Affordable Mufflers & Brakes Inc.

Honest business. Gary did top notch work at a fair price. He even spotted another wear-and-tear problem with my heat shield and patched it up at the same time. Highly recommended and will do business with again.

I’ve been going to Affordable Mufflers & Brakes for more than ten years. A couple things you should know if you’re a first-time client: the work is honest and fair, and it’s first-come, first-served, so try to arrive before 7:30 am. I was first in line today and out the door with new brake pads in under 45 minutes.

Great first experience-Love a good recommendation from another local shop that did not do exhaust work.

Quick service, and communicated exactly what was wrong with my vehicle, what it would take to fix. Affordable, honest pricing and that is hard to find in a shop as a young female. Highly recommend!

Jerry was able to fix my 2004 Honda Odyssey the same day without an appointment. His fee was incredibly reasonable and his work was top-notch. I will never go anywhere else to have exhaust work done. Affordable Muffler is a phenomenal shop, trustworthy and
Exceptionally fair priced. A+++

Called every brake shop around this morning and he gave me an estimate about $100 below anyone else. Ended up costing well below the estimate(I thought I needed rotors and he was able to save them). Highly recommend my new mechanic. :)

We keep an SUV in the Asheville area to be used for towing our trailer when we take road trips. We hadn’t driven our vehicle for a few months & the brakes felt a bit off. My husband brought the car in for a brake inspection. He was told the brake pads & fluids were in shape and wasn’t charged a fee. We greatly appreciate honest, caring business people with heart. We highly recommend this shop for your brake & muffler needs!

Gary did a great job on my brakes. He was friendly & professional, fixed my brakes in a timely manner and his price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend him.

Came in from out of state because my brakes were shuddering, found a review on reddit and decided to give them a shot. Guy is straight as an arrow and ended up putting my can on the lift and telling me my options for no charge, knowing I'd never spend another dime there because his shop is 700 miles from our house. Can't imagine there's a more honest guy around.

Excellent experience! I arrived when they opened they got me in immediately n repaired all 4 brakes n rotors on my van in 2 hours.
Suk it Fred Anderson Nissan!

Been using this place for years anyone looking for the best most precise work should definitely get it done here hands down the best ever

The quality of work is second to no one else, the attention to detail well it reminds me of when I was young and used to go with my grandparents or parents to a shop to get work done. I have seen a lot of shops that slap stuff together and throw you back out on the road, and you're on your own. If you need any type of brake or exhaust work, this is the place to come to.

I called this guy about 7:45 am Friday morning in a panic. My muffle came loose and was dragging on the ground while I went up to Mission Hospital as my daughter was having a baby. He asked if I could drop it off so I was able to and get a ride back to the hospital. He called about noon said it was ready. I got over there and when I went to get my debit card. He said there was no charge???!!!!!
I told him I would at least like to pay him something but he wouldn’t take it. It was an easy fix apparently.
I was shocked at this man’s kindness and gratitude. This has never happened to me before. And usually if I do take my car to a mechanic, I never have gotten out without it being $100 or more not to mention the callbacks I receive from other mechanics saying that my car needs this or it needs that. I can’t express the relief and the blessing I felt today because of his simple act of kindness.

My car's muffler was loud and not being from N.C. I was not sure but, Affordable Muffler was highly recommended and for good reason, They are wonderful. They fixed my problem and the car sounds great again.

Thank you Affordable Muffler I will not forget your fair, honest Affordable dealings with my son's Outback.

I also HIGHLY recommend Affordable Mufflers & Brakes

I give this business a 5 star rating. Gary, the owner was pleasant, direct
and did only what was necessary to make my car safe for operating. And the cost was fair. I highly recommend this business.

Honest, fast and cheap!! Seriously don't give your money to any other shop!!

This guy is AWESOME! Got there 30 mins before he opened up shop on a Friday and was on my way out of town by 9am. He charged me $10 LESS to look at it and fix. The first place I took it to and charged me $50 to tell me to take it to a muffler shop. I got this service done 3 weeks ago and just remembered I wanted to come give him a review. That’s how good he is!!

Great service, looked at my brakes and determined nothing needed to be done. And did not charge me for checking.

Just had my Audi Q5 brakes done. This is the 4th vehicle that we've had serviced there. No appointments so it is best to get there early in the morning. They are honest, reliable, exceedingly reasonable in their pricing. Got a call before any work was done to make sure we were OK with the diagnosis. Oh yeah, we've always been totally satisfied with their work too!

Gary, is the best in Asheville, He will go above and beyond to see that you are taken care of and he will never miss lead you in any way. If you need muffler or brakes done he is the man to do the job. Stop by or give him a call today you will be glad that you did.

Came in for a silencer delete, and just like all the other reviews, an excellent experience, very fair pricing, works quickly and professionally. What a good dude and find.
