First experience with Oxbo was bringing the church’s van in for a cracked exhaust pipe.Drove in, they looked at it within minutes in the parking lot and identified the problem immediately.You can tell when someone exhibits knowledge, confidence and professionalism. This place has it.A few months later I needed an exhaust for an older Ford passenger vehicle. Called them up, gave them the vehicle details, and they said to drop it off the next day and they could get it done. It was a simple job for them because this is what they do.When up on the lift they identified a brake hose that was causing a drive wheel to hang up which I suspected. They showed it to me and said they could fix that too. Done!When I brought it in, it was actually two weeks after I was supposed to.I called at 3pm and they said they close in about 2.5 hours. I was 20 minutes away.I pulled up, left it running, they had an open bay and put it up on the lift.Great job. Hard working men who know their stuff. I recommend anyone to use them.Fair prices, expert work and great knowledge!Job well done.
The employees at oxbo were really friendly and quick. The price cannot be beat youll never have that feeling like someones trying to take you for too much money. Been going here several times and havent been disappointed yet
They are courteous, honest and knowledgeable ! Very reasonable prices ! They repaired my muffler and my car is so quiet ! Thank you !
Very nice people and good work, muffler was replaced in a day with a great price!
Honest and fair mechanics, which is very rare.Have brought many vehicles over the years and they continue to be top notch.
I called the shop asked about have 2 new catalytic converters put on and they told me they would be able to get off the broken studs from my old catalytic converters, so I dropped my car off the next day and they did it in less then a day . This shop is professional and will get you in and out as quick as they can . The prices are excellent as well . I will definitely be going back to have more muffler work done by them .
It’s so hard to fine honest ppl an the that do amazing work these are the guys to use fair pricing quick service well worth the drive from the city to do business with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best service I’ve ever had. The workers were very professional and kind. Highly recommended!
Great prices, great workmanship
Ive been going to oxbo for years.. always great work and great prices.. best custom exhaust fabricators around
I like this place. They did custom exhaust for me. For reasonable price
Exhaust broke on 6hrs into an 18hr trip. They had it fixed in under an hour and was back in the road at an incredibly reasonable price. Would recommend!
Thank you for the great service and price.
Fastest service Ive had in a while I rate 10 out of 10
GREAT place to get work done, More than mufflers.!Ive been doing business with Tony and his crew for 10+ years. LOVE these guys. Trust them with everything 100%. Fair and honest!!
My first visit to this establishment went well. I got my muffler welded on my ‘08 Lancer in less than 15 minutes for a very good deal. However this last visit was different. I went into the shop today in hopes of getting my down pipe on my ‘88 Porsche 944 welded. I was refused service. When I questioned why, I was told they don’t do that kinda work. They refused to even look at the problem. My guess is they didn’t want to work on the car simply because it was a Porsche. I would think because it’s an older model it shouldn’t be a problem. But I guess not. I don’t know what their deal was but now I know not to take any sports car here.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I dont believe all these great reviews came from previous customers. I brought my car in for a quote on labor to install resonators on my 3 exhaust. I would supply the resonators. They informed me that could actually do it then and they claimed to have AP Performance resonators which I was going to purchase anyhow. I had them install the resonators that same day. I requested they supply me with a receipt that stated the part number from AP so I knew what was on my car, and they did. The next day I was on the highway and I noticed a difference regarding reduced acceleration and my dash was showing reduced miles per gallon at high speeds. I got home and looked closely at the work they had done. What I found was that they intentionally used the wrong parts because they dont even stock 3 resonators I found out later. I looked on line for the part number and found no information. I called AP Performance and the part number on the receipt wasnt theirs (it did say AP on the receipt). I also realized that they modified a 2.5 muffler and forced it to fit the 3 exhaust. I called and asked for the manager. Terry came to the phone. When I explained the situation he said come back and Ill make it right. I told him that Id supply the resonators and all Im asking from them is to remove their wrong materials and install the correct material supplied by me. I didnt even ask for a refund for the mufflers they originally charged me for. He agreed and we made an appointment. Terry did a fantastic welding job after making me wait 6 hours. When completed, I was handed a bill for the installation. I questioned Terry about Ill make it right and he told me Im just a welder here, youll have to talk to the accountant. I had paid for installation the first time. I asked if theres a manager on property at any time and said NO! I went home and pulled up their website to find the only contact information was the phone number to the shop I was just at and an email address. I wrote this information in an email and never heard back from them, its been 2 weeks now. BUYER BEWARE because if you use this place they will put anything on your car to get your money. BTW if you have small kids I wouldnt bring them because the language being yelled from the shop area was so bad that I was embarrassed for them when female customers came in. I was in the construction trade and the Army so Im use to Adult language, but they were over the top like a bunch of 15 year old boys with no adult supervision.
