This family owned business is very good. I stopped by and made an appointment to have the muffler replaced. They called the next day and had the parts in before my appointment was due. I stopped by after work and they removed and replace my muffler within 30 mins. Was amazed at how quickly they got the work done. Would highly recommend this business to anyone needing exhaust work done.

My car was very loud and I could see a part of the muffler hanging off. I went up to the shop at opening and they got me in right away. 45 minutes and I was all fixed up and out the door. The pricing was reasonable and the staff was super friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Brought in my 05 GTO for custom exhaust work and I cannot explain how happy I am with how everything turned out I will most definitely be bringing all of my future vehicles back. Not to mention how friendly all the staff was and the quality of their work! Unmatched for the price point!

My car was very noisy when I started it in the morning. I called Exhaust Works and they told me to bring it in for an estimate. They called me within a few hours with a reasonable estimate and told me they could have it ready the same day. Pleasant and professional. Very happy to have a quiet car again

For over 10 years our family have had our exhaust system issues taken care of here. Accurate estimates of how long the work would last. Fabricated adapters for parts no longer available. Always good turn around. Vehicles over 20 years old. We want it done right and this is the place to go for that.

I took my truck here for exhaust/muffler work after the Toyota Dealership recommended them. Dropped it off in the morning and it was done by the afternoon at an affordable price. Very pleased with the work.

Honest Shop! Called them and told them about my issue, they stated it was not something they were comfortable working on and referred me to someone that could help! In my opinion it does not get better than that! I appreciate the Honesty!

I was out in the area, nowhere near home. Part of my exhaust rusted out and needed to be fixed right away. I was sent over here and Otto took care of me. Excellent, quick service and excellent price. Highly recommend!

Came back to Exhaust Works for work on a Silverado and Ford Freestyle. Otto did great work and gave us some options for keeping these older cars going. Been having work done here since they opened in the 80's. Always done right. Thanks!

Absolutely the BEST customer service I have received since moving to the Chicago area. I called in the AM, got a quick quote and when I brought my truck in I was in and out in 30 min. The work was extremely well done and again, outstanding customer service and unbeatable prices.

Yesterday as I left Costco in Naperville, it suddenly dawned on me that my procrastination had left me residing in November 26th without getting my VERY noisy car with the check engine light on, checked out and the emissions test was due in NOVEMBER! Hello!!

I called my regular car place on this day before Thanksgiving and was non plussed by his somewhat veiled reluctance to have me come in. So, I called a friend and he said, 'The Exhaust Works!'

So, at about 2:30 p.m. I pulled into the shop and I guess the stars were aligned because the two guys who work there who were VERY nice
