Claim This BusinessLaredo Muffler Shop has been serving Austell and the greater south metro Atlanta area since 1982, delivering exhaust system repairs and replacements from a small locally-owned facility on Chapel Hill Road. With 205 customer reviews averaging 4.4 stars, the shop handles catalytic converters, flex pipes, mufflers, and resonators for foreign and domestic vehicles alike. Homeowners from Mableton, Lithia Springs, and Powder Springs rely on this shop for stubborn rust issues that stop other shops in their tracks.
What distinguishes Laredo Muffler Shop is the willingness to tackle jobs many competitors refuse, including severely rusted hardware that requires creative extraction techniques. The team works through lunch breaks to complete same-day repairs when customers provide their own parts, andlabor pricing stays reasonable even on complicated fixes. Owner Jim Laredo and lead mechanic Adan specialize in older vehicles, particularly high-mileage cars requiring exhaust work that dealers decline to touch.
Customer experiences reveal technicians who accommodate tight timelines. Dom described how the shop accepted his vehicle the same morning he called, working through their lunch hour to fix two completely rusted bolts on his wife's Chevy Sonic that an impact drill could not loosen. Nicola O returned twice for spark plug issues after the shop successfully repaired her exhaust the prior year. Kevin O'Brien received a catalytic converter replacement on his 1999 Avalon within hours, with a quote beating a competing shop's price.
Five of five detailed reviews mention specific repair outcomes, catalytic converters, flex pipes, spark plugs, completed successfully on the same day or within hours. Two reviewers note pricing transparency, while one negative review cites quote changes after inspection and unresolved check engine light issues.
