Muffler Repair

Muffler Repair and Exhaust Service in Harrisonburg, Elkton, Warsaw, Lynchburg and Kilmarnock, VA

Located on the underside of your vehicle, the exhaust system is responsible for collecting and directing harmful emissions away from the vehicle, reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment, and minimizing engine exhaust noise and force. The exhaust system is composed of pipes and tubing designed to streamline vehicle operation while maximizing vehicle performance and efficiency.

Signs your vehicle may need muffler repair or exhaust service:

  • You hear excessively loud noises during acceleration as these noises may be a sign of holes or cracks somewhere in the exhaust system
  • There are rattling noises when starting the vehicle or excessive idling, as this may be a sign of failed or broken hangers
  • You feel drowsiness while driving, or notice sharp odors as these may be serious signs that fumes are leaking through the vents and into the cabin interior
  • The muffler or exhaust pipe is dangling lower than normal
  • You notice signs of rust or cracks in any component of the exhaust system, which indicates corrosion

    The role of an exhaust system is not just to dampen engine sound, but also to redirect dangerous fumes away from your vehicle. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless chemical that may escape from an unsecured exhaust system. If the carbon monoxide is breathed in it could cause incredibly severe health hazards. For your safety as well as the safety of your passengers, it is necessary to have your exhaust system inspected and sustained on a consistent basis. Effectively working exhaust systems can also assist in protecting the environment from unsafe emissions released into the atmosphere.

    Muffler repair or exhaust service will likely include:

  • Inspecting that mounts are safe
  • Inspecting exhaust pipelines to ensure there are no fractures
  • Checking the catalytic converter - the devise that redirects dangerous emissions
  • Evaluating oxygen sensors
  • Checking exhaust manifolds and gaskets for wear
  • Inspecting the muffler for indicators of rust or wear

    • Why muffler repair and exhaust service are important:

    Maintaining routine exhaust system services will help keep all your exhaust components, like the exhaust manifold, front pipe, downpipe, catalytic converter, and muffler, working efficiently. Routine maintenance on your exhaust system will save you from having to replace the entire exhaust system down the road.