In and out quickly. Very fair prices. They could have fixed what I thought was the issue, and charged me a lot more, but instead they fixed only what was wrong. Honest shop that knows what they are doing. My new go to place !!!
Brought my old car in with a new muffler in hand. The guys were able to put my car up on a lift, evaluate the situation and determined they could save most of the rest of the exhaust They welded the new one on while I went and had a beer down the street. This was all done quickly, professionally and at a great price.BTW it was done almost a year ago and the car is still going strong.
Best muffler shop ! Tony and his crew are great and its the only place Id go to for custom exhaust .
Great place. I had them do some muffler and pipe work for me about 6 years ago. They did a great job. This is the second time that Ive need muffler work. They did a great job again. I would recommend them and I will continue to use them.
They do great work for a decent price
Love the work they do, great price, my dad let them do all his work even on his classic 1960 Cadillac they put duals on every car he owned👍👍
Courteous and timely service.
They did some custom work for my challenger and it came out perfect, had it done. sounds loud and nice, Definitely recommend this place
Ive had 2 experiences with them. One a 5 star and second a 4 experience. Their prices are reasonable and the work they do is good. They can do custom work if needed. FOLLOW UP: I had issues with my second trip there.. dropped off my car for them to tighten some loose bolts only to find they did nothing. I guess thats way Ive seen all new faces the last two times. Time to find a new muffler shop.
Good prices, good service and fast, even during COVID craziness. Take your vehicles here, theyll take good care of you.
Great Price...Fast Friendly Service!
Great customer service, not a long wait time, and a reasonable price.
I just needed rear brakes done. On the drive home my brakes were squeaking. I took it to another shop who told me they did a horrible job. They just slapped brake pads over the roters without cutting them or replacing them. And they messed up the calipers when they replaced them. I had to pay an additional $800 to fix their mistakes. I will NEVER take my car here again.
Nothing but respect and appreciation for the crew at OXBO! 1st visit, referred by many, terrific job (welds, not clamps), the estimate was the price I paid. Thank you so much OXBO, you have another repeat (and will recommend) customer.
Awesome place. Quality work at reasonable prices. They did a quick repair for us when we first bought my sons truck. We drink decided what we wanted to do and they installed the exhaust we requested quickly and reasonably.I would highly recommend them.
Quick service but more important to me was their honesty which is tough to find when it comes to auto repairs. Did not try to sell me what I didnt need like my prior mechanic, and the price was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend.
Where to start... a few thoughts.- First, I like these people a lot and would highly recommend. I live in Darien and traveled to Joliet based on their Google reviews.I brought my RAM 1500 in after my dealer said I needed an expensive fix. I was asked to come back in an hour and 1/2 for an inspection and quote. Almost went some place else but am glad I did not because I found out later that my truck would only fit in one of the bays and it was occupied at the time.When I came back, they inspected and suggested the problem required a minor welding job ($40) and had it done in 15 minutes.I had my doubts when I first pulled up. It is a small place (2 bays) and does not look very pretty. Sitting in the office waiting for my truck to be repaired, the thing I noticed was the large number of people coming in and getting serviced. They have a very dedicated set of happy repeat clients.My sense is that they are honest and charge very reasonably. If you do choose to come there, dont be put off when you first see the place. You might need to wait a while as they may be busy. This will be my muffler place going forward. A diamond in the rough...
Had an excellent experience thanks to everyone here at Oxbo! Efficient quality work with fair and honest prices only help to make taking your vehicle here for service a must.I brought in a full header back exhaust, that I had trouble installing thanks to pipes not quite lining up as they should. They made short work of cutting, welding (well out of my wheelhouse) and making sure all of the necessary gaskets were in place to ensure I had a perfectly sealed exhaust system. Im back on the road with no check engine light(s) and an awesome sounding exhaust.I highly recommend having any of your exhaust issues taken care of at Oxbo. Please keep up the awesome work and I will only continue to pass along the good word! Thank you thank you
Very honest with good work. We were told it would be a few hours. Almost one hour later we were walking out the door, paying the quoted price. I recommend this place for all your muffler needs.
All businesses should be this good. Great staff, quick service and quality work. They made sure that I was satisfied with the job. The work they did on my grandsons lancer put a smile on his face. THANKS!!! AAA+++
This shop does great work.they get your car,truck,what ever you bring in a very quick,but professional manner.tony the owner,is very good guy,and takes pride in quality of the work in his shop.i would recommend this shop highly to anyone!! So thanks to Tony and his group of guys.their all good people!!!!!
