This morning I took my 2008 Nissan Versa into the Nissan dealership in Brandon for an oil change and because it was making a very loud noise/rattling. I normally dont get my oil changed at a dealership, but because of the noise I thought it would be a good idea to take it there plus its very close by. Now, when I got there they were great. They listened to me and I explained that my car sounded more like my husbands sports car with an aftermarket exhaust on it - not the way my car should sound - and so I thought it was likely an issue with the muffler. I was thinking that maybe Id hit a bump on a road and popped something loose. I dropped my car off and did a little research on issues with my make and model. Apparently the metal used for the exhaust and muffler has a tendency to rust over (which is an issue in and of itself) and people have had to get them replaced sooner rather than later. People were saying that it was generally a $400-$500 fix, so I was bracing myself for the worst. About five hours later I got a phone call saying that, yes, my exhaust was in fact rusted and broken and that it would be $2,200 to fix it. Now, this is about 25% of the value of my car so naturally I freaked out. Fortunately my husband is fairly handy with cars and had actually changed out his own exhaust on his car when he got it, but since we live in an apartment complex its been more difficult for him to do auto work. He said that he thought he could get the complete system for under $400 and replace it himself. He ended up calling Huff Muffler in Brandon and talking to the guy there. He explained it as best he could not having seen anything more than the photos that Nissan took and emailed to me so that I could send them to him at work. He told my husband to bring it in and that it was likely going to be about $100, but at most $250 to repair the exhaust. I took it in and showed them the pictures. They said it would be a $40 fix and would take them less than 30 minutes to fix. Nissan wanted to replace the entire system when only one part needed to be repaired. My car sounds perfect again. They do all kinds of repairs and maintenance including oil changes and what not. They are family owned and operated and they are AWESOME. I highly, highly recommend them. They are family owned and operated and will help you with all kinds of problems. Support our local businesses and see them if you need something done.

When the welding on my header broke off and my drop pipe came loose I called Huff Muffler and got great friendly customer service and a rough estimate right over the phone. A few days later I brought my 98 Eclipse in and spoke with Dustin and John. After putting the car on the lift they thoroughly reviewed what I wanted to do in addition to fixing the header welding and gave me a more-than-fair quote. The level of service was unreal. It really reminded me of when I was a kid in my dads shop and how he treated his customers. Not only did I receive amazing customer service, a fair price, and an amazing new custom exhaust, it was finished in just over 24 hrs. I really appreciate the entire experience and I will not only visit them again for future repairs, Ill also recommend them to anyone who expects their mechanic to take care of them and do the job right and fair. Thanks again Justin, Dustin, John and Huff Muffler!

My a/c was blowing inconsistently with cold air. I took my car to a bigger well known auto shop and they said my switch and relay needed to be repaired and that the charge would be $300. Huff Muffler was recommended by an employee of Auto Zone so I decided to get a 2nd opinion. I called Huff Muffler twice and the customer service was excellent and he gave me his opinion and asked me to bring it in this afternoon. When I got there, my car was looked at within 30 minutes and fixed with 45 minutes for $100. He took the time to explain to me what the relay does and what he did to fix it, which I appreciated. My car did not need a new switch, like the other shop told me. The staff at Huff was super friendly. I really liked that it is a family owned business and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Honesty in the auto repair business is sometimes tough to find but I did find it here which is so refreshing.

I know how to work on my own cars, so i rarely need a mechanic, however i stopped by there today to get a muffler delete done on my 2016 Charger. I could have maybe gotten it a little cheaper elsewhere, but in the end, where most shops would have wedged in a straight piece of pipe and filled the gaps with weld, Huff took the time to custom bend and flare 2 new pipes and make it look professional... and they were still done in an hour! They were fast, knowledgeable, organized, and their work area was the cleanest ive ever seen even if their building looks a little old from the outside. While waiting i could hear them explaining to other customers about their cars problems, and they were very honest and didnt try to upsell any unnecessary work to anyone. I would recommend them to anyone looking for fair and honest work. You seem to get what you pay for here.

Update: Went back after a horrific experience at Jiffy Lube right down the street. There fixed my issue in less than 5 minutes. Jiffy Lube was telling me it was all sorts of issues when in fact they disconnected my Accelerator cable and tried to say it was coincidence that my car was having problems after an oil change. These guys will take care of you. They are awesome! My previous review was 3 years ago that you see below. These guys know how to run a no nonsense car repair shop. Do yourself a favor and check them out! No nonsense repair shop. These guys are professionals and very customer centric. If you ever had a fear of being ripped off while getting your car repair, than I highly suggest you go here. You will never feel that way with these guys. This is now my go to repair shop.

Incredible service at Huff Automotive - the people working there were professional and friendly and had me standing under my car (IS-350) to see exactly what was needed before the job was done and to see the finished work after all complete - in about 30 minutes. I damaged my muffler/exhaust pipe several days ago and the dealer wanted to replace in full for about $1200. Justin and his team did a thin slice in the pipe, the alignment was able to be pushed back - he welded to perfection - and the price tag was $44. I will definitely return to Huff for my future auto needs - now back to driving to go biking without hearing the rattle and exhaust noise from my car! Thank you again, Huff Automotive for a job well done. You guys are great. -Brian
