I recently took my vehicle in for some exhaust repairs, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. Why They Stand Out: Expert Craftsmanship: The quality of the welding and the precision of the exhaust fitment were impressive. You can tell they take pride in their work and don't just "patch" things together. Honest Pricing: The name says it all. They provided a fair, transparent estimate upfront with no hidden fees or "surprise" additions once the car was on the lift. Fast Turnaround: They understood I needed my car back on the road and handled the job efficiently without sacrificing quality. Professional Service: The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done to get my exhaust sounding and performing perfectly again. My car sounds better than ever and runs much smoother. It is rare to find a shop that combines this level of technical skill with great customer service. I highly recommend Payless Muffler and Brakes to anyone needing exhaust or brake work! Check out before and after pictures!

We took our older Honda Accord to get the muffler and exhaust repaired. This family owned local small business and it's qualified mechanics were so kind and helpful! The car was finished in 3 hours, and I picked it up right away. Zero stress and reasonably priced, without any pressure to repair more than what was needed.

First time coming here! I was greeted by Henry, who was super friendly. Juan was my mechanic who is very kind, honest, and knowledgeable. Super fast services. I came in around 9am for my brakes to be changed and all four brakes are changed basically within an hour. Very reasonable prices!! Definitely will be back in the future! Come here for your services!!! (:

My car kept making a droning and screeching noise and I stopped in here because a family friend referred me. Emre was very helpful in explaining everything and cost was very reasonable. Glad I came in here and left with my car in great condition

What an awesome crew here. Came in with vibration and Mike the owner had juan and John jump on my work truck. Found bad rotors and brakes and even a broken shock on drivers side. Showed me all the damages and new parts. Truck stops on dime. With out a doubt a very reputable shop standing by their work and warrantee..thanks guys

Amazing price! I had an amazing experience at this shop thanks to Emre, the owner. First of all, Emre is cool as hell — straight-up honest, no games, and he genuinely cares about getting your car right without overcharging or pushing things you don’t need. I came in with a busted muffler and rattling pipe, expecting the usual shop runaround. But Emre looked at my Mustang, told me exactly what was going on, explained the fix, and got me back on the road without breaking the bank. The dude even understood how much my car means to me — didn’t brush it off like “just a V6,” he respected the build and treated it with care. This shop is rare — real people, real knowledge, and a vibe you want to come back to. If you’re looking for someone who actually listens and delivers solid work, go see Emre. He’s the kind of mechanic you stick with for years.

While visiting Chicago this weekend I parked my car in a lot overnight and someone attempted to steal my catalytic converter. Something that is very common in Chicago with the model of my car. It left me stranded in the city for another unplayed day. Couldn’t drive it back to Michigan. I waited to the morning to take it to a repair shop. After 4 hours the place didn’t even look at it yet so I decided to give Payless Mufflers a call. Not only did they check it out and diagnose the car within the first 15 minutes of me getting there, they got me in and out within 2-3 hours. Got to sit down and talk to the owner Mike. Listening to his stories after years in the car service industry I wasn’t as stressed out about the damage done to my car. I wish I would’ve went to Payless Mufflers as a first option first thing in the morning instead of trying to get it done elsewhere. They got me in and back on the road with a few hours of daylight left. Thank you Mike and family!! Just made it back home safely. I would highly recommend their service if you get in a situation like I did. If you own a Honda CR-V be cautious of where you park your car at night. The thieves come out when it’s dark and they will take your converter. Luckily mine was too heavy for them to snatch off. Still did $900 worth of damage but I’ll charge it to the game.

Car had a landing check engine light. This place does free inspections and they were able to diagnose the issue and then fix it within 2 hours. As soon as I walked in they explained their process and even broke down how each part interacts and how and what to do to keep it from failing in the future. Would 11/10 recommend to come in if you are having any issues

They replaced my flex pipe. Emre was great; showed me the issue & kept me up to date from ordering parts to replacement. My car is quiet once again.

Just had my flex pipe replaced here and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The team was upfront, honest, and efficient — they explained everything clearly and didn’t try to upsell me on unnecessary work, even though some of the surrounding pipes had surface rust. The repair was done quickly and at a fair price. The car sounds and drives great now. I’ll definitely be coming back for future work. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Service and Quality Work! I recently had my muffler replaced at Payless Mufflers & Brakes, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to providing top-notch service. They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained my options clearly, and completed the work efficiently. The pricing was fair, and the quality of the replacement exceeded my expectations. My car now runs smoothly and quietly—like new! It’s rare to find an auto shop that combines expertise, affordability, and customer care, but Payless does just that. Highly recommend them for anyone in need of reliable muffler and brake services!
