestos.
