What clients say about Rod's Mufflers & More in Dayton (IN)
My check engine light came on and car started acting really weird while on the way to Chicago, jumped off on the next exit. Looked up nearest auto shops and Rods shop showed up! Immediately drove down here in tears all shaken up and asked if they could take a look. They diagnosed what was the issue, told me the price upfront before any work was done and immediately got to work. Could not be more grateful to have had car issues at that point on the road to lead me to this shop! The staff and owner have been nothing but nice and accommodating towards me. Could not say anything but great things about this place, if you’re in the area or on the road definitely keep Rod in mind🩷
I first came to Rod’s 8 years ago and have used him for all my auto repairs since. I have never been talked to like I don’t know anything. Rod has always been professional and courteous. Anyone looking for quality repairs and staff should come here. I refer anyone who asks!
Very patient. Takes the time to explain exactly what's wrong with your vehicle, what it will cost, and why and never makes you feel stupid. Rare quality in a mechanic!
The people that work here were great and very friendly. Brought my car in for exhaust work and they did an amazing job, and even filled my wiper fluid for free lol 10/10 would go back
Very reasonable costs for a muffler repair. And Kayla and Rod went the extra mile, inflating the car tires and taking care of the vehicle! Had a great experience!
I had a 4 hour drive on Black Friday and a little over halfway, my car decided to leak all of its coolant! I stopped at the nearest gas station and had my hood propped open in the parking lot when the woman who works at Rod’s Mufflers walked past and asked if I was having issues. I explained what had happened and she said she worked at a place just down the street and told me where it was and I said, “I will be right there!” I went there and they got my car in right away and started working on it. They found the problem and fixed it for me all within a couple hours and got me back on the road! I am so glad she walked by at the moment she did! They were wonderful and friendly and professional! I definitely recommend Rod’s Mufflers.
We have used Rod’s services for several years now. He is honest about what needs repaired even if you are a woman and does not take ppl for rides financially and the work along with the cost is unbeatable! Rod pays attention to details that may make your car safer and lets you know when it is solid taking guess work off the customer! And estimates for what must be done to make it safe and what can be put off fixing for a time. My whole family has every bit of confidence in him!
WARNING! Me making this review is not me advising other people to do what I did. I live out of town. My motorcycle broke down somewhere down the road from Rod’s and they were not only kind enough to allow me to leave my bike on their property for over a week but one of the mechanics even hauled it all the way back to Gary for me. The receptionist was super understanding and Rod is one of the most generous strangers I’ve met. All in all, for such an unexpected situation, they went above and beyond.
I trust the work but I would pay double to not have to deal with that guy. A diagnosis of "electrical" is not a diagnosis that should be charged. Very argumentative.
A friend of mine referred me to Rod when my truck was making a terrible beeping after a Best Buy installation. I’ve now since joked with Rod about getting me frequent flyer miles as I’ve literally had 4 different vehicles in his shop over the course of 3 months! He has taken such good care of me and my vehicles. He has shared his story with me and inspired me to keep pushing on even when it feels I’ll just never catch up! The community needs more understanding and caring people like him and Kayla. I trust them totally to handle ALLL my vehicle needs. I love that he keeps the part to show the customer and goes into detail on explaining exactly what he had to do! Everyone needs to check out Rod’s Muffler!
Very honest, friendly staff. Service was quick, and pricing was good. I will definitely be going back for all of our repairs. I highly recommend this place!
Rod has worked on my charger twice now. Once to put in a performance muffler and resonated tips, and another time to true dual it with an x pipe and two mufflers. He did an excellent job and at a great price. I highly recommend!
Definitely coming back whenever I need to got my brake line job done fast even when he was fully booked and quoted me on some other urgent things work done very good and fast explained everything very good great communication
Thank you so much Rod for taking such great care of me!!! You are soo awesome!!!!! You are the best and much appreciated!!!! I will be telling all my friends about you!! Thanks again for squeezing me in yiur busy schedule!!!!!
