Great repair shop
GREAT!!!! These folks specialize in mufflers and exhausts and they do it right!!! Super easy to work with and honest - what more could you want?
Fast and did a great job, they even found a dangerous problem and fixed it for free.
Wasn't for sure exactly what I was looking for but called multiple entities before making a decision to go with Salem Exhaust. Jason spoke professionally and unlike other shops didn't try milking me for all they could get. Jason advised of multiple options but advised a specific option would give me what I was…
Very friendly staff and got my axel back done faster than I thought and looks awesome will be going back if I need more work.
Excellent service. Called in the morning for muffler replacement, dropped off later that day, and job was done next day. Highly recommend
Wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my exhaust but I wanted a deeper sound and not excessively loud. Jason was able to schedule me in for appointment and got my car on a lift and gave me many options. Love how it turned out!
This shop really amazed me with their quickness in getting it done, their price, and the friendly service, everything was really great, the process was very simple and the price was a steal. I am super happy I came here to Jason's shop. They have the best customer service and the will treat you like your family. I…
Thank you Jason for your knowledge and being extremely fair! I appreciate your time!!
Top quality service at a fair price. Honest mechanics that will give you all of the information above and beyond without trying to upsell you on work you don't need. My new go-to.
Came in and they got to work almost instantly. Great service, great people, and excellent quality. Overall, I loved the job they did on my muffler delete!
Jason was very accommodating. Made room in his schedule same day to look at my exhaust system and recommend a fix. Was there maybe an hour at most. He was able to identify some opportunities the previous fabricators didn't take advantage of. He identified a simple and cost effective solution. Solid work - great…
Jason is honest and knows what he's doing. I'm impressed with the work he did on my old Jaguar. High quality, fair prices, and nice guy running the place. Can't ask for more than that. Shop and waiting area super clean, too. I recommend Salem Exhaust without reservation. Update: Have used Salem Exhaust a couple…
Have done business here a few times now. Jason is a stand up guy and honest to do business with. They are my go-to exhaust shop from here on out. 100% recommend.
Fast and affordable
I have used Salem Exhaust over the years for several projects. Jason and his crew have been courteous and helpful. Labor costs and materials have been more than fair. Recently while getting some tube bent Jason said he has invested in a new refrigerant recovery system for R134A. It is still the standard on vehicles…
Amazing service! Got me in quick. My exhaust had been rattling and making noises, they said it was a simple weld and did not charge me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Salem exhaust!
Jason, you’re the man I recommend this to anyone that needs anything done to their car I got a resonator delete on my 2023 Toyota Camry Trd took less than 30 minutes. Did an amazing job. Sounds amazing. Thanks again.
Phenomenal service excellent work... thanks for getting me in and out so fast and doing the job right
Walked into the store explained what I needed 10 minutes later I walked out with exactly what I needed and they beat everybody's price in town great people great service
They simply restored my faith in humanity. At least for a little while. They really made my day. We’re in the process of selling our house and it has been a terrible experience. Messy work on upgrades and people generally trying to take advantage of us. So when I took our old Outback to have a crack in the resonator…
The passenger tailpipe on my mustang was rubbing on my passenger tire, therefore I needed to get it slightly modified to clear it. Went in without an appointment and the lady at the front end whom was very kind squeezed me in their schedule. Jason and his team are very experienced and they got me in an out within an…
I highly recommend Salem Exhaust. From the first phone call I knew I was in good hands. Jason and the team are awesome and did a great job on my 2018 Tacoma’s exhaust system. Don’t waste time anywhere else. Head straight to Salem Exhaust. Great people always make the difference and Salem Exhaust is no exception! Thank you… Damon in Salem
Custom cat back exhaust 5 years ago, started to develop a low rpm vibration and brought it back. It was a clamp that got loose over time, a factory flaw with a GM exhaust. Jason welded the clamp and got me on my way free of charge. Great shop, highly recommend, they do excellent work and standby what they do. They will do all my exhaust work in the future!
Jason diagnosed and repaired the exhaust on my 27' motorhome. Personable, professional and got it done!!! Very well experienced! His pricing is way beyond fair too!! Deserves way more than a 5 star rating as an honest mechanic! Thank you Jason!!!
We had a muffler problem at the beginning of a road trip. They got us in immediately, fixed the problem, charged us almost nothing, and sent us on our way. We've got a new favorite mechanic.
Best shop ever! I have a set of LCE headers I needed welded and they got me in right away and it was done in less than 10 minutes and at no charge! I highly recommend this shop and would give them a higher rating if I could!
Great service, Jason and his team were able to get my truck in quickly and identify my muffler issue. Affordable prices and quality work! Highly recommend!
The customer service is awful. Bald guy ise very rude.
If I could give them 10 stars I would, came in with an exhaust issue, not sure what to expect, had tech Bryan go for a ride, he got an idea what was up, I of course was fearing the worst, told me he would let me know what was up after getting it on the lift. 1 hr later get a call saying Truck was done, it was a…
Jason was super awesome! He got everything done I asked and even helped me with my old catback. He went above and beyond and I highly recommend his business! Excellent work!
Customer for life. We take all our business and personal vehicles there. Honest folks that provide top quality work.
Had my exhaust mellow on the passenger side replaced and an elbow added on to dampen the noise. Was super loud now is super quiet. Love it HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS
Thank you for for doing such a good job. Not only that but something else was pointed out that was also fixed. I was seen earlier than my appointment and the work was done quickly. The price was great. And the work was great. I would recommend Salem Exhaust and Automotive to anyone. Very satisfied customer.
Terrific expertise, quality work, reasonable and fair price. Definitely recommend.
The shop was the best I had flow master echaust put on friendly professional service at a fair price just the best. If I could give 6 stars I would.
This Dude, one Jason Carter whom owns Salem Exhaust, has Flat Out been Honest to the greatest degree! He never even needed the Benefit of the Doubt! YOu may Trust Jason Carter and Salem Exhaust + Auto!
Extremely professional, very reasonable and the most honest shop in Northwest
Jason was very knowledgeable and kind. He helped me diagnose my exhaust issue and gave me the part number I needed to order the part. I was capable of doing my own work, so it was very kind of Jason to help me without any expectation. If I have an issue in the future that I cannot fix myself, I will hire these guys no doubt.
If you are looking for an honest shop that will get your exhaust work done in a timely manner for a reasonable price, Salem exhaust is the place to go. Very professional and knowledgeable. Jason and his crew repaired all the exhaust leaks on our RV in less than an hour. I'm glad I found this place. I'm not usually…
The owner is a nice friendly guy. He gave me a great price too. Would recommend 100%
