Central Auto Repair & Mufflers Reviews - Ontario, CA Exhaust & Muffler Repair

Went to this shop yesterday to get my brakes done and ended up having to get my front rotors replaced too but instead of most places where they just tell you, Stephen brought be back to show me what was going on. Stephen was very kind, excellent customer service, and I left feeling like I found a new trusted place to bring my vehicle and recommend to others.

I've been coming here for over 20 years . Great service and prices

I love this business. Very nice. Fast . Affordable. Friendly. Highly recommend. Been using their services for 6/7 years.

Manny is the best, owners are fair and very friendly great work great quality work and mufflers

Great guys, I had an exhaust emergency with my vehicle, called them and they got me in quickly, and fixed the issue for an affordable price

Had them install a Corsa exhaust on my F150 and they were fast, affordable, and good people to deal with. Couldn't be happier.

Honest people great work ethic and very friendly

Amazing service! Reasonable price and Ray explained everything that was going to be done and why it needed to be done. In the nicest way, I hope I never have to come back here. But if I do need a service, I'll be sure to come back here.

I know the owner ray he is awesome and always willing to work with the people and prices love this place

Whoever is reading this is looking for a solution for the problem of their car, the catalytic muffler, the oxygen sensor, you are in the right place, the owners are going to explain to you exactly what it is.

Great custom fabricated X-pipe and muffler delete pipes by Manny.

Very good experience, very friendly staff

Fast service , great customer service and very happy with the outcome. Took my Porsche Macan in to install some muffler tips and do a muffler delete . Highly recommend

Good price great job just need to came back to realign the cat it was leaking air

Professional n Friendly, got me in and out in a timely manner and gave me sound advice about what I may need I. The future...

Ray and his staff are very responsive over the phone and in person, they serviced my car (got a new catalytic converter to their shop and replaced it for me fast) thank you so much :)

I work with some of the top automotive manufacturers and their dealers globally and I have to say I was throughly impress with Central Automotive. My girlfriends sons Prius had the catalytic converter stolen recently knew they exactly what needed to be done and how to get him back on the road quickly and at a price I considered to be more than fair.

They earned my repeat business immediately.

best place to go great service great prices around i highly recommend

Took my classic car in to get some pipes put in the work Manny great guy to work on the classic cars. The owner r great person to talk too.

Had problem with smog check Ray looked over report suggested a o2 censor I went and picked up one Ray installed and everything is fine and passed smog thanks for the advice an installation

Custom C10 exhaust not a problem for these guys. Quick service very reasonable price. Great job.

I went back with another car for Manny to help custom fabricate a X-pipe to replace factory secondary catalytic converter as well as a set of muffler delete pipes. It really woke up the V12 and it sound so beautiful after Manny did his magic.

Took our Hyundai Veloster here 2 weeks ago to get the exhaust manifold replaced. Called them super professional from the start. They didn't have the piece they needed but it was ordered and at the shop by the time we took the car in. Dropped car off and got provided transportation back home. Drove the car for a week and started hearing a rattling noise called them up and they had us take it back in (gasket issue) fixed the problem it's been a week since we took it back and so far so good.The service they provide was great!

These guys helped me quickly resolve an exhaust leak due to a hole in my catalytic converter. Very knowledgeable and professional.

I had a frontpipe and overpipe installed on my BRZ this morning. Manuel was the installer and he did a quick and professional job. He was also very friendly. I will be coming back here!

I've been coming to Central Auto since 2009 when I first needed work on an exhaust. Since, I've only trusted Ray (owner) and his shop! They do quality work, give you the best price possible and they're quick. I've done everything from having Central Auto install a full cat-back exhaust, do a muffler delete, resonator delete, replace tips and fabricate pipes to fit perfect with my car(s). These were done on different vehicles but each time, it was perfect.

I've recommended my friends, and even my Mom.

