Had a great experience at Kar Tek for a muffler that had become disconnected and needed a new pipe piece. Repair was quick at a great price. These guys were recommended by three other shops in the area that did not handle muffler repairs, and I could tell they knew what they were doing. Very nice people too!

Can't recommend this place enough. I brought in a completely rusted-out truck, and they took me through everything that needed to be replaced at a fair price. John has been great to work with, and the team in the shop is very good at what they do. Eddie was also very helpful.
