Ed Hanson has been around for over 50 years. That alone is amazing. That says a lot about their work. Top quality stuff here. The workmanship is some of the best I've seen, my HUGE issue here is the the way they quote jobs. I've brought a few cars here and EVERY TIME I been specific with what I want. I give them the Vehicle Make/Model/Year/Engine and ask them for a quote. They last vehicle I brought in, they quoted me $1700 for a full 3" dual exhaust system. I figured based on other shops (and this one) that quote might end up creeping up to $2,000. Well after I get my car towed there from my home, 25min away, they take a look and tell me it's going to be $2700 for a full exhaust. What changed? Well the guy says "well it's a little more expensive for a 3" dual exhaust" Yeah, not shit. I mentioned that on the phone that I wanted a 3" full exhaust. "It's a tight bend around the rear end so we can't bend that, we will need to get a u-pipe and cut and weld it". No shit, you guys been doing this for 50+ years, my car is just as old as your shop so I know you've done 3" exhaust on these cars before. Why wouldn't you know this? I HATE it when a shop quoted you one low price to get you in, and then jacks up the price once it's there. Ed's has NEVER stuck to their initial quote. I been quoted $950 before (final bill was $1368), been quoted $1200 (final bill $1690) and this last one quoted $1700 (final bill $2664). I would rather a shop tell me $2200-$2800 and then charge me $2600 instead of telling me $1400 and then charging me $2,000. $2,000 is cheaper BUT just give me an accurate quote and stick to it or below it. Again, their quality is good, but for a shop being around for over 50 years, you would think they could quote a job accurately by now and stay within that quote.

I took my F150 to Hanson's Muffler with an exhaust flow issue at the muffler. Met with Joe and he took care of the problem with a solution that improved exhaust flow and sound. Truck purrs like a kitten and this shop exceeded my expectations. You get what you pay for at this place. Jim S

I had my pipes installed at Ed Hansen's and was thoroughly satisfied with the quality of work. Ryan took great care of me and went the extra mile to help me with other issues on my 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88. Thank you!

Brought my '98 Z3 into EH - an hour away from my home, at the recommendation of our BMW mechanic. Couldn't be more pleased how fast, efficient they were. Unfortunately, the cat replacement wasn't the only thing that held up our smog certification. They're sister shop does exhaust/emissions work, and they were also fabulous, helpful, and ultimately successful. Can't recommend these guys (and their whole group) highly enough. Though out of the way (Spring Valley), they are real pros and worth the travel time. Side note- When I questioned their work (due to failing the test), they walked me through their work, and showed me exactly their work. They're pro, and worthy of 5 stars.

Great quick and affordable service. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. I replaced two mufflers on my Camaro that had gone bad and they had me all fixed up with new ones in less than an hour.

Great place to shop for groceries and food to sit down and have a conversation in their inner food court.

This place is the best in San diego! Took my truck in for new cats and an exhaust system. Dropped it off on a Friday and it was done by Wednesday. Quick turn around and very fair pricing. I really appreciated the daily updates. Everyone on their staff was excellent. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I was a 25 year customer that happily referred others, but in the past 3 years the ownership has changed and with the new management, I feel like nothing more than a money bag to them (2 out of two re-visits under new ownership). No more warm fuzzies just cold reception. I traded with them one last time. The quality was good as always but it was very pricey and I felt like I was giving money to someone that held me in great disdain. Since then, I found El Cajon Muffler and Air Conditioning (a solid 5 star vendor) and it was Happy Days Again. Ross the owner was a big Ed Hansen fan. I loathe giving poor reviews (l have tons of 5 star ones out there) but the new “Hanson” made me feel loathed as a customer. Am very sorry to have made this review but felt it was appropriate.