Cool story with my Mom, she originally wanted a Flowmaster on her 2021 Silverado. Of course we went to Central Auto. After they installed the new Flowmaster, she really didn't like the sound because it just wasn't loud enough for her. So she told Ray (owner) and Ray went above and beyond and had them remove the Flowmaster and change it out for what she liked, and now she loves the roar that her truck has. Thanks Central Auto!

Been coming here for years and have recommended many family and friends. Manny the installer is highly skilled and does great work for a fair price. They do get busy so call ahead.

I feel like God was looking out for me today when I looked up catalytic converter repair shops and I chose to call this location! I spoke to Ray whom was extremely helpful and gave me valuable information. He could have just took my money and replaced my catalytic converter. He looked at my miles and didn't, instead he told me to look at my owners manual and see if it's covered under CA emissions law. He cleared my code and said to see if it comes back on. Might I mind you my Dealership whom I purchased the vehicle from for $24,000 told me they could have it ready in 5 days for $2800. Without even doing a diagnostic, just going off the codes they pulled because my check engine light was on. I have 6 kids and a grandson, I should have found someone more honest long ago. Sorry for my rambling, my point is if the check engine light comes back on I will definitely be bringing it back to Ray at Central Auto Repair Mufflers on Central in Ontario for a much lower price and excellent customer service!

Nice guys, great price, fast replacement of my catalytic converter.

After research I decided to come to this shop because they seemed to have good welds and proper bends. I came in with my Audi and muffler and x-pipe in hand. I told them what I wanted and within two hours they fabbed up and welded my exhaust. At a smokin price too. I’d recommend this shop to anyone. The welds are Bitchin’

This is the only place I go for mufflers and catalytic converters. My family and I have gotten mufflers, cats, and entire exhaust systems here for all of our cars over the last 30+ years. Ray is very helpful and will make suggestions to save you money and make your exhaust system better. They've also done welding on various parts I've brought in for project cars(motor/trans mounts etc.).

These guys do a great job for a good price and are quick at getting the job done so you can be on your way.

Top shop.

This place is awesome!!! Manuel straight piped my 47 Chevy perfectly!!! Bring your classic or daily driver here!!! Thanks tons for hooking me up with that perfect Bomb sound from my Chevy...

Did a good welding and installation job. Customer friendly, respectful, and fast. Car sounds good, magnaflow exhaust with new black tip.

I called them to see if they would to an inspection of a used vehicle i was interested in buying and the owners brother (i later found out) Ray said sure it's not a big deal he would do it for free. I took this beat up 1990 LaForza 4x4 down there and the owner actually looked at it. All they did was look at the suspension and the trans and muffler to tell me how terribly shoddy the work was done on it and gave me a very rough estimate of how much just the suspension parts would be to repair! I was relieved I didn't have to pay them 99$ and wait an hour at some other mechanics! Such nice guys and the owner seemed super professional, like he REALLY knew what he was talking about; showing me all the shoddy work underneath. Thanks guys!

Great pricea, professional service, quality work done quickly.

Recently got both of my mufflers deleted and replaced with steel straight pipes on my Lexus. They did an excellent job and did it real quick and done very professionally. Results turned out better than what I expected. This is the best muffler shop in town with good quotes. Please come here for any exhaust modifications please! You’ll enjoy the service and the results! 11/10

I've been going to CENTRAL AUTO REPAIR for 30 yrs. Not only do they do good work at a good price, they're honest and reliable. After taking my truck in for brake service, I was told my brake pads were fine - "just needed some fluid and adjustments". Their custom exhaust work fit like a glove, and sounds great. The owners are always there for personal service, so you never need to worry about being taken advantage of. I highly recommend CENTRAL AUTO REPAIR

Great, friendly service. Great low price. Very fast I was in and out in 30 minutes without an appointment. Will definitely go back in the future.

Had my sons civic exhaust worked ok n here..they did awesome work and fast... didnt try to rip me off like other shops... great help from the owner.

