Thanks to reviews I chose this Co. to replace my muffler.
Thought I also needed a catalytic converter also
but after inspection it was OK. Only needed a muffler.
In at 8 AM and out by 10.
Excellent price and service.
I will recommend this Co. to all.

This guy is amazing! My husband took the car because it was making an awful noise. the minute he walked in, the mechanic put the car up and took a look at it. It turns out there was a metal object stuck somewhere causing the noise. He took it out and did not charge him anything! He didn’t want to accept a well deserved tip! To me, this speaks volumes! We will sure be back when the muffler needs to be repaired! Thanks!!!

I really can’t say it any better than what the other reviewers said, but it is definitely a good place to get a muffler repair done quickly, efficiently and at a fair price. Steve immediately lifted up the car, showed me what the issue was and repaired only what needed to be done, which is sometimes hard to come by these days. He told me exactly how much it was gonna cost and I was on my way in thirty minutes!
Great muffler art to look at as you wait too!

Before Miami killed my prize vehicle, I was in the market of trying to fix her up. I’d gone through many life experiences with The B and even though she was old, tired and a wee bit broken, I was not yet ready to give up the ghost. After taking her to Shorty & Fred’s, I got the recommendation to go in to the wild wild west and take my car baby to the Mad Hatter.
Steve has an interesting shop. With muffler art adorning to the lot, you can tell as soon as you pull up that he means business and he knows his craft well. And, if you can’t tell from the art, you’ll be able to figure it out by the steady stream of cars pulling in, begging for his expert eye and help. I found Steve to be fair, knowledgeable and honest. He could have taken me for a long, expensive ride. Instead, he hoisted my car in to the air, went over what was going on, the probably cause, what he could do, what he would do, and how much money I should invest in the vehicle. You don’t throw good money after bad and, after a while, you simply don’t invest good money into a losing proposition. It was the Tao of Mad Hatter in the middle of NW 7^th.
After Steve had gotten me to think long and hard about what I could, would and should do, he set about getting the job done in a creative, highly skilled and incredibly fast way. He, literally, made a way out of no way. Years of road salt in Chicago and water rust/​rot from Miami Beach had taken a toll on my car baby, but Steve, somehow, managed to salvage a muffler that worked, was quiet and attractive. And, did I mention that he did all the work, salvage and creation for a price I found to be extremely fair?
Mufflers aren’t as sexy as craft cocktails or truffle foam set a top an iceberg of greens… but they are an essential part of living in a car culture city like Miami. Odds are, at one time or another, you’re going to have need of a good muffler guy. When that time comes, head to the Mad Hatter. Steve’s the only guy you’ll need.

If you need muffler help, the Mad Hatter Muffler Shop is the place to go! I had a hole in my front muffler pipe, which had been previously diagnosed at a Midas up around Hollywood (which had really good Unilocal reviews). Midas said the pipe would need to be replaced, but they would have to order the part. I took their quote and since I live in South Beach, I said I would think about it. I take my car to Shorty & Fred’s on the beach, and they recommended the Mad Hatter to me, so I decided, even though there was a closer Midas place to me, I’d take my car to the Mad Hatter because he was very nice when I called him on the phone.
After I got there he, put my car on the lift and immediately diagnosed the same problem and told me it was an easy fix, which he did do in less than an hour and saved me $ 300 as compared to the quote the Midas man gave to replace the whole thing!
I was very satisfied, and would recommend taking your car here for muffler fixing! Steve was great, and lots of experience under his belt. He does some fun sculpture art in his spare time which certainly adds to the character of this unique place!

The guys here are out of control. I’ve been going there for years, and it’s always great service and good results at a fraction of the price the dealer or mechanics closer to my house have quoted. This is because they won’t just replace a bunch of parts that still work; they can weld in the individual part that was broken, unlike many shops. They also have a sculpture garden that’s both funny and beautiful and totally worth a trip.
