Major Muffler/Baizer and Grimmett automotive

These guys are the greatest! I writing this review after my second time taking my Corvette to them. I usually do all the work myself, but I didn't want to work on it during my vacation. I needed the Harmonic Balancer, Water Pump, Thermostat, and Oil Pressure Sending unit replaced. I had already bought the parts and just wanted them to do the labor. Scott explained to me that some of this is not what they usually do, but explained what he thought needed to be done, and that he would contact me if there were any concerns, or even if they couldn't do it. I told him I may not have all the required parts to do the job and to go ahead and get whatever you need. Not only did he contact me when he needed to order some gaskets (again, he didn't have to do that), but they ended up having to do a little bit more work due to a broken coolant drain plug...yet didn't charge me anymore than what he quoted me in labor (and the cost of the parts was very reasonable!). Outstanding work, fast, honest, and they go the extra mile! This will be the only place I ever bring my corvette to! Oh, and they actually cleaned all the residual oil off my engine/torque tube area that had leaked all over due to the oil pressure sender leaking! Thanks Scott!!!

These are the nicest guys ever. My catalytic converter got stolen, they were so helpful and understanding an genuinely cared about me and my car! I also scratched my car when parking and one of the guys surprised me by fixing it up for me with no charge! Definitely trust these people with your car :)

This company is a family business that has operated since 1929, and John, the grandson is now there. The entire staff are all very friendly, honest and compassionate---and excellent at their work. I made an appointment and got an entire exhaust system repair on my Toyota and they did it while I waited. The price was reasonable and the work was efficient and quick. I highly recommend them to everyone!

I really don't trust mechanics. At all. And I do most of the work my car needs myself. I needed to take care of a job that was to big for me to do on my own and I got recommended to come here from my body shop that I have a good relationship with. They did a great job and actually charged me less than the estimate because they got done faster, so they didn't charge me for labor I didn't use. I brought my car back for second issue and they spent an hour diagnosing my car and recommended a different mechanic as they couldn't fix the issue. This is an honest team that does good work. I trust one mechanic now.

These guys have been here for a long time. Not just the owners, but the mechanics also. In a span of 13yrs I've dealt with these guys now only 2 times. The first time was good experience and this last was also just as good. It says a lot for me that they have stayed in business and that they still have long time employees. I didn't feel like they were trying to sell me anything more than I needed and were very honest about the whole process. I didn't feel like they were trying to take advantage of me. If you want to continue reading... My actual experience is below. I came here in 2005 to fix my catalytic converter on my 1999 Audi A4. The guys were straight up and honest about the process and they did a good job. I moved away for many years(totally forgetting about this place) and moved back to SM recently. My latest (May 2018) issue was just and exhaust tip that came loose on my mother-in-laws Lexus. I looked up muffler shops and this place came up. They got me in and out fairly quickly and then I realized these were the same guys that did my cat 13 years ago. I didn't realize they also do maintenance so I will be taking my cars here for other needs as they come up. I hope this helps you decide.
