I called Moises to get a quote for a catalytic converter replacement for a car that failed a smog test. I went in so he could take a look at the vehicle, he gave me a very reasonable quote, and said he’d order the part. He called me when the part arrived a few days later, I brought the car in and he had it fixed the same day. He gave me some great advice, recommended a place to get the smog, and the car passed with flying colors. I really appreciated his knowledge, honesty, and his quality work, and he’s super friendly. I will def return if I’m in need of ay of the service he offers in the future. I highly recommend East Bay Mufflers!

I got my catalytic converter replaced at east bay mufflers and had a really great experience working with them. I called them right after I figured out it had been stolen and Moises was extremely helpful. He communicated directly with my insurance company to get the repairs moving and to get the repairs done quickly. I definitely recommend coming here!

Moises is great! He gave me a fair price and even gave me a better price when another shop said they could do it for cheaper. If you have anything exhaust related take it to Moises!

Moises is a master welder, fast and efficient. East bay mufflers rocks! I highly recommend them despite the sketchy neighborhood. I felt confident in their work seeing the high end cars they were working on.

One of the best places, if not the best place to get your Cadillac Converter done. Great price, cares about the customer and gets it done quickly. Everytime I had to schedule an appointment with him he was able to accommodate me and what I needed. My truck passed smog and I would recommend this muffler shop to everyone I know and who reads this. Thanks Moises and East Bay Mufflers.

They made a very challenging situation a breeze to get through. Moises was especially helpful in explaining what was done. I would definitely recommend them!

Quick work by Moises! Thanks bud

I had excellent service at East Bay Mufflers. My catalytic converter was stolen and my dealership was going to charge me quite a bit more to have it replaced. Moises was very nice. He gave me pricing on the phone ahead of time and there was no change in the cost when I got my car back after about 5 hours. I highly recommend this place if your cat converter needs to be replaced.

Excellent customer service, responsive communication, and reasonable prices! 100% 👍

I recently bought a 2015 Dodge Challenger. I wanted it to sound like a muscle car so I needed to alternate the muffler. I did my research and decided to go with Flowmaster. Moises the mechanic was so helpful. I didn't want my car to be so loud that neighbors would complain. Moises suggested the 40 series so I decided to go with that. Today (09/13/24) I got exactly what I wanted. My car (Bruce Leroy) sounds AMAZING! The price was as expected, and as a woman I didn't feel taken advantage of. 10 out of 10. If you're looking for muffler work I highly recommend East Bay Mufflers.

Had a great experience here. The staff was communicative and very helpful in explaining the issues with my vehicle. I would recommend East Bay Mufflers to anyone.

Moises was excellent to work with—honest and trustworthy. He immediately identified that the exhaust smell I reported was due to an attempted theft of the catalytic converter. He welded it right away. I also had him service my 2021 Honda Accord V6, and everything was completed within two hours. I will be switching to Moises's business for all my future auto needs.

Moises was great to work with. Very fair price and fast turnaround time.

Moises was able to give me a great quote over the phone, confirm they had the part in stock & when I dropped my car off, it was ready in about an hour - exactly when he said it would be. I got my catalytic converter replaced and it came out to the cost he quoted me at over the phone. It was a great and smooth experience and lived up to all the other great reviews! I went straight to one of the smog check places he recommended and it passed. All within about 2 hours.

My catalytic converter was stolen last year when the part was impossible to get. After finally getting one after being on many wait lists, when it finally arrived, I brought it here to be installed. It did not come with an oxygen sensor, which Martin (very nice to work with) was able to order one for me for less than the prices that were quoted to me by the dealerand also quickly. They got the work done faster than expected and also installed a shield for piece of mind at a very fair price. Highly recommend!
