Shaffers Muffler & Automotive

Shaffers supposedly fixed the radiator in my Toyota Camry but it ended up failing after one month and only a few drives. Once it got out on the highway in Austin the car started rattling and the lights came on which led to a pretty dangerous situation as I was fighting traffic and making sure that my car would not stop in the middle of 290 in Austin. It was a very temporary fix and there was no guarantee or refund. The car also had less than 100K miles on it so should have lasted longer but the engine was totaled by the time I got it to the new mechanic. The manager or owner said it, drove off his lot fine but clearly at faster & higher temperatures it failed. I would avoid this place for major repairs in the future, the only positive is that they took my car in right away and communicated with me early on.

Super 40 baby, in and out in 35 minutesI always use Shaffers!!! For the past 22 years

I came in and got a quote from Jeff and Gary to cut and replace my exhaust from just behind the Cadillac converter all the way back. I provided them with my own muffler so it was basically just pipe after that. They did a awesome job and I’d say I’m happy with the price. I’d recommend these guys for sure and if you guys are reading this thank you. The 4runner sounds 100 times better

Had about 3 days to move to Milton for flight school and needed a hitch installed on my crv asap. Though I had to go to Honda to get the parts quickly, Honda offered to install them in 5-7 hours for about $500-$700 for labor. I was talking to Shaffers the entire time and they said they could do it much faster and much cheaper. They got it done in about 3 hours for less than $200. The next day I got my uhaul trailer and had issues with turn indicator fuses. I called them up we were able to fix it with their help. Great service at a great cost.

Needed a quick weld job on my catalytic converter air tube. Was helped by Mr. Joe Medina, who handled my car with great speed and even better service. Super-friendly folks. Would definitely use them again!

Chris and the guys went above and beyond. They are definitely passionate about their job. I cant recommend them enough!

This is the best automotive shop in Corpus. A while back I ran over a chunk of concrete on the beach in my 95 Trans Am, denting the exhaust underneath. It sounded funny after that. I took it to Shaffers and they had it fixed in 10 minutes at a super reasonable rate. Very happy. Now, my Mopar 11 broke a timing chain and bent valves. Lithia Dodge wanted $10,900 for a new engine. Shaffers fixed the engine in less than a week and modified the exhaust for me. It runs and sounds better than ever. Again, super reasonable. My mechanics for life. (I wonder if they do body work?)

Just left Schaffers Muffler and I am very satisfied with the service. My muffler was making loud noises and as soon as I walked in, I was greeted and they looked at my vehicle right away. I was informed right away what was causing the sound. They took care of it in less than an hour and I was on my way. They are very professional and friendly. I would definitely take my vehicle here again.

Stopped in to get a look at a ln exhaust issue.. quick response. Thanks Dennis!

They were very informative professional and quick. The technician was very precise about making sure the tail pipes were completely even I was standing there watching the whole time. He wouldnt give up until he felt it was just right. I really appreciate that he took such pride in his job but but more so to make sure I was happy. My Camaro is my baby and I try to make sure it always gets the best work done on it. I was very pleased with the job very well done. My car sounds awesome just the perfect sound. Definitely recommend this shop for the job well done.

Chris the manager, terrible attitude I wanted to look at my vehicle to see if the roters where actually as bad as he said they were and honked at me with another vehicle swayed his hand and told me to go sit down and wait for my vehicle to be done. I would never do business with them again

Just want to thank Mr Joe Medina. he took care of truck(tacoma) and my son. he installed a catalytic converter s for my sons truck In no time. Joe went out of his way to call me in san antonio to keep me inform and updated..and even called to make sure my son got back to san antoinio texas safely. even though the inssurance gaves us a fee headaches! Joe kept a very professional status..thank Joe and his team. job well done and awesome customer service. best regardsjohn a garzasan antnio texas

These guys are ABSOLUTELY GREAT. They have great service, very very affordable prices & their work is top notch.Recently had them work on my broken exhaust flex. Not only did they do an amazing job, they gave me a very great price. Quite frankly after checking the competition, I can say, there is no competition but this isnt just in price, its in time and service as well. They were able to service my vehicle in a timely manner, with great results VS another shop that cost almost twice as much & would have taken extremely long compared.They followed all the protocols regarding COVID, gave speedy service & handled my car as if it were one of theirs. Im completely satisfied & would absolutely go back for the multitude of services they offer.I highly recommend them.

