Without a doubt the best mechanic and custom automotive shop in all of Long Island! Ownership and staff are very friendly and knowledgable. American Muffler is by far the best experience I have ever had getting my car serviced. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Don’t usually write reviews but have to say American Mufflers not only do mufflers but also do Auto repairs. And the mechanics there are friendly and honest. I bring all my vehicles there for service. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks Zack and the boys for taking care of me and my vehicles.
