Testimonials

On 7/27/2026 Tim T. had this to say:
Brought my older car in this morning. Some rattling and clanking especially when I hit bumps in the road. I thought the hanger supports were gone. Had 2 cracks in the exhaust pipe. 1 on the flange , the other on the short tube which they cleaned up both and welded. I appreciate how friendly and fair all their guys were. In and Out in about 1 hr +. As I had several customers ahead of me when I arrived. Price was quite reasonable. I also had them quote a price on exhaust & Catalytic converter replacement which I will need down the road. Just a ballpark for future. I examined their work. They do good work. Im going back to them in future. I also sat in waiting room and talked to a guy who's had them do brakes several times for his car. He praised their price and work for that. Good to know. RECOMMEND!!!!!

On 7/21/2026 Stacey Rodak had this to say:
Oxbo was great to work with. My 17 year old son brought his car in to have his exhaust looked at since it was loud. They said it had a small leak, fixed it for a very reasonable price (we were told by other repair shop it needed a new exhaust $$) and he was out of there within the hour (two customers ahead of him otherwise it would have been sooner).

On 7/21/2026 Kevin had this to say:
I got custom exhaust work done here including replacing my catbacks resonators with a xpipe and high flow cats installation. They did really good job becuase no issue with either and holding up very well