*** Extremely disappointed ***My husband brought his truck here this week for help removing his old exhaust without causing damage to the sensors.When asked if they could do this they said yes, and they told him itll be under $150.A few hours go by and we hadnt heard anything. So we decided to drop in and check out the progress. Turns out they broke the two sensors my husband was worried about. One they were able to fix, but not the other. Now were stuck trying to find the part, and getting quotes of $300+ just for the part.They shouldve been honest from the beginning if they didnt feel they could do this without causing damage. That way we couldve made an informed decision if we still wanted them to try or if we just wanted to do it ourselves.They ended up charging $175 and never discounted their work or offered to help reimburse for the damage they caused.I normally support small businesses, but not if this is how they do business.Avoid this place.

Long story short, I took my truck in to get a problem fixed. $900 later it’s still doing the same thing and they bent my front right tire cover. I had to take it back and all they did was drill a hole in the front right tire cover and ZIP TIED it to my frame. I absolutely do not recommend them and will never return.

I called afor a quote for installing a part for my exhaust, I took my truck in, and 30 minutes later it was done. They did a great job, I would recommend any service Shaffers to everyone.

Went in with an oil leak and I told them it may be a bad gasket. They ended up switching a sensor and charged me $462. Car still leaked, l went back and they said it was, of course, a bad gasket. They wanted to charge me another $400. No thanks. Save your money and learn how to fix things yourself.

Great fast friendly service, went in with a muffler tied to to the car and no bumper after hitting a curb, took them about an hour to fix, take off broken muffler replace with a new one for a reasonable price definitely a blessing while at the end of our family vacation and funds were low. Will recommend, hopefully not needing to go again but I know oIf we have car issues on vacation again this is where I will take our car!

Ive gone in to have a Corsa external Exhaust system and cold air intake installed. The gentlemen in the front was very friendly, worked around my crazy work hours and got the job done quickly. The service is unbeatable and the pricing is great! I would highly recommend this place! Wonderful staff and experience!

Very good service here, Hit a Speed bump and broke my exhaust pipe. The shop gave me a very competitive price and had the pipe welded back on in less than 30 minutes. Will definitely return for when i replace the entire system.

They are amazing!!! Outstanding customer service, great prices, and top notch workmanship.

As a woman unfortunately sometimes you are assumed clueless when it comes to cars, but everyone here has always listened to me and treated me with respect. Very friendly and super nice over the phone. They are accommodating and explain everything thoroughly. They have no problem giving you quotes and doing only what you ask for. Definitely recommend them!

Needed a skid plate to protect my catalytic converter. For an extremely fair price (jaw droppingly so), they manufactured, installed a skid plate and then even painted it & etched my VIN into the converter.Im actually a pretty tough customer .. the kind who expects a sizable bang for my buck(s) ... and they more than delivered. I was almost in happy tears because the minute I walked in with my concerns, they educated, discussed, and treated me with the utmost professionalism.Family owned business, and it is telling! Forget the corporate businesses and support families like this who have the kind of business values one expects as a customer. Great folks!

Shaffers has done quite a bit of work for me they are excellent mechanics, good at diagnosing difficult to find mechanical issues. I felt like I got competitive estimates and the work didnt cost more than they said. I also really like the guys that work there.

Used to get my vehicle inspection done here and after like 2 years of dealing with that rude guy that works in front, I decided to go somewhere else. Most places won’t charge if your vehicle fails inspection. This place does. You would think that guy up front straight up hates business the way he talks to people. Haven’t been back since. Go somewhere that appreciates your business.

