The Muffler Center in
Austin (MN)

Top notch shop! They've made many repairs to our vehicles.

I recently purchased a pickup that developed some engine and transmission related problems. These guys were able to quickly pinpoint all the critical repair issues and explain the options to repair it. If you are looking for a reputable auto shop, do not hesitate to call The Muffler Center.

I would recommend these guys to anyone! Mitch was very open and honest when he told me what all I needed done to my car. He explained everything in detail and did not treat me like, “a women not knowing anything about vehicles.” He also told me what I needed to do now versus what I could wait on. Mitch gave me a quote and it ended up being the lowest quote he gave me! I got my work done right away and my car runs better than ever! These guys really know what their doing and treat you with respect! I will be back! With sincere gratitude, thank you so much Mitch and crew 😊

My car had been running a bit rough, then the check engine light came on. All codes looked like a new catalytic converter, around $700 plus labor. Figured I would take it to the expert for this, sure glad I did. First thing he told me to stop running the E85 gas. Well that turned off the check engine light. Next we changed original spark plugs in a 2014 equinox with 145,000 miles... yep that made a difference. Then we ran some cleaners through the system. I am no longer doing an oil change every oil change!!!. No catalytic converter needed, and saved me money. Would recommend these guys all day long.

We were on a trip from Oklahoma to Minnesota when the apparently more rusty than I knew tailpipe broke on our Chinook RV. No one in Albert Lea would help us so I called The Muffler Center in Austin as they were the next town on our route to Millville. They got us in as soon as the truck that was on their new 15,000lb lift was done. The owner worked on our RV because all of his guys were busy on vehicles that had appointments. They set me up with a complete new Walker muffler, a custom bent tailpipe, and even dressed it up with a nice stainless tip. All for a reasonable price. This was all at a moments notice on Friday July 12th 2024. Five stars.

Very impressed with Mitch at The Muffler Center. He offered me a free inspection, cut me a deal and my vehicle was done in a day. Fantastic customer service and I would recommend this business to anyone!

I can’t express how good Mich and his team are at this local shop! Not only is their work top notch, but the customer service part of it is even better! Strongly recommend Mitch and his team for all your exhaust work and air bag needs! Thanks Mitch !

Came to install a Borla exhaust on my truck . Was exactly what I wanted and sounds great. Mitch and his team were very understanding and helpful with questions. I recommend if you need quality exhaust work done, come here. They will take care of you. Good prices and service. 5 stars

Mitch understands the science of performance exhaust systems. Meticulous work. Good fit; excellent performance. During a recent trip to California and back, my best average mileage was 27.3 mpg. See picture, for average milage to Rochester and back; 37.4 mpg.

Recently just had my exhaust done with Mitch and his crew at The Muffler Center! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars but it’s all google allows. This is my second time using them and both times I had ZERO complaints! The welds are outstanding, the attention to detail is wonderful and the customer service is far superior to any other shops around. There’s a reason I drive an hour to get the work done! I look forward to doing plenty more business with Muffler Center from here on out!!

Very nice people and he truly knows his stuff… I was satisfied with the service…and as a woman I don’t know much about cars but he was able to explain in a way I could understand… reasonable prices and great work… definitely recommend…

Make sure you come here it is the best spot And they definitely treat you right

Mitchell and the team were great! The exhaust needed to be replaced on our SUV and of course it happened just a few days before going out of town and we were so glad they were able to get us in right away. Customer service was top notch! We’ll definitely be using them again!

I don't think I've ever smiled so hard after turning the key after other mechanic shop visits. Completely fixed my muffler noise, and for even less than quoted on the phone. From almost needing ear plugs when starting it, to thinking it's a totally different vehicle. I can't thank you guys enough.

These guys did an amazing job on my Ram! Mitch quoted me one price and it was significantly less then quoted. I’m extremely happy. I would recommend these guys to anyone!!

Great service, great people, and best of all COMPLETELY AFFORDABLE!!! He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with his product and I couldn't be more happy with my experience!

Wonderful, friendly service. All work is done as scheduled and completed in a timely manner. All the techs are extremely competent and consistently do top notch work. I highly recommend them for any sort of auto maintenance you may need.

My husband stopped in to see if they could fix a UTV muffler that needed welding. They said absolutely! The repair was done speedy and was done better than how it came from the factory. You will not be disappointed with these guys!

Extremely Happy with The Muffler Center! These guys have great customer service and work hard for their customers. I valve their expertise and dedication to customers. Highly Recommend!

I had the boys lower and align my Colorado. I've never been happier! They even surprised me with a tailpipe that gives my truck the finishing touches. They found some issues with prior work I had done elsewhere. My ride has never been better. You got my business.

Want to say thank you for the great service!! Needed a major engine repair and so glad I chose The Muffler Center to do the work. I was kept informed throughout the headache of vehicle warranty and repair was made faster than expected with a great price!! Definitely recommend for any of your car needs

Had a loud muffler that I thought needed to be replaced, so naturally figured I was in for a big bill. I explained that I’m on a budget and anything they could do to repair the existing one would be greatly preferred. They came through! They fixed the muffler far below the cost I was expecting and it sounds as quiet as a church mouse when I step on the gas! Honesty goes a long way in the auto repair business cause it’s so hard to find. I can say with all certainty that I’ll be back. Thankfully they’re a complete auto care center so I can go there for any and all car issues! Thanks again Muffler Center!

Another shop did some work on our van and did not do it correctly. Was able to drop it here, they looked at it within 30min and gave me a solid game plan on how to move forward. They are very confident with their work and know how to do it right

My first choice is most often to "buy local" with both goods and services. The Meyers et al. make that a brilliant choice when it comes to car care. I asked that they repair what needed to be repaired in order to make an old vehicle safe and road-worthy. That is what they did, and they did so quickly, accurately, and at a very reasonable price. THANK YOU, Austin, MN Muffler Center!!

Great service and decent prices. Drives so much smoother than before...thank you! Highly recommended for vehicle repair services. Good timing on getting it in and done too.

I had a stripped lugnut on my vehicle, I called them and asked if they were able to help, they asked me how long it would take me to get there since they closed at 5. I got there and they came out and looked at it. Went and grabbed a couple sockets and tapped one on there and it came off with ease! They were very friendly and helpful.

We had an error code come up on our van as I was about to head out of town. One call to The Muffler Center and they got our vehicle in right away, gave me a ride to work and had our issue taken care of in just a few short hours. We couldn’t be happier with the work that was done and how we were treated as customers!
