MY TOYOTA RAV LIFT KIT INSTALLATION WAS FLAWLESSLY EXECUTED

Kudos to Todd, Carlos, and the entire crew! Their expertise in suspensions worked wonders on my Toyota RAV - the lift kit installation was flawlessly executed. Exceptional care and professionalism throughout the process. Highly recommend their top-notch service!

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.

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT! HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD

These guys are great! Honest and straight forward. Quick service, even when all the bays are full when you show up. I've taken my car here for basics (oil change, spark plugs, etc.) to the craziness of my most recent visit (bad ignition coil, rear bearing, rear shocks, rear tires, front shocks)

DID GREAT WORK ON MY CAR

Such a great experience, took my car in, and it was out in 2 hours for a custom exhaust. The owner was friendly and so was the crew. Did great work on my car and the prices ain’t that bad either! definitely will be going there for future car things

Shock & Strut Replacement by Highly Trained Technicians

Comprehensive Inspections by Highly Trained Technicians

At Budget Muffler Brake & Automotive, we begin our suspension, strut and shock repairs by test driving your vehicle. Our highly experienced technicians will assess its steering and handling, noting any swerving, excessive steering play, or looseness in the wheels. They will also assess the overall quality of your vehicle's ride, checking for any excessive bouncing or roughness. With this assessment, they are able to determine what the actual problem is and provide a cost-effective solution. Typical suspension repairs can include shocks, steering components, rack and pinion, ball joints, tire rod ends, bushings, and/or sway bar links. When suspension parts need to be replaced, clients can choose from original equipment manufacturer (OEM), aftermarket, or performance parts, such as those made by Bilstein, KYB, Monroe, Boge, and other trusted brands.