I do not recommend this place! I did have work done here before to replace brake pads and rotors on a previous vehicle. So i brought it in here to replace both front and rear brake pads and rotors on another car. I purchased the parts and had them do labor work. Not even 2 months later the same issue comes up again. I went to a personal mechanic to check it out and they didnt put oil on the rear rotors like they are supposed to.. and wore down the new set of brake pads and rotors i had brought it to get replaced. They only put oil on my front set. This was done on purpose to have set customers to come back again! Mechanics do this to have guaranteed work. I do not write reviews, but this was a must! So uncalled for! Good prices but not trustworthy! I called it in and they told me that they would see how much i would pay to get it fixed again...? Therefore i would not invest more money than you need to.
Really helped me out In a pinch. Took care of me in a half hour for only $100
Just got my vehicle back from these guys. 5 stars all the way.Dealer (who I do like) said they would need to replace the entire exhaust because of how the parts are shipped in, but they recommended these guys since they could replace individual components. $93 out the door with a new resonator. Only suggestion is to call when the car is ready. Maybe I wrote my number down too sloppy, but I called in and they said it was good to go. Ill definitely be back. Thanks guys!
Was referred to this place, and they ended up being half the price of the corporate places and dealerships I got quotes from...
Came to Oxbo because of all the great reviews on Google, there is one bad one lol. Billy helped me out the first time with my wifes GMC custom exhaust, which another shop said couldnt be done! Billy knocked it out w/ fabrication and welding in less than an hour and showed be all work done, for a great price. I decided to also bring in my Ram for a full exhaust system install and Billy & Tony did a great job, again in no time at a great price! Ill definitely be back and will recommend this place to everyone, thanks guys! Mario
I was skeptical of these perfect reviews but this is definitely THE SPOT for any muffler needs. I walked out of here spending less than half of what I was planning to, so I tipped the guy. Couldn’t believe the price they told me.
Needed a flex pipe for a 2004 Toyota Camry $115. Good work, good price. This is my second time at Oxbo. As Arnold Schwarzenegger said - Ill be back.
Very friendly, one on one service. Kept us informed. Reasonable priced.
Fast and friendly service! They have a great team here. I drove past many shops to get here due to their friendly conversation on the phone.Update 12/12/20.Still great people to work with and they are Fast too!
Saw many good reviews for Oxbo. When my car started making noise, my dad told me to take it to them. Now my dad enjoys working on cars. If he recommends a spot, I dont take it lightly.
This is the only place I go for exhaust issues. I’ve been going to oxbo for the last 15 years and they’re second to none. The do great work, prices are fair and if you get there before they open they get you in and out.
Highly recommend this place. They were efficient, friendly and very reasonably priced. Work was completed in one day.
This place was great they got me in quickly and did a quality job.
Excellent service. Cheap and fast! Thanks guys.
Had planned to go to another local shop prior to this engagement. A friend recommended I try Oxbo instead. I walked away impressed. Good service, and quality work. I will be returning here from now on.
These guys are awesome and great to work with. They do way more than muffler work and always come in less than we anticipate having to pay! Thanks, Oxbo!!!
All three of my vehicles serviced at Oxbo. Top notch place. Today they corrected another Mechanic’s error (bolts loose) at no charge. Just plain ole good business.
Went in on a Saturday morning needing an entire exhaust system . Took great care of me, whole thing front to back was $250 and in and out in about an hour and a half. Probably would have been quicker if there wasnt another vehicle in front of me.
This place is a joke. Stay away the staff are completely incompetent.
Told me my brakes were fine and did not charge me for the inspection.
Great service, honest appraisal & they managed wait times very well. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of work they performed. Highly recommend this shop for exhaust work.
I was just in here today, 10/8/16, because one of the hangers for my muffler failed and these guys took care of me. Any time Ive had an exhaust issue Ive come here, even after I moved out to Montgomery, IL. There is no place that is more affordable, quick, or with better customer service. Always the place I recommend. You wont find a better price.
They were quick, did a good job, and didnt over charge me for the repair. Dealer was going to charge me $600, they repaired for $90. Shop is small but they get the job done!
I had the best experience with the service at oxbos the guys save you money with amazing knowledge, the dealership wants to take your money and time for diagnosis.I have a 2006 Infiniti fx45 and I work for local dealership service department. Oxbo guys saved me a thousands in repairs that the dealership wanted and said there’s no way around the repairs. Oxbo’s will keep getting my business.Thank oxbo’s you’re amazing
Had my Altima serviced here back in March. They did a great job, custom work at a great price. Rate was on point, much cheaper than buying aftermarket online especially considering the install time it would have taken for me to do it myself. I would be happy to go back there.
