Don’t Let a Noisy Muffler Turn into a Big Problem
Professional Exhaust System Repair at Skip’s Auto Care
A dragging tailpipe or loud muffler might be the stuff of sitcoms, but in the real world, a damaged exhaust system is nothing to laugh about. Faulty exhaust components can reduce your engine’s efficiency, raise harmful emissions, and even allow dangerous gases like carbon monoxide to enter your vehicle’s cabin without warning.
That’s why Skip’s Auto Care offers expert repair and replacement services for every part of your vehicle’s exhaust system.
Full Exhaust System Service – From Engine to Tailpipe
Here’s what we inspect and service:
Exhaust Valves & Pistons: These engine parts push exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber, sending them toward the exhaust system.
Exhaust Manifold: This channels exhaust from the engine to the catalytic converter and often houses oxygen sensors to monitor air-fuel ratios.
Catalytic Converter: A critical emissions component that reduces harmful gases, converting some into less harmful substances.
Exhaust Pipes: These carry gases through the system and toward the muffler.
Muffler: Designed to minimize engine noise and vibration.
Tailpipe: The final exit point for exhaust gases.
Whether you’re dealing with a leak, corrosion, or strange sounds from underneath your car, our certified technicians can quickly diagnose the issue and recommend the best fix.
Exhaust System Trouble? Here’s What to Look (and Listen) For:
Unusual or louder-than-normal exhaust noise
Rattling or clunking sounds
Engine misfires or performance issues
Tailpipe dragging or hanging loose
Strong or strange smells from the exhaust
Excessive moisture around the exhaust tip
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it’s time to have your exhaust system checked.

How Long Will a Muffler Last?
Most mufflers last between 40,000–80,000 miles, but that lifespan can shrink if you frequently drive in harsh conditions—like on salted roads, in cold climates, or over rough terrain. To extend your muffler’s life, wash the undercarriage regularly and consider upgrading to a rust-resistant stainless steel unit when it’s time for a replacement.
Is It Safe to Drive with a Broken Muffler?
It might seem like just a noise issue, but a broken muffler could signal a more serious problem, such as an exhaust leak. Leaks can allow carbon monoxide to enter your cabin—and that’s a major safety hazard. If you suspect a muffler or exhaust issue, don’t wait. Let our qualified techs at Skip’s Auto Care inspect your system and keep you safe on the road.