My car broke down while I was passing through on my way from WI to KY and this was the best experience I've ever had for car repair. He got me in right away after I told him my circumstances.. He communicated with me every step of the way, got the parts needed, and got my back on the road as quickly as he could. I have never experienced such excellent customer service. And his prices were extremely reasonable, even though he likely could have charged me more given the fact that I literally had no choice if I wanted to get back home. He even messaged to check that I made it safely to my destination! I highly recommend this business!!!!
Rod is a magician. The exhaust on my car broke. Rod showed me the problem, and peripheral issues that could be affecting my car's performance. Very reasonably priced. When I got my car back, it was so quiet and powerful, I couldn't believe it really was my car and had to check to make sure! I thought I owned a clunker that I'd have to scrap or sell soon, but now I'm not so sure.
They were amazing and professional! They helped me with the best option to fix the exhaust on my Nissan Juke. I highly recommend them as I was completely satisfied with their service!
Starting last Wednesday, there developed a rattle on my undercarriage of a car I just got a month ago. Called Rod's. They put my car on the lift, located the problem in literally a few seconds, fixed it, and I was back on the road in less than 10 minutes! This is not the first time I've been to Rod's, nor will it be the last, if the need arises. Good people, good service! Thanks!
Man this guy was busy and short staffed and he still did the job after going too 5 different shops for something as simple as welding an exhaust hanger back on! He told me too come back an hour later with my car and it took him a total of 6mins! Hard worker!
Besides them doing a great job for me, for several years in the past, I went in for a small job and my cash fell out of my pocket, they called immediately to find the owner. I love and appreciate their honesty! Truly a good place to get your car fixed for many jobs!
Doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to motors. Maybe he should take the "more" part out of the name. Brought by car in because it was blowing out white smoke from exhaust and engine was making a ticking noise. He diagnosed my car, saying 3 cylinders were only 90psi. Talked to some people and they were surprised at diagnoses. Father picked up car from an hour away and brought it back to his house. He did the compression test, same test that was done at this place. All cylinders were firing around 200 psi. The guy I dealt with at the shop said I needed to rebuild engine or replace it. After my father further investigated he found the timing chain tensioner broken (ticking noise) and the PCV system was blowing oil into combustion chamber (white smoke). Also when I picked up my car at Rod's engine was knocking at start up. When I got home and got into garage the engine was smoking. Whoever screwed my radiator cap on had cross threaded it leaving a 1 inch gap spewing smoke out of it. Like I said maybe this guy is good at mufflers but I wouldn't recommend him to anybody after this experience. He's dishonest and can't even screw a radiator cap on. Don't know who these other people are giving him 5 stars but it's beyond me.
Lying thief!
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT!?
Messed with wrong person! Told my son his engine was bad and needed replaced, for 5500.00 plus 1500.00 labor! They said they did compression test and never did!
Don't mess with a real mechanics son!
LIARS!
Engine just needed new timing chain tensioner! 30.00 plus labor!
Stay away if you don't want taken advantage of!

I made an appointment for a complete tune up and oil change but arrived a little later than I expected. He still was able to get me straight in and taken care of, no hassling around. I bought my truck used and come to find out this was the FIRST time it has ever been serviced. Thanks to Rod, now it's riding so smooth. I'm very impressed with their timeliness and professionalism.
My car broke down on the way to Chicago for an internship - I was in a super tough spot and Rod came through for me. He was able to diagnose my car quickly, let me know it was going to be a long job, and recommended me to an Enterprise where his customers get a discount on car rentals. He found a second issue after he originally diagnosed my car/gave me a quote, and was still able to keep the total under his original number. He even came in on a Saturday so that I could retrieve my car. Fantastic customer service and extremely reasonable prices.
Great place to do business with! Good service, great price and you never feel that you wish you had gone somewhere else. Made to feel right at home and everything explained to you so you know exactly what is going on. They just earned a customer for life and I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Thanks Guys!
Always great service. Never had to take my vehicle back for the same issues. Awesome feeling that they do a good job and have reasonable prices. No rip-offs here. Thanks.
Impeccable service, genuine GOOD guy, willing to right the wrongs of other shops who totally took advantage of me. I will Never visit another shop again, Rod has a Customer for life out of me, I will definitely return for ANY work that we cannot do ourselves. Thanks so much Rod, you're a stand up guy
