Jerry is great! I went for the first time and got several ideas on how he could help with generator noise on my RV. I’ll be back to do some work!

Bare bones muffler shop located in an industrial building. The facility was clean. The waiting area is very, very minimal. They provided a good estimate of the cost upfront as well as how long it would take and they were good to their word.

Lara"s Muffler shop is HANDS DOWN the right place to get your work done at an honest and reasonable price. Had my 2007 Honda accord catalytic converter stolen this morning and became overwhelmed by how much detail there is to know about replacing your catalytic converter. When I first called, I was exceptionally educated on this topic by the shop receptionist. I eventually got a quote that was a few hundred dollars less tgan the previous shop I had called. Convinced that this shop not only knew what they were talking about, byt they treated me with the out most respect and kindness. Jerry fixed my issue and still took the time afterward to explain what else I needed to do with the state, to validate the work done on my car. Thank you, Jerry! You have made a lifelong customer in me for your professionalism, respect and kindness. Good job!!!!

I was recommended Lara by another garage.I Had a problem with my Flow-Master. They suggested a couple of mufflers. I was totally satisfied by their work and attitudes. I'm sending my friends and family. Jerry and his brother are super. They had a mechanic there that very nice to. Being nice and standing behind their workmanship really means something to me. The place is looks old, but they know what their doing. This is the First I meet them, not related and not paid to comment. I have a 1500 Dodge Hemi.

Jerry is the go to man for all your needs. He helped out from the beginning to the end in a speedy and professional manner, despite the trouble we encountered with the insurance carrier. Can't thank him enough. Will be recommending for all vehicle needs! Thanks Jerry for all the help.

Hate dealing with car repairs, but this was a truly wonderful experience. Jerry was so gracious and courteous. I paid half of what others quoted me. The service was fast and my jeep runs great. TY so much Jerry

Extremely disappointed. I was recommended by someone that I met at the muffler shop. I needed to improve the strength on one of my leaf springs, just one of them. The guy in charge told me that he wiould add a leave to reinforce my leaf springs for $500.00. I asked him why so much. He said, well, I have to measure, cut, polish and install. Isn't it part of the job to do these steps? I couldn't believe that this guy wanted to rip me off so badly. I make this comment because before I went to this place I priced the leaf springs at a local store and online. The price was around $200.00. None of the set of leaf springs that I found were even close to the single leave that he wanted to sell me for $500.00. A full set. Not a single leave. I am talking about left and right complete leaf springs set is only $200.00. Fortunately I did research and I avoid giving my money away. Avoid this place.

Great place. Great people. I dont usually write reviews, but this place was so good I have to tell everyone! My car was done exactly at the time I was told it would be. They stayed open past normal closing so that I could get there to pick up my car. AND IT ENDED UP COSTING ME LESS THAN THE QUOTED ESTIMATE!!! And it was all done with a smile. I appreciated how everything was explained to me too. What was done, why it was done, and even what I need to do now. I will never go anywhere else again. Thanks guys.

Amazing service. Had gone to a different shop, told me the gaskets were bad, here at Lara's I'm told it was the flex pipe, 30 minutes later my exhaust sounds pristine. Taking my truck in tomorrow to get that taken care of too! 100% recommended. Prices are great too!

Great place, I've lived in the area for a long time and came over here for a quick fix on my exhaust tips. Price was a little high for what it was, but understandable, the guy's running a business, not a charity. Price was especially worth it because they perfectly leveled the tips and I couldn't be happier. I've had other shops do other cars of mine over the years and this dude got it perfect right away. Worth every penny.

Brought in my antique 1957 Jeep FC-150 for repair of a broken exhaust pipe. Jerry had me fixed in 20 minutes for a very low price. I'm very happy with the service.
