The exhaust pipe going from the manifold to the Catalytic Converter on my 94 Buick detached and the noise was unbearable. Seemed like a simple fix to me but all of the repair facilities I contacted said that, because of the age and condition, the entire exhaust would have to be replaced to the tune of $500-600. I wasn't interested in sticking that kind of money into a 16 year old vehicle. I checked Angie's List and saw some positive reviews for Thomas Auto Works. I called Thomas Auto Works and they were confident they could repair the exhaust and the cost would be under $100. I dropped the car off that morning and the repair was completed by the afternoon. They fabricated a small section of pipe that was welded in place - problem solved! Very satisfied with the entire process, including the price.
Description of Work: Repaired small section of exhaust pipe between manifold and catalytic convertor.

It went great. I dropped the car off the day before, and by noon the next day, I got the call that it was done. For about $100 I was back on the road with a quiet car, as opposed to a $1000 replacement bill. I've gone to Mike for other repairs and preventative maintenance, and the work is always well done and reasonable in price. He is a mechanic I can trust, and I appreciate that.
Description of Work: The exhaust pipe on my '97 RAV4 broke for the third time (3 different places) in the past few of years. Each time, I took it to Mike Thomas and he found a way to repair it. Every repair has held, and the latest repair was 2/19. To replace the whole exhaust would be close to $1000, which I am reluctant to do on a 13 year old car, but Mike has provided good solid repairs that keep me going for a fraction of the cost of total replacement.
