Great shop! They installed my aftermarket mufflers on my car! They did an amazing job at a fair price. I later brought my car in for a transmission fluid change, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend them to anyone needing work on their car.

I can't speak highly enough of David and his staff at Expert Muffler and Auto Repair. Unfortunately, I have had my vehicle towed to the auto shop multiple times over the past year (older vehicle with higher mileage) requiring repair and each time the issue has been resolved in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Furthermore, I have a job where I simply can't afford to miss ample time away from. During each repair, I have been able to return to driving that same day which speaks to the professionalism and expertise of the staff. To be noted, during my last repair, I did not incur any vehicle repair cost as the part was under warranty. The transparency offered was appreciated. There was one time where I had to take my vehicle to receive a diagnostic workup from the dealership (perhaps the shop was busier that day) and then promptly brought it back for repair with the specific issue identified. As the new year looms, I will happily continue to use his shop for auto repair needs while I reside in Tacoma.

Absolutely the best auto shop from yacoma to Olympia. This crew definitely knows what they are doing and are fast, efficient, professional and fare. You cannot beat this quality of work and service. I spent 6hrs trying to fix my exhaust leak and yes I may not have had all the right tools but the effort was tremendous. I was dreading calling a shop but was referred by a friend to Expert Muffler. A quick phonecall and dropped off next morning had my car fixed in an hour and the price was extremely fare. I can't show my appreciation enough and will be referring anyone I know to this place. Thank you again 🙏

They're as honest as they come and they get the problem right every time. If you're in the area I highly recommend this shop. Also very affordable compared to other shops

Couldn’t ask for more—honest folks, fast service, and fair prices. Not to mention great customer service—David stayed late so I could check out and pick up my vehicle right before closing rather than waiting until the next day. He didn’t have to do that, but it was very appreciated!

Excellent fast, reasonable same day service & repair. The owner David is also very nice and straightforward. Only reason for the 4 stars, is the lack of customer service and rudeness from the younger guy who works in the office area. He knows nothing of customer service. You’re supposed to completely finish with a customer before answering several phone calls & helping other customers. Those phone calls and other customers should have been put on hold, until you finish with the initial customer. Having to wait 20 extra minutes to be able to leave (after paying), because of him, then to be spoken to rudely after doing so, is asinine! Hopefully they consider teaching him some lessons on customer service. Then again, I’m not surprised. I believe it’s cultural behavior. Very impatient, pushy—lacking manners, although you’re spending your money with them. I’ve seen & dealt with it many times from this group of people. Other than that, I’d definitely recommend this shop,

I'm 67 years old, and I've brought my cars and trucks to David for repairs about 15 years ago. I wish I had known them back when I was younger. These guys are amazing, honest, and trustworthy. The mechanics are expert, and they backed up the expert business name. I'll bring in my vehicle, and when they perform the diagnostic test, I will guarantee they will find the solution, and it'll be fixed. Believe me, they are paramount in fixing cars. I wish the business name is titled with a prefix: "Expert Auto Repair" and Muffler, instead of Expert Muffler? It's not like they are hurting for customers, but could you imagine if someone googles Auto Repairs in Tacoma instead of Muffler Repairs? I teach welding at Bremerton Olympic College, and I have my welding business, Rosario Sound Welding. It is rare for me to find the time to write a review, but David's crew deserves remarkable recognition. Thank you, David and your crew. I sure appreciate the quality work you've done for my entire family. Sincerely, Dwayne Rosario

I’ve taken my vehicle 3 times - they always call me the same day with a diagnosis and repair costs. Transparent and straightforward.

Go to any other place and give them their business, but not here. Paid my amount just to get my car towed after I signed it off to them. This is ridiculous.

Insanely reasonable with their pricing and I generally see a 1-year warranty label on my invoices so I know they stand behind their work. I even know someone who moved to Seattle and she still brings her car to this shop because of their quality. Thank you David and team for taking car of my cars.

