Our Story and Deep Roots in the Community

We started back in 1980 as a small shop focused just on mufflers and exhaust. Our customers loved our work and asked for more options. To help them out, we officially expanded into a full-service garage in 1992. For decades, we have proudly served families across Barnhart, Missouri, and nearby Jefferson County. Cars have changed a lot over the years, but our honest service and good work stay exactly the same.

"Had a new muffler, tailpipe assembly put on my 2003 ford f150. Made an appointment, took in my truck and they immediately looked at it. After 10 minutes the gave me a great price. I said go ahead, 1 1/2 hrs later the job was completed at the quoted price. Very happy with the service, price & quality of work. I'll go back as a first choice for any services they provide."

"Friendly, honest, quick and efficient. Went in at the advice of a friend and was treated well from the initial phone call throughout the service. Price beat all other estimates by over $30 and got same day service. I will definitely return if I am in need of repairs again! "

Rita Q.

"They are completely professional and trustworthy; they all talk to me, not down to me because I'm a woman. Friendliest folks as well; Jim is always helpful and goes out of his way to do so; Annette is just the same; I can't ask for more from them or their staff who have always been there for me during some of my more difficult times. They are fair and accommodating. Cannot recommend them highly enough."
