My brother in law recommended this place he has used it for years. I came in because i had a loud noise coming from my exhaust. They checked it and brought me inside the shop to show me exactly where it was leaking. They replaced my resonator and they gave me a great price! Definitely Recommend!!!

I had a oil spot in my garage where i park my car, so i took it to this shop. They checked it and showed me where the leak was. They replaced my power steering pressure hose/line. Was very pleased with the service, work and price

I first spoke to the guy over the phone he said $50 to check the car and if is fixed there no charge. I dropped off my car at 8 am and he said he should have it today and then he calls me back and said until Monday, I asked him how much and the price changed from $290 to $380 and I said no thanks I’ll pick up my car then he said is $70 to look at it. I told him his a liar because he said it was $50. I asked to speak to a manger and he said his the owner and laugh. This place is a scam.

These guys are the best! Very friendly and treat you like a family. I am very picky with who I have work on my car but they did a great job straightening out the exhaust I installed on my Mustang but couldnt quite get right. They had me in and out in no time with a very reasonable price. A+ rating, thanks jesse

The mechanic who helped me out was very helpful. Took me inside the garage while my car was on the lift and showed me exactly where the exhaust leak was. He replaced a piece of exhaust pipe and the noise was gone the price was great as well thanks!!!

I dropped off my vehicle at California Mufflers & Brakes for repairs on February 14, 2019 since the check engine light was showing on the dashboard and the car was hesitating on acceleration. An hour later, the owner called me and told me that their diagnostic tool indicated that I had a damaged transmission and that I needed a new transmission. I refused the costly repairs. Fifteen minutes later, she called me back on the phone and told me that their diagnostic tool pointed to a bad sensor and that I needed a transmission flush. I agree to the repairs. Later that day, I picked up my car and everything seemed fine. However, on the following morning, my vehicle started to hesitate on acceleration once again and the check engine light came on. Later that day I took my car to another auto shop and found out that the transmission oil pressure sensor was not replaced and that the transmission was not flushed. I also learned that transmission oil was leaking from the left front axle. The broken seal on the axle was replaced, fixing my car problems. On the following day, I went back to California Mufflers & Brakes and talked to the owner in person. I told her about the issue I was having with the repairs and that I wanted a full refund. She refused, saying that the car had been fixed. However, it is clear that my car was misdiagnosed and was not repaired. If you value your time and you do not want to spend your hard-earned money on fraudulent repairs, I advise you not to do business with California Mufflers & Brakes. They will rip you off! I have no choice now but to spend more of my time and money to resolve this issue through the courts. If anybody out there had a similar experience with California Mufflers & Brakes, please get in touch with me.

I have gone here a few times for my jeep liberty and then for my Mitsubishi eclipse. Both times they gave me very good prices and I never had to come back for those problems again. They have great customer service and I would definitely recommend this place.

My car was overheating and I took it to this shop. They checked it out and took about 30 min and told me I needed a thermostat. They charged me $120 and the problem was fixed in 1 hour. My car stopped overheating and I never had a problem again. Also the guy at the front desk was very polite and helpful.

Terrible business. Terrible mechanics. Brought in my car for brake job, had more problems after the work was done. They broke my ABS sensors and caused damage to my rotors and calipers. They also claimed to have changed my oil but they didnt. Because I seen the same filter on that another shop uses. They charged me 30 dollars for an oil change they didnt do. Scammers and thieves!!!! Stay Away!!!!!