I am a disabled Veteran living on a fixed income and went without the A/C in the truck for sometime and in South Texas that is not a good thing. Finally had saved up a little money and with my Doctors advice went to have the A/C fixed. I picked a shop that I have been familiar with since 1977 or 1978 When a wrecker service I worked for did the towing for this shop. Towed vehicles into their shop on and off for more than 15 years. I even carried their business cards and always recommended them when someone asked if I new a reputable shop.I took my 2004 Dodge Dakota SLT 4 door with the V8 engine to them to get the A/C repaired. Talked with the people I know and explained the whole thing. Very little money, fixed income etc. They said they would take good care of me. When the estimate was done it was going to be around $1600.00. I did get 10% taken of as a Disabled Veteran that was a good thing. So I told them to go ahead and fix it. I was a little leery of the diagnoses and the price but the system had been down for some time and I know a little about A/C repair as I have done some in the past. But hey I know these guys they are friends I am going to trust that they know what they are doing and they are being fair with me. They fixed the A/C and all I had to do was bring it back once so they could do something to an air door that was not working right. They did it and I told them it would be a little bit but I would bring the Chevy Aveo in as its A/C was out as well. Things were good or so I thought. Read on!When I took the Aveo in I told them that it had been working as my son had ought one of those cans of Freon and adapters to fill the system at Wal-Mart and the A/C would work for a while before it would quit again, so I figured it had a little leak. They said they would look at it and let me know. I told them I cannot afford another $1600 dollar JOB as I really did not have much savings let at all after paying them to fix the Dodge.When they called to let me know how much it was going to be the first thing that I was asked is if I was sitting down? That right there told me that I was not going to be able to get the cars A/C fixed. Good thing I was actually laying down as he told me that it was the same thing basically the whole system needed to be replaced and it was going to be $1200 dollars. I told him that there was NO way that I could do that kind of price. He told me I could come and pick up the car no charge for the estimate as I was a good customer REALLY I thought!!! dont worry it gets better read onI took the Aveo to a different mechanic that I know and asked him to look at it and tell me what was wrong and how much to fix it. I told him what Shaffers had said and how much they wanted to do the job and he said he would check it out and get back with me. He called me the next day and told me that the only thing bad was the expansion valve. Thats it nothing else whatsoever. And that he had already fixed it so I asked him to repair the rear door handle which I already had the replacement in the car. He agreed to and did so. With parts and all total was less than $200.00 Total before taxes!!!My concern is that if Shaffers wanted to replace my system for $1200 and the only thing that needed fixed was the expansion valve. HOW BAD DID THEY SCREW ME ON THE $1600 JOB THEY DID ON THE DAKOTA??? The problem is that I will never know because it has already been done and there is no way to find out. I am glad that they only screwed me on the one vehicle and were not allowed to take advantage of me on the second. If they treat someone they have known for so long and someone who over the years has sent them a lot of business how do they treat others?

I was in and out quick. Only spent $60 to get my resonator deleted off my car

Bad customer service. Trys to take advantage of customers inexperience.had a muffler put on that I brought in. all went great. We return 20 mins later after not getting the sound we wanted from the new muffler. asked about removing the resonator, and was suggested we put an exhaust tip on to get more sound. We agreed we could try it and if didnt work then remove the resonator. I asked why they were going to cut the strait pipe to put the exhaust tip on and the front counter guy didnt like me asking and I was told that he cant help us then. and kept telling us he did this for 40 years.I asked a simple question and was told he cant help. very bad customer service.will not return!!!

Brought my 12 stang 5.0, friendly as can be. Did great work!!!!!awesome advice and did just what I asked of them. I would recommend to anyone. Took their timeAnd did it right and even included me in any changes that came about. Overall great experience and I appreciate it.

They did work on my car and Im very satisfied..I would definitely recommend them

Wish I could give zero stars. Dropped my truck off here for an exhaust leak. Unfortunately my command went on detachment for two months and I was out of town. They told me I needed manifolds. I approved the work and picked the truck up the day I got home. Tried opening the drivers side door and the fender was bent so bad that I couldn’t get the door open. Wasn’t like that when I dropped it off. Had to climb in the passenger side. When I finally hopped in the drivers seat the ignition guide was broken off and laying in my cup holder for me to fix I guess. Wasn’t like that when I dropped it off. Started the truck and drove it off the lot and the exhaust leak was as bad if not worse than it was before. Felt like the truck was running without a turbo. Took it to a REPUTABLE diesel shop and had them look at it. They had to replace the up pipes which were supposed to be replaced with the manifolds which I asked Schaffer’s to replace with the manifolds. They also had to weld shut the HOLE in the cylinder head from Schaeffer’s torch when they were struggling to get the manifold off. Of course, Schaffer’s never mentioned that. Took the truck back to have them at the very least fix the door so I didn’t have to climb over the passenger seat, they claimed to not know how that happened. On top of all this, they charged me the same price as the diesel shop to destroy my truck while replacing the manifolds and not solving the exhaust leak problem vs. fixing the hole in the cylinder head, replacing the up pipes, and unf*cking my truck from Shaffer’s. This place takes advantage of their customers, disrespects military members, and is expensive compared to other businesses. Stay away.

Shaeffer’s Muffler shop treats their customers with respect and have professional technicians. I take all my auto issues to this business and I have never been disappointed. Dennis runs a good shop and the mechanics make sure the customers are satisfied.

I usually go to Flanagans on Port for exhaust work. I decided to try Shaffers Muffler shop since its closer to my home. Well these guys didnt disappoint me. In fact I was very happy with the results. Professional work looks great and she sounds mean. I would highly recommend Shaffers Muffler shop on spid next to Bill Millers bbq. The muffler guy knows his craft very well. Thanks again !! Hope they enjoyed the donuts I took them this morning.

Highly recommended for your automotive needs.