I’ve visited this location twice with two different vehicles and each time they have come back with damage. First was a Tiburon that was returned to me with all the hub caps damaged and unable to use because they would no longer stay in place. The second and most recent was a Ridgeline that was returned to me with three 12 inch scratches on the driver side. It looks like something was closed in the door because the paint in the door jam is warped and chipped where the scratches start. The staff have all been very nice and they were able to get my brakes changed the same day with no appointment. Unfortunately because of the damage done in the process I’m not sure I will be going a third time. Thank you for reading this review.
Always go above and beyond for customer service, as well as having the best prices. Recommend 100%
Very quick and decent service. great experience
They always do a great job. Never had a bad custom job from them.
I was quoted $1548 at bartels in Plainfield(beware) and Oxbo did the same work for $240. Fast, friendly customer service, too. Highly recommend these folks for any exhaust work.
These guys do good work at reasonable prices. They stand behind their work and are straight shooters. I recommend them to my own family and friends.
Professional Service, quick and efficient so far so good just had my car fixed.
I would recommend this place 100% staff is great. work is great. prices are fantastic. I will be returning again. THANKS OXBO
Very quick and friendly customer service. Definitely come back here if ever have any issues or in need of an upgrade. Thanks guys.
Needed to replace my muffler. Read their Google review. They truly are fair, fast, and affordable. I was in and out in less than an hour.
I went in there to get a new muffler, the price was great and I was in and out of there within 30 minutes.
Best muffler shop around! They do an amazing job at a great price. Been going there for years. Thanks Oxbo
They got my vehicle in right as they opened and was able to fix my vehicle within 20 minutes.
Excellent service and great pricing. Tony was excellent and their custom pipe bending skills are amazing
I have had three exhausts done by oxbos and Ive never had an issue with one of them. Also a great group of people to be around
Great place, youre in and youre out and they do a remarkable job five stars
In and out 45 minutes
Best place to have duals installed! They stand behind their work years later. I never go anywhere else.
I give them my highest recommendation, so quick and affordable. Theyve earned new loyal customer.
Took a car this morning to Oxbo in Joliet after my sons cars exhaust pipe became separated from the rest of the exhaust system. They had us out in about 20 minutes for an extremely reasonable charge. When we went there, we were concerned hed probably need a lot more done, but they addressed the problems and didnt try to take advantage of the customer like some places do. Places like this are worth their weight in gold because they only fix what has to be fixed and do it reasonably and promptly.
They are really friendly and took my car in immediately and fix it fast. Great place.
They do good work n prices r great i would recommend them to everybody
Wow, these guys are great!! Theyre fast and efficient. Highly recommended!!
Took my car to a muffler place near my house and they commented on how loud my car was and said there was a hole in one of my exhaust pipes - said it would be an additional $600-$700 to fix. Since I just spent almost $1000 on brakes and rotors, I decided to wait. A friend told me to go to Oxbo and I owe her. They had me in and out in less than an hour and for WAY less than the other place told me. They had my car running in the front and I almost tried to start it again because I didnt realize it was running - it was so quiet. Thanks guys -for real. So nice to go somewhere where I left feeling good about the experience!**Went back again for other issues and they are still awesome!!
Ive brought customers cars here for a long time and theyve always done a great job. Id recommend to anyone
They offer a great service at a great price. Best muffler shop in Joliet hands down.
They did a really good job!
They perform great work at a fair price. I was in and out at a decent time.
Brought in my camaro to get a resonator delete and x pipe put in. They got it done really fast and it looks and sounds amazing.
Phenomenal service, I recommend this for anyone getting any type of exhaust work done, as well as a few other services they offer!!!
Great work and great pricing on there work
I dropped my car off today (5/20/16) at around 10:30am. i recieved a call around 12:15 and my car was ready. VERY fast work. i had my resinator deleted, and some exhaust hangers repaired (my car is lowered). very fast work, and very good pricing. i checked the welds when i got home and they were perfect. VERY happy. would recommend this place for anyone getting their stock exhaust repaired, to a custom exhaust. perfect place with good, knowledgable workers!
Dude simply awesome I drive all the way from homer for honest hard working quality I was told about them 3 yrs ago and they have worked on all of my friends cars and all 6 of my work cars no brainier their the best in town and that I know of the whole state
Fast service reasonable prices
They did my truck my charger and will be fixing my old trans am exhaust. They do good work and fix there work no issue if it breaks in a short time! Go PR!!!!
