"The crew at Andy's Muffler Service are fantastic. I had an issue with my 2003 VW beetle and wasn't sure what was wrong. I had other mechanics tell that I may need an entire new exhaust system put into my car and then I was recommended to Andy's Muffler Service. They could have easily taken advantage of me and charged me to replace anything on the exhaust system. Instead, they told me the problem was a simple flex tube repair and it saved me a lot of money. The car runs great with no problems now. If you want honest, quality service, please check out Andy's Muffler Service!"

"Andy provides excellent work along with outstanding service. He was able to perform a quality install, in great time, at short notice! He communicated details and expectations well and managed time and the project superbly. I️ couldn’t be happier with the quality of the work on my new Mustang and Exhaust. Definitely call Andy for you exhaust needs!"

"I needed something simple welded on my exhaust and i needed it quick (smog test). The first shop i stopped by first argued they needed a diagnostic fee and had a min welding charge of $90...so a minimum of $160 just to start. Well it pays to shop around. I called Andy's number after seeing his reviews here, nice guy! Andy said, "Bring it over right now and worst case scenario I'll charge you $45." A man of his word, he welded up what i needed and it only cost me $40! I just might have to have this guy put an exhaust on my other truck.
**UPDATE**
Had to have a handful of exhaust parts replaced as well as my catalytic converter...the smog shop's neighbor quoted $900+tax. So I called Andy and again, a man of his word he saved me $350 AND actually fixed a few other things along the way. I will be a loyal customer to this guy, he takes care of his customers and runs a no BS business. I highly recommend you call him before you go anywhere else."

"Andy is awesome! The quality of work he does is incomparable. I will definitely come back to get more work done. He helped me with a custom axle back exhaust on my Mustang GT. Couldn’t be happier."

"Great experience, told him what I wanted and he gave me options at a reasonable price. Very happy with my experience"

"My experience at Andy's was excellent, I was very happy with the work and service."

"Great price! Excellent craftsmanship! Andy is a pleasure to deal with."

"I used to go to a shop in Clairmont all the time for exhaust and stuff done. Now Andy has his own shop and still does excellent work. If you need it done right you gotta hit him up. The welds are clean and his shop is well organized. It's not often these days you find a person that stands by their work. If the customer isn't happy he will try to make it work."

"Wow such great customer service and quality of work! Andy did an amazing job on my 2017 Toyota Tundra he replaced my stock muffler with a Magnaflow muffler. The pictures of the work speak for themselves, I'm a very picky person when it comes to work being done on my vehicles and Andy knocked it out of the park. Don't hesitate to do business with him. Thanks again Andy!"

"This review is long overdue. Andy did a complete rebuilt of my '65 Ford Thunderbird's exhaust system from the manifold on back. His work is top-notch -- super clean and built to last. The system looks and sounds amazing. I'm pretty picky about doing work on my car, and I'd bring it back to Andy any day. Beyond that, Andy is just a good dude, and his shop is a great place to sit and talk cars, welding, etc. Highly recommend."

"Great to see that Andy lives up to his stellar Yelp reputation. The grocery-getter needed some 3" exhaust love and Andy took the afternoon to get it dialed in just right. Not a finer bead to be found and his attention to detail would make a submarine welder jealous. The best part is that he does the right thing for the right reason and not necessarily in the best interest of his bottom line so rest assured you're getting great work for an exceptionally reasonable rate."

"Took my car to swap out the old exhaust to a aftermarket exhaust. It not no expensive set up. So I knew there was going to be problems. Y pipe was mis-algin and mid pipe was same. Andy made it work! Just cut and weld. Would recommend him to all my friends and family.!!! Hella friendly dude! Talkative and funny. HE beat any prices in San Diego I guarantee u guys"

"Came here to get resonators installed on my Lexus to reduce drone in the cabin. Andy was really nice and helpful! Despite being really busy, Andy took time on Sunday to get the resonators installed within the same hour I called. Best of all, the end result was a great exhaust note (no more drone) and an awesome price. Highly recommend coming to this shop if you need any exhaust work done."

"Andy is incredibly knowledgeable and has great advice. Can't say enough good things about him. I recommend him to anyone who needs exhaust work to see him. You will be beyond pleased with the quality of his work."

"Andy was a real cool guy! Very knowledgable and personable! No one was at the shop when i got there, so he put my 4runner on the lift right away. We went under the car and he walked me through exactly what he was gonna do. After discussing for maybe about 10-15 minutes, he gave me a quote and told me he'd be done in about 30 minutes. Suggested some spots to get breakfast and even let me use his personal car to get there while he worked on mine. I highly recommend this shop! My 4runner finally sounds as good as it looks!"

"Andy is one cool dude. Awesome work at a great price. A trustworthy veteran owned shop."

"Just the Best in the business!!! Andy has been only guy that has done any exhaust work on any of my cars since 1995. No gimmicks, no games, just good business! Does not try to up sale you on Crap you don't need, just gives you real advice and good results if you listen. Thanks Andy for everything over the years. Try him! You will be Extremely Satisfied!"

"Quick service, very reasonably priced. I brought in my brand new 18' Tacoma to get a Flowmaster 40 series exhaust dumped under the bottom of my bed. See attached pics. Clean work, and only took an hour! Good job Andy!"

"Just had some quick exhaust work done. I am very happy with the results! He was very quick to accommodate me, pleasant to work with and had great workmanship!"

"All I got to say is that Andy . He did an awesome job on my Ford Explorer sport . Andy had my old muffler off and my new on in about 40 mins or less . I know where to take my vehicles to for any kind of muffler work on me and my wife vehicles."

"Great shop! The owner is incredibly friendly and does awesome work. I went in to get a small repair on my exhaust done and my car was in and out in no time. Great prices too! I will definitely be coming back to get work done here. I highly recommend this shop!"

"Great shop, great prices, fast service, and good customer service. I wanted to make my truck sound a bit more aggressive and Andy got it done in under an hour. I was also being pretty annoying by trying to poke at my truck while it was no the lift and he was pretty tactful when telling me to stop. Lol!! This is my exhaust shop now, I'll be back."

"I recently went to Andy to fix my muffler. He told me it needed to be completely replaced, which bummed me out. However, Andy not only fixed it that same day but it was priced much lower than I expected. I also needed a new catalytic converter, and Andy again fixed it the same day I brought my car in and at an affordable price. This guy was incredibly personable, polite, and took a genuine interest in me and my car. He does good work and takes pride in his shop. Would definitely recommend to anyone with muffler, exhaust, catalytic converter, etc. problems."

"this is a veteran owned small business and andy is an honest, transparent, good natured, and hard working individual. ***call him and you will understand my position from the moment you talk with him!!!*** he provided excellent customer service and saved me time and money. what else could you want???"

"Great service here. My exhaust was getting extremely loud, and besides the noise it also affected the performance of my car. My close friend recommended me to Andy's and he diagnosed the issue gave me a call and a fair quote, and my car is sounding and running better than ever. His customer service was outstanding and that is hard to find now a days."

"I had the pleasure of meeting this guy, and I gotta say he did an awesome fucking job! I'm not from San Diego but I would definitely let this person work on my truck again, and he gave me a good price for good work. He's also a pretty cool dude, real down to earth. If you're looking for muffler service, this would be the person to call."