Monday June 03-2019 I had Shaffers install dual exhaust on my 2015 Tundra. (500.00 )Today (01-11-2021 ) I stopped back by to see if they can reweld the hanger to the muffler that broke off.This guy Mark refused to help me out and do the right thing. At the time the owner was away on family business. I plan on going back when the owner is available. If good customer sevice exist there, Iam hoping Shaffers will do the right thing and repair the weld ( 2 minute job ) if that.

Had my Ac serviced here and they had it ready the same day! Would recommend this shop to anyone looking for great and knowledgeable service!

These guys are awesome. Super fast turn around times. Much appreciated

Awesome fast, friendly and professional service. I have had custom exhausts installed on two vehicles here and and very pleased with the quality job performed on both! Thank you Shaffers!

HEADS UP:They will lose your warranty for your AC repair so they wont have to honor it.

I always have a good experience with Shaffers. Anytime I need exhaust repair for any vehicle, I have them do the work. Trustworthy and honest work.

This shop provided excellent customer service, and awesome mechanical expertise. They will do the job right and at an affordable price, and leave ya driving off with a smile. Highly recommend !

These guys literally tried to charge me over 1000 dollars for something my friend mechanic fixed perfectly for a couple hundred dollars. Also they charged me 180 for an ac refill and my friend said they didn’t even do it.

I went in to have my ac charged... they were quick and very reasonable on pricing. I most definitely will be returning for any of my auto needs..

Good honest man.. great fast work and they always do my vehicles up right. Dont charge an arm and a leg and offers honest quality work... my go to place!!!!

Brought my 5.0 in to get my exhaust fixed, the guys that are there were extremely helpful, respectful and just great all the way around! I will definitely be going back!

Couldnt even clean up the welds on exquast for what I paid looks like they take no pride in workmanship and they installed headers and didnt take into consideration that the steering shaft would be rubbing so now turning is harder would never go again lost my business indefinitely for 1500 I paid I feel burned

Great work when I have modifications I need done.Also helped me find a random piece of metal from previous exhaust work year ago rattling around in piping.

Great Service! and Completed work on my car, very happy!! thanks guys keep up the great work!! Very affordable pricing!!

Fixed brake problem , but caused another issue, charged me an additional 100 bucks. So I had to pay for their mistake. Not happy.

They said i had a manifold leek i check it did not have leek.then they said it was leaking wear the pipes v together i check it no leak so i fond leek it was just a leak in a weld he was going charge me 2300 dollar.It was fix for 250.00 down the street.

Overpriced go to Flanagans. Sales rep was cool as hell but mechanic had no sense of urgency and didnt seem like he enjoyed what he was doing.

I 100% recommend future customers to use this shop. They are honest, knowledgable, and price their work fairly. I will be a returning customer.

Great service. They have taken excellent care of my vehicles for years! I highly recommend them.

Took my car there to get fixed they replaced the radiator..it still had a leak and the guy told me it wasnt a leak and like i was making things up and he was going to start charging me to even look..because they pressure ran it already and he had other stuff to do and dont have time to look at mines when there is nothing wrong.when i took it to dealer ship sure enough there was a leak still..

They can’t show you what flow masters will sound like on your vehicle but the Longorias in kostoryz can

The worst people I have ever dealt with.. there are 2 mechanics that are named Jeff & Mark that are rude and do not like dealing with women.. they talk down to them and make rude comments.

They are great prices and their work on my truck was done great. Great job guys

Great service and friendly staff. Work was done on time and professionally.

Neal was great he knew exactly what I wanted and 30 minutes later my suburban sounds like a beast.

The owner was friendly and respectful and his manager was very helpful and polite

THE worst place to get ANY work done!!!! They charge 3 times the price everyone else and are SUPER rude!!!! Dont waste your time, money or effort with these people.

Replaced my driver side catalytic converter. Dennis Berlanga was great, honest and professional. I will come back again.

Did a wonderful job on my hubs repairs and reasonably priced as well.

I took my wifes Jeep Wrangler there today and thought it would cost $ 1000.00 but Jeff came through. They fixed it for just $200.00. Ill always use Shaffers.

Great prices, great work and treated with such great respect!! I recommend them to anyone!

A little pricey but prompt and good work the company i work for has used them for years

After reading reviews i will take my car to the dealership....i know there you get a guarantee and they diagnose the car and give you a price before any work is preformed....

Went in for an oil change... I was in and out in less than an hour... they always treat me well there...

They are great. Did wat I needed done for great price

A friend of my sweet deceased husband who advised me what was wrong with my car. Thanks Dennis
