Clearwater Muffler & Brake

"Needed a new radiator after a fender bender, called first thing in the morning. Drove down there and they got right to work, fixed everything up for a very fair price and I was on my way in a few hours. Good experience and nice people."

"George and his team are the best. Dealership wanted $4,000 to replace a catalytic converter on one of our Nissans. Clearwater Muffler and Brakes got it done for less than 1/2. I'd give 6 stars if I could"

"Hate writing bad reviews but this was just egregious. Dramatically overcharged me for a “tune up” (change of spark plugs, that was it!) then soon after my check engine light came back on and the engine was acting exactly the same as before I had brought it in. Took it to another shop and they said the spark plugs had not been properly installed. I also had an air conditioner issue that I said I believed was the compressor. He told me that he recommended a more intense charging of the system. I said I had already had that done and it didn’t work, the AC still came out barely cool. He insisted his charging machine was different. Well, no it wasn’t. And actually afterward my A/C was coming out even warmer. I took it back and he didn’t even acknowledge that he had not listened to me and performed and unnecessary service, just said “oh yeah it’s the compressor” and told me he’d subtract the $200 from the cost of a new compressor. I called three other shops and their estimate for a compressor was FOUR hundred dollars less than his. So he just worked the price I had already paid for the unnecessary service (and then some) into the cost of the compressor. Shady business all around."

"He attempted to rip off my grandmother. She’s 82! Fortunately something didn’t feel right to her and she had the presence of mind to call my husband. He told her to leave and took her to another shop and gave them George’s diagnosis of the car. This mechanic laughed. Said it was several hundred dollars of extra repairs the car absolutely did not need. He also said it was far from the first time someone had come into his shop seeking a second opinion after Clearwater Muffler tried to scam them. You’ve got to be lower than low to try to screw over an elderly woman."

"Got the exhaust system replaced on my 2009 Honda for about half the price a well regarded local mechanic quoted me. Not sure why the local mechanic was so high, but these folks were right on the money and did the job quickly with no issues. I was in and out in about an hour. I couldn’t believe how quickly they worked."
