What customers said about exhaust
Dirtslayers LLCI would trust every single vehicle I own here! Hands down the only place I ever will let touch my Tacomas! They are true professionals of their craft, and I’ve never met anyone more knowledgeable and honest as Phillip! The experience and expertise of this shop is unmatched!!!
G&R Exhaust & AutomotiveTook my truck to G&R, great customer service. I was trying to fix the exhaust myself, and Tyler gave me advice and walked me through it. Ended up getting tricky so I brought it in and he got it done. I’ll definitely be bringing stuff back in!
Oswald Service IncOswald’s was very informative as to what needed to be done to our vehicle. They were quick to get the job done! I would recommend and will be back for future service needs!!
Dirtslayers LLCPhillip and his team are the best there is. I’ve had them upgrade some things on my truck, as well as do maintenance on my daily driver. They do excellent work and I highly recommend!
G&R Exhaust & AutomotivePhenomenal service. Clean welds and quick work. These guys are clearly experienced. Got my V8 singing like she should. Both guys were great to work with. Definitely coming back for more work.
G&R Exhaust & AutomotiveVery friendly! Diagnosed issue quickly after having taken my car to two other repair shops and got different/opposing diagnoses. Got it in, serviced, and paid a heck of a lot less than what I was originally told by the other repair shop. Highly recommend. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.
