Services
We are committed to keeping your family and vehicle safe! Your suspension and steering system should always be in good condition to ensure a safe and reliable ride. Stop in today to have your suspension and steering system inspected or repaired. When your check engine light goes on, it's your vehicle telling you that something is not right with it and that you should get it looked at.
To help your ride last as long as possible and to give you the best miles per gallon, R T Exhaust & Automotive will check and inspect all the major fluids and filters on your vehicle during our comprehensive digital inspection. Free flowing filters will keep your driving smooth and problem free. Engine Air Filter: Your engine needs lots of clean air to make it run.
Maintaining the safety of your vehicle is of the utmost importance to R T Exhaust & Automotive. When your car doesn't start, generally there is not a safety issue related to the situation. When your vehicle doesn't stop, it's a safety issue for everyone in Galveston that we take seriously.

Therefore, during our digital inspections, we will provide you with photographs and measurements of your brakes at every stage of wear from brand new to the time for replacing them.We not only want you safe, we want you informed. We recommend that if you start to experience any shaking or noises when applying the brakes, or a different feel in the brake pedal that you contact us immediately.
We at R T Exhaust & Automotive want you to know that oil is the life blood of your engine. It is the only thing that stands between your engine running for hundreds of thousands of miles and the utter self-destruction of the engine. All the parts that make an engine run actually "float" on a layer of oil.
Your vehicle uses several different fluids to make it do what it does. Engine oil goes through the most use and abuse, so this is why it and the oil filter need to be changed more regularly than other vehicle fluids. So, let R T Exhaust & Automotive tell you about the other fluids we check and service for you during each digital inspection we perform on your vehicle.

Was in Galveston for a few days between Christmas and New Years. The owner worked me in when he probably shouldn’t have as he had cars in front of me. My Yukon made the 12 hour drive back to Missouri the next day no problem. Thank you!

In and out in one day on exhaust crossover pipe on 23 year old truck. A manifold stud broke (expected) and his charge to remove the stud and install a bolt was reasonable. Will use Bobby again.

Took my truck in to have the carrier bearing and u-joints replaced, one of the replacement u-joints was faulty, I called and explained my issue and Kenneth had me come back in the next day and took care of my truck. He also told me what else to look out for and answered all of my questions very thoughtfully. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family, been coming here for years with multiple cars, always drive away happy.

Bobby and his crew at RT exhaust and automotive was a pleasure to do business with. Bobby got a serious engine failure corrected for me and back on the road. I had a tight budget and needed help and Bobby came to my rescue! He’s a good man with great service in getting me back on the road again with my f150. I highly recommend him and his crew!
They are willing to help with your auto needs and I will encourage my family and friends to seek him out as well. Thank you so much Bobby!!!

My Mom and I were headed to Galveston for lunch when the warning lights on the dashboard warned the Suv was overheating. I was going to pullover to a gas Station and saw RT EXHAUST & AUTOMOTIVE. They fixed it right away! On our merry way we went! Thank you for your prompt response and excellent service!

We were in a mess. A/c went out the day before we were returning home. The owner personally took over the job of installing new parts and ensuring that everything was working. Being from out of town, I was at their mercy. Ended up, a great experience, quality work and a fair price. In and out in two and a half hours. Would recommend unconditionally. By the way, the Chevy Dealership said they would not even be able to look at it for two days.
