Lyon’s Muffler & Brake

These gentlemen were outstanding. Jim went out of his way to find the most reasonable & future-​proof solution for replacing two of my car’s catalytic converters. All the detailed advice & help they gave me, the quality of their work, the very reasonable pricing, and generally cool attitude of the whole staff made a real impression on me. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for exhaust/​muffler/​brake service. Thanks Jim!

Tired of hearing the wife point out all the extra sounds coming from under the vehicle, it became time to get it taken care of. I’ve been passing this Lyon’s Muffler for years, always reminding myself that I wanted to check them out one of these days. For this repair there would be no better opportunity to make a visit.
Service was great! They listened to what I wanted to do, gave me a quote on the work and we were on the rack as soon as the previous customers vehicle was done. We evaluated the damage and came up with a plan. We decided to go with an header back section to my factory muffler, with flanges in the factory location so I can remove the system like an factory exhaust, some places will just well them all and not even ask. I learned that lesson about fifteen years ago at a different place… Lyon’s had no problem taking care of it the right way. Jim and Oliver are both cool dudes in my book, they treated my 1989 Civic wagon with love. I enjoyed my visit so much I took a few pics while they worked on my project car.

Jim is the man. He did my Tundra originally and just did my Chevy. He is honest has a great price. I will
always use Lyons Mufflers.

The guys at Lyon’s are great. This was my first visit, they were very professional and friendly, the work was done on schedule and on time, high value at a very reasonable cost. No reason to go anywhere else.

I have to say that is not the first time I have to do something on my cars here, they really did a great job everytime !!!
Prices are more than competitive and Jim and his team are awesome and very helpful.
Only one thing to tell:
Highly recommended shop if you want a perfect job, and good prices even for a custom car !!!
Thank you so much guys :-), I’m a Happy customer !!!

Just had some Flowmaster Super 40’s installed on my C6. Not easy for them but they did a great job. Now my ride sounds even more killer! Pricing was very fair & Jim is a really cool guy.

Had a questionable experience at another shop so I came here. Jim knows what he’s doing and is the best in the business while being the friendliest shop owner by far

It’s always great to find a local business that’s truly as good as advertised.
They did exactly what they said they would, in the time they said it would take, and charged me exactly what they said they would.
They’ll get my return business and will recommend them to anyone who asks.

Amazing work, amazing quality, best price and best people. My car never felt or sounded better. Jim is the best!

Jim and his crew know there stuff, gave me exactly what I wanted at the best price I could find. Thanks Jim!

These guys are awesome. Old school muffler shop for sure. Quickly diagnosed and repaired some exhaust leaks on my 1973 Cadillac Eldorado. Also installed a new exhaust that made my ride sound awesome.

Excellent! After my terrible experience with Richard’s Performance Muffler. I decided to take my vehicle to this shop based off its reviews. Great decision! They took care of my car quickly and efficiently. They knew how to handle everything, had to do a little modification to my current exhaust system, but they got it working. Came in at the end of the workday and they had my out of there within an hour and a half. Wouldn’t hesitate to bring my vehicles here for any exhaust needs!

I had a clearance issue on my muffler after I installed a trailer hitch on my Honda Pilot. I tried bending the muffler mounts but still could not get the extra clearance so upon a recomendation from Steve at Allen’s Wrench, I stopped by Lyon’s Muffler and the guys took great care of me even though it was after 4pm on a Friday. Great service and an immediate permanent fix at a great price. Will come back again for all future exhaust work needs.

These frickin’ dudes are just Rock Stars in every sense of the word (s).
The owner, Jim, is…, well — Jim is a damn good man. Period. And Oliver, that young man can lay a bead of wire like fellas twice his age only aspire to.
I confidently recommend Lyon’s Muffler & Brake. The Flow Master they installed not only made my Camaro sound like a Camaro again but it actually improved my gas mileage considerably and managed to rustle up a few extra horse power from the depths of her 174,000 mile motor. …n i c e…

This is one of those shops that you think doesn’t exist anymore — they don’t over sell customers service or materials they don’t need. The fact that they can do all the high end work, is just icing on the cake. The owner even called a smog shop on my behalf and chewed them out for trying to fail my vehicle, when it was smog legal all along. And he had nothing to gain from doing that! Impressive!

Brought my 2000 crown Victoria in. I had three exhaust mounts blown out and a bent exhaust which was rubbin on the tire. Jim got the car right in and explained all the problems. Got custom made mounts and a redone exhaust in under an hour. Great time, work, and Jim knows his stuff. Will come back

Lyon’s:
resonably priced quality fast honest work … nuff said.
Decades of exhaust design… you can’t get that from a garage full of parts changers.
Wish I talked to Jim before I bought the Borla exhaust he installed, but it’s all good :-]

Bottom Line, Lyons Muffler is a San Marcos institution! It has been in buisness for well over 20 yrs that I know of. Jim the owner is awesome he definitely knows his stuff, and is knowledgeable about the industry, as you can tell by the many plaques, awards and certifications on the walls! Plus this is where the guys bring there hot rods and muscle cars, that tells you something right there! Jim, treated me like a friend and not just his next customer, and after visiting his shop its a relief to know that if I ever need any exhaust work done, this is the go to place!

I’ve had three of my own vehicles and two friends’ vehicles worked on here — all for exhaust, and a couple for brakes and other issues. Dan and Jim possess the attention to detail that I’m passionate about, which was evident from the first time I went there. Their willingness to help me, even sometimes for free, is something I greatly value, so I often pay more than what they ask for. And I ordered a Doug Thorley header through them knowing that I was paying a little more than I could get it for online because I’d rather bring my business to them.
They’ve got a customer in me for as long as they’re open.

I had to drive there and back 4 separate times and they still could not get the exhaust system on my car set up correctly. They charged me $ 300 for 4ft. of piping and 2 hours labor. There were holes that were not welded shut, they missed the bend over the sway bar and the muffler was knocking against the car frame and sway bar. I ended up having to take my car to another muffler shop to have their mess fixed. Very disappointed. I recommend that you avoid this shop.