Very professional, outstanding quality of the product. Custom exhaust exceeded my expectations. If you have any exhaust work that needs to be done on your car or truck, go see Ray. Awesome work guys thank you.

Good service and the best prices

The best service at a great price. They really take the time to make sure you know what you want and understand what you'll be getting done to your vehicle.

Honest, family owned/operated exhaust shop. True lifesavers!! My '06 Scion needed a catalytic converter replacement.. all previous quotes had been in the $1200-$1800 range. Not these guys! I was verbally quoted $350-$375... and that's the price I paid when I took my car in a week and a half later! No upsells, diagnostic fees, etc. The car was in & out within a few hrs, and I passed my smog the same day.

Work is guaranteed for 1 yr or 12,000 mi. Because of this shop I was able to repair my car and get a job. Thank You!!

I got a referral from Pep Boys to this place. My catalytic converter was stolen and I needed one reinstalled. Instead of paying about $1300 for a whole new part alone, this shop had a weldable piece in stock and got it done for under $700 including tax. Owner Ray is real easy guy to work with and I am happy with the job.

very reasonable and very quick highly recommend

Manuel / Ray and his team at central auto repair and muffler are great people. They are very honest and look out for your best interest. They were super helpful, took care of my vehicle immediately and were very reasonable on price. Like someone else mentioned earlier , it’s very hard to find honest people like them these days who are patient and willing to help you out. Thanks again.

Best place to install your catalitic or muffler or if you hear any noise from exhaust...afordable price too..

I came in thinking I needed to replace my catalytic converter and after speaking with the owner it turns out I didn't and my car passed the smog test 😄. I'm so thankful I came in and I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a muffler shop with honest mechanics.

Quick no nonsense work. Did exactly what I wanted and charged a very responsible price. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

These guys are great! They are very knowledgeable and efficient. They got the job done fast and within my budget.

Manny was the guy who did the custom weld with the cutout. The craftsmanship is great and I was treated with friendly service. The owner is easy to talk to and the price was reasonable. There was no luxury tax to my Mercedes. 10 stars if I can give them that many.

I always take my trucks to this man good service reasonable prices and a good warranty on their work and I have never needed it from a simple Muffler change to a complete exhaust system this is the One Stop Shop

Replaced my catalytic converter. I called for a quote and that's the price I paid. No hidden charges. Very honest and reliable. Great customer service! Highly recommended.

I shopped around and found this place Central Auto Repair & Mufflers.

They are very nice and extremely reasonably priced. They did an amazing job in a record time. I would like to strongly recommend them as their excellent workmanship and very reasonable price was a lot better than the others.

Great price on catalytic converters and very professional manager and very skilled technicians, very fast service, and very well done welding

Came here this morning to get some work done and couldn’t be any happier great customer service and owner is awesome great chat will definitely come again.

Excellent service provider and good price, fast, best of the best

I really recommend this place ,very helpful and gave me other options regarding the work my car needed ...very honest and helpful my car was ready to pass the smog in no time!! Ask for Manny very honest man .

Did a great job putting my stock oem exhuast back on my car in short period time and price is good

I had Ray and his team replace my catalytic converter on my 2003 Nissan Altima about 10 years ago. They did a fantastic job! So when check engine light can on in my wife's Infinity and the dealer wanted to charge us $1,900.00 for each catalytic converter I knew I could get it done for much, much cheaper. Trying to convince my wife was going to be a problem because she doesn't trust anybody but the dealer to work on her car. But when she heard the quote for both converters Ray gave us she decided to give it a chance though she was still skeptical. Ray instructed us to go and pick up the parts ourselves from the dealer and he would just charge us for the labor (price was way below the dealers quote). It's been 3 months and the light is still off. These are truly a great group of guys and they are very, very honest. It's hard to find people like them these days. They get five stars plus my recommendation!

Thanks again Ray for your honesty great service.
