Darrel’s Economy Mufflers

I got a quote from another place for $ 475 after clearly explaining that I just wanted my old jeep to pass DEQ, and that I wouldn’t be holding on to it much longer. I immediately zipped out to Darrell’s and they had me set up for for $ 75 and did the work right away. This is the second time I’ve come to these guys and I’ll be back. They are honest, do quality work, and listen to their customers.

This is the best, most honest shop that I have ever come across. I heard a rattle under my truck. I thought I needed a new muffler. So Chris took a look and said, no the noise was from the heat shield from the catalytic converter. So he fixed it no charge. But he could have fixed it and also told me I needed a new muffler. Either way, the rattle would have been fixed and I would not have known the difference. You can trust these guys!

My muffler was completely missing on my ’84 Cadillac. These guys had me DEQ ready on a 32 year old car in less than 30 minutes for under $ 200. They were amazing. They gave me a quote within 10 minutes and had me on my way in 20. They are old school, hard workers– who know their stuff. And they put on cartoons for my kid while we waited. I couldn’t ask for more.

Went in today, told them what I needed (trying to pass DEQ to get my car registration so I knew I had a P0420 code and needed a new catalytic converter.) Probably less than fifteen minutes later I was good to go. I am impressed. A good price, fast and friendly, couldn’t ask for anything more.

These guys are great, old school and you know they’ve been doing this for years. I had a pretty unique problem and I needed to adjust my exhaust and they were super resourceful to resolve my issues with my exhaust. Little heat and bending and BAM fixed.
Also there ramp is pretty low and I was able to get in my lowered car easily without scraping.
Great prices and the best in town.

My 2005 Mazda MPV started having some exhaust issues a few weeks back. My husband took it over and Darrel fixed it in less than an hour. It was an issue that my husband said most other shops would’ve told us we had to replace the entire system.
Yesterday my car started making loud exhaust sounds again while I was on the way to a lunch date with my 15 month old. I took it right over to Darrel’s. Darrel came out immediately and asked how he could help, and told me it would be just a few minutes. In less than 10 minutes my car was on the lift, the problem identified, this time a crack in the pipe, and I was quoted $ 20 to repair the issue. «Sold!» I said.
My car was back on the road in about 30 minutes start to finish, and I was only a few minutes late to my lunch date. Darrel has a customer for life.

Awesome bunch of guys, best prices in town. I always come here and would recommend checking this place out before going anywhere else. Will be back again!

Had a dangling tail pipe, the young man got under the car told me exactly what the problem was, and sent me to my BMW mechanic. Less than a minute to reassure me and give me honest information. What else can you ask for? Thank you, I love finding great locally owned services.

This is so very sad to write. I’ve been a customer of Darrel’s for 24 years, my husband was one before we met. But in March a rattle in my exhaust system turned into a roar. I took the car to Darrel’s where they put it up on the rack and told me my catalytic converter was shot. One young employee smacked it and told me it was «all busted up inside». They didn’t seem interested in the fact it rattled first and when the roar set in the rattle stopped, or that I could see exhaust fumes coming up by the passenger side front door. Nope, they went galloping straight to a $ 500 repair. I’ve blown a cat before; it just didn’t seem to compute, so I said no thank you.
Today my regular mechanic fixed the problem and the car passed DEQ half an hour later. $ 90 repair — exhaust pipe flange and gasket. No catalytic converter replacement needed and FAR from $ 450 – 500 in costs. I feel betrayed. Instead of the service I expected, the three guys at Darrel’s when I went in (who each spent part or all of the 15 minutes I was there on their personal cell phone while looking at my car) seemed bent on making the most expensive repair possible without even considering any other options. I don’t ascribe to the «fool me twice» adage, they’ve lost me as a customer for good now.

Needed a new rear muffler on my car, so I ordered up the part online and hauled it over to Darrel’s for install.
They quoted a fair price before they began the work, so I said do it.
I was out the door within 15 minutes.
Will use again.
Pro tip: be there when they open for no wait.

Fast and honest. Came in for a new install brought my own parts and they quickly assessed and installed the new muffler, cat and tailpipe for very reasonable price. Most impressive was the efficiency of the repairs on the other vehicles that arrived during my visit. Noone was turned away, all were handled on the spot. Would highly recommend Darrel and his guys. They do one thing and do it well.

This place is amazing. I needed a new catalytic converter for my ’96 tacoma. I brought it in at 8am and was heading to work by 8:30. It cost less than $ 400, and they even brought me under the truck to talk through what they were going to do. Very friendly staff, and very affordable rates. Another shop wanted to put on stock cat converter and quoted me for over $ 2k for the same job… Needless to say, I am one satisfied customer. Thanks guys!

Wonderful. McCollum’s down the road sent me to Darrel’s when I couldn’t get through DEQ due to problems with my exhaust. I had several holes in my old muffler and pipes. 30 yr old car. No problem. Darrel ordered the part. I drove back a day or two later and they welded it in. Took less than 10 minutes. It couldn’t have been easier. Bought a fancy tail pipe to give them more business. All the guys were friendly, helpful and efficient. Seems I got a great price too, for when I got home I called someplace else and the price was almost double what Darrel’s was charging me. Is definitely economy. Will go back when I need a new muffler in a few years.

Went in took my car to have an exhaust pipe connected to a muffler that was on my car from a different model, the exhaust was made by Darrel personally 1 week before. All they have had to do was to put it all together and secure it which is very simple. They argued with me that they had to make too many mods and that it would take them 1 ½ to 2 hours and would cost me $ 250 to $ 300. I told them that it was unreasonable and had knowledge of the type of work they do. I made them know that I do lots of custom work on vehicles all the time, that is what I dedicate myself to but with the lack of tools, I had to go to someone to finish it off. Obviously they did not belive me and stuck to what they told me. So I told I just took my exhaust and left. Went down the street the same day to another muffler shop and they had no problem in performing the job. It only took 45 minutes of my time and $ 100 of my money. So I definitely would like to recommend you to shop around and think twice before taking your vehicle to Darrel for some work. There are many other shops that can perform the same quality job or even better for a fraction of the cost.

These guys know what they are doing, and charge very reasonable for excellent work. I have had Darrel’s work on my rigs over the last few years and have never let me down. Thanks again fellas.

Need muffler work? Do not stop, pass go and get straight to Darrel’s! Wonderful, wonderful experience. Had two other places tell me I need this, that and the other thing. Over $ 100 and leave rig for hours or full day with appt. Called Darrel’s and got the man himself; told me, from what I thought was wrong, would cost under $ 30 and take :15. And drop in anytime. Ended up needing nothing but a clamp and I was in and out in under :20. Very honest (I’m older female). I will never go anyplace else.
Thank you again Darrel!

Rolled in there with a hanging muffler, they welded it up, welded up another seam I didn’t know about, told me that I should fix the engine mounts (because the engine vibration is stressing the muffler joints). They did it all in less than 10 minutes and it was $ 25. Couldn’t ask for better service.

This place is awesome! I came in with a big hole n my muffler and not much money in my pocket. Darrel fixed me up with a new muffler for a hundred bucks and it only took 15 minutes

They were extremely friendly, fast and didn’t b.s. me around at all. Arguably the best muffler shop I have been to. I will continue to go there in the future.

These guys were friendly, knowledgeable, and priced fairly. I was out of there in 20 minutes. Highly recommend! Would give more stars if I could.
Edit 10÷7÷13: Car was making loud sound — took it in to make sure the muffler was ok. Turns out somebody had hit the car and bent the tailpipe leading to the loud sound and vibration. They took care of the problem within minutes at no charge!
