Michael is a very nice person and a great mechanic. He addressed the needs of my vehicle and answered all the questions I had in a way that was very easy for me to understand. Overall a very pleasant experience. I will be returning here when my car needs more work done. Also the owner Sam was very helpful. These guys really care and genuinely want you to have the absolute best experience possible

Michael is honest, fair and a hard worker. Service was great and timely. We have gone there for a cup holder issue and brakes. Had an issue with the new brakes but he fixed them at no cost to me and made it right.

I broke exhaust pipe hanger and put a hole in it off-roading. Technician at Muffler & Cat placed new section of pipe and welded pipe. Very satisfied.

Michael was very helpful over the phone and in person. I was shopping for breaks and I decided to try a new place based on the reviews and my experience over the phone. When I took my car in, Michael took time to explain exactly what my car needed and he quoted a reasonable price. He didn't deviate from the price he quoted on the phone, which some places tend to do. The workers were pleasant and didn't appear irritated or in a hurry, which is common now days. This business also has good hours of operation and reasonable appointments for people who have to work during this pandemic. For me, the flexible appointments were a plus. No one wants to work past 5pm or weekends anymore, but for those of us who have to work a regular job, Muffler & Cat Depot is ideal. I will definitely be back.

I had my brakes fixed. Mike was so helpful and explained to me very well. With my groupon he still gave me additional discount! Awesome. Christina was so helpful in getting my next schedule for air conditioning check up! I will definitely refer this place for car services! Good Job guys!

They also have another name, Escondido Auto Repair. Do not come to this shop. They put a bad alternator in my car and I had to come back a couple days later because my lights would flash on and off. When I came back for them to fix it, I came back a little earlier than they said it would be done. He said it would take longer because the next alternator they got also didn't work. I don't know where they buy from but the parts they purchase could be bad. Originally was told it would take 2 hrs and 45 minutes, nope over 4 hrs. Do not come here if you value your time. Look at the Yelp reviews for this place, you'll get a more accurate understanding because you get a discount if you give a nice review. This place is not it.

The employees are approachable and kind, quick with the inspection and service, and honest and reasonable with the quote for service. We were able to get an appointment ASAP to bring our car in and broke down the quote for us so we understood exactly what we were getting serviced. Thank you Muffler & Cat Depot!

Omar was very helpful and concise with the services requested and the cost. Also, I did not have a scheduled appointment but they still was able to fit me in on a busy Saturday morning. I will be going to them for regular maintenance on my two cars.

Great experience. Came in at 1 pm without an appointment and needed brakes. Got all rotors replaced and all pads replaced picked it up at 5 pm. Excellent job. Price was great. People were great. I think I found my go to mechanics. Thanks guys.

Mike is extremely knowledgeable and knew just what to do to repair my exhaust that needed welding at the resonator/pipe connection. If you need any exhaust system repairs, Muffler & Cat Depot is the place to go.

You could not ask for better customer service. They were incredibly responsive and I would highly recommend using them for any of your exhaust needs. I've used dozens of shops in Northern CA over my 20 years of car customization and the responsiveness, quality, and care that they put into the job is as the top! They treat you like an actual person (that might sound weird to some, but if you've ever had a bad experience somewhere you know exactly what I mean!) Mike and his team know EXACTLY what they are doing and execute to perfection! FIVE STARS!

Great service on my car. Work I had done on my car were front brakes, rack and opinion, starter and ignition switch replaced. And power steering pump. Oil change. Very honest place. Mike is the best. I highly recommend this place for your repairs on your vehicle.

I flew in from Ohio to help my Mom. Her 96 yr old boyfriend was in hospital. I needed to get starter replaced on his car and her car serviced. Michael was very helpful and took care of car that day! Place was clean and shop was hopping. I noticed many other customers coming in and being helped in same way. Full service facility. Totally would recommend 😜
