What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We put the vehicle on a lift and inspect the entire exhaust path from the manifold to the tailpipe. We check pipes, the flex pipe, catalytic converter, resonator, muffler, hangers, and clamps for rust-through, cracks, leaks, and loose hardware, then give you a written rundown of what is solid and what needs attention.