A trusted recommendation introduced me to Expert Muffler and Auto Repair, where David, the owner, quickly alleviated my engine concerns with expertise and care. After dropping off my vehicle at 8am, I was impressed to have it serviced to perfection and ready by 1pm. This business truly embodies a winning combination of professionalism, affordability, efficiency, and transparency, making it my top choice for automotive maintenance and repair.

You will regret taking your car here. They act nice. Then you realize it is overpriced and the work is terrible. But if you only care about a nice Asian salesman, this is the place.

I took my car into David’s shop on the advice of a friend who has been going to him for about 15 years. My car had been to 2 different Les Schwab stores after O’Reillys had found that a rear SBS sensor was faulty. Les Schwab couldn’t find a problem on their machine, cleared the ABS and anti-traction codes, and gave it back to me as fixed. The symptoms became more severe over the next day to a point that I had no power and my brakes were clunking. I limped my car over to David as a first time customer and I was amazed at how busy he was - thé first positive sign that he could help me. I really appreciated their honesty that they wouldn’t be se to get to it that day and the next day, David called to tell me what he thought it was and let me know how much it would be. He also let me know he would be making sure there was nothing else going on after he installed the part. It was a relief to know that he was taking ample time to diagnose properly and thoroughly. Only under $300 and another mechanic could have easily tricked me into having several things fixed for so much more. David uses language that tells you he knows what he’s doing. “90% of the time it’s this.” Rather than fixing everything it might be and getting your bill up into the thousands of dollars. David, in my opinion, is a perfect mechanic for anyone who doesn’t have a full grasp on car repair. His staff are also wonderful with the public. 100 stars!

You can't go to a better mechanic. Best prices, knowledge, and skill around. Dave knows what he's doing. Been to him many times. Once had to tow my car from a different shop to his shop because they couldn't figure out what the problem was. Dave was able to correctly diagnose the problem in less than 30 secs while my car was still parked in the turn lane on the street. He will show you the cost of parts on the computer. Downside is lack of parking space, but that's because he stays so busy with so many happy customers. I've never heard a customer unhappy with him. One time I over heard him tell a customer their motor was done, but it wouldn't be worth replacing because the car wasn't worth the cost of a new motor. He was very honest and told her it was better to put that money towards a new car. Many mechanics will just convince you to spend all your money with them, often on repairs you didn't need. I will never use another shop again. I've sent many people to him and all were very happy with his work. Thanks for being so knowledgeable and honest, Dave!

Okay, I honestly thought there was a chance some of these reviews were scam reviews or similar, since I thought there was no way reviews could be so uniformly excellent. I just brought in my '00 Toyota, a vehicle that many shops won't even look at for repairs due to age. I'm on an very low fixed income, so had to call and see if they could give me a rough price range over the phone. Again, something a lot of shops won't bother with. Not only did they give me the info I needed to raise the money and schedule, but the price quoted on an unseen vehicle was spot on. These guys really know their stuff. They remembered me from the call; I brought the van in and they fixed it the next day, within an hour and a half. The price was substantially lower than both other shops in the area, and the cost on parts if I were to have attempted the repair myself. Staff were friendly, experienced, and accurate on all information given. My vehicle is running smoother and more quietly than it was upon purchase. And the parts have a 1 year warranty! Honestly, I'd be hard pressed to imagine a better experience.

I ran across this place online after trying to request a quote from Bucky's in Fife ( which they wouldn't give me ) and Im so glad I didn't. I called this place after driving by because it looked super busy. The guy that answered the phone said bring your car back in 30 minutes we'll get you in.. I was stoked..! My car was up in the air within about ten minutes and the exhaust / muffler tech David got right to work after asking me a couple questions. The quote he gave me for service was the amount I paid and he finished 45 before he said he would be done... Five stars for 5 thumbs up. Thanks guys... All my services needs and my recommendations will be coming in your way. Thank you...!
