They fit me in at the end of the day on short notice because I only had one vehicle and my brake lines were leaking. Did the work in about an hour and charged a fair price. I tried to give them an extra $20 for helping me out in a jam, and they refused it. Great father-and-son garage. Theyll get my return business.

Good work and better prices. Had my car in for a quote and they had me out the door less than an hour after my car went on the lift with the problem FIXED for under $100. I hope i dont have exhaust issues again anytime soon but if i do, best believe its coming back here.

Fantastic place. They fixed up my muffler for around $75. They even helped me shut my really broken door when I needed to head home. (Drivers side wont close so I just go through passengers door. They shut it up for me and gave me advice on how to fix it, even!) Wonderful people!

Very honest! They were reccomended to me by a close family friend. Called the shop, was able to get my vehicle in right away and it was repaired very reasonably. I have been back and had the same good treatment.

We were passing through town and developed a brake problem. They were able to get us in early, replaced our pads and rotors and got us back on the road quickly. Great service and reasonable price too.

Great experience today! I was worried about the brakes in my car, and Tom, the owner, was able to fit me in the same day that I called. Not being accustomed to the snow, it ended up not being an issue at all, and I was in and out of the shop in less than an hour. He checked it out and even topped off my power steering fluid (unrelated to my brake concerns), and he didnt charge me anything! He explained everything to me clearly, and we even chatted a bit. I will definitely be taking my car back to Toms shop for regular maintenance and anything else. Thanks for much for all of your help!

Great work at a great price!!! My y pipe that hooks up to the manifolds had rotted off on one side making my truck very loud. I went to Becks and they said it was going to start at $1,500 because they wanted to remove the manifolds and start over. They however gave me a card for Collins shop and he said he could remove the very rusty studs and weld in a new short piece of pipe and it was only going to cost $100. I am so great full for his service and it looks like he did a very professional job. This is a great shop if you drive something older and dont want to invest a lot of money into your ride, he also seems to fix only what is necessary. If you go here be patient however because it is a small shop so he can only get a few vehicles in at a time but the wait was so worth the nice repair and the savings. I have not been to shop in eight years since I do my own repairs except for tires and exhaust, but if I ever have something happen again that I feel I do not have time for or I do not want to do myself I will be back to Collins shop.

Collins was very laid back and accommodating. Their prices were competitive and fair. My car had a hole in the exhaust system, and they did a great job of putting in the new flex pipe. The car is very quiet now.

Review №22

Great, quick service, I was in and out in half an hour after them fixing my exhaust pipe. They dont try to rip you off; for me, they replaced a section of the pipe as opposed to replacing the whole muffler, saving me $150-200. Highly recommended.

After getting several other exhaust installation estimates from area shops I took my truck to Collins and Im glad I did.....Their price for installation was a lot lower than all of the other shops. Great prices and friendly people. Drive downtown and save money!!!

Tom Collins,of Collins Muffler and Brake, has maintained my vehicles for about 15 years now. Honest and reasonably priced. Vehicles were always ready when they promised. Small, friendly, family owned and operated shop.

We took our car to a big dealership for an oil change and check up. They were going to charge us over $1,000 to replace something to fix the problem. We took it to Collins and they found a fuse that needed replaced. Cost us $60 and the problem is solved. Super thankful!

Our truck wouldnt start & Collins was recommended by the dealership. Even though they were super busy, they got our truck fixed within 48 hrs & for less than $200.

Hi
Review №31

I am a very happy customer.I went to Collins to get a diagnosis of the source of the noise in my exhaust system, and a quote for fixing it. One minute on the lift and I had both: a rusted-out flex pipe, and $100 (and they could get it done in 30 minutes). Id been expecting it to be more than that, so I told them to go ahead and fix it.Ten minutes later the mechanic came to say that there were small rust holes under some shielding on the rear exhaust pipe that leads to the muffler. He said they werent making much sound now, but it would worsen with time, and they could replace that part for another $45. He helpfully took me into the bay and under the lift so I could feel the pulses of air coming out from under the shielding. I said to fix that part too.45 minutes after arriving and a modest $145 later, my car is purring quietly once again.

The owner of this place is honest and not in the business of trying to sell people a bunch of parts & services that they dont need. He fixed the brakes on my car for a fair price that was less than some other repair shops (Pep Boys & Car X) wanted to charge me.

Review №45

If it wasnt for the fact that they reversed and refunded the work within 24 hours, I would have given them 1 star. Two friends have constantly referred me to his shop for car issues over the years. Last week I took my car because my fan stopped working. I called him, explained the problem and made an appointment to have it fixed (told him of my time delay because of work schedule). He called within a couple of hours to tell me it was fixed (no other information was given at the time). When I arrived at the shop, I was told that he couldnt fix it completely because the fan didnt work at the hi setting (for heat/defroster/ac) and didnt have the diagnostic tools to further diagnose the issue. In other words, I was expected to pay him almost $120 for the work he did and go to ANOTHER mechanic to diagnose and repair the other issue. I felt that he should have told me of the lack of complete repair during the initial its fixed call so that I could tell him to reverse at that time (when I still had time before work) and move on. I felt like I was being taken advantage of because I was a woman, in need (b/c it is during the winter and need the defroster to drive), and so on. I will NEVER go back there again.
